Polypyrrole films have been prepared by potentiostatic electrochemical polymerization at low temperatures. The cyclic voltammograms and the electronic transport properties of the films are investigated as a function of the polymerization potential. As the potential increases from 520 mV to 1.2 V, the oxidation peak mo…

In the present study, we investigated the magnetic interactions of some dinitrenes by employing the broken symmetry-unrestricted density functional theoretical (BS-UDFT) approach along with the use of three basis sets. The magnetic coupling parameter (J) has been calculated, and thereby the magnetic character of the m…

We propose a scheme to induce transparency in one-dimensional disordered multilayers which are composed of negative permittivity and negative permeability metamaterials. First, analytical expressions for transparency condition are derived exactly, providing us a picture that complete tunneling in such kind of multiple…

Abstract Synthetic methods for a series of zinc tetra[6,7]quinoxalinoporphyrazines (6,7‐TQP) with peripheral chains connected through the S, O and N heteroatoms as well as through the C–C bond were developed. Photophysical and photochemical properties of 6,7‐TQP were compared with tetrapyrazinoporphyrazines (TPP) bear…

For a variety of laser interferometric experiments, the thermal noise of high-reflectivity multilayer dielectric coatings limits the measurement sensitivity. Recently, monolithic high-reflection waveguide mirrors with nanostructured surfaces have been proposed to reduce the thermal noise in interferometric measurement…

Three methods for improved deresination of sulphite pulps were evaluated, namely, alkaline washing, enzyme treatment, and pulp fractionation. Alkaline washing appears to come at a high cost, because caustic is expensive and affects cellulose chain length, as indicated by lower viscosity of the pulps. Thus this is not…

The discovery of ultrasound-induced in-situ formation of coordination organogels using various isobutyric acids (such as isobutyric acid or 2-methylisobutyric acid or 2-bromoisobutyric acid) and zinc oxide nanoparticles was described. FTIR and XRD results suggest that ultrasound irradiation triggers the quick dissolut…

By developing and making use of the potential theory of the polymer-mediated interaction between spherical colloids, we investigate the many-body effects on the depletion interaction among these colloids in the colloid-polymer mixture. As our main results, we obtain analytic expressions for the polymer end density in…

We introduce a novel imaging technique adopting remote focusing for resolving the axial dynamics in the director field for liquid crystals. The high axial time resolution of our approach is demonstrated by imaging directly the evolution of the director field for an initially splayed nematic layer subject to a sudden v…
