We investigate the structure of magnetic domain walls in a classical double exchange ferromagnet, evaluating domain wall energies and charges. Three different cases are studied: (i) a conventional smooth Bloch wall, (ii) an abrupt Ising-type wall, which is shown to have lower energy at small values of carrier concentr…

We investigate the resonance steps, spatiotemporal dynamics, and dynamical phase diagrams of the dc-driven diatomic Frenkel-Kontorova model. The complete resonance velocity spectrum is given. The diatomic effects result in each resonant state being characterized by two integer pairs, $(k_1,k_2)$ and $(k_1,k_2^{\prime}…

Structural and kinetic aspects of 2-D irreversible metal deposition under potentiostatic conditions are analyzed by means of dynamic Monte Carlo simulations employing embedded atom potentials for a model system. Three limiting models, all considering adatom diffusion, were employed to describe adatom deposition.The fi…

The magnetic flux trapping in type-II superconductor containing fractal clusters of a normal phase, which act as pinning centers, is considered. The critical current distribution for an arbitrary fractal dimension of the boundaries of the normal phase clusters is obtained. It is revealed that the fractality of the clu…

We have investigated the lattice dynamics of LiBC. Experimental Raman and inelastic neutron scattering results are confronted with density functional calculations. The excellent agreement between experiment and theory indicates that we have attained a high level of understanding for LiBC, which by its structure is clo…

We present a detailed investigation of the temperature and frequency dependence of the anomalous EPR transitions first observed in Mn12-acetate by Hill et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 80, 2453 (1998)]. The most dominant of these transitions manifest themselves as an extra series of EPR absorption peaks for spectra obtained w…

Unusual emission of visible light is observed in scanning tunneling microscopy of the quantum well system Na on Cu(111). Photons are emitted at energies exceeding the energy of the tunneling electrons. Model calculations of two-electron processes which lead to quantum well transitions reproduce the experimental fluore…

The oxidation of polystyrene, polyethylene, polypropylene and poly(vinylidene fluoride) is retarded by carbon nanotubes. Incorporation of boron into the nanotubes enhances the electron affinity of the tubes and leads to a small increase in antioxidant efficiency.

The propagation of light in nonperiodic quasicrystals is studied by ultrashort pulse interferometry. Samples consist of multilayer dielectric structures of the Fibonacci type and are realized from porous silicon. We observe mode beating and strong pulse stretching in the light transport through these systems, and a st…

The optical response of ring-shaped gold nanoparticles prepared by colloidal lithography is investigated. Compared to solid gold particles of similar size, nanorings exhibit a redshifted localized surface plasmon that can be tuned over an extended wavelength range by varying the ratio of the ring thickness to its radi…

The laws of variation of the flow stress (σ) and latent strain energy ( E s ) in the course of plastic deformation have been studied in the samples of a titanium-doped chromium-nickel steel (12Kh18N10T grade) before and after neutron irradiation to a dose of 5×10 22 m −2 (neutron energy E >0.1 MeV). The E s versus σ c…

Plastic packaging forms a significant portion of household waste, and PET soft drink bottles represent a major percentage of the waste. Consequently, PET bottle grade material makes up a significant portion of the feedstock in the recycling plant at Visy plastics. The end uses are theoretically many, however, there ar…

Abstract The redox behavior of porphyrin-Ru(bpy)3 conjugates is studied by means of spectroelectrochemistry. The redox potentials for the porphyrin freebase, zinc and manganese derivatives are measured and compared to the corresponding monomeric reference porphyrins. Among the porphyrin-Ru(bpy)3 conjugates, the mangan…

Abstract The significance of heat‐aging effects on low‐molecular‐weight polycarbonate has been studied by performing a two‐factor Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). Although this work was primarily motivated by the large experimental scatter observed in stress relaxation results for LMW 2608 (part I), the effect of heat‐ag…

The high-pressure carbon monoxide (HiPco) process for producing single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) uses iron pentacarbonyl as the source of iron for catalyzing the Boudouard reaction. Attempts using nickel tetracarbonyl led to no production of SWNTs. This paper discusses simulations at a constant condition of 1300 K…
