Recently, the correlation between the 1100 cm −1 Raman band and the sp 3 fraction in amorphous or nanocrystalline carbon films was unambiguously demonstrated. From theoretical and experimental results on carbon-assembled materials, an explanation about the 1100 cm −1 Raman band origin is given. The difficulty to detec…

Abstract A rheooptical method proposed rapidly determines the aspect ratio and polydispersity of small axisymmetric, nonspherical particles. The time evolution of the average orientation angle of optically isotropic, nonabsorbing particles upon inception of a shear flow was monitored by a polarization modulation metho…

Conserved amino acid residues of riboflavin synthase from Escherichia coli were modified by site-directed mutagenesis. Replacement or deletion of phenylalanine 2 afforded catalytically inactive proteins. S41A and H102Q mutants had substantially reduced reaction velocities. Replacements of various other conserved polar…

Abstract The Kübler Index (KI) is defined as the full width at half-maximum height (FWHM) of the 10-Å X-ray diffraction peak of illite-smectite interstratified (I-S) clay minerals. The only parameters controlling the Kübler Index are assumed to be the mean number of layers (N) in the coherent scattering domains (CSD),…
