Chemical (compositional) gradients in thin films cause surface tension gradients. It is reported and analyzed how the surface flow (Marangoni flow) induced by these gradients influences the spreading and coalescence behavior of sessile droplets [1-3].

In my group a number of new functional materials such as La1-xCexCrO3 (materials with tunable band gap and magnetic properties), CeScO3 (with unusual reversible conversion to fluorite lattice), BiFeO3 derivatives (multiferroic materials), FeTiTaO6 (a new lead free ferroelectric relaxor material), GdSc1-xInxO¬3 (tunable dielectrics) have been prepared and characterized. Perovskite type materials with trivalent Ce3+ could be successfully prepared from precursor powders by a controlled heating under low PO2. Several interesting pyrochlore based oxygen storage materials, viz. Ce2Zr2O7+x (x = 0.0 to 1.0) and Gd2-xCexZr2O7 (x = 0.0 to 2.0), have been prepared. The retention of an ordered cationic sub-lattice even up to fully oxidized composition (Ce2Zr2O8) was established by Neutron Diffraction studies. A composite approach is also being followed to design new functional materials. Thin films of some of these materials have been fabricated by using a drop-on-demand ink-jet printing technique. Recently 1D BaTiO3-Co was prepared by a template method, which showed a weak magnetic-dielectric coupling. A major focus of this talk will be on role of synthesis in preparation of new materials.

Grand Unification of Neutron Stars

McGill U.Organizer Nella and Leon Benoziyo Center for AstrophysicsContact Abstract Show full text abstract about The last decade has shown us that the observational properti...» The last decade has shown us that the observational properties of neutron stars are remarkably diverse. From the dramatic magnetars to Rotating Radio Transients, from radio pulsars to Isolated Neutron Stars, from Central Compact Objects to millisecond pulsars, observational manifestations of neutron stars are surprisingly varied, with most properties totally unpredicted. The challenge is to establish an overarching physical theory of neutron stars and their birth properties that can explain this great diversity. Here I survey the disparate neutron stars classes, describe their properties, and highlight recent results. I describe the current status of efforts at physical "grand unification" of this wealth of observational phenomena, and show that neutron star magnetic field strength must play a key role.
