The ceramic compound ${\mathrm{TiB}}_{2}$ has been studied by electron-energy-loss spectroscopy. Spectral shapes in the vicinity of the $\mathrm{B} K$ edge with momentum transfer $\mathbf{q}\ensuremath{\Vert}c$ and $\mathbf{q}\ensuremath{\perp}c$ have been investigated and compared with decomposed, calculated spectra.…

We studied the effect of long-term cropping, fertilisation, and manuring on kinetics of nonexchangeable potassium (K) release from a Tropaquept in 0·01 M CaCl2 and 0·01 M citric acid media under a rice–rice cropping system in an experiment started in 1971. Under continuous cropping, the cumulative K release from the s…

The stable smectic configurations associated with achiral bent-shaped molecules are investigated theoretically. Five different configurations of the molecules within the layers are found, among which two possess a spontaneous longitudinal polarization, consistent with the $\stackrel{^}{n}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensur…

The influence of the first and second cubic anisotropy constants on the hysteresis loops of noninteracting single-domain magnetic particles is studied by Monte Carlo simulation, which turns out to be a very powerful method for studying simple magnetic models. Both signs in the anisotropy constants are taken into accou…

Low-energy electron diffraction (LEED) theory is used for describing the electron transport in crystalline solids with the purpose of determining the electron attenuation length. The inelastic scattering of the primary electron in the electron gas of the material is introduced into the LEED theory in terms of the elec…

The valence band width of graphite is determined with high accuracy by imaging the momentum distribution of photoelectrons for various binding energies. Compared to local-density-functional theory, the experimental band width (22.0 eV) is stretched by about 11%. Quasiparticle calculations, which properly describe elec…

Second harmonic generation has been examined for 30ZnO⋅70TeO2 glass with a two-step poling procedure in order to understand the poling temperature dependence of second harmonic intensity. When the poling temperature increases, the second harmonic intensity increases, manifests a maximum at the temperature which we cal…

A nonlinear optical crystal YCa(4)O(BO(3))(3) (YCOB) is phase matchable for third-harmonic generation (THG) of a Nd:YAG laser by type I mixing between 1.064 and 0.532mum . By partial substitution of Gd for Y in YCOB, a solid solution Gd(x)Y(1-x)Ca(4)O(BO(3))(3) gradually changes the phase-matching angles of THG to (th…

In this paper we establish a Morse decomposition of the stationary solutions of the one-dimensional viscous Cahn-Hilliard equation by explicit energy calculations. Strong non-degeneracy of the stationary solutions is proven away from turning points and points of bifurcation from the homogeneous state and the dimension…

Sound attenuation and internal friction coefficients are calculated for a realistic model of amorphous silicon. It is found that, contrary to previous views, thermal vibrations can induce sound attenuation at ultrasonic and hypersonic frequencies that is of the same order or even larger than in crystals. The reason is…

The discovery of single–bubble sonoluminescence has led to a renewed interest in the forced radial oscillations of gas bubbles. Many of the more recent studies devoted to this topic have used several simplifications in the modelling, and in particular in accounting for liquid compressibility and thermal processes in t…

Recent observations of the collapse of single bubbles or clouds of cavities trapped within stationary acoustic fields have shown the production of light and these phenomena have been dubbed single– or multiple–bubble sonoluminescence. The experimental observation of the variations in the bubble radius with time, with…
