Thin films (9 μm) of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) are irradiated by swift heavy ions (180 MeV Ag14+) in the fluence range 1×1010–1×1012ions/cm2 with an electronic linear energy transfer LET∼11 keV/nm. In sharp contrast to the previous results, the most characteristic crystalline asymmetric and symmetric “CH2” double…

Bi 4 Ti 3 O 12 , (BTO) a Bi-layered perovskite oxide, shows fatigue after repeated ferroelectric polarization reversals. On the other hand, Bi3.25La0.75Ti3O12 (BLT) is fatigue free. From an extensive transmission electron microscopy study, it was found that there is a high density of antiphase boundaries (APBs) in BLT…

The adsorption of potassium on the Cu(111) surface in a 2x2 pattern has been simulated with all-electron full-potential density functional calculations. The top site is found to be the preferred adsorption site, with the other highly symmetric adsorption sites being nearly degenerate. The bond length from potassium to…

When a bidentate ligand L-L is added to the square planar Ni(tmhd)(2) (tmhd = tetramethylhepanedionate), the octahedral complex Ni(tmhd)(2)L-L is formed. This reaction has been studied by vis spectroscopy in toluene at 25 degrees C and in the gas phase between 150 and 350 degrees C. It allows the comparison on one han…

The thermal stability and decomposition products of hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD), a widely used aliphatic brominated flame retardant, were investigated. HBCD thermal degradation was carried out in nitrogen and in air at moderate heating rates (10 °C/min) using thermogravimetric analyzers and a laboratory-scale fixed-…

We have prepared a diluted system of Co 3 O 4 nanocrystals dispersed in nonmagnetic SiO 2 by heating an MCM-41 molecular sieve soaked in 0.075 mol/L CoCl 2 aqueous solution in flowing oxygen at 300 °C for 3 h. Transmission electron microscopy showed that fine particles of about 3 nm exhibiting the (220) and (331) latt…

Based on electronic structure calculations, we have found that noble metal diborides, AgB2 and AuB2, are potential candidates for conventional BCS-type high temperature superconductors. B 2p density of states dominates at the Fermi level in comparison with Ag 4d and Au 5d states. Furthermore, the electron-phonon coupl…

The influence of polydispersity on liquid-crystalline ordering in anisotropic polymer brushes is considered. It is shown that mixing of long and short chains in a brush inhibits LC ordering of long chains; LC ordering is influenced by details of the inner structure of a brush rather than by its global average characte…

Research on diblock copolymer thin films has been devoted primarily toward understanding and controlling microstructural and topographical features at temperatures below the order–disorder transition (ODT), where ordered phase separated structures exist. Recently, we showed that the topography of thin liquid diblock f…

β zeolites have been characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Owing to the small crystallite size (20 nm), nearly 90% of the Si and Al content can be estimated from the Si 2p and Al 2p peaks. The chemical state of Al was established by decomposition of the Al KLL Auger transition. Three types of Al cou…

The kinetics of the catalytic reduction of NO by CO on Rh(111) was simulated by using a lattice-gas model and a Monte Carlo algorithm. These simulations were designed to incorporate some new experimental results, which reveal that the formation of a N–NO intermediate is necessary for molecular nitrogen production. The…
