Ferroelectric thin films of bismuth‐containing layered perovskite Bi 4 Ti 3 O 12 have been fabricated by a metalorganic decomposition (MOD) method. Crack‐free and crystalline films of ∼5000 Å thickness have been deposited on Pt/Ti/SiO 2 /Si substrates. Different heat treatments have been studied to investigate the nuc…

A quantitative study of hole-transfer superexchange in Class II mixed-valence complexes is presented. The free energy of resonance exchange was calculated from metal−metal coupling elements derived from Hush and CNS models and compared to experimental values that were factored from the free energy of comproportionatio…

A highly efficient luminescent material is produced from a 2,2′-bipyridine-lanthinide-ion coordination complex. The authors describe how this coordination complex can be stabilized by ethylene glycol oligomers. The material, obtained by simple mixing of the components, emits blue, green, and red photoluminescence by s…

The properties of lead zirconate titanate (PZT) ceramics are determined by the microstructure and chemical homogeneity of Zr, Ti, and dopants within the grains as well as the presence of secondary grain boundary phases. Stoichiometric 53/47 PZT and compositions with 3 mol% PbO excess were prepared by the mixed‐oxide p…

By using α‐ and β‐SiC starting powders with similar particle sizes, the effects of initial α‐phase content on the microstructure and the mechanical properties of the liquid‐phase‐sintered and subsequently annealed materials were investigated. The microstructures developed were analyzed by image analysis. When β‐SiC po…

The acidity and its effects on reactivity of Keggin-type heteropolycompounds were examined by catalytic probe reactions, microcalorimetry of ammonia sorption, and density functional quantum chemical calculations. Phosphotungstic, phosphomolybdic, silicotungstic, and silicomolybdic acids were used as model compounds. T…

Abstract The plasticizing effect of glycerol and the crosslinking effect of formaldehyde and calcium chloride on the mechanical and thermomechanical properties of whey protein-based films were studied. Increased plasticizer content increased the percentage of solubility in water and decreased the mechanical resistance…

Aluminosilicate glasses containing rare-earth and rare-earth analogue cations such as Y 3+ and La 3+ are interesting for a variety of technological applications, as well as for elucidating general principles of glass formation and structure. We present high-resolution 17 O and 27 Al NMR data on a series of lanthanum a…

We probe the structure−dynamics relationship in melts of star polymers with high functionality using small-angle X-ray scattering, rheology, and Monte Carlo computer simulations. These materials represent model steric soft spheres, which order in a liquidlike structure on a macromolecular scale because of the impenetr…

Two poly(propyleneimine) dendrimers bearing up to 32 photoisomerizable azobenzene groups in the periphery have been used as potential hosts for eosin Y (2‘,4‘,5‘,7‘-tetrabromofluorescein dianion). The all- E azobenzene dendrimers can be reversibly switched to their Z form by light excitation. Both the E and Z forms of…

In agreement with previous results reported for colloidal silver clusters, effective surface-enhanced Raman cross sections of about 10- 16 cm 2 per molecule, corresponding to enhancement factors on the order of 10 14 , have also been obtained for molecules attached to colloidal gold clusters. Spatially isolated nearly…

Silica fume (SF) or microsilica is related mainly with preparation of High Resistance Concrete. This has justified its use -together with portland cement (I-42'5/SR,MR) and an superfiuidifying additive- in the preparation of a concrete whose value for compressive mechanical resistance at early ages (only 5 to 10 hours…

The main factors of deterioration that affect the Cathedral of Baeza are of a natural origin, basically thermic and hydraulic. Two types of calcarenite were employed in the construction of the major part of this building: one 'franca" of medium porosity and another "viva" harder and more compact, both extracted from t…
