Temperature dependences of the permittivity and of the dielectric hysteresis loops in ceramic samples of nominally pure CdTiO3 and a Sr1−x CdxTiO3 solid solution were studied. At 76.5±0.5 K, CdTiO3 was established to undergo a ferroelectric phase transition close to the tricritical point. The temperature dependence of…

Useful features of an efficient thin-film synthesis technique based on the refinement of inhomogeneous films are adapted to the needle method. As in the former approach, all the layer refractive indices and thicknesses are refined simultaneously, and special attention is given to computation speed and accuracy. In par…

Mixtures of Zr(OH) 4 and ZrO 2 particles, ∼10 nm in size, were hydrothermally treated in 0.25–1.5 mol/L H 2 SO 4 solutions at a temperature of 200°C. After 3 h, very short ZrO 2 fibers, 10–30 nm in length, were obtained, with no other zirconium compounds observed. The particles grew with treatment time and resulted in…

Abstract Melt grafting of maleic anhydride onto elastomeric ethylene‐octene copolymer was carried out in a twin‐screw extruder, in the presence of dicumyl peroxide as an initiator. Dimethyl formamide was used as an inhibitor to reduce crosslinking and as a solvent for peroxide initiator. The aim of the work is to prod…

Temperature dependence of the structural parameters is investigated in LaCoO 3 that shows a spin state transition at T spin ∼100 K by means of high-resolution time-of-fight (TOF) neutron powder diffraction measurements. We have found that the structural parameters, such as, Co–O bond length d and Co–O–Co bondangle Θ,…

The development of auxospores and initial cells of the freshwater chain-forming diatom Ellerbeckia arenaria forma arenaria was studied using light and electron microscopy. Whether the auxospore mother cell is formed vegetatively (parthenogenesis) or through autogamy, is still a matter of speculation. Because no signs…

Atomic density and quasilattice constant of AlPdRe icosahedral quasicrystals decreases and slightly increases, respectively, with increasing concentration of transition metals, which have smaller atomic radii. Average atomic packing could not be described simply by rigid sphere packing, that is, the covalent nature of…

The present paper proposes a non-linear finite element model for the time response of a novel shape memory alloy (SMA) actuator. The actuator has a plane beam configuration composed of a matrix material with SMA sheets or wires embedded in and/or bonded to the matrix part. The finite element model can be used to analy…

Ramped high direct-voltage tests have proven to be an effective and nondestructive means for reducing in-service stator winding failures. The measured current versus applied voltage response obtained during these off-line tests can be used to detect cracks and fissures, moisture absorption, tape separations, conductiv…

A novel class of dendrons and dendrimers containing all-azobenzene units (up to 29 azobenzene groups) was designed and synthesized by the convergent method using a protected orthogonal AB(2) monomer (10) and tetra-functionalized core (11) as building blocks. The preparation of the key monomer (10) involved condensatio…

Hard amorphous silicon carbonitride coatings for wear resistance have been produced by d.c. plasma‐enhanced chemical vapour deposition on pure iron at 573 K. Compared with most plasma assisted processes work was conducted under a relatively high pressure of 130 Pa. The advantages of this technique are an amorphous fil…

Abstract Semiconductor nanorods have been synthesized by the use of surfactants. The nanorods of CuS, ZnS, CdS, CuSe, ZnSe, and CdSe have diameters in the 5–150 nm range and exhibit high aspect ratios, with lengths of up to several microns. By using a high surfactant concentration, nanotube‐like structures of CdS and…

Synthesis and curing behaviors of polyphenol from urushiol analogues have been examined. The analogues were synthesized by lipase-catalyzed esterification of 4-hydroxyphenethyl alcohol with unsaturated fatty acids, in which the primary hydroxy group was regioselectively acylated to give the phenol derivatives having t…
