We have studied ultrasonic wave propagation in two-dimensional quasiperiodic steel/water heterostructures with 8-, 10-, 12-, and 14-fold Patterson symmetry. The formation of band gaps in this kind of quasiperiodic phononic crystal (QPNC) is mainly governed by multiple Bragg scattering. The particular role of the perio…

Abstract We study the thickness dependence of the resonances of split‐ring resonators (SRRs) in the optical regime using experiments and numerical simulations. It is shown that the so‐called LC resonance frequency of an SRR increases with its thickness. We use inductor–capacitor ( LC ) circuits and a plasmonic model t…

Summary On Faial and Pico islands (Azores), we studied two profiles on basaltic pyroclasts that contain buried horizons, and we focussed on petrography, micropedology and mineralogy. Emphasis was given to weathering of the lapilli and ashes, and the neoformation of allophane. A combination of optical studies, in situ…

DFT calculations have been performed on a palladium cluster adsorbed on two different carbonaceous supports, namely, two stacked polycircumcoronene units mimicking a double layer of graphite and a portion of an armchair (6,6) carbon nanotube. All of the systems have been subjected to geometry optimization and electron…

In this paper, the results of experiments conducted to investigate the friction coefficient existing at a brass-steel interface are presented. The research discussed here is the second of a two-part study on the size effects in friction conditions that exist during microextrusion. In the regime of dimensions of the or…

Additives are one of the most influential factors that can affect the polymorphism and solvation state and the morphology of the crystals during crystallization. In this work, the effects of five different additives, sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), polyethylene glycol 6000 (PEG), hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), pol…

Abstract By studying metamaterials at low frequency, where wavelengths are much larger than the unit cell, the requirements of homogenization and the effective medium approximation can be easily met. The Swiss Roll medium is well‐suited to the RF frequency range, and here we review its behaviour, both as a one‐dimensi…

In situ and time-resolved simultaneous analysis by two different and complementary techniques, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), has been developed. A conventional source for the infrared light and synchrotron radiation for the X-ray beam have been used. The new te…

The properties of polystyrene blends containing deuteriopolystyrene, multiply end-functionalized with C8F17 fluorocarbon groups, are strikingly analogous to those of surfactants in solution. These materials, denoted FxdPSy, where x is the number of fluorocarbon groups and y is the molecular weight of the dPS chain in…

Recently, multiwalled N-doped carbon nanotubes were decorated with Ag nanoparticles (NPs) by a simple procedure. Now, as a continuation of our earlier work, Ag NP−graphite and Ag NP−molybdenite composites were prepared with this easy, fast, and inexpensive method. Graphite or molybdenite (MoS 2 ) powder was suspended…

In situ copolyesters containing polylactide (PLA) and polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) segments were obtained via ring-opening polymerization of L-lactide using PHA as a macroinitiator with stannous octoate as catalyst. Incorporation of PHA (20 wt %) into PLA affords a novel copolymer with Mn values ranging from 25 to 50 KD…
