We have used a modified surface force apparatus (SFA) to study adsorption onto mica surfaces from near-saturated vapours of
n-hexane and n-perfluorohexane, and mixtures thereof. For relative vapour pressures in the range 0.9-0.998 the films adsorbed from vapours
of the pure liquids range in thickness from 1 to 4 nm, in crude agreement with the predictions of non-retarded van der Waals-Lifshitz
theory. The observed deviations from theory show a qualitative difference between the two liquids, which may reflect differences
in the significance of structural contributions to the disjoining pressure. Under the same experimental conditions, adsorption
from vapours of (one-phase) liquid mixtures gives rise to films which are significantly thicker, over a broad range of intermediate
compositions, than those adsorbed from the pure vapours, with a broad maximum in thickness observed near the critical composition
of the bulk liquid mixture.

Adsorption of ideal polymers with stiff backbone onto a flat surface is considered theoretically. Both scaling approach and
quantitative theory are developed. We predict a self-similar monomer concentration profile c(x) ∼ x
-4/3 near the surface (when the distance to the surface x is much smaller than the chain persistence length l /2). The typical conformation of a weakly adsorbed chain can be viewed as a sequence of alternating flat (2-dimensional)
trains of wormlike short loops (flat blobs) and coil-like (3-dimensional) loops forming a triple-layer structure: contact
layer (x < Δ) of adsorbed fragments virtually laid on the surface, proximal layer (Δ < x < l) of flat blobs, and more dilute distal corona layer (x > l). Here Δ defines the range of monomer/surface attraction, Δ ≪ l. The adsorption transition is continuous. However, its relative width is small (T
* is the adsorption temperature, ΔT is the relevant temperature interval): ∼
, i.e. a discontinuous transition in the limit Δ/l↦ 0.

It has been shown over the last few years that the dynamics close to the glass transition is strongly heterogeneous, both
by measuring the diffusion coefficient of tagged particles or by NMR studies. Recent experiments have also demonstrated that
the glass transition temperature of thin polymer films can be shifted as compared to the same polymer in the bulk. We propose
here first a thermodynamical model for van der Waals liquids, which accounts for experimental results regarding the bulk modulus
of polymer melts and the evolution of the density with temperature. This model allows us to describe the density fluctuations
in such van der Waals liquids. Then, by considering the thermally induced density fluctuations in the bulk, we propose that
the 3D glass transition is controlled by the percolation of small domains of slow dynamics, which allows to explain the heterogeneous
dynamics close to T
g. We show then that these domains percolate at a lower temperature in the quasi-2D case of thin suspended polymer films and
we calculate the corresponding glass transition temperature reduction, in quantitative agreement with experimental results
of Jones and co-workers. In the case of strongly adsorbed films, we show that the strong adsorption amounts to enhance the
slow domains percolation. This effect leads to 1) a broadening of the glass transition and 2) an increase of T
g in quantitative agreement with experimental results. For both strongly and weakly adsorbed films, the shift in T
g is given by a power law, the exponent being the inverse of that of the correlation length of 3D percolation.

We discuss the adsorption of polymer gels on flat surfaces. Even in cases of complete wetting where the spreading power S is positive and where an equivalent liquid would spread, the elastic stresses due to the gel deformation upon adsorption
oppose the spreading. The competition between elasticity characterized by the bulk shear modulus G and capillarity characterized by the spreading power S defines a typical length scale ℓ = S/G for the deformation in the gel. For loose gels ℓ can be of the order of 1 μm. Macroscopic gels larger than ℓ deform only
at their edges over a region of size ℓ. Microscopic gels smaller than ℓ show a finite deformation despite the elastic stresses.
The elastic stresses limit the spreading of the polymer, but solvent can be sucked out of a swollen gel by wetting the surface.
The thin solvent film can extend rather far from the gel edge and carry solvent. We calculate the kinetics of the solvent
film formation and of the solvent transfer from a more swollen gel to a less swollen gel.

We consider the adsorption of a random heteropolymer onto an interface within the model of Garel et al. [#!gareletal89!#] by taking into account random self-interactions and ternary repulsive interactions between the monomers.
Within the replica trick and by using a self-consistent preaveraging procedure we map the adsorption problem onto the problem
of binding state of a quantum mechanical Hamiltonian. The analysis of the latter is treated within the variational method
based on the 2nd Legendre transform. Our study reveals a complex behaviour of the localization of the heteropolymer. In particular,
we predict a reentrant localization transition for moderate values of the asymmetry of the distribution function of the monomer
sequences along the heteropolymer.

We consider a low-density assembly of spherical colloids, such that each is clothed by L end-grafted chemically incompatible polymer chains either of types A or B. These are assumed to be dissolved in a good common solvent. We assume that colloids are of small size to be considered as
star-polymers. Two adjacent star-polymers A and B interact through a force F originating from both excluded-volume effects and chemical mismatch between unlike monomers. Using a method developed by
Witten and Pincus (Macromolecules 19, 2509 (1986)) in the context of star-polymers of the same chemical nature, we determine exactly the force F as a function of the center-to-center distance h. We find that this force is the sum of two contributions F
e and F
s. The former, that results from the excluded volume, decays as F

Monolayers of dioctadecyldimethylammonium bromide (DODA) at the air/water interface were used as model for charged surfaces
to study the adsorption of anionic polyelectrolytes. After spreading on a pure water surface the monolayers were compressed
and subsequently transferred onto a polyelectrolyte solution employing the Fromherz technique. The polyelectrolyte adsorption
was monitored by recording the changes in surface pressure at constant area. For poly(styrene sulfonate) and carboxymethylcellulose
the plot of the surface pressure as function of time gave curves which indicate a direct correlation between the adsorbed
amount and surface pressure as well as a solely diffusion controlled process. In the case of rigid rod-like poly(p-phenylene sulfonate)s the situation is more complicated. Plotting the surface pressure as function of time results in a curve
with sigmoidal shape, characterized by an induction period. The induction period can be explained by a domain formation, which
can be treated like a crystallization process. Employing the Avrami expression developed for polymer crystallization, the
change in the surface pressure upon adsorption of rigid rod-like poly(p-phenylene sulfonate)s can be described.

A mean-field theory for domain structures in random multiblock copolymer melts is developed. We focus on the finite molecular
weight effects resulting in a competition between macroscopic phase separation and microdomain formation in the system. We
identify an essential parameter N
ε controlling the phase behavior of the system, where N is the number of blocks per chain and ε is the composition asymmetry parameter (= the difference between the mean copolymer
composition and its critical value). The phase diagram involving N
ε and the reduced temperature as variables is obtained. The regions of coexistence of two or more phases are identified. We
show that a superstructure formation on cooling is always pre-empted by a macroscopic phase separation of the macroscopically
homogeneous (disordered) system yielding two homogeneous phases: H
0↦H

We report a theoretical analysis of the phonon thermal conductance, κ(T), for single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCN). In a range of low temperatues up to 100 K, κ(T) of perfect SWCN is found to increase with temperature, approximately, in a parabolic fashion. This is qualitatively consistent
with recent experimental measurements where the tube-tube interactions are negligibly weak. When the carbon-carbon bond length
is slightly varied, κ(T) is found to be qualitatively unaltered which implies that the anharmonic effect does not change the qualitative behavior
of κ(T).

Dynamical linked cluster expansions are linked cluster expansions with hopping parameter terms endowed with their own dynamics.
We discuss physical applications to systems with annealed and quenched disorder. Examples are the bond-diluted Ising model
and the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick spin glass. We derive the rules and identify the full set of graphs that contribute to the
series in the quenched case. This way it becomes possible to avoid the vague extrapolation from positive integer n to n = 0, that usually goes along with an application of the replica trick.

Recent experiments have demonstrated that the dynamics in liquids close to the glass transition temperature is strongly heterogeneous.
The characteristic size of these heterogeneities has been measured to be a few nanometers at T
g. We extend here a recent model for describing the heterogeneous nature of the dynamics which allows both to derive this length
scale and the right orders of magnitude of the heterogeneities of the dynamics close to the glass transition. Our model allows
then to interpret quantitatively small probes diffusion experiments.

Scaling properties of the Gibbs distribution of a finite-size one-dimensional Ising model are investigated as the thermodynamic
limit is approached. It is shown that, for each nonzero temperature, coarse-grained probabilities of the appearance of particular
energy levels display multiscaling with the scaling length ℓ = 1/M
n, where n denotes the number of spins and Mn is the total number of energy levels. Using the multifractal formalism, the probabilities are argued to reveal also multifractal
properties.

The Langevin dynamics of a self-interacting chain embedded in a quenched random medium is investigated by making use of the
generating functional method and one-loop (Hartree) approximation. We have shown how this intrinsic disorder causes different
dynamical regimes. Namely, within the Rouse characteristic time interval the anomalous diffusion shows up. The corresponding
subdiffusional dynamical exponents have been explicitly calculated and thoroughly discussed. For the larger time interval
the disorder drives the center of mass of the chain to a trap or frozen state provided that the Harris parameter, (Δ/b

We have derived the general equation for the non-ergodicity function f (p) which characterizes the amplitude of frozen Rouse modes with an index p = 2πj/N. The numerical solution of this equation has been implemented and shown that the different Rouse modes freeze up at the same
critical disorder strength Δ

This work has established eight cross-talk transitions between the two signature partner superdeformed (SD) bands in 197Pb with the EUROBALL IV spectrometer.

The lattice QCD studies indicate that the critical temperature T
c ≃ 260-280 MeV of the deconfinement phase transition in quenched QCD is considerably smaller than the lowest-lying glueball
mass m
G ≃ 1500-1700 MeV, i.e., T
c ≪ m
G. As a consequence of this large difference, the thermal excitation of the glueball in the confinement phase is strongly suppressed
by the statistical factor e
-mG/Tc ≃ 0.00207 even near T ≃ T
c. We consider its physical implication, and argue the abnormal feature of the deconfinement phase transition in quenched QCD
from the statistical viewpoint. To appreciate this, we demonstrate a statistical argument of the QCD phase transition using
the recent lattice QCD data. From the phenomenological relation between T
c and the glueball mass, the deconfinement transition is found to take place in quenched QCD before a reasonable amount of
glueballs is thermally excited. In this way, quenched QCD reveals a question “what is the trigger of the deconfinement phase
transition ?”

The temperature dependence of the surface polarization has been measured for both the planar and homeotropic orientation of
a nematic liquid crystal at a solid substrate. A conventional liquid crystal 5CB, pure and doped with an azo-dye, was used
in cells with controlled asymmetry for light absorption. The measurements have been made by a pyroelectric technique using
short pulses of a YAG laser to create a temperature increment. The latter, in turn, was measured independently by a novel
time-resolved “optical thermometer” technique monitoring temperature-dependent birefringence by a He- Ne laser beam. In accordance
with the symmetry of the order parameter, the surface polarization has different sign for the two orientations, its magnitude
ranges from -4 to +2pC/m. The same technique has been used for the measurement of the flexoelectric polarization in hybrid
cells. The sum of the flexoelectric coefficients is e

Heterotelechelic deuteropolystyrenes have been synthesised with a tertiary amine functionality at one end and a fluorocarbon
group at the other end of the polymer chain. A layer of this polymer, circa 120 ? thick, has been attached to the surface of a silicon substrate and subsequently covered with a much thicker layer of
hydrogenous polystyrene. The combination has then been annealed at 413 K under vacuum for defined times and the subsequent
distribution of the deutero heterotelechelic polymer determined using nuclear reaction analysis and neutron reflectometry.
The influences of annealing time, molecular weight and thickness of the hydrogenous polymer have been examined. Nuclear reaction
analysis showed that an excess of the heterotelechelic polymer formed at both interfaces with a larger excess remaining at
the substrate-polymer interface. When the molecular weight of the hydrogenous polymer is lower than that of the deuteropolymer,
the deutero layer is initially swollen by the hydrogenous polymer but the thickness then decreases as deutero polymer becomes
detached from the silicon substrate and an additional excess layer is eventually formed at the vacuum-polymer surface. When
the molecular weight of the hydrogenous polymer is higher, there is an initial shrinkage of the deuteropolymer layer, but
the original thickness (∼ radius of gyration of the deuteropolymer) is regained on prolonged annealing. There is no evidence
for bridging between the two interfaces by the heterotelechelic polymer. After five days annealing the volume fraction distribution
of the deuteropolymer at the silicon substrate was well described by a self-consistent field model where the only adjustable
parameter was the sticking energy of the tertiary amine group to the silicon substrate for which a value of 8k
B
T was obtained. Comparison of the dependence of the equilibrium layer thickness of the deuteropolymer on the equilibrium grafting
density at the silicon surface with the predictions of scaling theory for brush-like polymer layers suggested that the grafted
molecules were in the ideal, unperturbed brush region.

Effect of composition on the dispersion of AuxCu1-x bimetallic nanoparticles into nylon 11 matrix has been investigated. TEM, EDX, and XPS depth profiling were used for characterizing
the changes in the composition of the bimetallic particles and in the depth distribution of the particles in the nylon 11
layer caused by heat treatment in N2 atmosphere. The island-like bimetallic particles were found to be formed on the nylon 11 surface before heat treatment. The
results of XPS depth profiling revealed that, by the heat treatment, the AuxCu1-x bimetallic particles with x? 0.55 were not dispersed into the nylon 11 layer while those with x≥ 0.70 were homogeneously dispersed in the films, indicating the existence of critical composition for penetration of the
bimetallic particles. By comparing the composition and structure of the bimetallic particles, the cause of these finding is
discussed in terms of surface free energy of the particles.

In the frame work of classical mechanics, we study the nonlinear dynamics of a single ion trapped in a Penning trap perturbed
by an electrostatic sextupolar perturbation. The perturbation is caused by a deformation in the configuration of the electrodes.
By using a Hamiltonian formulation, we obtain that the system is governed by three parameters: the z-component of the canonical angular momentum P
φ - which is a constant of the motion because the perturbation we assume is axial-symmetric -, the parameter δ that determines
the ratio between the axial and the cyclotron frequencies, and the parameter a which indicates how far from the ideal design the electrodes are. We study the case P
φ = 0. By means of surfaces of section, we show that the phase space structure is made of three fundamental families of orbits:
arch, loop and box orbits. The coexistence of these kinds of orbits depends on the parameter δ. The escape is also explained on the basis of
the shape of the potential energy surface as well as of the phase space structure.

We present a scaling theory for the adsorption of a weakly charged polyelectrolyte chain in a poor solvent onto an oppositely
charged surface. Depending on the fraction of charged monomers and on the solvent quality for uncharged monomers, the globule
in the bulk of the solution has either a spherical conformation or a necklace structure. At sufficiently high surface charge
density, a chain in the globular conformation adsorbs in a flat pancake conformation due to the Coulombic attraction to the
oppositely charged surface. Different adsorption regimes are predicted depending on two screening lengths (the Debye screening
length monitored by the salt concentration and the Gouy-Chapman length monitored by the surface charge density), on the degree
of ionization of the polymer and on the solvent strength. At low bulk ionic strength, an increase in the surface charge density
may induce a transition from an adsorbed necklace structure to a uniform pancake due to the enhanced screening of the intra-chain
Coulombic repulsion by the counterions localized near the surface.
