Abstract Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET)/clay nanocomposite was prepared by the direct polymerization with clay‐supported catalyst. The reaction degree of catalyst against the cation exchange capacity of clay was 8 wt %. The intercalation of PET chains into the silicate layers was revealed by X‐ray diffraction stud…
We report a systematic study of charge transport in a range of low-molar-mass and extended (having at least six aromatic rings) nematic liquid crystals, some of which are reactive mesogens, with a high degree of shape anisotropy, i.e., the length-to-width (aspect) ratio is exceptionally high. We demonstrate that the h…
A concept for highly ordered solid-state structures with bright fluorescence is proposed: liquid crystals based on tetraethynylpyrene chromophores, where the rigid core is functionalized with flexible, promesogenic alkoxy chains. The synthesis of this novel material is presented. The thermotropic properties are studie…
Recent experiments have obtained the melting line of sodium up to pressures of about 130 GPa, finding that the melting line from the {\em bcc} phase reaches a maximum at a temperature of {\em c.a.} 1000 K and a pressure of 31 GPa, and at higher pressures the fusion temperature decreases continuously up to 118 GPa. Her…
Au nanoparticles with near perfect monodispersity in shape and size self-assemble, very slowly and at room temperature, on polystyrene films for film thickness < 4R_{g}$, R_{g} being unperturbed polymer gyration radius. Nanoparticle shape and size can be tuned, without sacrificing monodispersity, by changing polymer f…
The properties of butane (C4H10) lubricants confined between two approaching solids are investigated by a model that accounts for the curvature and elastic properties of the solid surfaces. We consider the linear n-butane and the branched iso-butane. For the linear molecule, well defined molecular layers develop in th…
Time-resolved Kerr rotation spectroscopy as a function of pump-probe distance, voltage and magnetic field is used to measure the momentum-dependent spin splitting energies in GaAs and InGaAs epilayers. The strain of the samples can be reproducibly controlled in the cryostat using three- and four-point bending applied…
Method of derivation of phenomenological thermodynamic potential of solid solutions is proposed in which the interaction of the order parameters of constituents is introduced through the account of elastic strain due to misfit of the lattice parameters of the end members. The validity of the method is demonstrated for…
It is predicted that III-V diluted magnetic semiconductors can exhibit stripe-like modulations of magnetization and carrier concentration. This inhomogeneity results from the strong dependence of the magnetization on the carrier concentration. Within Landau theory, a characteristic temperature T* below the Curie tempe…
The fundamental dislocation processes of glide, climb, and annihilation are studied on diffusive time scales within the framework of a continuum field theory, the phase field crystal model. Glide and climb are examined for single edge dislocations subjected to shear and compressive strain, respectively, in a two-dimen…
Abstract Gold nanoparticles supported on different oxides (SiO 2 , CeO 2 and TiO 2 ) were prepared by the SMAD (solvated metal atom dispersion) and deposition–precipitation (DP) techniques. The physical and chemical characterization of the catalysts was performed by X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and X‐ray dif…
In the science and engineering communities, the nanoscience revolution is intensifying. As many types of nanomaterials are becoming more reliably synthesized, they are being used for novel applications in all branches of nanoscience and nanotechnology. Since it is sometimes desirable for single nanomaterials to perfor…
The effect of copper concentration on the performance of the catalytic reaction between silicon and methyl chloride was investigated using online gas chromatogram. The catalyst concentration greatly influences various aspects of the direct organosilane synthesis process, including the reaction rate, the selectivity, a…
Abstract Hg‐doped CdS nanowires with an average diameter of ∼10–15 nm and lengths up to hundreds of micrometers are fabricated by chemical vapor reaction. The as‐synthesized products have a single crystal phase and grow along the 〈001〉 direction. The growth of Hg‐doped CdS nanowires is suggested for the quasi‐vapor–so…
Broadband dielectric relaxation measurements of tris(dimethylsiloxy)phenylsilane were made at ambient pressure and at elevated pressures. The data show an anomalous behavior not previously seen in any other glass-formers; namely, the structural alpha-relaxation loss peak narrows with increasing pressure and temperatur…
Four well-resolved peaks with very narrow linewidths were found in the $D$-band and ${G}^{\ensuremath{'}}$-band features of double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWNTs). This fact implies the occurrence of additional van Hove singularities (vHSs) in the joint density of states (JDOS) of DWNTs, which is consistent with theor…
This paper gives the synthesis of an unusual non-steroidal amphiphile consisting of a large rigid molecule that possesses two water-solubilizing sulfates on one face and an extended hydrophobic surface on the other. The properties of this compound have been examined by X-ray analysis, light and cryo-electron microscop…
Sol–gel‐derived SiOC ceramics are metastable glasses that undergo microstructural modifications upon annealing at temperatures exceeding 1000°C. Typically, silicon‐rich SiOC compounds show the presence of a low volume fraction of silicon and silicon carbide nanocrystals upon exposure to 1200°C. Here, the microstructur…

Like emulsions, pastes and many other forms of soft condensed matter, aqueous foams present slow mechanical relaxations when subjected to a stress too small to induce any plastic flow. To identify the physical origin of this viscoelastic behaviour, we have simulated how dry disordered coarsening 2D foams respond to a…
