We study the current flow paths between two edges in a random resistor network on a $L\times L$ square lattice. Each resistor has resistance $e^{ax}$, where $x$ is a uniformly-distributed random variable and $a$ controls the broadness of the distribution. We find (a) the scaled variable $u\equiv L/a^ν$, where $ν$ is t…
Structural and solid-state changes of piroxicam in its crystalline form under mechanical stress were investigated using cryogenic grinding, powder X-ray diffractometry, diffuse-reflectance solid-state ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, variable-temperature solid-state (13)C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and…
We present a theoretical study on the band structures of the electron constrained to move along triply-periodic minimal surfaces. Three well known surfaces connected via Bonnet transformations, namely P-, D-, and G-surfaces, are considered. The six-dimensional algebra of the Bonnet transformations [C. Oguey and J.-F.…
The growth of ultra-thin layers of Fe on the vicinal Pt(997) surface is studied by thermal energy He atom scattering (TEAS) and Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) in the temperature range between 175K and 800K. We find three distinct regimes of qualitatively different growth type: Below 450K the formation of a smooth f…
In this paper we report studies on the correlation between the presence and distribution of cation vacancies in doped manganites (La,M)MnO3+delta (where M = Na, Ca) and their magnetic properties. Results indicate that cation vacancies are distributed differently for the different crystal structures and dopant ion type…
Two different ferromagnetic-paramagnetic transitions are detected in $(\mathrm{Ga},\mathrm{Mn})\mathrm{As}/\mathrm{GaAs}(001)$ epilayers from ac susceptibility measurements: transition at a higher temperature results from $(\mathrm{Ga},\mathrm{Mn})\mathrm{As}$ cluster phases with [110] uniaxial anisotropy and that at…
We report the chemical synthesis of Fe-core/Au-shell nanoparticles by a reverse micelle method, and the investigation of their growth mechanisms and oxidation-resistant characteristics. The core-shell structure and the presence of the Fe & Au phases have been confirmed by transmission electron microscopy, energy dispe…
The effective pair potentials of liquid nickel have been derived by means of the inverse self-consistent method from the experimental diffraction data. The potentials provide highly accurate coincidence of experimental and simulated structural properties. The statistical analysis of Voronoi polyhedral and Delaunau sim…
The most important property of a fluid is its viscosity, it determines the flow properties. If one simulates a fluid using a particle model, calculating the viscosity accurately is difficult because it is a collective property. In this article we describe a new method that has a better signal to noise ratio than exist…
Abstract Gold nanorods with well‐defined aspect ratios are homogeneously incorporated within poly(vinyl alcohol) thin films and subsequently aligned by heating and stretching the nanocomposite films. The spatial alignment of the nanorods is directly proved using transmission electron microscopy. The polarization‐depen…
Abstract We investigate a new method for forming large‐area (> cm 2 ) ordered monolayers of colloidal nanocrystal quantum dots (QDs). The QD thin films are formed in a single step by spin‐casting a mixed solution of aromatic organic materials and aliphatically capped QDs. The two different materials phase separate…
Tissue engineering holds promise in treating injured tendons and ligaments by replacing the injured tissues with "engineered tissues" with identical mechanical and functional characteristics. A biocompatible, biodegradable, porous scaffold with optimized architecture, sufficient surface area for cell attachment, growt…
Silicon photonics, especially that based upon silicon on insulator (SOI), has recently attracted a great deal of attention since it offers an opportunity for low cost optoelectronic solutions for applications ranging from telecommunications down to chip-to-chip interconnects. The presentation will give an overview of…
Abstract Laboratory sulfide stress cracking (SSC) tests were performed on specimens taken from a QT-900 coiled-tubing test string in an attempt to define zones of acceptable sour service. SSC tests were performed at room temperature in brine fluid environments with H2S partial pressures (PH2S) ranging from 0.01 to 10…
Spin alignments in heterospin chains are examined from numerical calculations of model spin Hamiltonians. The Hamiltonians of the heterospin chains mimic an open-shell molecular assemblage composed of an organic biradical in a singlet (S = 0) ground state and a doublet (S = 1/2) monoradical, which are coupled by inter…
Surface effects on the phase separation dynamics, morphologies, and electro-optic properties of thin polymer-dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) cells are investigated. Four types of surface alignment layers were studied: ITO only, Polyimide (PI) without rubbing, homogeneous cell, and 90° twisted nematic (TN) cell. The IT…
Very high thermal to electric conversion efficiencies have been reported previously with thermal diode structures in which a thin n-type emitter layer is formed on the hot side of a thick near-intrinsic thermoelectric semiconductor. The figure of merit derived from direct measurements of electrical parameters and heat…
In this study, a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model is applied to study the airflow patterns inside the commingling jets, for different configurations. The CFD package, FLUENT 6.1, is used to predict the two-dimensional flow field inside a yarn channel. The parameters viz. velocity profile, pressure gradient, an…
We use a first-principles calculation and small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) to investigate the mechanism and the nanosize products of the sol-gel reaction with diphenylsilanediol (DPD) and 3-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (MEMO) precursors in synthesizing a hybrid waveguide material. It is predicted that switc…
A model system for classical fluids out of equilibrium, referred to as a dissipative particles dynamics (DPD) solid, is studied by analytical and simulation methods. The time evolution of a DPD particle is described by a fluctuating heat equation. This DPD solid with transport based on collisional transfer (high-densi…
