We investigate the nonlinear evolution of the Bales-Zangwill instability, responsible for the meandering of atomic steps on a growing vicinal surface. We develop an asymptotic method to derive, in the continuous limit, an evolution equation for the two-dimensional step flow. The dynamics of the crystal surface is grea…

Fundamental theories governing the number of fiber intersections in random nonwoven fiber webs were developed based on the planar geometry of fiber midpoints distributed in a two-dimensional Poisson field. First, the statistical expectation and variance for the number of fiber intersections in unit web area were obtai…

This paper presents our detailedly theoretical analyses on omnidirectional constant transmission and negative Brewster angle at planar interfaces associated with a uniaxial medium. The amplitude reflection and transmission coefficients at planar interfaces associated with uniaxial media are derived by examining the bo…

Phonons in K 0.5 Na 0.5 NbO 3 (KNN-50) ceramics were investigated from 10 to 900 K by means of Raman, infrared and THz spectroscopy. A first-order phase transition was detected from cubic to tetragonal phases at about 710 K, when the first component of the polarization appears. Transition from the tetragonal to the or…

An analysis of certain types of multiplicative congruential generators--otherwise known for their application to the sequential generation of pseudo-random numbers--reveals their relation to the coordinate description of lattice points in two-dimensional primitive sublattices. Taking the index of the lattice-sublattic…

Abstract A film of carboxymethyl‐β‐cyclodextrin‐intercalated Zn–Al layered double hydroxide (CMCD–LDH) was investigated for selective adsorption of the nucleosides adenosine (A) and guanosine (G). The effects of pH value and adsorption time on the adsorption behavior were studied. The CMCD–LDH film shows a higher sele…

Abstract We report that nano‐emulsions can be creatively used as a morphology selective synthesis method to prepare not only nano‐grains but also nano‐fibers with high selectivity. Synthesis of the two different morphological materials was demonstrated using polyaniline synthesis as a model case. Polyaniline nano‐grai…

In 2-ethoxybenzamide, C(9)H(11)NO(2), the amide substituents are linked into centrosymmetric head-to-head hydrogen-bonded dimers. Additional hydrogen bonds between adjacent dimers give rise to ribbon-like packing motifs, which extend along the c axis and possess a third dimension caused by twisting of the 2-ethoxyphen…

Solid solutions of (1-x)BiFeO 3 –xBaTiO 3 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.30) were prepared by a two-step solid state reaction procedure. After pre-sintering and sintering at 800°C/1h and slow cooling, pure single phase compositions were obtained for all the analyzed mixtures in the limit of XRD accuracy, including for x = 0. A gradual at…

Extremely thin monolayer titania nanosheets on silicon substrate appear as dark islands in scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images. To explain the origin of this dark contrast, we compared images with reference titania thin films, which show bright contrast. Carbon deposition only 1 nm thick reversed the contrast of…
