There are relatively few applications in the market that utilize SMA considering the large number of patents filed. This can be partly explained by the lack of design tools able to correctly predict SMA behavior. Due to the highly non-linear behavior of SMA, classical methods of design are inefficient. Furthermore, SM…

Two- and three-dimensional kinetic Monte Carlo simulations were used to model the deposition of a hyperthermal molecular beam at varying angles of incidence. The simulations incorporate realistic deposition and diffusional moves, and feature many-layer growth for large systems containing up to 80 000 atoms. Kinetic Mo…

The four-electron reduction of dioxygen to water by trinuclear copper clusters is of great biological significance. Recently we reported the crystal structure of a trinuclear model complex in which the three coppers provide the four electrons necessary to fully reduce dioxygen, generating two μ 3 -oxo bridges. This co…

In this article we explore the relationship between the plasma-phase chemistry and deposit in the plasma deposition of acrylic acid. This is achieved through systematic variation of some of the plasma deposition variables, termed “processing parameters.” The surface chemical composition of deposits has been investigat…

A flash-annealing method has been developed that increases the diffraction limits, and simultaneously decreases the mosaicity of glycerol kinase crystals. This technique utilizes brief thawing and rapid freezing cycles of the crystal in the cold nitrogen stream. The effective resolution limits increased almost by 0.8…

The electrochemical characteristics and product distribution for a ceria‐based solid oxide fuel cell using hydrogen sulfide as the fuel were examined. The cell studied had the configuration , air. Low anode overpotentials and high exchange current densities (>60 mA/cm 2 in some instances) were observed. An analysis of…

The aggregate stability of several surface soils from Thessaly plain, Central Greece, was studied using an instability index which classified the soils according to the stability of their aggregates to water. This index was correlated to the basic soil properties influencing aggregate stability. It was found that soil…

Presence of H2S in a carburizing atmosphere causes S-adsorption which retards carbon transfer and deposition and can suppress metal dusting of iron and steels. In the latter process cementite Fe3C is an intermediate, graphite deposition would initiate its decomposition but graphite nucleation is prevented by adsorbed…

Electric field induced ion drift processes in alkali‐borosilicate glasses play a key role in the silicon‐glass or metal‐glass compound formation in anodic bonding processes. By means of ex situ and in situ ion‐beam analysis, which allows a quantitative depth profiling of different elements, the formation of anodic, al…
