Single crystals of warwickite, trimagnesium titanium(IV) dioxide bis-(borate), Mg(3)TiO(2)(BO(3))(2), were prepared by slow cooling of the melt. The title compound is isotypic with Co(3)TiO(2)(BO(3))(2). In contrast to the previous refinement of warwickite [Moore & Araki (1974 ▶). Am. Mineral.59, 985-1004], that repor…

Manganese doped cadmium ferrites (Cd1-xMnxFe2O4, x=0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1) were studied by using ab initio calculation based on generalized gradient approximation (GGA). The dependence of electronic structure and magnetic properties on the additional on-site Coulomb repulsion (U) was investigated. In the calculation, n…

The field lines of energy flow of the radiation emitted by a linear dipole in free space are straight lines, running radially outward from the source. When the dipole is embedded in a medium, the field lines are curves when the imaginary part of the relative permittivity is finite. It is shown that due to the damping…

The surface potential variations on ZnO nanocrystal surfaces were investigated by using Kelvin probe force microscopy. It was found that the nanocrystal surface contains randomly distributed circular pits with a diameter of ∼100 nm and a depth of ∼30 nm and that the surface potential within the pits is lower than that…

We report a method for modulating the physicochemical properties of surfaces that is based on the reactive layer-by-layer fabrication of covalently crosslinked thin films using azlactone-functionalized copolymers. We demonstrate that copolymers containing different molar ratios of methylmethacrylate (MMA) and 2-vinyl-…

4,4-Difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene (BODIPY) derivatives were prepared and their photochemical properties were characterized. One such analogue, 4,4-difluoro-4-bora-1,3,5,7-tetramethyl-8-(5-hydroxypentyl)-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene was transformed into the corresponding phosphoramidite and incorporated into oligode…

We analyze the C(p)-T data for the glassy state of eight materials of varied molecular interactions and structures to investigate how the use of the C(p)d ln T integral in the time-dependent (nonreversible) thermodynamic path between a liquid and glass affects our estimates of the entropy. Since the change in entropy…

Imaging with a spherical mirror in empty space is compared with the case when the mirror is filled with Maxwell’s fish eye medium. Exact time-dependent solutions of Maxwell’s equations show that perfect imaging is not achievable with an electrical ideal mirror on its own, but it is with Maxwell’s fish eye in the regim…
