Abstract A series of plastic materials from recycled polyethylene (PE) and oyster‐shell powder were prepared to test their fire‐retardant properties with an aim of finding a practical way of waste recycling. Oyster‐shell powder was found to be mainly composed of calcium carbonate and it decomposed to calcium oxide and…

Abstract Many studies have been carried out to make bottle‐to‐bottle recycling feasible. One of the difficulties found is the decrease in the polymer's molar mass, which damages the injection blow molding process. A method usually employed to increase the molar mass of virgin PET consists of solid‐state polymerization…

The interplay between the solid-state spin-crossover features and the structural properties is analyzed for the $[{\mathrm{Mn}}^{III}{(\mathrm{pyrol})}_{3}\mathrm{tren}]$ complex on the basis of high-pressure and low-temperature single-crystal x-ray-diffraction experiments. In particular, the low-temperature ($30\phan…

We present first-principles total-energy calculations of water adsorption on the $\mathrm{Zn}\mathrm{O}(10\overline{1}0)$ surface. We find that on ideal $\mathrm{Zn}\mathrm{O}(10\overline{1}0)$ surfaces, the fully molecular chemisorption is most energetically favorable at coverage $\ensuremath{\leqslant}0.5\phantom{\r…

The reaction of the bismuth silanolates [Bi(OSiR2R')3] (R = R' = Me, Et, iPr; R = Me, R' = tBu) with water has been studied. Partial hydrolysis gave polynuclear bismuth-oxo clusters whereas amorphous bismuth-oxo(hydroxy) silanolates were obtained when an excess of water was used in the hydrolysis reaction. The metathe…

This paper reports a detailed and systematic lattice dynamical calculation of the newly discovered intermetallic superconductor $\mathrm{Mg}\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{Ni}}_{3}$ by using a lattice dynamical model theory based on pairwise interactions under the framework of the rigid ion model. The results bring out the anomalo…

Cobalt-containing mesoporous TUD-1 with different Si/Co ratios (100, 50, 20, and 10) was synthesized by the direct hydrothermal treatment method (DHT) using triethanolamine (TEA) as a template. The prepared samples (denoted as Co-TUD-1) were characterized by XRD, UV/Vis spectroscopy, elemental analysis, N2 sorption me…

We show detailed magnetic absorption spectroscopy results of an in situ cleaved high-quality single crystal of magnetite. In addition the experimental setup was carefully optimized to reduce drift, self-absorption, and offset phenomena as far as possible. In strong contradiction to recently published data, our observe…

We measured the ultrafast response of triangular silver nanoparticles upon femtosecond excitation of their plasmon resonance. After a fast electron relaxation, the signature of a bimodal mechanical vibration of the particle is apparent as a spectral modulation. We identify the two lowest frequency, totally symmetric v…

In this letter, we report the discovery of superconductivity in Li3Ca2C6. Several graphite intercalation compounds (GICs) with electron donors, are well known as superconductors. It is probably not astonishing, since it is generally admitted that low dimensionality promotes high superconducting transition temperatures…

We report a method for fabricating nanogaps directly with electron beam lithography (EBL). The primary resolution-limit of EBL, electron back-scattering, is reduced dramatically by using a thin-film as a substrate. We show that this resolution enhancement allows one to fabricate metal electrodes with separation from a…
