We have investigated transport properties across interfaces between the conducting ferromagnetic oxides SrRuO3, La0.5Sr0.5CoO3, La0.67Sr0.33MnO3, and the metals Nb, Al, Pd, and Au. The interface resistances range from smaller than 10−8 to 102 Ω cm2, depending on the choice of ferromagnetic oxide and metal. The three c…

In this letter, we report the results obtained on polycrystalline silicon thin films using Raman spectrometry in resonance with the silicon direct band gap. First, we show that accurate information about crystallites can be obtained in these experimental conditions, without any deconvolution of Raman spectra. Second,…

Ethanol is known to form two different kinds of glassy state, namely a structural glass and a glassy crystal, both showing the same glass transition temperature . The molecular dynamics in the different phases (supercooled liquid/plastic crystal) and during the corresponding phase transition is studied by dielectric s…

We have investigated the effect of substrate temperature on the growth rate and properties of nanocrystalline diamond thin films prepared by microwave plasma-assisted chemical vapor deposition on (100) Si from a 1% methane (CH4) precursor in argon (Ar). In previous work we have shown that the carbon dimer C2 is the do…

During the later stages of plastic deformation, strain hardening of face-centered cubic metals goes along with the formation of cellular dislocation patterns appearing on various scales. The paper presents an analysis of the fractal geometry of these dislocation structures. A theoretical model is presented according t…

We study the phase behavior of a charged two-dimensional colloidal system in the presence of a periodic light field composed of two interfering laser beams. Above a certain light intensity, the light field initiates a liquid-solid transition. This effect is known as light-induced freezing. When the light field is incr…

Recent developments in off-lattice self-consistent-field theories for inhomogeneous complex fluids are reviewed. Particular emphasis is given to the treatment of intermolecular interactions and compressibility, to the role of fluctuations, and to the discussion of the coarse-graining length which is inherent to the th…

Using a recently developed algorithm for generic rigidity of two-dimensional graphs, we analyze rigidity and connectivity percolation transitions in two dimensions on lattices of linear size up to L=4096. We compare three different universality classes: The generic rigidity class; the connectivity class and; the gener…

A theoretical study is given of a new type of optical vortex in nonlinear anisotropic media. This is called an ``optical spin vortex'', which is realized as a special solution of the two-component non-linear Schrödinger equation. The existence of spin vortex is inherent in the spin texture that is caused by the anisot…

A variational formulation of the time-dependent linear response based on the Sternheimer method is developed in order to make practical ab initio calculations of dynamical spin susceptibilities of solids. Using gradient density functional and a muffin-tin-orbital representation, the efficiency of the approach is demon…

The density of states in the vicinity of the Fermi level of single-wall carbon nanotubes can be expressed in terms of a universal relationship that depends only on whether the nanotube is metallic or semiconducting. We compare the predictions of this approximate relationship with densities of states calculated using f…

While bulk crystallization from impure solutions is used industrially as a purification step for a wide variety of materials, it is a technique that has rarely been used for proteins. Proteins have a reputation for being difficult to crystallize and high purity of the initial crystallization solution is considered par…

The crystallization, melting behavior, and morphology of a low ethylene content block propylene–ethylene copolymer (BPP) and a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) blend were studied. It was found that the existence of ethylene–propylene rubber (EPR) in BPP has more influence on the crystallization of HDPE than on that of…
