In the course of plasma deposition of organic-polymeric thin films, radicals are incorporated into the growing film. These radicals initiate spontaneous oxidation reactions that continue over many weeks when the plasma polymers are stored in air. The resultant changes to the composition with time were monitored by XPS…

The surfaces of zinc sulphide particles after copper(II) activation at pH 9 have been studied by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The influence of x-ray irradiation time on the forms and intensities of the photoelectron signals from zinc sulphide particles activated at various copper coverages was investigated. High…

The temperature variation of planar electromechanical coupling coefficient (kp) in Pb(ZrxTi1−x)O3(PZT) ceramics near the morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) compositions has been correlated with structural changes to show that the maximum electromechanical response at a given composition (x) is a function of temperature…

Carbon nitride thin films have been deposited on silicon substrates, using a newly developed surface wave discharge/pulsed laser deposition system. Nitrogen incorporation in the films is examined by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). It shows that interaction between the laser ablated carbon species and nitrogen…

Ultraviolet (UV) light emission with almost the same peak wavelengths from thermally oxidized porous silicon (OPS) (340, 355, and 370 nm) and SiO2 powder (340, 350, and 370 nm) has been observed. Photoluminescence excitation spectra of OPS without Si nanoscale particles (SNP) and those of SiO2 powder are very similar,…

We have used digital video microscopy to study the equilibrium structure of quasi-two-dimensional suspensions of sterically stabilized uncharged polymethylmethacrylate spheres. Our experiments reveal the existence of an equilibrium hexatic phase as well as strongly first-order liquid-to-hexatic and hexatic-to-solid ph…

We calculate the distribution function of the end-to-end distance of a semiflexible polymer with large bending rigidity. This quantity is directly observable in experiments on single semiflexible polymers (e.g., DNA, actin) and relevant to their interpretation. It is also an important starting point for analyzing the…

A new route for nylon-6,6 synthesis has been studied. The process is grounded on the synthesis of an α-amino ω-ester monoamide precursor (AME-6,6) easily available in reacting in the bulk hexamethylene diamine and dimethyl adipate at a low temperature (T ≅ 50°C) preferably in the presence of a phenol derivative. In su…

Two simple techniques using single-crystal specimens in polarized infrared attenuated total reflection (ATR) spectroscopy were developed for structural studies of molecular crystals, in particular of long-chain compounds. The first technique relates to a rotatory change of sample setting around the normal of the sampl…

The complexation of three kinds of sequence-ordered acid (co)polymers with a base homopolymer was studied. The acid polymers used are poly(methacrylic acid) 1, alternating (1:1) ethylene-methacrylic acid copolymer 2, and periodic (2:1) ethylene-methacrylic acid copolymer 3, and the base polymer is poly(4-vinylpyridine…

We have conducted a detailed study of Kr films adsorbed on BN. We have performed adsorption-isotherm measurements and calculations for the potential energy of Kr atoms on the surface of BN. Both the experimental and the theoretical results are extensively compared to data for Kr on graphite, as well as to data for ${\…

Pyroelectrically induced electron emission from different ferroelectric single crystals and ceramics is studied. It is observed that (Pb,La)(Zr,Ti)O3 ceramics generate rather low ferroelectric electron emission (FEE) current compared with single crystals such as triglycine sulphate and lithium niobate.

In this paper a simple lattice gas model for the catalytic CO+NO→CO2+1/2N2 surface reaction is studied by means of Monte Carlo simulations. In the simulations we take into consideration the diffusion of all particles and the desorption of CO. The square and triangular lattices are used to model the surface of an ideal…

We use the $N$-point Pad\'e approximant to make the analytic continuation of the dynamic response function. This continuation scheme reproduces very efficiently the plasmon energy dispersion and the dynamic scattering cross section with double peaks for Al. For Si with covalent bondings, the energy-loss function exhib…
