Recently, several research groups have reported on the observation of super-large more than 5% magneto-strain effect in some non-stoichiometric Ni-Mn-Ga alloys close to 5.78% value expected from the tetragonality aspect ratio of the martensite crystal lattice. New Ni-Mn-Ga alloys showing giant magneto-strain effect di…
Step meandering due to a deterministic morphological instability on vicinal surfaces during growth is studied. We investigate nonlinear dynamics of a step model with asymmetric step kinetics, terrace and line diffusion, by means of a multiscale analysis. We give the detailed derivation of the highly nonlinear evolutio…
Nanostructured WO 3 thin films were prepared, and photooxidation of water at such films was studied in a pH 4.68 solution. The cathodic current at potentials below −100 mV versus a saturated Ag/AgCl electrode was related to the reversible intercalation of H + and/or Na + . The photocurrent onset was at ∼100 mV, and th…
Single crystal films of Gd and Nd were grown by MBE techniques using the LaMBE facility in Oxford. The thickness of the layers was 5000 Å and the mosaic spread about 0.2-0.3°. Some of the layers were hydrogenated by KTH in Stockholm to obtain the dihydride. The magnetic structures were determined using the TAS1 triple…
The isothermal crystallization kinetics of virgin, melt-mixed, and nucleated specimens of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polypropylene terephthalate (PPT), and polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) were measured. The purpose of the study was to determine the difference in crystallization rate of PPT, which is to be comm…
Functionalization of poly(ethylene-co-vinyl acetate) (EVA) with vinyltriethoxysilane (VTEOS) has been carried out by a free-radical melt-grafting procedure in the presence of added comonomers. The influence of comonomers on silane graft yield and crosslink density has been assessed. Experiments were performed on maste…
Functional group containing MBS impact modifiers for the poly carbonate/poly(butylene terephthalate (PC/PBT) alloy were synthesized and characterized in this study. The novel MBS consisted of three layers, in which the inner, middle, and outer layers were styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) latex, polystyrene, and a copoly…
Four different p-PDA–based polyimide thin films were prepared from their respective poly(amic acid)s through thermal imidization at 400°C: poly(p-phenylene pyromellitimide) (PMDA-PDA); poly(p-phenylene biphenyltetra carboximide) (BPDA-PDA); poly(p-phenylene 3,3′,4,4′-oxydiphthalimide) (ODPA-PDA); and poly(p-phenylene…
We report on the dynamics of surface-attached polyelectrolyte (PEL) brushes under compression and varying conditions of added salt and pH. Fluctuations of the brush thickness are probed by bringing the sample in contact with a small sphere attached to the cantilever of a scanning force microscope (SFM). The noise powe…
The isothermal crystallization kinetics of virgin, melt-mixed, and nucleated specimens of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polypropylene terephthalate (PPT), and polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) were measured.

This study aimed at using scanning electron microscopy to study the Izod impact fracture surface morphology of super-tough nylon 6 blends prepared by blending nylon 6 with a maleic anhydride-grafted polyethylene-octene elastomer (POE) in the presence of a multifunctional epoxy resin (CE-96) as compatibilizer. The frac…
Total structure factors, that is both Bragg and diffuse scattering, have been measured for La 1- x Sr x MnO 3 ( x = 0.2 and 0.4) at temperatures between 15 and 1000 K by powder neutron diffraction using the SLAD diffractometer at the Studsvik Neutron Research Laboratory. The data have been used to simultaneously model…
The use of the substituted benzotriazole ligand btaOH (1-hydroxybenzotriazole) in copper(II) chemistry has yielded a structurally and magnetically very interesting complex. The [Cu2(O2CMe)4(H2O)2]/btaOH.H2O/aqueous NH3 (1:4:4, 1:3:3, 1:2:2) reaction system in MeOH gives dark brown-green [Cu(btaO)2(MeOH)]n (4) in appro…
We have studied the adsorption of a number of model proteins onto the surface of a cross-linkable hydrogel polymer incorporated with phosphorylcholine (PC) groups and dodecyl chains (PC 100B). The structure of the coated thin polymer film was determined by neutron reflection combined with spectroscopic ellipsometry. N…
A series of fulvalenediyl-bridged dimanganese complexes has been studied by electrochemistry and by IR, optical, and ESR spectroscopic methods. The redox site is based on the Mn(I) moiety (C 5 H 4 R)Mn(CO) 2 PPh 3 and variations thereof. Six dinuclear complexes are each oxidized in two one-electron steps with E 1/2 se…
Molybdenum dioxide crystallizes in a monoclinic structure which deviates only slightly from the rutile structure and is characteristic of several early transition metal dioxides. We present results of all-electron electronic structure calculations based on density functional theory within the local density approximati…
Surface flows are excited by steadily adding spherical glass beads to the top of a heap. To simultaneously characterize the fast single-grain dynamics and the much slower collective intermittency of the flow, we extend photon-correlation spectroscopy via fourth-order temporal correlations in the scattered light intens…
The binding energy of A3C60, a conductor, is described well by an ionic solid type calculation. This succeeds because there is little overlap between molecular wave functions on neighbouring sites, so that electrons are practically localized on-shell. This leads one to believe that even in A4C60 and A6C60 systems such…
m -Terphenyl-based lanthanide complexes functionalized with a triphenylene antenna chromophore ((Ln) 1 ) exhibit sensitized visible and near-infrared emission upon photoexcitation of the triphenylene antenna at 310 nm. Luminescence lifetime measurements of the (Eu) 1 and (Tb) 1 complexes in methanol- h 1 and methanol-…
This paper reviews deposition, integration, and device fabrication of ferroelectric PbZr x Ti 1- x O 3 (PZT) films for applications in microelectromechanical systems. As examples, a piezoelectric ultrasonic micromotor and pyroelectric infrared detector array are presented. A summary of the published data on the piezoe…
