We present a first-principles study of ${\text{VO}}_{2}$ in the rutile and monoclinic $({M}_{1})$ phases by means of all-electron full-potential linear muffin-tin orbital GW calculation. Full frequency dependence and off-diagonal matrix elements of the self-energy are taken into account. As a result of dynamical corre…

Abstract Self‐assembling dendrons sterically disfavor the cisoid conformation through which 6 π ‐electrocyclization proceeds in cis ‐polyarylacetylenes. Through the same mechanism, selected self‐organizable dendronized helical cis ‐polyphenylacetylenes ( cis ‐PPAs) undergo an unprecedented thermally induced cisoid‐to‐…

Abstract Nanocomposites of linear low‐density polyethylene (LLDPE), with three different amounts of polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS), were prepared through melt‐mixing in a batch‐mixer at 150 °C. The structure of the prepared nanocomposites was studied by X‐ray scattering and optical microscopy. The surfac…

Specimens of poly( l -lactic acid) (PLLA) with 0.43 ≤ χ c ≤ 0.65 were dielectric characterized. The relaxation process associated to the dynamic glass transition shifts to higher frequencies/lower temperatures with the increase of crystallinity. From the VFT temperature dependence of relaxation times, the glass transi…

It's what's inside that counts! Nanoporous materials with large internal surface area have been extensively employed as host materials in nanotechnology. Since the lower co-ordination of atoms of nanoporous structures can lead to the redistribution of electronic charge and change the cohesive energy of single atoms in…

Magnesium, due to its biocompatibility, a necessity in metabolic processes, and better mechanical properties than polymer, is an ideal candidate for biodegradable implants. The main actual limitation for the use of magnesium alloys is its too fast degradation rate in the physiological environment. The corrosion behavi…
