This paper discusses the isothermal pressure behaviour of the relaxation times for supercooled glass-forming liquids. Analysis based on reference data and the authors' measurements of dielectric relaxation is carried out for both strong and fragile glass formers. All of the experimental relaxation times clearly exhibi…
The energy distribution of the secondary electrons for chemical vacuum deposited diamond films with negative electron affinity (NEA) was investigated. It was found that while for completely hydrogenated diamond surfaces the negative electron affinity peak in the energy spectrum of the secondary electrons is present fo…
We address the role of the local disorder created by substitutional ions in L2/3A1/3MnO3 oxides, on the pressure dependence of the Curie temperature dln TC/dP. A number of manganites having distinct averaged lanthanide R0 radii and size variance σ2 have been prepared and their resistivity measured up to 11 kbar. It is…
Symmetric superlattice structures consisting of alternating atomic-scale layers of KTaO3 and KNbO3 with variable periodicity were grown on KTaO3 substrates by pulsed laser deposition. The in-plane structure of KNbO3 closely matches that of the KTaO3 substrate, resulting in KTaO3/KNbO3 heterostructures that are uniform…
A sonochemical procedure for the preparation of cadmium sulfide (CdS) nanoparticles coated on submicron spherical silica particles has been described. Ultrasonic irradiation of a slurry of silica microspheres, cadmium sulfate, and thiourea in an aqueous medium for 3 h under ambient air yields cadmium sulfide–silica (C…
Liquid ${\mathrm{Zr}}_{46.8}{\mathrm{Ti}}_{8.2}{\mathrm{Cu}}_{7.5}{\mathrm{Ni}}_{10}{\mathrm{Be}}_{27.5}$ has been studied by quasielastic neutron scattering. The microscopic dynamics of this bulk glass forming alloy deviates qualitatively from simple metallic liquids; it shows two-step structural relaxation like othe…
Intriguing association behavior in solution is exhibited by the rigid macrocycle 1. For instance, it reacts with organic cations to give ternary complexes of the composition (1⋅cation)⋅1, and with analogous macrocycles without cyano groups it forms heteroaggregates. R=CO2C8H17.
Direct formation of surface relief gratings at modest intensities on azobenzene polymers has recently been accomplished. Unusual optical erasure of these surface relief gratings was observed. It is found that the optical erasure is dependent on the polarization state of the erasing beam as well as that of the recordin…
An anion is encapsulated in the center of the new cage compound [Ni6(atu)8X]X3 (X=Cl—for the structure see picture—or Br; Hatu=amidinothiourea). A combination of Lewis acid–base and hydrogen-bonding interactions cause the square-planar [Ni(Hatu)2]2+ units, after deprotonation, to assemble to form this compound. A rema…
The topography of the Landau free energy surface of a diblock copolymer melt is found to exhibit a low-energy pathway connecting the local minima of the cylinder (C) and gyroid (G) mesophases. Energy barriers and stability limits are accurately evaluated for experimentally relevant conditions, and they imply that the…
Manganese(II) complexes of imidazolyl-substituted chelating nitronylnitroxides are characterized by a stereoselective arrangement of the metal centers and the ligands to give a honeycomblike layer structure (shown on the right). The magnetic properties at high temperature indicate the presence of a ferrimagnetic struc…
Si nanocrystals (diameter 2–5 nm) were formed by 35 keV Si+ implantation at a fluence of 6×1016 Si/cm2 into a 100 nm thick thermally grown SiO2 film on Si (100), followed by thermal annealing at 1100 °C for 10 min. The nanocrystals show a broad photoluminescence spectrum, peaking at 880 nm, attributed to the recombina…
A highly enriched spindle pole preparation was prepared from budding yeast and fractionated by SDS gel electrophoresis. Forty-five of the gel bands that appeared enriched in this fraction were analyzed by high-mass accuracy matrix-assisted laser desorption/ ionization (MALDI) peptide mass mapping combined with sequenc…
We have proposed new algorithms for the numerical integration of the equations of motion for classical spin systems. In close analogy to symplectic integrators for Hamiltonian equations of motion used in Molecular Dynamics these algorithms are based on the Suzuki-Trotter decomposition of exponential operators and unli…
The largest inorganic molecular system so far, [(MoO3)176(H2O)80H32] (1; the picture on the right shows the polyhedral representation), which has been characterized by X-ray structure analysis, possesses a cavity of diameter 2.3 nm and remarkably shows the stoichiometry of a (reduced) protonated and hydrated “molecula…
Environmentally friendly oxidizing agents such as hydrogen peroxide or dioxygen can be used today in catalytic versions of the almost one century old Baeyer-Villiger oxidation with transition metal complexes as catalysts. On the right is a sketch of a possible mechanism for this reaction with a platinum catalyst in ho…
nanotubes (shown on the right) are obtained as the main product of a direct chemical synthesis at relatively low temperatures. The multiwalled material contains template molecules between the individual shells, which by a simple cation exchange can be removed without destruction of the tubes.
We present a comparative study of the energetic, structural, and elastic properties of carbon and composite single-wall nanotubes, including BN, ${\mathrm{BC}}_{3}$, and ${\mathrm{BC}}_{2}\mathrm{N}$ nanotubes, using a nonorthogonal tight-binding formalism. Our calculations predict that carbon nanotubes have a higher…
Macromonomeric azo initiator containing biodegradable poly(ε-caprolactone, (PCL) was synthesized by the condensation reaction of PCL with 4,4′-azobis(4-cyanopentanoyl chloride) and methacryloyl chloride. This macromonomeric azo initiator (MIM–PCL) was further used in the polymerization of styrene (St) or methylmethacr…
The thermal and flame-retardant properties of phenol–formaldehyde-type resins (crosslinked and noncrosslinked) in mixtures with triphenyl phosphate and styrene–acrylonitrile resins were evaluated. The mixtures show a synergistic effect between triphenyl phosphate and novolacs. Those containing phenol–formaldehyde novo…
