The current research reviews a study of the variation in diameter along the Mongolian horse tail hair length, and its effect on tensile properties. Our results show that horse tail hair fibre has quite considerable changes in diameter from the root to the tip. There is a significant decrease in fibre diameter at the t…

Magnetic ions of the 3dn transition series in oxide lattices can introduce large local magnetostriction effects through spin-orbit-lattice interactions with an axially distorted cubic crystal field. In this paper, the local-site magnetostriction model used successfully in ferrites containing small concentrations of Ja…

Scanning tunneling microscopy of Sb-capped GaAs shows the coexistence of different surface reconstructions. The majority of the surface consists of an $\ensuremath{\alpha}2(2\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}4)$ reconstruction typically observed for GaAs(001) surfaces. At step edges, an $\ensuremath{\alpha}(4\ifmmode\…

Results of magnetization and high-field electron spin resonance (ESR) studies of the new spin-1 Haldane-chain material [Ni(C 2 H 8 N 2 ) 2 NO 2 ](BF 4 ) (NENB) are reported. A definite signature of the Haldane state in NENB was obtained. From the analysis of the frequency–field dependence of magnetic excitations in NE…

Abstract Flashover of polluted insulators is still a serious threat to the safe operation of a power transmission system. Despite the extensive investigations carried out on the pollution performance of the insulators, the flashover characteristics are not well understood. Recent theoretical and experimental research…

We have performed electroabsorption spectroscopy on micelle-wrapped single-wall carbon nanotubes. In semiconducting nanotubes, many oscillating structures composed of the increase and decrease of absorption are observed in the spectra in the region of the first and second absorption bands, E11 and E22. The spectral sh…

A comprehensive kinetic investigation of the esterification of acetic acid with methanol in both the liquid phase (21−60 °C) and the gas phase (100−140 °C) was carried out using tungstated zirconia (WZ) as the catalyst. The goal of this study was to derive rate law expressions and to propose a reaction mechanism that…

Silica nanostructured spheres were obtained by spray drying of silica sol prepared in situ. Their morphologies were significantly affected by the aggregation of the primary particles in the sol. They had the mode of the pore sizes which was about the same order as Laser Particle Size Analyzer (LPA) diameter. Increasin…

Abstract An evaluation of degraded level is an important subject for industrial products. Ordinarily, many kinds of polymer material changes its color through the degrading process by altering its chemical structure, and IR and UV are applicable to ensure the production of the functional groups. However, these methods…
