Abstract Crosslinked 1‐octene‐isodecyl acrylate copolymers were synthesized and evaluated for oil‐absorbency applications. The copolymer was crosslinked at different concentrations of ethylene glycol diacrylate (EGDA) and EG dimethacrylate (EGDMA) crosslinkers via catalytic initiation or by electron‐beam irradiation a…

A one-dimensional chain of interconnected single-molecule magnets (SMMs) is obtained that consists of [Mn(4)(hmp)(6)](4+) units bridged by chloride ions. Slow magnetization relaxation is evident in the AC susceptibility data and in magnetization hysteresis measurements for [Mn(4)(hmp)(6)Cl(2)](n)(ClO(4))(2)(n). The ma…

Cross-linked polymer networks, irrespective of the method of cross-linking, contain a fraction of unattached polymer (sol macromolecules). During swelling in a solvent of low molecular weight, the sol macromolecules participate in the swelling process as an athermal solvent. Also, sol macromolecules begin to diffuse o…

Abstract Racemic copolymers of polylactic acid were investigated to determine the effect of copolymer ratio on melting point, degree of crystallinity, mechanical properties, and processing behavior. The copolymer ratio was found to have a strong influence on the crystallization behavior of the polymer. In addition to…

This paper investigates correlation properties of fluctuations in fatigue crack growth of polycrystalline materials, such as ductile alloys, that are commonly encountered in structures and machinery components of complex electromechanical systems. The model of crack damage measure indicates that the fluctuations of fa…

Transmission of information using the spin of the electron as well as its charge requires a high degree of spin polarization at surfaces. At surfaces however this degree of polarization can be quenched by competing interactions. Using a combination of surface sensitive x-ray and tunneling probes, we show for the quasi…

Brillouin scattering studies have been carried out on high quality single crystals of Fe$_3$O$_4$ with [100] and [110] faces in the temperature range of 300 to 30 K. The room temperature spectrum shows a surface Rayleigh wave (SRW) mode at 8 GHz and a longitudinal acoustic (LA) mode at 60 GHz. The SRW mode frequency s…

Abstract The synthesis of PbSe/PbS and PbSe/PbSe x S 1– x core/shell nanocrystals (NCs) with luminescence quantum efficiencies of 45–55 % is reported. PbSe/PbS NCs are prepared via a two‐stage process, while the PbSe/PbSe x S 1– x NCs are formed in a single‐stage procedure. The core/shell NCs exhibit an energy tuning…

Direct observation of individual defects during formation and annihilation in the interlayer gap of double-wall carbon nanotubes (DWNT) is demonstrated by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. The interlayer defects that bridge two adjacent graphen layers in DWNT are stable for a macroscopic time at the te…

This letter reports on the measurements of the in-plane thermal conductivity and the electrical conductivity of a microfabricated, suspended, nanosized platinum thin film with the width of 260nm, the thickness of 28nm, and the length of 5.3μm. The experimental results show that the electrical conductivity, the resista…

We apply the envelope function approach to abrupt heterostructures starting with the least action principle for the microscopic wave function. The interface is treated nonperturbatively, and our approach is applicable to mismatched heterostructure. We obtain the interface connection rules for the multiband envelope fu…

Lanthanide metals are a particular class of magnetic materials in which the magnetic moments are carried mainly by the localized electrons of the 4f shell. They are frequently found in technically relevant systems, to achieve, e.g., high magnetic anisotropy. Magneto-optical methods in the x-ray range are well suited t…

Polarized Fourier-Raman spectra of K, Rb and Tl hydrogen phthalates are studied at the 1064 nm excitation. The frequencies of internal vibrations in hydrogen phthalates are assigned to vibrations of orthophenylene and carboxyl groups. A substitution of K for Rb and Tl gave rise to a small low-frequency shift of vibrat…

The mesosocpic concept is applied to the theory of mixtures. The aim is to investigate the diffusion phenomenon from a mesoscopic point of view. The domain of the field quantities is extended by the set of mesoscopic variables, here the velocities of the components. Balance equations on this enlarged space are the equ…

A new quantum action-based theory, Dynamic Quantized Fracture Mechanics (DQFM), is presented that modifies continuum-based dynamic fracture mechanics. The crack propagation is assumed as quantized in both space and time. The static limit case corresponds to Quantized Fracture Mechanics (QFM), that we have recently dev…

The magnetic-field dependence of many-body states in quantum dots can be tailored by controlling the mixing of various angular momenta. In lateral quantum dots -- defined electrostatically in a two-dimensional electron gas -- this mixing can be accomplished by introducing anisotropies in the confinement potential, the…
