We have measured the diffusion of deuterated polystyrene of molecular weight $90\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{3}$ in various matrices of hydrogenated polystyrene as a function of distance from an attractive interface, oxide-covered silicon. Surprisingly long-range effects are observed. Diffusion rates an ord…
Filters fabricated from metalized polyimide have been specified for a number of x-ray astronomy missions, including the Advanced X-ray Astrophysics Facility (AXAF), the x-ray spectrometer (XRS) on Astro-E, the Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE), and the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES). Polyim…
A numerical method for the evaluation of magnetic iron losses in steel laminations used in electrical machines is described. The magnetodynamic model for the magnetic field strength H, derived from the Maxwell equations, is coupled with the Preisach theory, describing the hysteresis behaviour. The resulting highly non…
The compressional wave velocity in molten iron containing 5 percent nickel and 10 percent sulfur increased with increasing temperature. This anomalous behavior was determined to be attributable to the presence of sulfur, which conditions the formation of large molecular units in the liquid. Temperature-induced breakup…
Blends of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polypropylene (PP) at compositions 20/80 and 80/20 were modified with three different styrene–ethylene/butyl–ene-styrene (SEBS) triblock copolymers with the aim of improving the compatibility and in particular the toughness of the blends. The compatibilizers involved an u…
We report first-principles frozen-phonon calculations for the determination of the force-free geometry and the dynamical matrix of the five Raman-active A1g modes in YBa2Cu3O7. To establish the shape of the phonon potentials atomic forces are calculated within the LAPW method. Two different schemes - the local density…
In the present article, chitin from crab shell was systematically deacetylated using a NaOH treatment with control of the reaction time. The degree of deacetylation, monitored using solid-state NMR, revealed that the reaction was pseudo-first order. Based on this, swollen and NaOH-saturated particles are proposed as t…
Small structural perturbations in the enzyme isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) were made in order to evaluate the contribution of precise substrate alignment to the catalytic power of an enzyme. The reaction trajectory of IDH was modified (i) after the adenine moiety of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate was cha…
Highly polarization-selective diffractive optical elements for use in optical interconnection and routing systems have been fabricated by the wet etching of pairs of calcite substrates and characterized experimentally. We show that when an index-matching polymer is used to fill the gap between the two substrates, subs…
We describe a method of fabricating multilevel diffractive optics by excimer laser ablation. A portion of a chrome mask containing many patterns is illuminated by 193-nm laser light and imaged by an objective lens onto a poly(imide) substrate. Ablation of an entire single pattern is achieved in a single laser pulse. M…
In the work a macroscopic equation of yield stress of steel is showed. We have used a new thermo-elastic and thermo-visco-plastic material. The model takes into account the history of the material and a possibility of phase change in it to occur, with temperature-dependent material properties. An examplary to calculat…
Diffractive optical elements with blazed profiles can, in theory, have 100% relative efficiency. We review several methods for making such elements and compare their advantages and limitations. Our emphasis is on processes to produce elements other than those with approximate, stepped surfaces, such as binary optical…
Free convection in liquid metals is of significant practical interest to the crystal-growing community since the adverse effects of convective instabilities in the melt phase can be frozen into the solid product. Here, we present the results of a combined numerical and experimental study of steady convective flows in…
We demonstrate the fabrication of binary, multilevel, and blazed diffractive structures by a fast and flexible direct-write process by using an excimer-laser-based tabletop micromachining workstation with an integrated optical surface profiler.
High-fidelity diffractive surfaces have been generated with single-point diamond-turning techniques. A key to the success of this technique is the ability to shape the diamond tool tip to provide the optimum phase-relief profile, given manufacturing constraints. Replication technology is used to transfer the phase-rel…
A novel beam-steering device that makes use of a nematic liquid crystal (LC) is proposed and demonstrated. The beam-steering function is attained with a LC microlens with a divided hole-patterned electrode structure (DE-LC microlens). Optical properties of the DE-LC microlens are investigated and three-dimensional var…
An extension of the Kramers-Kronig method for treatment of polarized infrared reflectance spectra from the face of low-symmetry crystals, where directions of principal dielectric axes depend on frequency, is proposed. It is shown, how to obtain the frequency dependencies of the complex reflectivity tensor components,…
The phase separation process in mixtures containing two immiscible liquids and a surfactant was investigated in two dimensions by numerically integrating a time dependent Ginzburg–Landau model. The model free energy was constructed from two scalar and one vector order parameter fields. The scalar fields describe, resp…
The authors present an equivalent magnetic circuit for a solenoid linear variable differential transformer. Using magnetic circuit theory, the calculations for its magnetic circuit reluctance, mutual inductance, output voltage and sensitivity are provided. Experimental tests are used to verify the calculations.
A new yield function formalism is developed for isotropic materials. A spectrum of forms are inclusive to the general form that has two yield parameters. One parameter is that of a scale type involving uniform expansion or contraction of the yield function. The other is a non-dimensional shape parameter that controls…
