The quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) method was used to obtain precise information about the dissolution behavior of resist polymers. The time evolutions of the resonance frequency and the impedance during the dissolution were measured using the QCM method. The data were simulated using the transmission line method o…

A generalised treatment of the appearance of supersaturation barriers σd, σ* and σ** during the growth of single crystals is outlined from the standpoint of well-defined critical values of relative step velocities on a face. The final theoretical expressions are based on the premise that: (1) there are critical values…

Abstract The performance of H‐ZSM‐5‐supported bimetallic catalysts with chromium as the base metal in the combustion of ethyl acetate and benzene is reported. A reactor operated from 100 to 500 °C at a gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) of 32 000 h −1 was used for study of the activity. A combination of 1.0 wt% chromium…

We have demonstrated the usefulness of employing a thermal-image furnace for in situ , high-temperature studies of oxide ceramics in air. Using Rietveld refinements lattice parameters and expansion coefficients can be measured up to 2000 °C in air. The use of an in situ temperature reference material is essential to m…

Single-phase thin films of NaxCoO2 have been grown epitaxially by pulsed-laser deposition technique. The growth conditions were studied based on the logpO2−1∕T phase diagram of Co–O2 using different types of substrate materials. For Na0.58CoO2, metallic behavior is found down to 4.2K. At the request of the authors, th…

We show that the helical superstructure in chiral smectic-C-type liquid crystal phases can, if the pitch is short enough, give rise to the tristate switching characteristic of antiferroelectrics even if the local commensurate order is synpolar as in the ordinary Sm-C* phase. Since the field-induced helix unwinding exh…

An impurity-driven magnetic phase transition has been investigated in LaCoO 3 at temperatures below that of the thermally induced spin state transition of the Co 3+ ion. We have discovered a saturating component of the magnetisation, which we attribute to previously unobserved interactions between magnetic excitons. T…

Zinc porphyrin-appended dendrimers, 12PZn, 18PZn, 24PZn, and 36PZn, containing 12, 18, 24, and 36 zinc porphyrin units, respectively, were synthesized using zinc porphyrin dyad (2PZn) and triad (3PZn) as precursors. Although these dye-functionalized dendrimers all serve as chiroptical sensors for an asymmetric bipyrid…
