We present several results related to the instability of MoC and MoN in the B1 (sodium chloride) structure. These compounds were proposed as potential superconductors with moderately high transition temperatures. We show that the elastic instability in B1-structure MoN, demonstrated several years ago, persists at elev…

The planar front of a growing a crystal is often destroyed by instabilities. In the case of growth from a condensed phase, the most frequent ones are diffusion instabilities, which will be but briefly discussed in simple terms in chapter II. The present review is mainly devoted to instabilities which arise in ballisti…

In this paper, we mainly present a new simple, efficient and nondestructive Raman scattering analysis method to study the distribution of strain in SiGe alloy films. The method can simultaneously determine both Ge fractional composition x and strain of SiGe films. We use the Ar+ laser lines (514.5, 488 and 457.9 nm) t…

Ultraviolet fluorescence (UVF) is introduced as a novel and versatile method for the determination of the contamination of metal impurities on silicon wafer surfaces. The results given demonstrate the usefulness of UVF for contamination control in silicon wafer processing. The experiments show some main characteristic…

By pressure injecting Bi liquid melt into the nanochannels of an anodic alumina template, we have successfully fabricated Bi nanowire arrays with ultrafine wire diameters and extremely high wire packing densities. Free-standing Bi nanowires with controlled wire diameters and large aspect ratios (length/diameter) were…

An investigation was carried out on the dipole dynamics of low molecular weight crown ether series and related compounds by dielectric relaxation spectroscopy (DRS). An unexpected discovery regarding two main relaxations observed by DRS and calorimetric (DSC) measurements have been analyzed using neat and solvent-pres…

The surface microhardness of conventional thermoplastics lie between 0.1 and 0.6 GPa. The as-cast emeraldine (EM-25) base film of polyaniline (PANi) exhibits a surface microhardness of about 1 GPa. The hardness is increased to about 4 GPa in the highly cross-linked EM (EM-150) film. This hardness value is further enha…

To clarify the N 2 formation mechanism during the C−N 2 O reaction, the detailed nitrogen mass balance was established. It was also attempted to reveal the role of surface nitrogen species in this reaction by using isotope gases. In contrast to the case of the C−NO reaction, the accumulation of nitrogen on the carbon…

In situ small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) rheology is used to study the dynamic process of shear alignment in a lamellar poly(styrene- b -ethylene propylene) diblock copolymer, at temperatures far below the microphase separation transition temperature. We have focused on the alignment dynamics at time scales shorter…

Two new classes of octupolar nonlinear chromophores, deriving from 1,3,5-triazines and oligothienylic crystal violet analogues, have been synthesized and their nonlinear properties investigated using the harmonic light scattering experiment. The easy preparation of these molecules makes them attractive candidates for…

We apply the Merrifield variational method to the Holstein molecular crystal model in D dimensions to compute non-adiabatic polaron band energies and Franck-Condon factors at general crystal momenta. We analyze these observable properties to extract characteristic features related to polaron self-trapping and potentia…

In this paper there is presented method for ab initio calculation of the phonon spectra. The method is based upon a direct calculation of the dynamical matrix via second derivatives of the total energy. The pseudopotential technique in plane-wave basis set was used to calculate the total energy within the local densit…

Polynuclear transition-metal complexes, such as Fe–S clusters, are the prosthetic groups in a large number of metalloproteins and serve as temporary electron storage units in a number of important redox-based biological processes. Polynuclearity distinguishes clusters from mononuclear centers and confers upon them uni…
