Abstract BACKGROUND: The increasing uses of non‐woven fabrics need the development of a kind of novel flame‐retardant polyester with low melting temperature. Neopentyl glycol (NPG) and 3‐(hydroxyphenylphosphinyl)propionic acid (HPPPA) were used as the third and fourth comonomer to synthesize phosphorus‐containing poly…

Structure, optical, and magnetic properties of the anatase Ti1−xFexO2−δ films fabricated by facing-target reactive sputtering were investigated. Structural analyses indicate that there are no impurity phases in the films and the grain size reaches maximum when Fe content x is 0.017. The optical band gap of the Ti1−xFe…

There are three main effects that affect the femtosecond pulse focusing process near the focal plane of a refractive lens: the group velocity dispersion (GVD), the propagation time difference (PTD), and the aberrations of the lens. In this paper we study in detail these effects generated by nonideal achromatic doublet…

A new class of carbon structure is reported, which consists of microscale graphitic shells bounded by curved and faceted planes containing two to five layers. These structures were originally found in a commercial graphite produced by the Acheson process, followed by a purification treatment. The particles, which coul…

We have performed extended x-ray absorption fine-structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy on a 2.8% Cr-doped V(2)O(3) sample, with the aim of studying its structural evolution in a wide temperature range across the paramagnetic-antiferromagnetic insulating phase transition at T(c). The data were registered with two different se…

Abstract Some of the diarylethene derivatives were found to undergo photoisomerization reactions between two isomers even in the single-crystalline phase. The two isomers have different electronic as well as geometrical structures. The electronic structure change induces the reversible color change of the crystal. Sin…

Interfacial water layers attract more and more attention in both material sciences and life sciences because of two characteristics that depend on the polarity of the surfaces involved: crystalline order and surface stability. Their interplay allows us to understand friction at the nanoscale under realistic conditions…
