Pulsed electroacoustic (PEA) method is a very popular method for measurement of charge in dielectrics. In this method, an acoustic wave proportional to charge is generated by a pulsed HV. The acoustic wave traverses several material layers before being sensed and converted to electrical signal by a piezoelectric trans…

Eu-doped fluorosilicate apatites M2Y3[SiO4]3F (M = Sr, Ba) are prepared by solid state reaction. Unlike conventional Eu-doped materials, coexistence of Eu3+ and Eu2+ ions is found from the photoluminescence of Eu-doped apatites M2Y3[SiO4]3F (M = Sr, Ba) which were prepared in reducing atmosphere. Eu2+ ions are convert…

We discuss the sign change of superconducting order parameters in both real and reciprocal spaces when the odd parity spin singlet pairing proposed recently by Hu [Phys. Rev. X 3, 031004 (2013)] is allowed. We show that in this case an nodeless antiphase ${s}^{\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}}$ can be generated. In a 2-Fe…

Porous biodegradable polymeric foams loaded with drugs have potential applications in tissue engineering and sustained delivery systems. A single-step process using supercritical CO 2 as a foaming and carrier agent was used for the impregnation of 5-fluorouracil in polylactide and poly(lactide- co -glycolide) probes.…

A series of 2,6-bis[aryl(alkyl)sulfonyl]anilines were synthesized by nucleophilic aromatic substitution of 2,6-dichloronitrobenzene with various aryl or alkyl thiolates (benzyl-, phenyl-, 2-naphthyl-, and 2-aminophenyl thiolate), followed by hydrogenation and subsequent oxidation. All prepared 2,6-bis[aryl-(alkyl)sulf…

ABSTRACT A green‐chemistry approach to improve the moisture resistance of soy flour (SF)‐based wood adhesive is described. Chemical phosphorylation of SF (PSF), using POCl 3 as the phosphorylating agent, dramatically increased its wet bond strength. The optimum POCl 3 :SF ratio that produced maximum wet bond strength…

A single‐phase multicolor emitting phosphor, Ca 3 Al 2 O 6 :Ce 3+ ,Li + , was prepared by a solid‐state reaction. When the Ce 3+ concentration is lower than 0.030 (molar ratio in Ca 3 Al 2 O 6 ), yellow and greenish blue emissions can be observed under the excitation by a blue and a near UV light, respectively. The ye…
