A generalized spherical-harmonic description of the texture for polycrystalline materials has been implemented in a multiple-phase/multiple-data-set Rietveld refinement code. It has been tested using two sets of neutron time-of-flight data taken from a standard calcite sample previously used for a round-robin study [W…
Anomalies in the dielectric constant and loss tangent have been observed in the ferroelectromagnet ${\mathrm{YMnO}}_{3}$ near its N\'eel temperature of \ensuremath{\sim}80 K and below its ferroelectric Curie temperature of \ensuremath{\sim}914 K. These anomalies are indicative of coupling between the ferroelectric and…
▪ Abstract Since the early 1970s, three major prerequisites have brought the success of the liquid crystal display (LCD) technology to its key role of today. Namely, the discovery of electro-optical field-effects on which the displays are based, the successful search for liquid crystals (LCs) with material properties…
Molecular orbital theoretical calculations based on the modified neglect of differential overlap (MNDO) method were performed on some substituted methyl pyridines and substituted ethane derivatives in common use as corrosion inhibitors for iron in acid media. New correlations of corrosion rates with the energy of the…
A comprehensive study was conducted on mesoporous MCM-41. Spectroscopic examinations demonstrated that three types of silanol groups, i.e., single, (SiO) 3 Si−OH, hydrogen-bonded, (SiO) 3 Si−OH-OH−Si(SiO) 3, and geminal, (SiO) 2 Si(OH) 2, can be observed. The number of silanol groups/nm 2, α OH, as determined by NMR,…
Polyimide-clay hybrid films with four different sizes of clay minerals have been synthesized to investigate the effect of the size of clay minerals to the properties of the hybrids. Hectrite, saponite, montmorillonite, and synthetic mica were used as clay minerals. Those clays consist of stacked silicate sheets about…
Second‐phase particles in Al‐4.4Cu‐15Mg‐0.6 Mn (2024‐T3) were characterized by size and chemistry using scanning electron microscopy and associated electron‐beam microanalysis methods. It was found that approximately 60% of particles greater than about 0.5 to 0.7 μm were (the S phase). This fraction corresponded to 2.…
Results of a data evaluation exercise are presented for a particular specification of sintered alpha‐alumina (mass fraction of Al2O3, ≥0.995; relative density (rho/rhotheoretical), ≥0.98; and nominal grain size, 5 μm). A comprehensive set of material property data is established based on published physical, mechanical…

Aqueous solutions containing a high yield of suspended gold nanorods have been successfully synthesized via an electrochemical method. The control of preparing gold nanorods with different aspect ratios can be attained. Their absorption spectral features show a dominant surface plasma band corresponding to the longitu…
A large amount of work world-wide has been directed towards obtaining an understanding of the fundamental characteristics of porous Si. Much progress has been made following the demonstration in 1990 that highly porous material could emit very efficient visible photoluminescence at room temperature. Since that time, a…
A brief review of the effect of Newton's macroscopic dynamic shear viscosity on the rotation of a cylinder and a ball in a viscous fluid is presented. The approximate nature of some of Stokes' formulae is discussed, and formulae from elementary viscosity theory are given. The concept of molecular viscosity is introduc…
A systematic account is given of the known data on polytypism in nonmetallic substances with various structures. The existing hypotheses concerning the nature of polytypism are discussed. It is shown that polytype formation in nonmetallic crystals is a solid-state relaxation rearrangement accompanied by the formation…
The current state of research into the oxo-acidity in alkali metal nitrate, sulfate, and halide melts is analysed on the basis of the proposed classification of oxo-acidity reactions (Lux–Flood acid–base interactions). It is established that a considerable proportion of literature data on homogeneous acid–base equilib…

Various formation models for fullerenes and other carbon nanostructures are reviewed. The formation models considered include fullerene assembling from graphite sheets, 'nautilus' model, assemblage from clusters, 'fullerene road', and carbon cluster annealing. The selection of magic fullerenes and fullerene isomers is…
An alcoholic–aqueous solution of LiBr·H2O is a useful solvent for silk fibroin, if the ratio of alcohol content to water content therein is 1 or more. The mixed solvents consisting of ethanol, water, and LiBr·H2O showed a higher solubility if they contained a lesser amount of water. They further proved able to easily…
The lightly sulfonated polystyrene ionomer is only soluble in some organic solvents, such as toluene and tetrahydrofurnan (THF). The mixture of its organic solution with water normally leads to macroscopic phase separation, namely precipitation. In this study, using the steady-state fluorescence, the nonradiative ener…
Serine/glycolic acid-based biodegradable polymers have been prepared by ring-opening homopolymerization of 3-(O-benzyl)-L -serinylmorpholine-2,5-dione, and ring-opening copolymerization of the morpholine-2,5-dione derivative and L -lactide/ϵ-caprolactone. The homopolymerization was carried out in the melt at 165°C for…
This study focuses on the kinetics of ethylene/propylene (homo/co) polymerization reactions using a high activity TiCl4/MgCl2/AlEt3 catalyst. The reactor system is a gas phase reactor equipped with an on-line composition control scheme. As such, important kinetic data such as the instantaneous reaction rate of each mo…
