The technique for using conoscopy to determine the optical orientation and birefringences of stretched polymer films is presented here in detail. The method is nondestructive and has the capacity for implementation both off-line and online during processing. Analysis was performed on films of polyethylene naphthalate…

Electrophoretic deposition from mixtures of CdSe and γ-Fe 2 O 3 nanocrystals forms identical films on the positive and negative electrodes composed of both types of nanocrystals. In contrast, the electrophoretic deposition from mixtures of CdSe and Au nanocrystals forms films composed of only CdSe nanocrystals, and th…

Abstract The tensile and impact resistance of impact‐modified poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) is investigated. The impact modifiers are polyolefin‐based elastomers or elastomer blends containing glycidyl methacrylate moieties to improve the adhesion with the polyester. The tensile properties are measured on injecti…

Abstract Cross‐linked polyethylene (XLPE) has been widely adopted as insulating material for high‐voltage power cables up to 500 kV. Further improvement of electrical and thermal properties on insulating material is required in order to increase cable operation efficiency. Therefore, the development of novel insulatin…

A modified chemical bath deposition method has been developed to prepare CdSe and HgSe semiconductor thin films in cubic modification, based on the chemical reaction of complexed cadmium acetate, mercuric nitrate with sodium selenosulphate in an aqueous ammoniacal medium at 5 °C. The films were characterized by using…

Abstract Epoxy foams were prepared from the commercial system (LY 5054 epoxy resin, HY 5054 amine as curing agent, and DY 5054 siloxane as foaming agent) supplied by Ciba‐Geigy. From the differential scanning calorimeter results the optimal epoxy–amine ratio was determined. A maximum T g ∞ value of 85°C was found for…

The disintegration of Rh clusters on an Al2O3 surface induced by CO, the elementary steps, and timescale of the reaction are analyzed for the first time by energy-dispersive X-ray absorption fine structure (DXAFS) at a time resolution of 100 ms (see picture). This study by the improved time-resolved DXAFS technique pr…

A ferroelectric field effect approach is presented for modulating magnetism in the colossal magnetoresistive oxide ${\mathrm{La}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}{\mathrm{Sr}}_{x}{\mathrm{MnO}}_{3}$ (LSMO). The ferromagnetic Curie temperature of ultrathin LSMO films was shifted by 35 K reversibly using the polarization field of the…

The sulfur–nitrogen radical p-O2NC6F4CNSSN. (see packing diagram) provides a rare example of an organic radical that orders ferromagnetically above 1 K. It is suggested that the near orthogonal nature of the singly occupied molecular orbitals of neighboring molecules is important for such behavior to be observed.

Large single crystals of the chiral ferrimagnet [{Cr(CN)6}{Mn(S)-pnH(H2O)}](H2O) can be recovered from the reaction between K3[Cr(CN)6], Mn(ClO4)2, and (S)-1,2-diaminopropane dihydrochloride (see picture). Magnetic measurements of the complex show that MnII and CrIII ions interact ferrimagnetically, with a magnetic tr…

Electron spins in a semiconductor quantum well couple to an electric field {\it via} spin-orbit interaction. We show that the standard spin-orbit coupling mechanisms can provide extraordinary efficient electron spin manipulation by an in-plane ac electric field.

We report on the fabrication and electrical characterization of field-effect transistors at the surface of tetracene single crystals. We find that the mobility of these transistors reaches the room-temperature value of $0.4 \ cm^2/Vs$. The non-monotonous temperature dependence of the mobility, its weak gate voltage de…

We extend the phase-field approach to model the solidification of faceted materials. Our approach consists of using an approximate gamma plot with rounded cusps that can approach arbitrarily closely the true gamma plot with sharp cusps that correspond to faceted orientations. The phase-field equations are solved in th…
