The nickel hydride complex [Cp'Ni(μ-H)]2 (1, Cp' = 1,2,3,4-tetraisopropylcyclopentadienyl) is found to have a strikingly short Ni-Ni distance of 2.28638(3) Å. Variable temperature and field magnetic measurements indicate an unexpected triplet ground state for 1 with a large zero-field splitting of +90 K (63 cm(-1)). E…

The cusp-like temperature dependence of the Debye-Waller factor or non-ergodicity parameter f(Q)(T) at some temperature T(c) above T(g) found by experiments in several fragile glassformers has been considered as critical evidence for validity of the ideal Mode Coupling Theory (MCT). A comprehensive review of experimen…

A method was developed for aligning interference fringes generated in interference lithography to the vertical {111} planes of <110> oriented silicon wafers. The alignment error is 0.036°. This high precision method makes it possible to combine interference lithography with anisotropic wet etch technique for the fabri…

The uniform dispersion of carbon nanotubes in epoxy resin is one of the key factors to achieve the composites with desirable mechanical and physical property enforcement. However, the widely used dispersion methods have their own respective limitations in pursuing satisfactory nanotube dispersion. Herein, a new disper…

Metrical insights from X-ray scattering studies of dense fluid phases (known as "third" phases) in the Keggin heteropolyacid-tri-n-butyl phosphate (TBP)-n-alkane system are provided. Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) experiments reveal inter-acid correlation peaks corresponding to average centre-of-mass to centre-of…

Lanthanide-containing nanoparticles have attracted much attention due to their unique optical properties and potential in nanotechnological applications. An amphiphilic block copolymer of poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(ε-caprolactone) methyl ether (mPEG-PCL) was functionalized with a dipicolinic acid (dpa) moiety and co…

Pretreatment of the sisal fiber (SF) grafting with L‐lactide (LA) monomer via a ring‐opening polymerization catalyzed by a Sn(II)‐based catalyst was performed to improve the interfacial adhesion between SF and poly (lactic acid) (PLA). Biocomposites from LA‐grafted SF (SF‐ g ‐LA) and PLA were prepared by compression m…

Accurate atomic displacement parameters (ADPs) are a good indication of high-quality diffraction data. Results from the newly commissioned time-of-flight Laue diffractometer TOPAZ at the SNS are presented. Excellent agreement is found between ADPs derived independently from the neutron and X-ray data emphasizing the h…

Polymer coatings are widely used to protect metals from corrosion. Coating adhesion to the base material is critical for good protection, but coatings may fail because of cathodic delamination. Most of the experimental studies on cathodic delamination use polymers to study the corrosion behavior under conditions where…

The effect of alloying elements on crack propagation behaviour was investigated using extruded Mg–Ca and Mg–Zn binary alloys, with and without {} type deformation twins (DT). These alloys had similar microstructures grain boundary (GB) structure, basal texture, and grain size of ~30 μm. Most of the cracks in the Mg–Ca…

We announce and sketch the rigorous proof of a new kind of anomalous (or sub-ballistic) Lieb-Robinson (LR) bound for an isotropic $XY$ chain in a quasiperiodic transversal magnetic field. Instead of the usual effective light cone $|x|\ensuremath{\le}v|t|$, we obtain $|x|\ensuremath{\le}v|t{|}^{\ensuremath{\alpha}}$ fo…

Polypyrrole (PPy)/montmorillonite (MMT) nanocompounds were prepared by in situ chemical oxidative polymerization of pyrrole in the presence of MMT. The results indicate PPy is intercalated into MMT interlayers and the morphology of obtained PPy in nanocompounds is changed to flake‐like rather than granular particles a…
