Whether or not a large ferroelectric polarization P exists in the orthorhombic HoMnO 3 with E -type antiferromagnetic spin ordering remains one of the unresolved, challenging issues in the physics of multiferroics. The issue is closely linked to an intriguing experimental difficulty in determining the P of polycrystal…
Abstract The synthesis of transition‐metal and rare‐earth clusters has become a very active research field, mainly because these compounds can behave as molecule‐based magnets. The formation of such compounds strongly depends on the choice of the bridging ligand. This review covers the progress made by pyrazole‐based…
Trimerization-polarization domains in ferroelectric hexagonal YMnO3 were resolved in all three spatial dimensions by piezoresponse force microscopy. Their topology is dominated by electrostatic effects with a range of 100 unit cells and reflects the unusual electrostatic origin of the spontaneous polarization. The res…
Atomic resolution imaging is demonstrated using a hybrid scanning tunneling/near-field microwave microscope (microwave-STM). The microwave channels of the microscope correspond to the resonant frequency and quality factor of a coaxial microwave resonator, which is built in to the STM scan head and coupled to the probe…
A theory of thermotropic nematic liquid crystals in which molecules form internally ordered clusters is presented. The formulation is based on the same molecular-field approximation and form of the anisotropic potential used in the Maier–Saupe theory. One uniaxial nematic and two macroscopically isotropic phases are p…
We propose an analytical model to predict the adhesives penetration into hard wood. Penetration of hard wood is dominated by the vessel network which prohibits porous medium approximations. Our model considers two scales: a one dimensional capillary fluid transport of a hardening adhesive through a single, straight ve…
A study with synchrotron radiation X-ray tomographic microscopy (SRXTM) of PUR, PVAC, and UF adhesive bond lines in beech wood, bonded under various growth ring angles is presented. After determining the hardening characteristics of the adhesives, we evaluate the bond line morphologies, and the adhesive penetration in…
Electronic excitations in a ferromagnet can trigger ultrafast spin dynamics with potential applications in a speed increase in magnetic recording. The project investigates ultrafast magnetization dynamics, which is driven in metallic layers by ballistic hot electrons. In a ferromagnet these electrons induce a change i…
The alloy Ni45Co5Mn40Sn10 is shown to be singular relative to nearby alloys in three following ways: (1) The austenite has remarkably high magnetization (1170 emu/cm3) and low magnetic anisotropy. (2) The thermal hysteresis is near minimum. (3) The transformation temperature ∼135 °C is unusually high. Because the unus…
Due to their extraordinary mechanical and biochemical properties, silks have long been in focus of research. In vivo, fibers are formed from silk proteins, in vitro, however, a variety of materials can be produced in addition to fibers including capsules, particles, films, foams, and gels. The versatility of silk prot…
We have grown nitrogen-doped MgxZn1−xO:N films on Zn-polar ZnO single crystal substrates by molecular beam epitaxy. As N-sources, we employed NO-plasma or NH3 gas itself. As x increased, optimum growth temperature window for smooth film morphology shifted to higher temperatures, while maintaining high N-concentration…
We report here the synthesis of naked magnetic nanoparticles by using a facile method. Magnetic nanoparticles were prepared by mixing and stirring two equivalents of iron(II) chloride tetrahydrate with three equivalents of iron(III) chloride hexahydrate at room temperature. The mixture was treated by adding 100 ml of…
A straightforward method has been developed to generate silica nanocapsules containing Ag/Au alloy nanoparticles (Ag/Au@silica) by in-situ galvanic replacement reaction between the silica-coated silver (Ag@silica) nanoparticles with aqueous chloroauric acid (HAuCl4). Ag/Au@silica exhibits an optical absorbance derived…
Using first-principles calculations, we systematically study the atomic structures and electronic properties for two dimensional triangular ZnO nanoislands that are graphite-like with monolayer and bilayer thickness. We find that the monolayer ZnO nanoisland with oxygen-terminated zigzag-edges is magnetic at its groun…
A directed self assembly of anisotropic nanostructures offers a possibility to provide unique functional materials, which are e.g., important in optoelectronic devices. We use the liquid crystalline behavior of polymer functionalized TiO2 and ZnO nanorods to apply methods well known for low molecular liquid crystals t…
Polyelectrolyte multilayers comprised of poly(allylamine hydrochloride) and poly(acrylic acid) were assembled by layer-by-layer technique for metal nanoparticle syntheses. Using weak polyelectrolytes in LbL process, it is readily available to tune the deposited film properties by simple changing of the dipping solutio…

A diarylethene substituted with 3,4-(propane-1,3-diyldioxy)thiophene (ProDOT) was synthesized to induce electrochemical deposition of diarylethenes. The ProDOT substituted diarylethene (BTFPP) showed reversible photochromism from colorless to purple upon exposure to a UV light and bleached to colorless by a visibly li…
Four kinds of cinnamate-type monomers were synthesized as healing agents. Photoirradiation of the monomers gave cyclobutane-containing crosslinked polymers via [2+2] cycloaddition. Cyclobutane cleavage upon cracking of the crosslinked polymers and re-cycloaddition of the cracked polymers were investigated by FT-IR spe…
This article quantifies the effect of the operating pressure of the H2 + C2H4 gas mixture on the current density and threshold voltage of the electron emission from dense forests of multiwalled carbon nanotubes synthesized using thermal catalytic Chemical Vapor Deposition under near atmospheric pressure process condit…
