The static electric dipole polarizabilities of Nb2–Nb27 have been measured via a molecular beam deflection method. The clusters display per-atom polarizabilities that vary between 5.4±0.3 Å3 per atom (Nb10) to 37.7±0.3 Å3 (Nb13). The factor of ∼7 variation observed in the per-atom polarizabilities is the largest obser…

An isolation technology for radio frequency (rf) applications based on unoxidized porous Si (PS) is demonstrated. This study examines all the important issues pertinent to incorporating PS with Si very-large-scale integration (VLSI) technology, where PS is used as a semi-insulating material. Specifically, the issues o…

Optical properties of cobalt-doped zinc aluminosilicate transparent glass ceramics in the visible – near-infrared (IR) spectral range have been studied. It was shown that the absorption and luminescence properties of these glass ceramics are defined mainly by tetrahedrally coordinated Co2+ ions located in ZnAl2O4 gahn…

Effects of substrate temperature (Ts) on nanostructure and band structure of sputtered Co3O4 thin films were investigated. The lattice constant of Co3O4 sputtered at room temperature was longer than the reported bulk Co3O4 value. It decreased with increasing Ts and approached the reported value. Average grain size of…

We propose a method to determine the indium concentrations x and y in the InyAl1−yAs/InxGa1−xAs metamorphic structures. This approach is based on the combination of two experimental techniques: (i) reciprocal space mapping (RSM) to determine the average In composition in the InAlAs layers and (ii) transmission electro…

Collective excitations have been observed in liquid aluminum oxide at high temperatures by combining a containerless sample environment with inelastic x-ray scattering. The excitation spectra show a well-defined triplet peak structure at lower wave vectors Q (1 to 6 nanometers-1) and a single quasi-elastic peak at hig…

In this article we report the thermodynamic investigations on the Ericsson cycle with application on RNi2 (R=Nd, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, and Er) series. Besides the Zeeman and exchange interactions, these compounds present an important contribution from crystalline electrical field interaction. The Ericsson coefficient of per…

Abstract Acrylic acid was grafted to ozone‐treated poly(3‐hydroxybutyric acid) (PHB) and poly(3‐hydroxybutyric acid‐ co ‐3‐hydroxyvaleric acid) (PHBV) membranes. The resulting membranes were further grafted with chitosan (CS) or chitooligosaccharide (COS) via esterification. These CS‐ or COS‐grafted membranes showed a…

We analyze the stability of particles at liquid–fluid interfaces as a function of their shape and orientation with respect to the interface plane. To do this we apply the generalized Young’s equation, including the line and surface tensions, to the specific shapes of prolate and oblate particles. We show that particle…
