Rhombohedral PZT Thin Films Prepared by Sputtering
PZT thin films with a rhombohedral perovskite structure were successfully grown on (111) PLT/Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si and (111) Ir/SiO2/Si substrates. The... -
Correlation Between Domain Structures and Dielectric Properties in Single Crystals of Ferroelectric Solid Solutions
In the present chapter, the growth of single crystals in relaxor–PbTiO3 (PT) solid solution system by the flux method and the solution Bridgman... -
Relaxor Superlattices: Artificial Control of the Ordered–Disordered State of B-Site Ions in Perovskites
We have developed a new superlattice technique to artificially control the B-site ordering state. The technique has been applied to Ba(Zr0.2Ti0.8)O3,... -
Pb-Based Ferroelectric Thin Films Prepared by MOCVD
This Chapter focuses on the preparation and ferroelectric properties of Pb-based thin films and nanostructures. First, the growth behavior of... -
Chemical Solution Depositionof Layer-Structured Ferroelectric Thin Films
Ferroelectric rare-earth-doped Bi4Ti3O12 thin films have been successfully prepared on Si-based substrates by using metallo-organic precursor... -
Phase behavior of phytanyl-chained akylglycoside/water systems
The aqueous phase behavior of novel alkylglycosides, AGs, that have a 3,7,11,15-tetramethylhexadecyl (phytanyl) group as their hydrophobic part was... -
Adsolubilization by mixtures of ionic and non-ionic surfactants
The adsolubilization of 2-naphthol by surfactant mixtures of ionic and non-ionic surfactants has been investigated for three systems; sodium dodecyl... -
Salt-induced aggregation in cationic liposome suspensions
The simple salt-induced aggregation of small unilamellar dioleoyltrimethylammoniumpropane [DOTAP] vesicles is investigated by measuring the change in... -
Enzymatic activity of lipase entrapped in CTAB/water/pentanol/hexane reverse micelles: a functional and microstructural investigation
The lipase VII (from Candida rugosa) activity was studied as a function of the content of pentanol and water in cethyltrimethylammonium bromide... -
Perfluoropolyether carboxylic salts in micellar solution and O/W microemulsions
High purity laboratory-scale samples of Cl(C3F6O) n CF2COOX salts are examined for their micellization in water, with n... -
5. Simulation of Active and Nonlinear Photonic Nano-Materials in the Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) Framework
A numerical method is presented that unites three-dimensional finite-differnce time-domain (FDTD) computer simulations of active, nonlinear photonic... -
13. Parallel Implementation Strategiesfor Algorithms from Scientific Computing
Many applications from scientific computing are computationally intensive and can therefore benefit from a realization on a parallel or a distributed... -
Concluding Remarks
So far, the 3DXRD microscope has mainly been applied to fundamental studies in metallurgy. As demonstrated in Chap. 9, the method is sufficiently... -
The 3DXRD Microscope
The 3DXRD microscope at ESRF is installed in a separate laboratory, the second experimental hutch at beamline ID11 [1,2]. The beamline is an... -
Applications
An understanding of polycrystalline deformation is essential for science and industry, in order to predict the development of texture and flow stress... -
Probe entrapment by vesicular systems in relation with the properties of the amphiphilic film
Two different vesicular systems were investigated as regards their ability to substantially retain a hydrophilic probe. The first system was a series... -
Self-assembly of homogeneous systems
The circle packings including non-periodic packings can be analysed for physical and thermodynamic stability for a triangular net with T 4=3–6... -
Specific ion effects: why colloid science has failed to contribute to biology
Surface tension of salt solutions and double layer forces between charged interfaces show marked specific ion effects not accommodated by the... -
