Performance degradation of structural steels in nuclear environments results from the formation of a high number density of nanometre-scale defects. The defects observed in copper-based alloys are composed of vacancy clusters in the form of stacking fault tetrahedra and/or prismatic dislocation loops that impede the m…

We report a new theoretical model that accounts for the unusual magnetic properties of the cyanide cluster ([MnII(tmphen)2]3[MnIII(CN)6]2) (tmphen = 3,4,7,8-tetramethyl-1,10-phenanthroline). The model takes into account (1) the spin-orbit interaction, (2) the trigonal component of the crystal field acting on the groun…

Abstract A new aromatic asymmetrical ether diamine, 5‐(4‐aminophenoxy)‐1‐naphthylamine, was synthesized through the nucleophilic displacement of 4‐chloronitrobenzene with the potassium phenolate of 5‐amino‐1‐naphthol in dimethylformamide, followed by hydrazine palladium‐catalyzed reduction. A series of novel aromatic…

The first two steps of methane dissociation on Rh(111) have been investigated using density-functional theory, focusing on the dependence of the catalyst's reactivity on the atomic coordination of the active metal site. We find that, although the barrier for the dehydrogenation of methane (CH4 --> CH3 + H) decreases a…

The effects of different concentrations of Mn 2+ , Mg 2+ , Al 3+ , Fe 3+ , La 3+ , and Nb 5+ on the dielectric and tunable properties of Ba 0.6 Sr 0.4 TiO 3 ceramics were investigated. It was found that doping in small amounts with acceptor ions such as Mg 2+ , Fe 3+ , and Al 3+ could meliorate the dielectric properti…

Dielectric relaxation and PVT measurements were carried out on propylene carbonate. From these, we show that thermal energy exerts a stronger influence than volume on the temperature dependence of the dynamic properties. Data obtained at all temperatures and pressures superimpose, when expressed as a function of T-1 V…

Aligned single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) and hierarchical SWNT assembly were fabricated by electrospinning. The high fiber elongation and high DC electric field applied during the electrospinning process result in the orientation of the SWNTs along the axial direction of the fiber. The alignment of the electrops…
