Inertial cavitation has been implicated as the primary mechanism for a host of emerging applications. In all these applications, the main concern is to induce cavitation in perfectly controlled locations in the field; this means specifically to be able to achieve the cavitation threshold at the geometrical focus of th…

Abstract A solution of a polyimide (PI, Matrimid® 5218) in dimethylacetamide was electrospun, and carbonization of the electrospun nonwoven fabrics produced carbon nanofiber fabrics. The effects of iron(III) acetylacetonate (AAI) on carbonization and the resulting morphology were also investigated. The carbonization b…

Cross-linked polymer networks, irrespective of the method of cross-linking, contain a fraction of unattached polymer (sol macromolecules). During swelling in a solvent of low molecular weight, the sol macromolecules participate in the swelling process as an athermal solvent. Also, sol macromolecules begin to diffuse o…

Abstract Racemic copolymers of polylactic acid were investigated to determine the effect of copolymer ratio on melting point, degree of crystallinity, mechanical properties, and processing behavior. The copolymer ratio was found to have a strong influence on the crystallization behavior of the polymer. In addition to…

This paper investigates correlation properties of fluctuations in fatigue crack growth of polycrystalline materials, such as ductile alloys, that are commonly encountered in structures and machinery components of complex electromechanical systems. The model of crack damage measure indicates that the fluctuations of fa…

Transmission of information using the spin of the electron as well as its charge requires a high degree of spin polarization at surfaces. At surfaces however this degree of polarization can be quenched by competing interactions. Using a combination of surface sensitive x-ray and tunneling probes, we show for the quasi…

Abstract The synthesis of PbSe/PbS and PbSe/PbSe x S 1– x core/shell nanocrystals (NCs) with luminescence quantum efficiencies of 45–55 % is reported. PbSe/PbS NCs are prepared via a two‐stage process, while the PbSe/PbSe x S 1– x NCs are formed in a single‐stage procedure. The core/shell NCs exhibit an energy tuning…

Lanthanide metals are a particular class of magnetic materials in which the magnetic moments are carried mainly by the localized electrons of the 4f shell. They are frequently found in technically relevant systems, to achieve, e.g., high magnetic anisotropy. Magneto-optical methods in the x-ray range are well suited t…

Polarized Fourier-Raman spectra of K, Rb and Tl hydrogen phthalates are studied at the 1064 nm excitation. The frequencies of internal vibrations in hydrogen phthalates are assigned to vibrations of orthophenylene and carboxyl groups. A substitution of K for Rb and Tl gave rise to a small low-frequency shift of vibrat…
