The AC impedance response of mixed ionic and electronic conductors (MIECs) exposed to a chemical potential gradient is derived from first principles. In such a system, the chemical potential gradient induces a gradient in the carrier concentration. For the particular system considered, 15% samarium doped ceria (SDC15)…

The X-ray structure determination of [L2Cu2Gd2(NO3)6(H2O)2](0.5H2O) (L = bis-[(2-hydroxy-3-ethoxyphenyl)methylene]-4,4′-methylenedianiline) confirms the existence of a tetranuclear double-stranded homotopic and unsaturated helicate. In each Cu–Gd pair, the reduced Cu⋯Gd distance allows ferromagnetic Cu–Gd superexchang…

The investigation of the ordered oxygen-deficient perovskites LnBaCo 2 O 5.50+δ with Ln = Eu and Sm shows that a small deviation from the “O 5.50 ” stoichiometry influences dramatically the magnetic properties of this structural type. Three ferromagnetic (FM) states can be obtained, depending on the oxygen content, δ.…

The propagation of electromagnetic plane waves in an isotropic chiral medium is characterized, and a special interest is shown in chiral nihility and the effects of chirality on energy transmission. In particular, the wave impedance is matched to that of free space. Moreover, the refractive index n is also matched in…

The barrier imposed by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria presents a significant challenge in treatment of these organisms with otherwise effective hydrophobic antibiotics. The absence of L-glycero-D-manno-heptose in the LPS molecule is associated with a dramatically increased bac…
