A new soft chemistry route has been developed for the synthesis of relaxor ferroelectric lead magnesium niobate−lead titanate solid solution (0.65PMN−0.35PT). The method uses a poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and methanol mixture as solvent. It allows reactions to be performed at room temperature without using an excess a…

We have investigated, in the framework of the proximity effect theory, the interface transparency between Nb and Cu in the case of high quality Nb/Cu trilayers fabricated by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) and sputtering deposition techniques. The obtained values do not seem to be strongly influenced by the fabrication m…

We report the spontaneous, in-situ synthesis of gold nanoparticles within onion-type multilamellar vesicles (MLV) using a simple and mild strategy. Monoolein, one of the MLV components, was used as reductant, without any additional chemical. Two different preparative pathways were employed that resulted in gold partic…

Monolayer hydrodynamics are usually described in terms of a Newtonian constitutive relationship. However, this macroscopic view fails to account for small-scale coexisting phase domains, which are generally present in the monolayer and appear to have profound macroscopic effects. Here, we provide direct evidence of th…

Abstract In a previous paper we found that the cofacial intermolecular π–π orbital interaction in stacking dimers significantly changes the longitudinal second hyperpolarizability (γ) of the isolated monomer. On the basis of this result, we investigate the longitudinal γ values of π‐conjugated main chains (C n H n +2…

High-temperature molecular dynamics simulations were used to gain insight into the early steps in the unfolding pathway of azurin, a blue copper protein with a beta-barrel structure formed by two sheets arranged in a Greek key folding topology. The results reveal that unfolding of the beta-barrel in azurin is associat…

A theoretical investigation of the structure, magnetism and thermal conductivity of LaMn 1− x Ga x O 3 has been made. A local, cluster model is introduced. It is proposed that gallium substitution may cause neighbouring Mn 3+ (3 x 2 − r 2 )/(3 y 2 − r 2 ) orbitals to transform into the 3 z 2 − r 2 state. This unique i…

Ringing the changes: Complexes of azamacrocycles were used for the template synthesis of extraordinary new cyclic and acyclic chromium–nickel chains, which include the “S”-shaped cluster shown (see picture) obtained when a cyclen-based template is used. The results suggest a new method for making sophisticated polymet…

Magnetic-field-induced reorientation of nematic liquid crystals on polymer layers is studied near the glass transition temperature of the polymer. Kinetic curves for different field strengths and temperatures are presented. A model is developed which takes into account the structural rearrangements in the polymer indu…

This Minireview considers the key factors that govern the organization of macroscopic polarization in nonlinear optical systems obtained by electric poling of organic dipolar chromophores dissolved in polymer matrices. The macroscopic electric polarization depends on the thermodynamic state of the dipole system. The d…

The glass transition, a relaxation phenomenon, sets the low temperature limit to the liquid state. Glassy water that forms only under extreme quenching conditions is unstable against crystallization. Opinions differ on whether the glass transition can be observed at all. Here we measure the dielectric $\mathrm{tan}\e…

Manganese magnets: Trimethylammonio groups appended to the surface of a Mn12 single-molecule magnet lead to a highly charged magnetic cluster that behaves as an electron reservoir. This cluster spontaneously forms its two-electron reduced species which has a ground spin state S=11. The cluster is a precursor for the s…

Abstract Chemisorption of the oxygen molecule on the (100) surface of γ‐uranium was investigated using the generalized gradient approximation to Density Functional Theory. Dissociative adsorptions of O 2 are found to be significantly favored compared to molecular adsorptions. Interstitial adsorptions of molecular oxyg…

We demonstrate here the single-atom migration of Tb, Gd, or Ce metal from cage to cage through an intentionally induced atomic path within a carbon nanopeapod. The atomic path is actually an atomic defect (vacancy) induced at the fullerene cage during TEM observation. It is therefore proved that the atomic cage can be…
