Electrodeposition of ion resulted in the growth of single‐crystal particles on an amorphous carbon electrode in solution. single crystals grow at potentials higher than −0.55 V vs. saturated calomel electrode (SCE) in (pH 7) as well as (pH 2.0) and HCl (pH 2.1) solutions. However, as well as Cu particles are formed si…

Tilting of the crystal profile during directional solidification is studied numerically, when the crystalline axis is misoriented from the temperature gradient and the pulling direction. Only with the anisotropy in surface stiffness is the crystal shown to tilt to an angle \ensuremath{\varphi} smaller than the misorie…

Contaminant effects on the morphology of turkey egg-white lysozyme (TEWL) crystals grown in ungelled and in gelled growth media have been investigated. The latter may serve as a model system for future microgravity experiments. Hen egg-white lysozyme (HEWL) was added as the contaminant at levels ranging from 4 up to 7…

L-Lactate monooxygenase (LMO) from Mycobacterium smegmatis was mutated at glycine 99 to alanine, and the properties of the resulting mutant (referred to as G99A) were studied. Mutant G99A of LMO was designed to test the postulate that the smaller glycine residue in the vicinity of the alpha-carbon methyl group of lact…

The gene encoding the tetrameric malate dehydrogenase (MDH) in a thermophilic Bacillus species (BI) has been cloned in an Escherichia coli plasmid. The nucleotide sequence of the gene, the first to be elucidated for a tetrameric MDH, shows the MDH subunit to contain 312 amino acids and have a molecular mass of 33648 D…

We use only nitrogen as the reaction gas to deposit on the cleaned Si wafer an extra-thin Si nitride film (∼40 Å) by electron cyclotron resonance method. Electroluminescence (EL) with its peak wavelength at about 7000 Å from the semitransparent Au/extra-thin Si nitride film/p-Si structure has been detected. The effect…

The biomedical study of NiTi shape memory alloys has been undertaken in China since 1978. A series of stimulating corrosion tests, histological observations, toxicity tests, carcinogenicity tests, trace nickel elements analysis and a number of clinical trials have been conducted. The results showed that the NiTi shape…

We study the relaxational dynamics of the one-spin facilitated Ising model introduced by Fredrickson and Andersen. We show the existence of a critical time which separates an initial regime in which the relaxation is exponentially fast and aging is absent from a regime in which relaxation becomes slow and aging effect…

Pb 0.91 La 0.06 (Zr 0.65 Ti 0.35 )O 3 (PLZT 6/65/35) is a relaxor ferroelectric near and above the temperature of the dielectric maximum (∼180°C). The relaxor state can persist to room temperature upon fast cooling. However, this relaxor state gradually changes to a normal ferroelectric over a long time period at 25°C…

A monomer with reactive double bonds was mixed with a liquid crystal and polymerized under UV irradiation in various phases of the liquid crystal. The polymer networks formed are found to be anisotropic and fiber-like, if the monomer is polymerized in an oriented liquid crystal state. The orientational order of the po…

Quantum paraelectrics are incipient ferroelectrics whose transition is hindered by the zero-point quantum motion. Recently however, electronparamagnetic-resonance measurements uncovered a phase-transition-like anomaly in the quantum paraelectric SrTiO3 at T q ≈ 37 K. The observed line shifts are accompanied by no meas…
