We provide exact results for the Laplace-transformed partition function of a wormlike chain subject to a tensile force and in a nematic field, in both two and three dimensions. The results are in the form of infinite continued fractions, which are obtained by exploiting the hierarchical structure of a moment-based exp…
The successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction method was used to deposit CdSe thin films on glass substrates at room temperature (300 K). The films were characterized by x-ray diffraction, energy dispersive x-ray analysis, scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy and high-resolution transmission elec…
The thermal expansion behavior of polystyrene $(\mathrm{PS})$ thin films was investigated using x-ray reflectivity, focusing on ultrathin films below $10\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{nm}$. It was found that the glass transition temperature ${T}_{\mathrm{g}}$ decreases with thickness as reported by many researcher…
Abstract Nanocomposites based on poly(hydroxybutyrate‐ co ‐hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) and multi‐walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) were prepared by solution processing. Ultrasonic energy was used to uniformly disperse MWNTs in solutions and to incorporate them into composites. Microscopic observation reveals that polymer‐co…
A “peelable banana” is formed when a bent-core molecule is linked to a rodlike mesogen through a flexible aliphatic spacer. This is an appropriate description of this novel low-molar-mass organic system, which displays a transition from a biaxial nematic (Nb) phase to a biaxial smectic A phase. The illustration gives…
Wheel meet again: The titanium(IV) substituted [{β-Ti2SiW10O39}4]24− (1) consists of four β-Keggin moieties that are linked via Ti-O-Ti bonds leading to a cyclic arrangement (see picture; red WO6, green TiO6, and blue SiO4). The wheels stack to give a tunnel-like structure. Synthesis of 1 is from the dilacunary precur…
To develop a good host material for red phosphors as well as a model for clarifying the underlying correlation between structure and properties, tetragonal phased LaVO4:Eu was synthesized via an ethylenediamine tetra-acetic acid (EDTA) assisted hydrothermal method. The challenging transformation from monazite to the m…
Using event-driven molecular dynamics simulations, we study a three-dimensional one-component system of spherical particles interacting via a discontinuous potential combining a repulsive square soft core and an attractive square well. In the case of a narrow attractive well, it has been shown that this potential has…
Many crystallographic protein structures are being determined using molecular replacement (MR), a model-based phasing method that has become increasingly important with the steady growth of the PDB. While there are several highly automated software packages for MR, the methods for preparing optimal search models for M…
The monomeric D-glucose/D-galactose-binding protein (GGBP) from Escherichia coli (M(r) 33000) is a periplasmic protein that serves as a high-affinity receptor for the active transport and chemotaxis towards both sugars. The effect of D-glucose binding on the thermal unfolding of the GGBP protein at pH 7.0 has been mea…
Small-angle X-ray scattering and size-exclusion chromatography have been combined within a unified experimental set-up to obtain molecular size information. Besides providing simultaneous corroborative data bearing on the same question from two distinct experimental techniques, passing the samples over a gel filtratio…
Abstract The kinetics of magnesia hydration to produce magnesium hydroxide is crucial for process design and control, and for the production of an Mg(OH) 2 powder with desirable particle morphology. In this study, highly pure magnesia has been hydrated in a batch reactor. The effects of the following variables were ev…
The synchrotron powder diffraction beamline B2 at HASYLAB/DESY is described. The beamline is capable of high-resolution powder diffraction as well as time-resolved studies and offers several sophisticated ancillary equipments for special applications. A newly developed image-plate system allows for kinetic studies wit…
The stability and bonding of the ternary complex K$_2$PtCl$_6$ structure hydrides is discussed using first principles density functional calculations. The cohesion is dominated by ionic contributions, but ligand field effects are important, and are responsible for the 18-electron rule. Similarities to oxides are discu…
Structural and superconducting properties of magnesium diboride thin films grown by pulsed laser deposition on zirconium diboride buffer layers were studied. We demonstrate that the ZrB2 layer is compatible with the MgB2 two step deposition process. Synchrotron radiation measurements, in particular anomalous diffracti…
We have investigated beating patterns in Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations for HgTe/Hg_{0.3}Cd_{0.7}Te(001) quantum wells with electron densities of 2 to 3 X 10^{12} cm^{-2}. Up to 12 beating nodes have been observed at magnetic fields between 0.9 and 6 T. Zero magnetic field spin-orbit splitting energies up to 30 meV ha…
We report on a direct experimental evidence of shot noise in a linear macroscopic resistor. The origin of the shot noise comes from the fluctuation of the total number of charge carriers inside the resistor associated with their diffusive motion under the condition that the dielectric relaxation time becomes longer th…
The optical properties of Mn–Mg-codoped epitaxial GaN were studied. Addition of Mg acceptors quenches the weak manganese-related photoluminescence (PL) band at 1.3eV in GaN:Mn and a series of sharp PL peaks are observed at 1eV in codoped epilayers. The change in PL spectra indicates that the Mg addition stabilizes the…
Epitaxial La0.67Sr0.33MnO3(LSMO)∕SrRuO3(SRO) ferromagnetic bilayers have been grown on (001)SrTiO3(STO) substrates by pulsed laser deposition with atomic layer control. We observe a shift in the magnetic hysteresis loop of the LSMO layer in the same direction as the applied biasing field (positive exchange bias). The…
We propose a generalized stochastic Landau-Lifshitz equation and its corresponding Fokker-Planck equation for the magnetization dynamics in the presence of spin transfer torques. Since the spin transfer torque can pump a magnetic energy into the magnetic system, the equilibrium temperature of the magnetic system is il…
