Demands for thermal control in IC chips are more rigorous with increasing power dissipation in electronic devices. The thermal interface material forms an important passage for efficient heat transfer in the chip, and a study has been done to analyze the thermal performance of a particular type of polymeric thermal in…

Abstract A tripodal hexadentate ligand containing three imidazole groups gives spin-crossover iron complexes in both the +II and the +III oxidation states. The tetrafluoroborate salt of the Fe(II) complex shows a gradual spin transition in the temperature range 110–270 K. The corresponding Fe(III) complex shows a spin…

We analyze refraction of electromagnetic wave packets on passing from an isotropic positive to an isotropic negative-refractive-index medium. We definitively show that in all cases the energy is always refracted negatively. For localized wave packets, the group refraction is also always negative.

Abstract We report a novel water-free processing of monodisperse and pure Cu2S nanocrystals (NCs) by thermolysis of copper–dodecanethiol complex. The narrow size distribution led to the formation of ordered self-assemblies with various well-defined structures. However, unclose-packing structure was observed as a predo…

We report on the magnetic properties and magnetocaloric effects of Mn5Ge3−xGax compounds with x=0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.6 and 0.9. All samples crystallize in the hexagonal Mn5Si3-type structure with space group P63/mcm and order ferromagnetically. The Curie temperature of these compounds decreases with increasing x, fro…

Nanometre-sized diamonds (nanodiamonds) are to date the most abundant presolar grains in primitive meteorites. They are therefore presumed to be an abundant component of the dust in the interstellar medium. What then are the expected spectroscopic signatures of these grains in the interstellar medium? In order to answ…

Abstract Modulation of luminescence intensity triggered by light input is demonstrated. The system consists of a Zn–porphyrin and an azopyridine derivative, which axially coordinates to Zn–porphyrin and quenches its fluorescence more efficiently in the trans-form than in the cis-form. Thus, light-induced isomerization…

Nucleation and growth of islands in epitaxy is simulated using a continuum phase-field model. In addition to local density of adatoms, a local phase-field variable, varying in the real space, is introduced to describe the epitaxial islands. Evolution of this phase field is determined by a time-dependent Ginzburg-Landa…

Summary The silicified bipartite cell walls of diatoms (Bacillariophyceae) are produced in intracellular compartments by precipitation from supersaturated Si(OH) 4 and are then externalized. Fossil evidence of silicification is for marine, probably neritic, centric diatoms from approx. 120 Mya. Regardless of the initi…

The fuel systems in advanced aircraft will subject the fuel to more severe thermal stress and increased recirculation than in current designs. This work was undertaken as part of a study to determine the impact of copper contamination on the suitability of current JP-5 fuels in such advanced aircraft systems. Three is…
