The fluid-phase behavior of binary mixtures of cholesterol with phosphatidylcholines is investigated using magnetic resonance methods. Phospholipid biradicals provide the electron spin resonance spectroscopic resolution of two immiscible fluid phases in the dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine-cholesterol system. Isotropic chemical shifts of the phospholipid carbonyl carbons in binary mixtures with c...

Some binary lipid mixtures form coexisting liquid phases when spread at the air/water interface. This work describes the pressure-composition phase diagrams of binary mixtures of four unsaturated phosphatidylcholines with dihydrocholesterol. These four binary mixtures have critical compositions of approximately fifty mole percent, and average critical exponents of 0.25 +/- 0.07. The data can al...

We developed a solid additive (uv-9) showing immiscibility with active layers for morphology control, PCE of 17.18% was achieved, which is much higher than those devices without any additives. Moreover, the generality uv-9 has been verified.

Mixtures of ideal polymers with hard spheres whose diameters are smaller than the radius of gyration of the polymer, exhibit extensive immiscibility. The interfacial tension between demixed phases of these mixtures is estimated, as is the barrier to nucleation. The barrier is found to scale linearly with the radius of the polymer, causing it to become large for large polymers. Thus for large po...

Bose-Einstein condensates have been prepared in long-lived metastable excited states. Two complementary types of metastable states were observed. The first is due to the immiscibility of multiple components in the condensate, and the second to local suppression of spin-relaxation collisions. Relaxation via recondensation of noncondensed atoms, spin relaxation, and quantum tunneling was observed...
