    Near-field photoconductivity imaging of a conjugated polymer blend

    We report combined scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM) and near-field photocurrent (NPC) imaging of a binary conjugated polymer blend. We find phase separation on a scale of about 5 μm, with a good c...

    Managing the dispersal of ladybird beetles (Col.: Coccinellidae): Use of artificial honeydew to manipulate spatial distributions

    We tested whether large-scale distributions of aphidophagous ladybirds could be manipulated by localized application of artificial honeydew. In addition to enhancing local build-up of ladybird numbers (e.g., in a...

    Chemistry and structural modulations in Bi2Sr2CuO6

    A series of samples along the composition lines Bi2+xSr2−xCuOy, and Bi2Sr2−xCuOy have been used to study the structural modulation, chemistry, and superconducting properties of pseudo-tetragonal Bi2Sr2CuO6 (2201)...

    Phase Instability at the Maximum Tc in Oxide Superconductors: Phase Separation in La2CuO4+x, Nd2−xCexCuO4, and La2−xSrxCuO4

    Observation of similar behavior in three different superconducting oxides suggests that the maximum Tc is limited by phase instability. These conclusions are based on previously published neutron powder diffracti...

    Structural Phase Diagram and Superconducting Behavior of the Ba1-Xkxbio3 System

    We have determined the crystal structures of five phases in the Bal-xKxBiO3 system for 0≤x≤0.5 and 10K≤T≤473K. Superconductivity occurs only in a cubic perovskite phase with the maximum Tc at the transition to an...

    Evidence for Phonon-Mediated Coupling in Superconducting Ba0.6K0.4BiO3

    Superconducting Ba0.6K0.4BiO3, with a Tc of 30K, shows a large18O isotope effect which indicates that phonons are involved in the pairing mechanism. Infrared reflectivity measurements indicate a value for the sup...

    Synthesis, structure and superconductivity in the Ba1−xKxBiO3−y system

    The recent discovery of superconductivity near 30 K in Ba1−xKxBiO3−y (x≈0.4)1,2 is remarkable for two reasons. It is the first copper-free oxide superconductor that has a transition temperature (Tc) above that fo...
