Excitons in carbon nanotubes under axial magnetic field $(B)$ have been theoretically studied in the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model supplemented by long-range Coulomb interactions. The $B$-induced symmetry breaking leads to splitting of the degenerate exciton energy levels, which could be seen clearly in the linear optica…

Abstract A temperature sensor based on an array of carbon nanowires written by a 30 keV Ga + focused ion beam on diamond substrate has been developed. The temperature sensitivity of the electrical conductuctance between the nanowires is explained by the thermal activation of charge carriers in a heterostructure graphi…

Abstract A uniaxial natural fabric of Hildegardia populifolia was used as a reinforcement for a polycarbonate‐toughened epoxy. The Hildegardia fabric was treated with a 5% sodium hydroxide solution for 1 h. The fabric was spray‐coated with a 1% silane‐based coupling agent. The variation of the chemical resistance and…

Abstract Linear oligo(ferrocenylsilane) and hyperbranched poly(ferrocenylsilane) (LOFS and HPFS) were synthesized by polycondensation of 1,1′‐dilithioferrocene (FcLi 2 ) with dimethyldichlorosilane (Me 2 SiCl 2 ) and FcLi 2 with methyltrichlorosilane (MeSiCl 3 ) in THF under different conditions, respectively. The ele…

Two unlike dislocations gliding in parallel slip planes in a channel of a persistent slip band are considered. Initially they are kept apart in straight screw positions. As the dislocations are pushed by the applied stress between two walls in the opposite directions, they bow out and attract one another forming a dip…

Leakage-current and polarization-switching properties of defect-controlled Bi 2 WO 6 single crystals have been investigated along the crystallographic a axis at 25°C. High-pressure oxygen annealing decreased leakage current, indicating that electron is a detrimental carrier of the leakage-current property. 2-mol% Mn s…

Abstract We report the synthesis and characterization of new organic/inorganic hybrid materials constituted of Ni(0) and Cu(0) nanoparticles and polypyrrole (PPy). Copper and nickel nanoclusters were synthesized by a chemical reduction of aqueous metal salt solutions by sodium borohydride. PPy/Ni(0) and PPy/Cu(0) comp…

WO3 and MoO3 are important hydrogen storage and transport materials capable of accommodating large quantities of hydrogen. Upon insertion of hydrogen, their properties change dramatically, giving rise to electrochromic and photochromic transformations that have been intensively investigated. The materials are also eff…

The self-assembly of Ge-O polyhedra by metal-complex templates leads to initial examples of open germanate structures under mild solvothermal conditions. These materials are constructed from Ge-O cluster building blocks (Ge7X19 (X = O, OH, or F) or Ni@Ge14O24(OH)3) and span the full range of dimensionalities from 1D c…

A new sum rule has been derived for the atomic force constants from the invariance of the potential energy under the rigid body rotation of a crystal. For instance, it is found that there are actually two force constants in the nearest-neighbour approximation of a face-centred cubic (FCC) lattice, rather than three fo…
