${\mathrm{CoS}}_{2}$ has recently been predicted to be highly spin-polarized, but very little is known about its magnetotransport properties. We find that this system exhibits a large anomaly in the resistivity at the Curie temperature ${(T}_{C}),$ which shows a pronounced shift with applied field, resulting in negati…

Dielectric loss spectra at both ambient and elevated pressure are presented for propylene glycol (PG), dipropylene glycol, and tripropylene glycol. While in previous literature the excess wing (EW) was observed only for PG, we show herein that under high pressure an EW (coexistent with a secondary \ensuremath{\beta} r…

We have investigated the electronic structure of Zn1−xMxO (M: 3d transition metal) by x-ray absorption spectroscopy. Using configuration–interaction cluster-model analyses, electronic structure parameters have been deduced and their chemical trend is discussed. Results show that the p–d exchange constant Nβ is negativ…

Defect-mediated diffusion and viscous flow of network forming liquids have been investigated. An analytical formula of viscosity has been derived with two-exponential forms demonstrating high activation energy at low temperatures and low activation energy at high temperatures with Arrhenius-type behavior for both high…

We demonstrate the possibility of a selective nonequilibrium cap opening of carbon nanotubes as a response to femtosecond laser excitation. By performing molecular dynamics simulations based on a microscopic electronic model we show that the laser-induced ultrafast structural changes differ dramatically from the therm…

Incoherent quasi-elastic neutron scattering (IQENS) and Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) absorption measurements have been employed to investigate the diffusional and vibrational dynamics on water confined in a NaA zeolitic matrix. In analogy with the results of a recent quasi-elastic neutron scattering experiment o…

Formation of singlet oxygen in solution by using Si nanocrystals as photosensitizers has been demonstrated. It has been shown that the absorption band of 1,3-diphenylisobenzofuran (DPBF) in benzene centered at 416 nm decreases by irradiating green (514.5 nm) or red (632.8 nm) light if fresh porous Si powder is dispers…

The morphologies of iPP fiber/matrix homogeneity composites were studied on a lamellar level with the help of a field emission scanning electron microscope. It is found that the induced supermolecular structure of iPP depends strongly upon the fiber introduction temperature. At temperatures lower than 164 °C, no melti…

The forced silking of a spider to obtain major ampullate (MA) silk for experiments is a standard practice; however, this method may have profound effects on the resulting silk's properties. Experiments were performed to determine the magnitude of the difference in the forces required to draw silk from the MA gland bet…
