α and β rhombohedral boron are closely related structures with nearly identical stability. Unlike a, in which every site is fully occupied, β is characterized by partial occupancy and intrinsic disorder. Optimizing the site occupation yields a superstructure of β that we call β'. Its energy is lower than α but its sym…

Composites made from polypropylene and lignocellulosic materials derived from plants were subjected to acoustic and mechanical investigations. Sound absorption coefficients for these composites were measured using the acoustic standing wave method in the frequency range from 1000 to 6500Hz. This work shows that the fr…

We present ab initio molecular dynamics calculations based on density functional theory to study the hydrogen-deuterium exchange in bulk and nanoclusters of MgH2. Our calculations reveal the important role of catalysts to diffuse the hydrogen at low temperatures and increase the diffusion rate. We determine the diffus…

Orientational order parameters (OOP's) have been determined in the Smectic A, Smectic C1 and Smectic C2 phases of a hockey stick-shaped compound from X-ray diffraction measurements and compared with NMR measurements. While the OOP values from NMR measurements abruptly drop at the Smectic C1 to Smectic C2 transition, t…

The coordinate of a notch and its depth and length are found from three eigenfrequencies of bending vibrations. The notch is a model of a flaw in a bar, in particular, of a transverse open crack. Taking into account that the crack propagates from a small nucleus and not necessarily from the most stressed cross section…

The electrothermal technique is developed to simultaneously measure the specific heat and thermal conductivity of individual thin samples suspended across two heat sinks, resorting to pulsed direct currents with or without a dc offset. The temperature evolution due to Joule self-heating is recorded and compared with t…

Abstract Siloxane coatings were deposited using two different atmospheric plasma systems namely a reel‐to‐reel atmospheric plasma liquid deposition system called Labline™ and an atmospheric plasma jet system called PlasmaStream™. Both systems combine an atmospheric plasma, with the use of liquid precursors. The influe…

We investigated the glass former m-tricresyl-phosphate confined in different nanoporous silica matrices with defined pore radii from 2-150 nm. While applying different 31P NMR techniques, we were able to detect the extremely stretched correlation functions extending over 7-8 decades in time and reflecting strong dynam…

The synthesis and spectroscopic characterization of tetraimidazophthalocyanines are presented. This kind of molecules have not been intensively studied due to difficulty in (i) obtaining an easily obtainable synthon: a benzimidazole ring with a variety of substituent, and (ii) achieving the Rosenmund-Von Braun reactio…

We study colloidal particle dynamics of a model glass system using confocal and fluorescence microscopy as the sample evolves from a hard-sphere glass to a liquid with attractive interparticle interactions. The transition from hard-sphere glass to attractive liquid is induced by short-range depletion forces. The devel…
