Scalar diffraction theory is frequently considered inadequate for predicting diffraction efficiencies for grating applications where lambda/d>0.1. It has also been stated that scalar theory imposes energy upon the evanescent diffracted orders. These notions, as well as several other common misconceptions, are driven m…

All possible pseudotetrahedral, stable polyhalocubanes were prepared, and their structures were proven by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. Parity violating energy differences (DeltaEpv) and vibrational frequency shifts were computed. The DeltaEpv values are predicted to be one to two orders of magnitude sma…

Abstract Thin solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), with a planar multi‐layer structure, typically exhibit curvature behavior and develop residual stresses originating from the thermal mismatch of the materials involved. The curvature effects oppose successful stack operation, which also relies on the permanent physical con…

The relationship between strain rate sensitivity and activation volume for face-centered-cubic metals is proposed based on the bow-out model of single dislocation from its source, which gives reasonable prediction of the enhanced strain rate sensitivity that occurs in nanostructured and ultrafine grained Ni and Cu.
