Variations of optical absorption and especially of photoluminescence spectra of Cu 2 O with photoexcitation wavelength and temperature have been for the first time investigated in details. We have newly observed that the relation of the increase and decrease with temperature in the integrated intensity is complementar…
We study the lattice distortion in graphite ribbons of a nanometer width by taking account of the electron-phonon interaction in the tight binding model. In the ribbons with armchair edges, the typical Kekulé structure appears near the edges depending on the distribution of the bond orders. On the other hand, the zigz…
A model for the inelastic-scattering cross section of electrons in XPS experiments is presented. The calculation is analogous to a previous model for reflection-electron energy-loss spectroscopy by Yubero et al. [Phys. Rev. B 53, 9719 (1996)]. The model treats the general case of photoelectron creation at arbitrary de…
A new method for the determination of the interfacial tension coefficient between two immiscible fluids is proposed. The method is particularly useful for the binary polymer blends. The deformed drop retraction method, DDRM, makes it possible to determine the dynamic interfacial tension coefficient, ν, from the time e…
This article reports the fabrication of thin films of In2O3 from an aqueous sol and an organic solution. The stability of the aqueous sol with respect to the concentration of indium and pH are discussed. Thermo-gravimetric and differential thermal analysis were performed on the dried sol particles as well as the gel f…
We have studied the effects of hole doping on the electronic structure of La${}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}$Sr${}_{x}$CoO${}_{3}$ by photoemission and x-ray-absorption spectroscopy. The Co 2$p$ core-level and the valence-band spectra show charge-transfer satellites, which have been more obviously observed in 3$p$-3$d$ resonant…
Fragmentation tests in the uniaxial mode were performed on poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) films coated with a 100 nm thin silicon oxide layer. The coating's fragmentation process was analyzed in light of the mechanical behavior of the polymer substrate. It was shown that, upon unloading samples strained to less th…
In this paper we report the results of an extensive investigation of the La${}_{0.7}{\mathrm{Ca}}_{0.3}{\mathrm{Mn}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}{\mathrm{Co}}_{x}{\mathrm{O}}_{3}$ system. Substitution of Mn by Co dilutes the double-exchange (DE) mechanism and changes the long range ferromagnetic order of ${\mathrm{La}}_{0.7}{\m…
In spite of the enormous amount of theoretical and experimental work on conducting polymers, the actual mechanism involved in the transition to a metallic regime is still an open and polemical question. Recently, Galv\~ao et al. have proposed, based on the study of long, disordered, one-dimensional chains, that disord…
For the last two decades, mixtures of D- and L-lactides, the DD and LL cyclic dimers of lactic acid enantiomers, were polymerized under various conditions of temperature, time, and initiators. Consequences of the dimeric structure of lactide molecules on the distribution of chiral units and on the properties of result…
We investigate the physics of the core reconstruction and associated structural excitations (reconstruction defects and kinks) of dislocations in silicon, using a linear-scaling density-matrix technique. The two predominant dislocations (the 90-degree and 30-degree partials) are examined, focusing for the 90-degree ca…
We have carried out first-principles total-energy calculations of (001) surfaces of the tetragonal and cubic phases of BaTiO${}_{3}$. Both BaO-terminated (type I) and TiO${}_{2}$-terminated (type II) surfaces are considered, and the atomic configurations have been fully relaxed. We found no deep-gap surface states for…
The paper reports a possible application of AgInSe_2 for opto-electronic switching. Material has been studied over a wide range of frequencies (5Hz to 1MHz), through measurements of conductance and capacitance, at different temperatures and illumination levels. The results indicate that there is an increase in capacit…
Compressed disks made from graphite and, its mechanical but not electrical isomorph, boron nitride as well as graphite-boron nitride powders, undergoing compression, are nearly ideal continuum percolation systems, as the ratio of their conductivities is nearly ${10}^{\ensuremath{-}18}$ and the scatter of the experimen…
Nanocrystalline TiC/amorphous carbon (a-C) composite films were synthesized at near room temperature with a hybrid process combining laser ablation of graphite and magnetron sputtering of titanium. Film microstructure was investigated by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction analyses, and transmission el…
Experimental Ti $K$-edge x-ray-absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectra for a variety of Ti(IV)-bearing crystalline oxide model compounds are compared with those calculated using the ab initio multiple-scattering code FEFF7. A scattering-theoretic interpretation of various features in the experimental spectra, i…
The analytical formula, derived by Iglesias-Groth et al for the interaction energy between shells of spherical carbon onions using the surface continuum approximation, is shown to be in very good agreement with the numerical values obtained by Lu and Yang from the discrete summation over the van der Waals Lennard-Jone…
We have expressed the catalytic domain of Chinese hamster HMG-CoA reductase, and 13 point mutations involving the region around the single phosphorylation site for AMP-activated protein kinase. After phosphorylation, these were used to test the specificity of isoforms of protein phosphatase-2A [bovine PP2A(C) (catalyt…
Energy distributions of fast secondary electrons ejected from Cu and Si bombarded by positrons of energies in the range 50 to 2000 eV, incident at glancing angles $(\ensuremath{\le}5\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{})$ and at $35\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}$, have been fit to the form ${\mathrm{AE}}^{\ensurema…
Two aerogel systems containing a ferroelectric liquid crystal (FLC) with smectic phases over a wider temperature range are investigated using dielectric spectroscopy. The second order transition from Sm-A to $\mathrm{Sm}\ensuremath{-}{C}^{*}$ is considerably broadened and the collective modes are detected for the FLC…
