Six polylactides, polymerized with Salen−Al−OCH 3 initiator and having optical purities between 43% and 100%, were analyzed by differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction, and optical microscopy, following various crystallization conditions. It was found that each of those polylactides can crystallize, even t…

An ab initio study on three hypothetical nitrogen−oxygen clusters is presented. The investigated systems are N 2 O 3, N 4 O 6, and N 8 O 12 with highly symmetric geometries, D 3 h, T d, and O h symmetry, respectively. Calculations were performed at SCF and MP2 level (MP2, for the two smallest clusters only). Several b…

Traditionally it was thought that the unidirectional strength in the fiber direction of fiber dominated composites was not influenced by the matrix material. As long as the fiber was not affected then the strength would remain. However this thesis will challange that belief. The unidirectional strength in the fiber di…

The universal form for the average scattering intensity from systems undergoing order-disorder transitions is found by numerical integration of the Langevin dynamics. The result is nearly identical for simulations involving two different forms of the local contribution to the free energy, supporting the idea that the…

Precise microwave measurements of sample conductivity, dielectric, and magnetic properties are routinely performed with cavity perturbation measurements. These methods require the accurate determination of quality factor and resonant frequency of microwave resonators. Seven different methods to determine the resonant…

We present an ab initio exploration of the phenomena which will become important for freestanding structures of silicon as they are realized on the nanoscale. We find that not only surface but also edge effects are important considerations in structures of dimensions on the order of 3 nm. Specifically, for long nanosc…

Multiresolution analyses based upon interpolets, interpolating scaling functions introduced by Deslauriers and Dubuc, are particularly well-suited to physical applications because they allow exact recovery of the multiresolution representation of a function from its sample values on a finite set of points in space. We…

An x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy system with a laser-plasma x-ray source is shown to have energy resolution high enough to observe chemical shifts of Si 2p electrons in SiO2, Si3N4, and pure Si. A boron nitride (BN) plasma x-ray source is produced by irradiation of 100 mJ Q-switched YAG laser pulses. A single line…

A detailed investigation of with a very small radius of the A-site cations reveals the occurrence of a charge-ordering transition in the paramagnetic state, at a relatively high temperature of 260 K. The orthorhombic lattice distortion, as measured by the dimensionless index D , is large over the entire 300-100 K rang…
