We present a combined experimental and Monte Carlo study of a nematic phase in the presence of quenched disorder. The turbidity of a nematic liquid crystal embedded in a porous polymer membrane is measured under different applied field conditions for field-cooled and zero-field-cooled samples. We find that a significa…

Despite the observation by a number of groups of a strong luminescence sensitization effect of erbium ions by excitation exchange from silicon nanoclusters, there is considerable experimental evidence that the fraction of Er ions excited by Si-nc is actually very low for much of the material reported. In this work, we…

The optical and magnetic stability of hydrothermally grown Co-doped ZnO nanowires were investigated. The experimental results suggest that two different kinds of coordination of Co ions in the ZnO host, either with or without magnetic coupling, likely coexist in the as-grown samples. Low-temperature annealing resulted…

Abstract Summary: An inorganic hybrid material was produced using a polysiloxane binder and metal‐oxo‐clusters which were derived from sol‐gel precursors. The continuous phase is composed of an elastomeric polysiloxane functionalized with cycloaliphatic epoxide groups. Pendant alkoxy silane groups serve as a coupling…

Abstract: A new method combining the split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) technique with the back‐propagation (BP) neural network program is proposed. By this method, the treated strain wave signals become smooth with less noises induced by the transverse inertia. Moreover, the dynamic rate‐dependent constitutive behav…

We have studied the phase diagram of LaVOx films grown on (001) SrTiO3 substrates by pulsed laser deposition. With increasing oxygen partial pressure, the growth phase diagram varies between epitaxial perovskite LaV3+O3 single crystal films and polycrystalline monoclinic LaV5+O4. An interesting feature is the lack of…
