We present an ab initio study of the formation of quasiperiodic Bi monolayers on the tenfold surface of a decagonal Al-Co-Ni quasicrystal. The structural model of the surface has been derived from the recently resolved structure of the $W\text{\ensuremath{-}}(\mathrm{Al}\mathrm{Co}\mathrm{Ni})$ approximant phase. As t…

The development of a tailored microstructure is considered essential for the development of anode‐supported intermediate temperature‐solid oxide fuel cells (IT‐SOFCs) as it is expected to enhance kinetics at the triple phase boundary. In this study, the application of an in situ foaming technique for the preparation o…

A theoretical B3LYP study, adopting a polarized double-zeta quality Gaussian basis set, was performed to characterize acidic chabazite by using the periodic CRYSTAL03 program. Different Si/Al loadings (1/1, 3/1, 5/1, and 11/1) were considered, and for each of them the most stable aluminum distribution and location of…

Density functional theory calculations are performed on small cationic transition metal doped silver clusters, Ag5X+ (X = Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, and Ni) using the B3LYP and BP86 functionals. Several two-dimensional and three-dimensional isomers with the dopant at a high coordinated site are found to be close in en…

The influence of binder systems on the structure and properties of alumina ceramics was examined. Two types of binders were used to prepare alumina granules by spray drying: poly‐acrylic acid (PAA) and poly‐vinyl alcohol (PVA). PVA segregated to the surface and subsurface of the granules, whereas PAA was homogeneously…

We present simulations on a binary blend of bead-spring polymer chains. The introduction of monomer size disparity yields very different relaxation times for each component of the blend. Competition between two different arrest mechanisms, namely, bulklike dynamics and confinement, leads to an anomalous relaxation sce…

Abstract A series of novel composites and nanocomposites xerogels based on acrylic acid, sepiolite and N , N ′‐methylenebisacrylamide were prepared using a solution polymerization technique at 70 °C. The quality of dispersion of the micronized sepiolite in the monomer is the crucial point for obtaining nanocomposites.…

CO adsorption on small neutral, anionic, and cationic silver clusters Ag(n) (n = 1-7) has been studied with use of the PW91PW91 density functional theory (DFT) method. The adsorption of CO on-top site, among various possible sites, is energetically preferred irrespective of the charge state of the silver cluster. The…

The effects of flexibility and chemical composition in the variation of the glass transition temperature are obtained by using the Lindemann criteria, which relates melting temperature with atomic vibrations, and rigidity theory. Using this criteria and that floppy modes produce an excess of vibrational states at low…
