The effect of particle size on the transport properties (resistivity and thermopower) of La0.5Pb0.5MnO3 has been investigated both in the presence and in the absence of magnetic field B=0.0–1.5 T (maximum). Grain size, dc conductivity; and the metal–insulator transition temperature Tp of the sample increase with incre…

In this paper we report the development of a family of polymerizable urea derivatives that are gelators for organic solvents. The design involves amino-acid-based urea derivatives containing methacrylate functional groups. Several of the bis-ureas show excellent gelation properties in a variety of organic solvents at…

Polarized Raman spectra of oriented finely twinned ${\mathrm{CaMnO}}_{3}$ thin films and nonpolarized Raman spectra of ${\mathrm{CaMnO}}_{3}$ ceramics were studied at room temperature using several excitation laser wavelengths. The selection rules for the polarized Raman spectra, obtained from samples consisting of fi…

The experimentally measured coercive electric fields for domain reversal in ferroelectrics are typically many orders of magnitude lower than the estimates from phenomenological free-energy theory. This letter specifically investigates the influence of polarization gradients at pre-existing 180° domain walls in ferroel…

We studied the relation between the electronic structure and the phsyiscal properties of ${\mathrm{SrFe}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}{\mathrm{Co}}_{x}{\mathrm{O}}_{3}.$ The main technique used in the study was Fe $2p,$ Co $2p,$ and O $1s$ x-ray absorption spectroscopy. The experimental spectra were analyzed in terms of the con…

We have studied the temperature (T) and field (H) dependence of the magnetocaloric effect in a bulk amorphous Pd40Ni22.5Fe17.5P20 alloy. With decreasing T, and depending on H, the alloy exhibits superparamagnetic, field-induced ferromagnetic, and spin-glass behavior. The temperature-dependence of the magnetic entropy…

Combination of nanolithography and electrochemistry allows the chemical modification of individual single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) by attachment of functional groups. This approach allows both the reductive as well as oxidative coupling of substituted phenyl groups, presumably to defect sites in the tubes. The…

Easily obtained in a single step from bipyrrolic precursors in yields over 70 %, cyclo[8]pyrroles represent a new class of porphyrin analogues that display the classic disklike structure of porphyrins. The X-ray crystal structure of one of the cyclo[8]pyrroles obtained (see picture) shows that the macrocycle acts as a…
