The present work compares the efficiency of different polymerization methods to design well-defined comb-shaped structures based on macro monomers. Anionic polymerization remains the method of choice and allows the control of polymerization degree of the main chain and the length of the grafts. The presence of an acti…

Some new experimental results illustrating the effect of deep traps on luminescent and dosimetric properties of anion-defective single crystals of alpha-Al2O3 have been described. It was found that deep traps had an electronic origin. They were filled thanks to the photoionisation of F-centres and their filling was ac…

This study demonstrates that the plane-strain Young's moduli E* = E/(1 - v 2) of natural diamonds with a weight of less than 0.2 carat can be determined by the technique of nanoindentation, where E is Young's modulus and v is Poisson's ratio. The indentation test with a Berkovich indenter was conducted at loads of 50,…

The main dosimetric properties are reported of a new perovskite, LiMgF3, doped with Ce, Er and Dy impurities. An annealing temperature of 400 degrees C for one hour is necessary to erase any previous signal and to stabilise its sensitivity. A readout up to 450 degrees C gives the same result. The glow curve structure…
