Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) have been first coated with cobalt ferrites by a simple wet method. Transmission electron microscopy images show that ferrite nanoparticles (average diameter of 10 nm) were deposited on the sidewall of the MWCNTs. X-ray diffraction pattern exhibits representative diffraction peaks…

Electromagnetic chirality-induced negative refraction in a four-level atomic medium is investigated by initially preparing coherent states of the atom. We show that the negative refraction can be carried out with deeply depressing absorption and without simultaneously requiring both negative electric permittivity and…

Flexible polymers crystallize with chain folding, which shows a unique phenomenon called self-poisoning. As a result, minima in crystal growth rates of strictly monodisperse short-chain polymers are observed near the temperatures of transitions from extended-chain to once-folded-chain growth, from once-folded to twice…

We show that the aging of the mechanical relaxation of a gelatin gel exhibits the same scaling phenomenology as polymer and colloidal glasses. In addition, gelatin is known to exhibit logarithmic structural aging (stiffening). We find that stress accelerates this process. However, this effect is definitely irreducible…
