The orthophosphate phosphors, Ba3La(PO4)3 activated with Dy3+ and Gd3+-Dy3+ ions, were prepared by a solid reaction technique at high temperature. Their spectroscopic properties were investigated in the vacuum ultraviolet (VUV)-visible range. We found that the introducing of Gd3+ greatly enhances the Dy3+ luminescence…

In the present paper, we report a simple approach for creating a nanocrystalline layer on the surface of stone wool fibers (SWFs) with a basalt‐like composition. The approach is based on a preoxidation process of the SWFs in atmospheric air at a temperature around the glass transition temperature ( T g ) for various d…

Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are considered to be ideal multifunctional materials for biorelated applications, but there is still some controversy regarding their toxicity. In addition, the poor dispersibility of MWCNTs in either water or organic solvents has limited their practical applications. Therefore, o…

Trimethylsilylation of cellulose in different 1,3-dialkylimidazolium ionic liquids (IL) with hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS) as a silylating agent was investigated. Trimethylsilyl (TMSi) cellulose with a degree of substitution (DS) greater than 1 is insoluble in the IL. The maximum DS obtained depends on the nature of the…

The fracture toughness of four different silicon carbides was measured using single‐edge precracked beam (SEPB) and indentation/strength techniques. Two were development grades with similar microstructures and chemistries, and yet exhibited different fracture modes. The grade that exhibited a predominantly intergranul…

Abstract The local structure of Ba(Ti 0.70 ,Sn 0.30 )O 3 (BSnT) was investigated using micro Raman spectroscopy from 80 to 500 K, which indicated three local phase sequences. The dielectric spectroscopy studies illustrated freezing of polar nano‐regions (PNR) below 95 K, merger of frequency dispersion at 220 K, and th…

Temperature-dependent reflectivity spectra of a multiferroic hexagonal ${\text{YMnO}}_{3}$ single crystal were measured with polarized light in the ferroelectric phase. The phonon parameters for both $E\ensuremath{\parallel}c$ and $E\ensuremath{\perp}c$ polarizations are obtained by fitting the dielectric function to…

The geometrical, electronic and optical properties of alpha,alpha'-quater(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (4EDOT) and alpha,alpha'-quater(thiophene) (4T) are studied by quantum-chemical calculations; the computed vibronic spectra at low and room temperature (RT) are compared to experiment. Our results suggest that the bet…

Glasses, supercooled liquids and proteins share common properties, in particular the existence of an energy landscape and the presence of two types of fluctuations, α and β. While the effect of α fluctuations on proteins has been known for a few years, the effect of β fluctuations has not been fully understood. By com…
