Structural and magnetic properties of diluted magnetic semiconductor Ge1-xFexTe thin films are investigated. The conventional structure analysis shows c-axis orientation with columnar growth of the films and no indication of Fe clusters or second phase. Magnetic measurements combined with theory models reveal that two…

The “confinement length scale”, defined as the critical spacing where deviations from bulk behaviors begin, is widely examined with confined molecular and colloidal liquids, yet its origin and relationship to cooperative motion remain an open question. In this work, we examine the correlation between the sizes of coop…

In this article, we describe the synthesis of a perfluoro-tagged polyglycerol dendron and its aggregation behavior in the presence of polyglycerol dendrimers with perfluorinated shells in water. The perfluoro-alkyl–perfluoro-alkyl interactions between the perfluorinated shells of the dendrimers and the perfluorinated…

We report on a new metastable modification of GeBi${}_{2}$Te${}_{4}$ obtained by high-pressure high-temperature synthesis. It crystallizes in the CuPt type; different nanostructures are induced by various temperature programs under a constant pressure of 12 GPa. The particle size changes from 10 nm in quenched samples…

This paper deals with the experimental characterization of discharges propagating over insulators of epoxy and glass, immersed in a gas or a gaseous mixture, under lightning impulse voltages (1.2/50 μs), using a point-plane electrode arrangement. The gases and mixtures we considered are SF6, N2, CO2, SF6-N2 and SF6-CO…

Promoted hydrogen release from ammonia borane (NH(3)BH(3), AB) with mannitol (C(6)H(8)(OH)(6), MA) additive is reported. It is found that for the MA/2AB sample, the dehydrogenation temperature is lowered by ~25 °C compared to that of neat AB, the liberation of undesired byproduct borazine is suppressed, and the releas…

A family of the diphosphines PPh(2)C(2)(C(6)H(4))(n)C(2)PPh(2) (n = 0-3), which possess a dialkynyl-arene spacer between the phosphorus atoms, was used for the synthesis of a series of bimetallic gold(I) complexes 1-7. Unlike the corresponding polynuclear Au(i) clusters, which show unique phosphorescence, 1-7 reveal d…
