Random defects destroy long-range phase coherence, and inhibit the metal-insulator transition in the charge density wave (CDW) system $1T\ensuremath{-}{\mathrm{TaS}}_{2}$. Photoelectron spectroscopy with high resolution reveals corresponding changes in the electronic structure. Core level spectra indicate a temperatur…
Colonization dynamics and metabolism of algal communities on wood (small pieces of Douglas fir) and artificial rock (tiles) substrata were investigated in an open reach in Mack Creek, Cascade Mountain Range, Oregon, for 42 days. Chlorophyll a concentration was not significantly different between the two algal communit…
▪ Abstract Polymer phases can be described in the same way as phases in other condensed matter using a number density operator and its correlation functions. This description requires the understanding of symmetry operations and order at different atomic and molecular levels. Statistical mechanics provides a link betw…
The drainage of liquid foams involves the interplay of gravity, surface tension, and viscous forces. Three experimentally accessible configurations are modeled analytically using a one-dimensional nonlinear partial differential equation called the foam drainage equation: free drainage where liquid drains from an initi…
The deposition of copper by means of atomic layer epitaxy is reported. Using Cu(II)‐2,2,6,6‐tetramethyl‐3,5‐heptanedionate as the precursor, pure and specular copper films were deposited at deposition temperatures below 200°C. This is more than 150°C lower than in previous reports for the same precursor where chemical…
The stability of diamond under pressure and the structure of hypothetical high-pressure phases have been a controversial issue for a long time. “Will diamond transform under megabar pressures?” asked Yin and Cohen in the title of their paper [Phys. Rev. Lett. 50, 2006 (1983)] which attempted to predict an answer to th…
An atomistic direct diagonalization pseudopotential approach has been used to analyze the optical excitation spectra of CdSe quantum dots for up to 1.5 eV about the band gap. Good agreement is obtained with experiment for all the eight excitonic transitions, without resorting to fitting to the experimental data on dot…
The dielectric behavior of alkylcyanobiphenyls (5CB and 8CB) confined in porous matrices with randomly oriented, interconnected pores with two different mean pore sizes (1000 and 100 \AA{}) has been investigated by means of broadband dielectric spectroscopy in the frequency range from 1 mHz to 1.5 GHz. The confinement…
Magnetization and electrical resistivity studies have established that ${\mathrm{La}}_{0.5}{\mathrm{Ba}}_{0.5}{\mathrm{CoO}}_{3\ensuremath{-}\ensuremath{\gamma}}$ (LaBaC) is a metallic ferromagnet whereas ${\mathrm{Pr}}_{0.5}{\mathrm{Ba}}_{0.5}{\mathrm{CoO}}_{3\ensuremath{-}\ensuremath{\gamma}}$ (PrBaC) is a magnetic…
Wide band dielectric and electro-optic spectroscopy of an antiferroelectric liquid crystal (AFLC) has been carried out over a range of frequencies from 1 kHz to 1 GHz. The AFLC sample under investigation possesses a variety of different ferri-, ferro-, and antiferro-electric phases. Dielectric spectroscopy of the LC c…

In this work the level of continuity and cocontinuity for blends of HDPE/PS prepared on a twin-screw extruder have been studied by both morphology and dissolution studies. Addition of SEBS as an interfacial modifier results in a shift of the percolation threshold for dispersed PS to higher concentrations. The region o…
Glasses of composition ( x ‐ 1)PbO(100 ‐ x )GeO 2 1Ln 2 O 3 , with x = 30 mol% (Ln = Nd, Eu, Er), 40 mol% (Ln = Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm), and 50 mol% (Ln = Eu, Er), have been prepared by quenching the oxidic melts. From the optical absorption and emission spectra in the ultraviolet‐visible‐near‐infrared (UV‐VIS…
Backscatter factors were determined for x-ray beams relevant to diagnostic radiology using Monte Carlo methods. The phantom size considered most suitable for calibration of dosimeters is a cuboid of 30 x 30 cm2 front surface and 15 cm depth. This phantom size also provides a good approximation to adult patients. Three…
Inhibition of mild steel corrosion by sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate ((C12H25C6H4SO3Na [SDBS]) and sodium oleate (CH3[CH2]7CH=CH[CH2]7COONa) in acidic solutions was investigated using a potentiostat, a lock-in amplifier, a contact angle goniometer, a Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer, and an ultraviolet…
The main goal of this research news article is to describe how different kinds of topological defects that exist in a silicate liquid crystal seed can initiate and direct the growth of particular forms of mesoporous silica. This avenue of investigation emerged from the results of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), tr…
Tartrate and succinate anions have been intercalated in Zn(3)Al and Zn(2)Cr LDHs. The preparations using either coprecipitation, anion exchange, or reconstruction methods are described. In the case of tartrate-containing LDH, coprecipitation and reconstruction methods have proved to be very limited to lead to pure mat…
The multinuclear complexes 1,3,5-[ trans -I(Et 3 P) 2 PtC≡C] 3 C 6 H 3 ( 1 ) and 1,2,4,5-[ trans -I(Et 3 P) 2 PtC≡C] 4 C 6 H 2 ( 2 ) were prepared via σ-acetylide synthetic methodologies by reaction of tri- and tetraethynylbenzene with diiodobis(triethylphosphine)platinum. The combination of this synthetic coupling st…
The nuclear and magnetic structures of ${\mathrm{La}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}{\mathrm{Ca}}_{x}{\mathrm{MnO}}_{3}$ have been studied by neutron powder diffraction methods for the compositions $x=0.06,$ 0.15, 0.175, 0.25, and 0.33. At low concentrations of Ca $(x=0.06)$ the oxidized sample contains cation vacancies and the s…
The structure of sodium tetrasilicate (Na 2 Si 4 O 9 ) glasses containing 0 to 10 wt% water was investigated by a combination of Raman, IR, and NMR methods. Both the 29 Si magic angle spinning NMR data and Raman spectra in the Si-O stretching region clearly show that water depolymerizes the silicate network of the gla…
