We have systematically investigated the electronic structure of the d⁴ metal-salen complexes including the Cr(II)-, Mn(III)-, Fe(IV)-, Mo(II)-, Tc(III)-, and Ru(IV)-salen complexes. Density functional theory (DFT) has been employed, using the BP86 and B3LYP functionals, and the entire M05 and M06 suites of meta-genera…

A gradient of director through the thickness of a nematic glass cantilever gives a gradient in the large distortions such materials suffer in response to temperature or illumination changes. We first sketch, within isotropic elasticity, how such gradients cause these cantilevers to respond by bending. We then derive t…

State-of-the-art tube models for the dynamics of entangled polymer melts are usually validated on the basis of the agreement of their predictions for the linear viscoelastic properties (LVE data) of the system against experimentally measured data. We present here a more direct and fundamental test of these models base…

Abstract The Au/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) (Co, Zn‐doped)/n‐Si Schottky barrier diodes (SBDs) were exposed to various illumination intensities. Illumination effect on the dielectric properties has been investigated by using capacitance–voltage (C–V) and conductance–voltage (G/ω–V) characteristics at 1 MHz and room temper…

Phase change accompanying conversion of a saturated or superheated vapor in the presence of subcooled surfaces is one of the most common occurring phenomena in nature. The mode of phase change that follows such a transformation is dependent upon surface properties such as contact angle and thermodynamic conditions of…

We report herein a versatile synthesis of cyclodextrin-based polyrotaxanes (CD-PRs). Three different CD-PRs were synthesized from different linear polymers and different CDs with relatively good yields by a novel single method. This method requires no additional capping reagents, because CDs play a dual role as both t…

Nerve wrapping can improve outcomes by protecting nerves in a scarred tissue bed. Autologous tissue wraps have shown good results, but there are limitations associated with harvesting and availability. Extracellular matrix (ECM) derived from porcine small intestinal submucosa offers an attractive off-the-shelf option.…

The increase of observations and computational capabilities favoured the numerical simulation of microstructure to derive the effective properties of materials. Indeed, the multiscale approaches, that use homogenization techniques, enable us to estimate or to give bounds of the overall properties of heterogeneous medi…

Cellular materials with hollow lattice truss topologies exhibit higher compressive strengths than equivalent structures with solid trusses owing to their greater resistance to plastic buckling. Consequently, hollow trusses have attracted interest as the cores for sandwich panels. Finite-element calculations are used t…

Abstract Thin ZnSnO films are evaluated as new buffer layer material for Cu(In,Ga)Se2‐based solar cell devices. A maximum conversion efficiency of 13.8% (Voc = 691 mV, Jsc(QE) = 27.9 mA/cm2, and FF = 71.6%) is reached for a solar cell using the ZnSnO buffer layer which is comparable to the efficiency of 13.5% (Voc…
