We report on the infrared spectra of $R{\mathrm{NiO}}_{3}$ $(R=\mathrm{Eu},$ Ho, Y). They provide evidence of phonon and insulating gap behavior and point to the monoclinic distortion at the metal-insulator (MI) transition as a feature for all $R{\mathrm{NiO}}_{3}$ $(R\ensuremath{\ne}\mathrm{La}).$ We hypothesize that…

We demonstrated liquid crystalline template-directed and photoinduced localization of orientationally ordered polymer networks in a liquid crystal host. In the limit of a diffusion-controlled polymerization process, the location of these networks in a liquid crystal (LC) cell can be controlled by varying the wavelengt…

Polymeric capsules possessing a shell-in-shell structure were fabricated by assembling layers of polyelectrolytes with interlayers of silica nanoparticles onto microspheres of melamine formaldehyde. Subsequently the cores were removed with hydrochloric acid and the silica layers with hydrofluoric acid. Removal of the…

The unoccupied electronic structure in the surface state of lightly doped ${\mathrm{SrTiO}}_{3}$ has been studied by resonant inverse-photoemission spectroscopy (RIPES). The RIPES spectra show two features whose energy separations match the ${t}_{2g}$ and ${e}_{g}$ subbands of unoccupied Ti $3d$ state. A peak clarifie…

The isotropic-nematic phase behavior of a binary mixture of rodlike and platelike particles is studied within Onsager's second virial theory. The phase behavior is obtained from the numerically exact equilibrium orientational distribution functions for both uniaxial and biaxial nematic phases. Inspired by recent exper…

By studying the phase behaviour and the short range order of polystyrene microgel colloids in a good solvent we demonstrated that these particles can be considered as hard spheres or nearly hard spheres if the internal cross link density is made sufficiently high. A binary mixture of 1:50 crosslinked (1 crosslink per…

Isomerization of olefins, in particular eugenol and safrole, is an important reaction as the products, namely isoeugenol and isosafrole, find application in pharmaceuticals and fragrances. The catalyst employed to carry out this reaction is either a strong alkaline solution (KOH or KOtBu) or precious metal catalysts u…

A neutron-diffraction study on an A-site-ordered perovskite manganite $R{\mathrm{BaMn}}_{2}{\mathrm{O}}_{6}$ $(R=\mathrm{Tb})$ has revealed that the magnetic structure is characterized by two modulation vectors, (1/2 0 1/4) and (1/4 1/4 1/4), in the primitive cubic setting. The appearance of the magnetic order is acco…

The spectral properties of azo dye aggregates have been used to determine the influence of the dendritic surface of Starburst poly(amidoamine) dendrimers on the alignment of electrostatically bound azo dyes. The surface structure and morphology of dendrimers provide enhanced opportunities for the ordered assembly of a…

A series of dinuclear ruthenium complexes with 1,2-dicarbonylhydrazido (DCH) ligands having various substituents were prepared in order to study the correlation between their optical, electrochemical behaviour and the electron density within the bridging ligands. As the average donor strength of the substituent increa…
