Within the four-particle cluster approximation for the proton ordering model, we study effects of external pressures which do not lower the crystals symmetry on deuterated ferroelectrics and antiferroelectrics of ${\mathrm{KH}}_{2}{\mathrm{PO}}_{4} $ family. The theory provides a satisfactory description of the availa…

Blended organosilicon precursors containing 10 or 20% of poly(vinylsilane) (PVS) in polycarbosilane (PCS) were prepared and shaped into fiber form by melt‐spinning. The influence of PVS addition on the spinning, radiation‐curing, and pyrolysis processes was investigated. The addition of PVS increased the spinability o…

The chemical state of analyte species collected on a water-cooled silica tube during atom-trapping atomic absorption spectrometric determination is investigated with the use of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) for Bi and Mn. Analysis of the Bi 4f 7/2 peak reveals that the chemical state of Bi is +3 during initia…

The effect of additions of vanadium with simultaneous additions of other carbonitride forming microalloying elements (Ti, Nb, Zr) or Al on the hardenability of steels of composition Fe–0·4C–1·5Mn–(0·004–0·021)N (wt-%) was investigated. Using a thermodynamic model, the composition of the austenite and the amount of und…

We report on the alignment transition of a nematic liquid crystal from initially homeotropic to quasi-planar due to field-induced anchoring breaking. The initial homeotropic alignment is achieved by Langmuir-Blodgett monolayers. In this geometry the anchoring strength can be evaluated by the Frederiks transition techn…

The spin-lattice and spin-spin NMR relaxation times ${T}_{1}$ and ${T}_{2}$ of ${}^{55}\mathrm{Mn}$ and ${}^{139}\mathrm{La}$ were measured as a function of temperature in several $(\mathrm{LaNa}){\mathrm{MnO}}_{3}$ perovskites, which are ferromagnetic and exhibit metallic conductivity. Exponential dependence was obse…

Silver nanoclusters in poly(methyl methacrylate) (Ag/PMMA) were prepared by bulk polymerization of methyl methacrylate with radical initiators in the presence of silver(I) trifluoroacetate (AgTfa), followed by a period of heating. To compare the influence of the type of radical initiator on the formation of Ag nanoclu…

We introduce a new method to determine the 'lattice offset' or 'rigid-body shift' between two crystals forming an interface. Our method relies on quantitative evaluation of high-resolution transmission electron microscopy images. Employing the (001)-orientated interface between Al and MgAl2O4 in parallel orientation a…

This paper describes an automated measurement system for core loss characterization. This system can accomplish these aims, within specified magnetic induction and frequency ranges, and at different temperatures, with high accuracy, due to the techniques used in the acquisition and computation of the waveforms involve…

A comprehensive modelling effort to analyse sputtering erosion and redeposition in the DIII-D/DiMES 70, 71 and 79 experiments using metal films (beryllium, vanadium, molybdenum, tungsten) on a carbon divertor probe has been performed. These materials were exposed at the outer strike point of an attached H mode plasma…

The fracture toughness of a commercial soda–lime– silica glass has been measured by the Vickers indentation method at four different indentation loads between 1·96 and 9·8 N and four different indentation times between 15 and 30 s. Indentation fracture toughness (IFT) values were calculated using 14 different formulae…

Synthesis of 11-cis-retinal analogues, of great importance in bioorganic studies of the photoreceptor of the visual transduction pathway, has been hampered by unusual difficulties in establishing the 11-cis geometry. However, a general and mild preparation of 11-cis-retinoids in high yield has been achieved by reducti…

A continuum model suitable for the description of microcracked bodies is shown. The influence of microcracks on the mechanical behavior of the body is estimated through a microstructural field added to the displacement one. This field represents the perturbation to the regular displacement field due to the presence of…

The common tetragonal form of KH 2 PO 4 undergoes two high-temperature transformations that have been studied extensively by vibrational spectroscopy. But, because these changes are strikingly heterogeneous, the previously reported spectra, averages over polycrystalline and single crystal domains, have remained ill-de…
