Inorganic dusts from different herbs and spices are investigated in this study using both standard thermoluminescence measurements of integrated intensity versus temperature and measurements of the thermoluminescence emission spectra (intensity as a function of both temperature and wavelength). The importance of parti…
The dimanganese (II,II) catalase from Thermus thermophilus, MnCat(II,II), arginase from rat liver, Arg(II,II), and several dimanganese(II,II) compounds, LMn2XY2, which are functional catalase mimics, all possess a pair of coupled Mn(II) ions in their catalytic sites. For each of these, we have measured by EPR spectros…
Abstract A scale inhibitor "precipitation" squeeze is one of the two main types of treatment for preventing downhole scale deposition; the other type is an adsorption squeeze. However, unlike for the adsorption squeeze process, the mechanism for inhibitor retention within the formation through precipitation/re-dissolu…
Electrical tree growth (a long-term electrical breakdown process) has been investigated in Araldite CT200 and CT1200 epoxy resins as a function of voltage and material age (defined as the time between manufacture and testing of pin-plane samples). Reproducible and predictable electrical tree growth was obtained for bo…
Abstract It has been found that appreciable carbon black flocculation can occur in filled rubber stocks during storage or vulcanization in the absence of shear. The kinetics of this flocculation process were studied by means of low strain dynamic mechanical property and electrical conducitvity measurements. The result…
Backbond oxidation of the porous silicon (PS) surface as a result of irradiation by oxygen radicals (O*) from an electron cyclotron resonance plasma has been successfully achieved at room temperature. Increasing the O* irradiation time enhances both the photoluminescence (PL) intensity, and the oxygen related absorpti…
Specific heat, Young's moduli, and magnetic susceptibility have been measured on pieces of a single crystal of blue bronze (for which thermal expansivity was previously measured) at its 180 K charge-density-wave (CDW) transition. All quantities were analyzed using a free energy appropriate for a three-dimensional $\ma…
A new method is developed using a transparent indicator ferrimagnetic magneto-optic film with in-plane anisotropy for visualization and direct experimental study of dynamic magnetization processes and nondestructive characterization of the defect structure of magnetic multilayers. Some examples of its application to t…
Pb(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O3 (PZT) thin films were crystallized on SrTiO3 (100) and MgO (100) substrates by a sol-gel process using nonhydrolyzed metal methoxyethoxide precursors, spin coating, and rapid thermal annealing. Solid phase epitaxial growth of PZT on SrTiO3 was observed directly from the amorphous phase even at 425 °…
The effect of Sr 2+ substitution on the structure and dielectric behaviour of BaTiO 3 is reported. It is shown that the smearing of the variation of dielectric constant with temperature in such samples is not due to compositional inhomogeneities. Observation of relaxational dipolar freezing below the hump temperature…
We present evidence for the divergence of the static dielectric susceptibility in liquids as they are supercooled towards ${T}_{0}$, the temperature where the dynamics in the liquid come to a halt. This divergence occurs when the width of the imaginary part of the dielectric response approaches a finite limit derivabl…
We report the observation of visible-light emission at room temperature from high fluence (0.3–3×1017 cm−2) Si+ implanted thermal SiO2 layers grown on silicon substrates. Significant blue-light emission and an intense broad luminescent band with a peak beyond 750 nm are observed after annealing at high temperature (T≥…
Ab initio calculations of structural and electronic properties of the C(001)-(2 \ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{} 1) diamond surface are reported and discussed in direct comparison with Si(001) and Ge(001). Our results strongly favor a symmetric dimer reconstruction of C(001)-(2 \ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{} 1)…
The large interest in the properties of transition metal surfaces has been recently fostered by inelastic helium atom scattering experiments carried out by Hulpke and Luedecke. Sharp and giant anomalies in the surface phonon dispersion curves along Gamma-H and Gamma-S have been detected on W(110) and Mo(110) at a cove…
We study a new hypothetical form of solid carbon \csc, with a unit cell which is composed of the \cs \ fullerene cluster and an additional single carbon atom arranged in the zincblende structure. Using {\it ab initio} calculations, we show that this new form of solid carbon has lower energy than hyperdiamond, the rece…
The electric conductivity of yttrium-stabilized zirconia exhibits a maximum as a function of dopant (Y 3+ ) cation concentration in isothermal and isobaric conditions. In order to improve the conductivity of this important solid electrolyte, it is essential to understand the ion transport mechanisms at the molecular l…
A magnetic field is found to have strong effects on the electronic structure and bulk properties of carbon nanotubes. A field-induced metal-insulator transition is predicted for all pure nanotubes. In a weak field, nanotubes exhibit both large diamagnetic and paramagnetic responses depending on the field direction, th…
This Letter discusses the possibility of realizing half-metallic antiferromagnets, i.e., systems with 100% spin polarization of the conduction electrons without showing a net magnetization. The predictions are based on electronic structure calculations using the local density approximation.
We present a novel experimental method to measure linear viscoelastic moduli of complex fluids using dynamic light scattering. A generalized Langevin equation is used to relate the mean square displacement of a probe particle to the storage and loss moduli of the bulk complex fluid. We confirm the experimental validit…
We have used ion beam analysis and scanning near-field optical microscopy to characterize the three-dimensional domain structure of a thin film of a phase-separating polymer mixture. In the initially mixed film, there first occurs coverage of one of its surfaces by an unbroken layer of one phase; between this "wet" su…
