The line tension of a dislocation is measured in a vertical smectic-A film as a function of temperature and film thickness. There are two contributions to the line tension: a bulk contribution that corresponds to the energy of the dislocation in an infinite medium and a surface correction that accounts for interaction…

A finite-element full-vectorial beam-propagation method is presented, for the first time, for the analysis of 3-D anisotropic optical waveguides. Full 3/spl times/3 permittivity and permeability tensors are considered. The formulation takes into account the polarization dependence and the component coupling due to the…

A simple method for the fabrication of nanocrystalline Cu 4 O 3 in polyaniline is reported. An aqueous solution of copper(II) acetate and aniline (1:10 mole ratio) is irradiated by ultrasound to produce nanophased Cu 4 O 3 embedded in a polyaniline matrix. The as-prepared Cu 4 O 3 - polyaniline is characterized by X-r…

An inspection technique based on angular dispersive X-ray diffraction (ADXRD) has been developed to chemically specific detection of explosives for screening applications. The technique identifies explosives from benign materials using the characteristic Bragg features seen in coherently scattered X-rays. To implement…

Poly(3-hydroxyalkanoate)s, PHAs, containing pendant carboxyl groups were prepared by the chemical modification of unsaturated PHAs using potassium permanganate (KMnO4) at 55°C, although there is a severe loss in molecular weight of PHAs during the reaction. The introduction of carboxylic groups in the products was ver…

Several previous studies of ${\mathrm{K}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}{\mathrm{Li}}_{x}{\mathrm{TaO}}_{3}$ (KLT) have revealed the presence, above the structural transition, of polar nanoregions. Recently, these have been shown to play an essential role in the relaxor behavior of KLT. In order to characterize these regions, we…

The electrical transport in quasiperiodic systems at zero temperature is studied by means of the Kubo-Greenwood formula within a tight-binding model. Their dc conductivity is compared with that obtained from the Landauer formula. Special attention is paid to the transparent states, whose transmittance is unity. The ac…

Monoclinic and hexagonal forms of celsians (BaAl 2 Si 2 O 8 ) were synthesized by hydrolysis–polycondensation of Si/Al alkoxide mixtures. Dilatometry, Raman scattering, IR absorption, and X‐ray diffraction techniques were used to identify various hexacelsian phases and their conversion into the monoclinic phase as a f…

Complex particles have been formed by the electrostatic association of protonated polystyrene- b -poly(2-vinylpyridine) (PS- b -PVPH + ) micelles with sodium poly(styrenesulfonate) (PSS - Na + ), all at pH 1. Light scattering demonstrates that there is a large mass excess of PSS - associated with each PS- b -PVPH + mi…
