Theory of birefringence and spontaneous polarization in the tetragonal phase of PbTiO3 due to lattice deformation caused by the change of temperature

1995

The microscopic mechanism of birefringence in the tetragonal phase of PbTiO3 is discussed taking account of the dipole-dipole interaction (dipole-dipole effect) due to the ionic and electronic polarizations of the crystal and the spontaneous Kerr effect as a cause of the strong local field acting on the constituent ions, where the lattice deformation due to the change of temperature is also considered. For the spontaneous polarization we use only the first effect. It is found that the birefringence and the spontaneous polarization are in good agreement with the experimental data.

Conformation of a chain polyelectrolyte in solution with low molecular weight salt: small angle neutron scattering measurements

1986

Small angle neutron scattering measurements have been carried out on the tetramethylammonium salt of the polystyrenesulfonic acid withDP w =310 and 1060 in water solution with tetramethylammonium chloride with ionic strength between 0.02 M and 1.0 M. The scattering curves in the scattering vector range 0.05 nm−1≤Q≤1.8nm−1 have been fitted using the form factor of a worm-like chain of finite thickness. The conformational parameters mean square radius of gyration, statistic chain element, mass per unit length and mean square radius of the cross-section have been determined experimentally and used for describing the conformation of the coils. By these molecular weights and ionic strengths, exc…

Phenylation of cationic allylpalladium(II) complexes by tetraphenylborate anion. A mechanistic study

1990

Abstract The mechanism of the reaction of allyl complexes [Pd(η3-2-R′C3H4)(NN′)]+ (NN′ = α-diimine ligand) wiht BPh4− in the presence of activated olefins (ol), yielding the products [Pd(η2-ol)(NN′)] and PhCH2C(R′)CH2, has been investigated. The results are interpreted in terms of extensive association between the cationic substrate and the BPh4− anion in a tight ion-pair, followed by rate-determining phenyl transfer to the palladium center and fast reductive elimination of allylbenzene.

Transient features of the thalamic reticular nucleus in the human foetal brain

1998

The architectonic organization and neuronal types of the human foetal reticular nucleus (RN)--with special reference to transient characteristics--have been investigated using antisera against calretinin, parvalbumin and neurofilament epitopes of somata and dendrites (SMI 311). The RN consists of four subdivisions (clearly distinguishable in the 6/7th gestational month): The main portion appears as a prominent structure on account of its extension and high packing density of neurons which coexpress calretinin and parvalbumin. These two calcium-binding proteins are also expressed by the perireticular nucleus forming a conspicuous grey within the internal capsule. Perireticular cells form clu…

Sweet Ionic Liquid based Materials for Environmental Applications

Study on the thermotropic properties of highly fluorinated 1,2,4-oxadiazolylpyridinium salts and their perspective applications as ionic liquid cryst…

2007

A new series of fluorinated salts, iodides and trifluoromethanesulfonates, was synthesized from perfluoroalkylated 1,2,4-oxadiazolylpyridines. Their thermotropic properties were investigated by combined temperature resolved small angle and wide angle X-ray scattering, differential scanning calorimetry and polarised optical microscopy. The UV–visible and photoluminescence properties were studied for all compounds. The results showed for two compounds the existence of an enantiotropic mesomorphic smectic liquid crystal phase. All iodides showed thermochromism phenomena suggesting prospective applications in optoelectronics.

Computer Simulations of the Electric Interactions between the Phospholipid Head-Groups and Ionic Admixtures in the Membrane Surface

2001

Some phospholipids (e.g. lecithin) form a system of electric dipoles on the membrane surface layer. In the case of lecithin the positive dipole charge is located on the choline and the negative one on the phosphoric molecule group. These dipoles are arranged almost parallel to the membrane surface. Taking the dipole membrane structure as a base for further investigations, a computer model of the electrostatic interaction between the dipole system and the ionic admixture was investigated. The model presumes hexagonal centered or a rectangular flat geometry of the 121 dipoles distribution. The dipoles may rotate freely around round the motionless symmetry axis perpendicular to the system surf…
