Long range 1:1 cation order was developed in Pb(Fe2(1−x)∕3Sc2x∕3W1∕3)O3 solid solution compounds by high temperature solid state reaction. It is found that the degree of cation order directly influences the saturation magnetization in these single phase compounds. A high saturation magnetization (∼0.61μB∕f.u.) was obs…

An ion implanted Mn–Ge(100) alloy has been fabricated with a 30nm subsurface layer of disorderly diluted Mn atoms, which settle all in substitutional lattice sites after 400°C annealing in vacuum. The Mn L2,3 x-ray absorption spectroscopy of the disordered Mn implanted alloy is featureless, while the one taken on the…

We present heat capacity measurements on crystalline Zn nanowires with diameters of 230 and 23 nm, bracketing the superconducting coherence length of 155 nm. Transport measurements on superconducting nanowires have found a crossover from three-dimensional to one-dimensional behavior as the wire diameter was reduced be…

It is well accepted that the adventitia is much more than a simple elastic membrane which surrounds the media. However, the extent of its contribution to vascular physiology, as well as the mechanisms involved, remains to be clearly established and characterised. Investigation into these topics is hampered by a few te…

In situ multiple tensile load-unload cycles under synchrotron radiation are performed on nanocomposite Cu∕Nb wires. The phase specific lattice strains and peak widths demonstrate the dynamics of the load-sharing mechanism where the fine Cu channels and the Nb nanotubes store elastic energy, leading to a continuous bui…

Abstract This work was aimed at understanding how the injection‐molding temperature affected the final mechanical properties of in situ composite materials based on polycarbonate (PC) reinforced with a liquid‐crystalline polymer (LCP). To that end, the LCP was a copolyester, called Vectra A950 (VA), made of 73 mol % 4…

Fluorinated copolymers based on 4-(N-methacryloylamino)phenyl methacrylate are proposed as materials for the liquid crystal (LC) photoalignment with a wide range of variations of a pretilt angle. As fluorinated chains, 2,2,3,3-tetrafluoropropylmethacrylate and 2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5-octafluoropenthylmethacrylate are used. Th…

To elucidate the origin of the colossal dielectric response (CDR) of CaCu3Ti4O12 (CCTO), multilayer thin films of CCTO interposed in insulating CaTiO3 (CTO) were synthesized using a pulsed laser deposition technique. The capacitance C of CTO/CCTO/CTO films with different layer thicknesses is measured. After removing t…
