The kinetics of degradation of methyl tert -butyl ether (MTBE) by ultrasonic irradiation in the presence of ozone as functions of applied frequencies and applied power are investigated. Experiments are performed over the frequency range of 205−1078 kHz. The higher overall reaction rates are observed at 358 and 618 kHz…

Two different approaches to the problem of carrier-induced ferromagnetism in the system of the disordered magnetic ions, one bases on self-consistent procedure for the exchange mean fields, other one bases on the RKKY interaction, used in present literature as the alternative approximations is analyzed. Our calculatio…

We have identified the pieces of the Fermi surface responsible for the long period oscillations of magnetic coupling across Cr and Cr$_{(1-x)}$V$_x$ alloy spacers in metallic multilayers. Analysing experiments and results of KKR-CPA calculations we find that the periods are determined by the extremal wave~vectors of t…

Results of a first-principles study of the Li impurity in GaN are presented. We find Li is a channel interstitial, with an onset for diffusion at T$\sim$ 600 K. Above this temperature, Li can transform to a Ga-substitutional acceptor by exothermic recombination with Ga vacancies. This process implies capture of at lea…

We review the theory of oscillatory magnetic coupling in Metallic Multilayers across alloy spacers. We illustrate the relationship between the frequencies of the oscillations and the extremal caliper vectors of the Fermi surface of the spacer by explicit calculations for Cu$_{(1-x)}$Ni$_x$, Cr$_{(1-x)}$V$_x$ and Cr$_{…

We study the response to shear of a one-dimensional monolayer embedded between two rigid plates, where the upper one is externally driven. The shear is shown to excite ``shearons'', which are collective modes of the embedded system with well defined spatial and temporal pattern, and which dominate the frictional prope…

A combination of SiO vapor-deposition and direct wafer bonding is used to produce buried layers of SiOx. By thermally induced decomposition, Si nanocrystals embedded in SiO2 are obtained. Decomposition of the silicon suboxide is observed by studying the Si-O-Si stretching vibration in the infrared range. This phase se…

In this letter, we report on the influence of lead content on thin-film ferroelectric properties of lead niobium zirconate titanate. These films were prepared by the sol-gel technique and deposited on (La,Sr)CoO3 electrodes. It was determined that 7% excess lead in the sol was required to obtain nominally stoichiometr…

We have observed the ferroelectricity at room temperature in YMnO3 thin films prepared via solution. Precursor films of YMnO3 on Pt/sapphire or Y2O3/Si substrates were heat treated in vacuum or in air for controlling the crystallinity. X-ray diffraction measurements indicated that each film was a single phase of hexag…

Full chemical control of magnetic anisotropy in hexairon(III) rings can be achieved by varying the size of the guest alkali metal ion. Dramatically different anisotropies characterize the Li(I) and Na(I) complexes of [Fe(6)(OMe)(12)(L)(6)] (L=1,3-propanedione derivatives; a schematic representation of the Li(I) comple…

The dielectric susceptibility, = ´ - i ´´ , of nominally pure strontium titanate is measured between 4 and 70 K as a function of an external bias field. Static scaling analysis of the susceptibility reveals a very good scaling behaviour with a quasi-critical exponent a = /( - 1) = 2.00 ± 0.02 extracted consistently fr…
