Soft-oxometalates beyond crystalline polyoxometalates: formation, structure and properties

Correlation between crystalline structure and soft magnetic properties in sputtered sendust films

We have investigated the change in crystallographic and magnetic properties of sendust thin films before/after annealing. Films were deposited by both rf diode and rf magnetron sputtering. rf diode-sputtered films did not possess soft magnetic properties in the as-deposited state. Films were subsequently annealed in both a conventional oven and a rapid thermal annealing ~RTA! system. The coerci...

A new crystalline LiPON electrolyte: Synthesis, properties, and electronic structure

the effect of swcnt and mwcnt on properties and crystalline structure of polyvinylidene fluoride

single-walled carbon nanotubes (swcnt) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes(mwcnt) were melt-blended with polyvinylidene fluoride (pvdf).ft-ir technique revealed that swcnt has insignificant effect on the crystalline structure of pvdf and at 3wt% modification only 14% beta crystal isformed. this observation was accounted for by the chair structure of swcnt. in mwcnt nancomposites it was found that...

Structure-related frustrated magnetism of nanosized polyoxometalates: aesthetics and properties in harmony.

The structural versatility characterizing polyoxometalate chemistry, in combination with the option to deliberately use well-defined building blocks, serves as the foundation for the generation of a large family of magnetic clusters, frequently comprising highly symmetric spin arrays. If the spin centers are coupled by antiferromagnetic exchange, some of these systems exhibit spin frustration, ...

Nanoemulsions: formation, structure, and physical properties

We summarize procedures for producing ‘nanoemulsions’ comprised of nanoscale droplets, or ‘nanoemulsions’, methods for controlling the droplet size distribution and composition, and interesting physical properties of nanoemulsions. In contrast to more common microscale emulsions, nanoemulsions exhibit optical transparency at high droplet volume fractions, φ, surprisingly strong elasticity at lo...
