Anelastic anomalies (sharp variations in modulus and damping with temperature) were observed in tetragonal BaTiO3 via broadband viscoelastic spectroscopy after aging at 50 °C for 15 h. The effect was most pronounced under electrical short circuit condition, at low frequency and under small excitation strain (10−6). So…

Abstract Many publications have examined the biodegradable polymer poly(propylene fumate) (PPF) for use in tissue engineering applications. We have examined a similar crosslinkable polymer system, poly(propylene fumerate)‐ co ‐(propylene maleate) (PPFcPM), derived from maleic anhydride (MA) and 1,2‐propylene diol (PD)…

In this letter, we fabricated Co2FeAl films with perpendicular-to-plane magnetic anisotropy by cosputtering with terbium (Tb). The as-prepared (Tb+Co2FeAl) films (TCFA) consists of nanocrystalline L21 Co2FeAl and amorphous alloy of Tb(Co, Fe, and Al). The coercivity field (Hc) of the TCFA films is adjustable from 200…

A combined molybdate–phytic acid passivation treatment on galvanised steel is studied in this paper. Both copper decoration drop tests and immersion mass loss tests indicated that the combined molybdate–phytic acid passivated samples showed better corrosion resistance than that of samples treated separately by molybda…

The temperature dependence of the strain, electric field, and polarization of lead zirconate titanate ceramic under unipolar electric fields up to 1.3 kV mm−1 from −50 °C up to +200 °C is reported. An electrostrictive model is shown to describe the response to high levels of induced polarization and electric field bel…

The stress response during Pb underpotential deposition on (111)-textured Au has been examined on a cantilever beam electrode in perchloric acid supporting electrolyte. We observe a sweep rate dependence for both the individual voltammetric waves and the stress response that we attribute to kinetically controlled surf…

Ab initio study reveals that strain can influence graphene’s ballistic conductance substantially; however, the effect of biaxial strain is significantly different from that of hydrostatic strain. For hydrostatic strain, tension increases conductance while compression decreases conductance. In contrast, when biaxial co…

Phase transitions in GeTe/SnSe and Ge2Se3/SnTe are investigated using time resolved x-ray diffraction. GeTe exhibits a structural transition from rhombohedral to the cubic phase at 300 °C, which is ∼100 °C lower than that of pure GeTe. This is facilitated by incorporation of Sn from SnSe. Sn migration is observed expl…

1,10-Phenanthroline mono-N-oxide (phenO) is a product of the decomposition of tris(1,10-phenanthroline)iron(III), Fe(phen)(3)(3+), and has a slight autocatalytic effect on the overall reaction. The mechanism is proposed to involve Fe(phen)(3)(4+) as a minor intermediate. The addition of phenO significantly influences…
