We study the anchoring mechanism due to substrate-adsorbed ions by examining a related anchoring transition. An analytical solution to the Poisson equation shows that, as their number suffices for a non-negligible anchoring contribution, the surface field is screened over some characteristic microscopic distance. It i…

The dynamic magnetization reversal behavior of polycrystalline ${\mathrm{Ni}}_{80}{\mathrm{Fe}}_{20}$ films (thickness 60 and 200 \AA{}) was studied in the temperature range 90--300 K by applying a magnetic field along the easy magnetization axis of the samples. The loop area A is found to follow the scaling relation…

Cross-correlation techniques have been used successfully to suppress multiple scattering in dynamic light-scattering experiments on turbid samples. This allows dynamic information to be obtained straightforwardly by processing the remaining single scattering. Here we show that cross-correlation techniques can also be…

We present a self-consistent method for deriving moment equations for kinetic models of polymer dynamics. The Doi model [J. Polym. Sci., Polym. Phys. Ed. 19, 229 (1981)] of liquid-crystalline polymers with the Onsager excluded-volume potential is considered as an example. To lowest order, this method amounts to a simp…

This work presents an in situ experimental investigation of the shear-induced coalescence mechanism in low concentration polymer blends (1%–10%). An original sizing method based on small-angle light scattering and optical microscopy were used to determine the evolution of the drop size distributions as a function of t…

The degradation of ferroelectric SrBi2Ta2O9 in an H2-containing reducing atmosphere and its recovery by subsequent annealing in oxygen have been reproduced experimentally by using bulk ceramic samples. SrBi2Ta2O9 decomposes into Bi metal and Sr–Ta oxide(s) in H2 above 300 °C, and the decomposition rate increases as th…

We investigate the effects of inertia on the hydrodynamics in the microscopic vicinity of moving contact lines. These hydrodynamics control the macroscopic shape and spreading of fluid bodies across solid surfaces. We perform experiments at low capillary number (Ca<0.1) and negligible (10−4) to moderate (Re∼1)…

Abstract Stable carboxylate-functionalized silver nanoparticles (1.4 - 5.7 nm in diameter) which can be separated as pure water-redispersible powder are synthesized by the reduction of silver nitrate with sodium borohydride in the presence of mercaptosuccinic acid (MSA) in methanol. The results show that the particle…
