Physical and chemical changes may often be induced by raising or lowering the temperature of a substance. Typical examples are phase transitions, such as fusion, or chemical reactions, such as the solid state polymerization of sodium chloroacetate, which has an onset at 471 K: ClCH2COONa (cr) ⇋ NaCl (cr) + 1/n − (CH2C…

Polarized neutron reflectometry (PNR) provides evidence that nonlocal electrodynamics governs the magnetic field penetration in a low-$\ensuremath{\kappa}$ superconductor. The sample is an In film with a large elastic mean-free path. It is shown that PNR can resolve the difference between the reflected neutron spin as…

The authors consider the analysis and modelling of the scattering from frequency-selective surfaces (FSSs), in the 6–14 GHz band, as a function of its periodic array geometry of thin dipole elements on an anisotropic layer. The accurate full-wave electromagnetic (EM) analysis of each FSS was carried out using the meth…

Abstract Aniline‐formaldehyde condensate (AFC) is an amine functional group containing polymer. The sticky resinous nature of the polymer limits its usefulness. Synthesis of AFC in presence of methanol, isopropanol, t‐butanol, n‐octanol or glycerine formed solid cakes instead of resinous material. The scanning electro…

This work investigated the effect of Yb2O3 addition on densification, phase composition, microstructure and flexural strength of ZrB2-SiC ceramics via hot pressing. Results showed that the addition of Yb2O3 eliminated the pores located at triple points and improved densification. With the introduction of 3 vol%Yb2O3,…

Nanocrystals of La 1- x Sr x MnO 3+δ (0< x ≤0.51) with a diameter of about 8 nm were synthesized in the pores of the mesoporous silica SBA-15. The crystal structure at all Sr concentrations had a rhombohedral symmetry. The temperature dependence of the magnetization showed ferromagnetic and superparamagnetic behavior,…

Motivated by recent studies on the quasi-one-dimensional (1D) antiferromagnet BaCo2V2O8, we investigate the Tomonaga-Luttinger-liquid properties of the 1D S=1/2 XXZ Heisenberg-Ising model in magnetic fields. By using the Bethe ansatz solution, thermodynamic quantities and the divergence exponent of the NMR relaxation…

The scientific community paid little attention to a visionary paper, in which Szent-Györgyi predicted that crystalline interfacial water layers would play a fundamental role in biology and evolution. It was 1971, and the proof of the existence of crystalline interfacial water layers at room temperature was virtually l…

Abstract One of the major disadvantages of ultrahigh modulus polyethylene (UHMPE) fibers is their low surface energy which makes them difficult to adhere to most of the resins used in composites. Therefore, UHMPE fibers are often treated with plasmas to improve their surface properties. However, aging of plasma treatm…
