Abstract BACKGROUND: Numerous works have been published on the chemical modification of chitosan; this polymer is still being modified, leading to various derivatives with improved properties. In the present study, heterocyclic aldehydes including furan‐2‐carbaldehyde, 5‐methylfuran‐2‐carbaldehyde, 3‐pyridine carboxya…

Dendrimers are synthetic, symmetrically branched polymers that can be manufactured to a high degree of definition and therefore present themselves as monodisperse entities. Flexible and globular in shape and compartementalized into a partly inaccessible interior and a highly exposed surface, they offer numerous possib…

Four new cardenolide monoglycosides, cardenolides N-1 (1), N-2 (2), N-3 (3), and N-4 (4), were isolated from Nerium oleander, together with two known cardenolides, 5 and 12, and seven cardenolide monoglycosides, 6-11 and 13. The structures of compounds 1-4 were established on the basis of their spectroscopic data. The…

We report the synthesis and characterization of a novel mesoporous material with a face-centered cubic (fcc) symmetry and intrinsic bimodal pores. Moreover, an icosahedral (ICO) mesostructure with both meso- and macroscale 5-fold symmetry is observed. We propose a hard-sphere packing (HSP) mechanism for the formation…

Abstract Proton‐conducting solid oxide fuel cells (H‐SOFC), using a proton‐conducting electrolyte, potentially have higher maximum energy efficiency than conventional oxygen‐ion‐conducting solid oxide fuel cells (O‐SOFC). It is important to theoretically study the current–voltage ( J – V ) characteristics in detail in…

A solution route toward multinary nitrides was demonstrated in the synthesis of Eu-doped CaAlSiN3. During a metal−ammonometallate−nitride conversion in the ammonia system, the nitride crystallized into red-emitting nanocrystals at temperatures up to only 800 °C, i.e., 1000 °C lower than the previous method.

Pb(Zn(1/3)Nb(2/3))O3-xPbTiO(3) (x=4.5%-12%) relaxor ferroelectric crystals have been studied by means of acoustic emission (AE) in the 400-540 K temperature range. An anomalous AE activity independent of the ground state relaxor/morphotropic/ferroelectric crossover has been revealed at around 500 K, and it is associat…

We reexamine the Herzberg-Teller theory of charge-transfer contributions to the theory of surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). In previous work, the Kramers-Heisenberg-Dirac framework was utilized to explain many of the observed features in SERS. However, recent experimental and theoretical developments suggest t…

Abstract Series of composites consisting of polypyrrole/montmorillonite nanocomposites in the matrix of Nylon6 has been synthesized and characterized in this work. The composites were processable, so that test samples were prepared by compression‐molding of the materials for electrical property measurements. Intercala…

We present a continuum theory to describe elastically induced phase transitions between coherent solid phases. In the limit of vanishing elastic constants in one of the phases, the model can be used to describe fracture on the basis of the late stage of the Asaro-Tiller-Grinfeld instability. Starting from a sharp inte…

We consider the distribution of an electric field in YBCO-coated conductors for a situation in which the DC transport current is forced into the copper stabilizer due to a weak link -- a section of the superconducting film with a critical current less than the transport current. The electric field in the metal substra…

Connecting lumped circuit elements in a conventional circuit is usually accomplished by conducting wires that act as conduits for the conduction currents with negligible potential drops. More challenging, however, is to extend these concepts to optical nanocircuit elements. Here, following our recent development of op…

The release of a gas limited by surface desorption, or by diffusion from the bulk of spherical pebbles is revisited. A method is proposed to identify the release limiting process, by comparing a partial temperature ramp, up to slightly beyond the release peak, followed by a rapid temperature drop, to a second, full re…

Coherent oscillations associated with spin precessions were observed in ultrafast optical experiments on ferromagnetic (Ga,Mn)As films. Using a complete theoretical description of the processes by which light couples to the magnetization, values for the anisotropy constants and the spin stiffness were unambiguously de…

Alkali halide (100) crystal surfaces are poorly wetted by their own melt at the triple point. We carried out simulations for NaCl(100) within the well tested BMHFT model potential. Calculations of the solid-vapor, solid-liquid and liquid-vapor free energies showed that solid NaCl(100) is a non-melting surface, and exp…

With paying special attention to the divergence in the compressibility $κ$, we study the Coulombic screening in alkali metals to find singular long-range fluctuations in the electronic polarization originating from this divergence. As a consequence of this singularity, we predict the decrease of the equilibration dist…

Iron, cobalt and nickel nanoparticles, grown in the gas phase, are known to arrange in chains and bracelet-like rings due to the long-range dipolar interaction between the ferromagnetic (or super-paramagnetic) particles. We investigate the dynamics and thermodynamics of such magnetic dipolar nanoparticles for low dens…

We studied the circular polarization and angular dependences of the magneto-photoluminescence spectra of the free A-exciton 1S state in wurtzite ZnO at T = 5 K. The circular polarization properties of the spectra clearly indicate that the top valence band has Gamma_7 symmetry. The out-of-plane component of the magneti…
