We present a non-linear elastic model of a coherent transition with discontinuous volume change in an isotropic solid. The model reproduces the anomalous thermodynamics typical of coherent equilibrium including intrinsic hysteresis (for a pressure driven experiment) and a negative bulk modulus. The novelty of the mode…
The development of microdamage under the deformation conditions of high temperature creep, cold metal forming, superplastic forming, and hot metal forming has been reviewed and discussed, and typical constitutive equations developed to model the individual damage mechanisms are summarized. Based on the microstructural…
A low power laser beam is used to induce large and fast variations in the shape of a polymer film due to photoinduced contraction and expansion of the polymer film surface subject to the beam. The direction of the photoinduced bend or twist of the polymer can be reversed by changing the polarization of the beam. Thus…
Novel hollow mesoporous silica spheres (HMSs) with uniform size and morphology have been successfully synthesized in a facile route using poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as co-templates at room temperature. XRD, N 2 adsorption–desorption analysis, FE-SEM, and TEM are used for the…
Semiconductor microcavities offer unique means of controlling light-matter interactions, which have led to the development of a wide range of applications in optical communications and inspired proposals for quantum information processing and computational schemes. Studies of spin dynamics in microcavities - a new and…
The connection of strength of magnetic interactions and type ordering the magnetic moments with crystal chemical characteristics in low-dimensional magnets is investigated. The new method to calculate the sign and relative strength of magnetic interactions in low-dimensional systems on the basis of the structural data…
Based on experimental observations in A{x}MO{2} (A = Na, Li; M = Co, Ni), a model for suppression of magnetic frustration by electron doping in a nearest-neighbour antiferromagnetic triangular lattice is presented. It is found that frustration can be quantified, as determined by geometry and bond-counting, and its mag…
Recent experiments demonstrated very low percolation thresholds for carbon nanotube composites signified by steep increases in electrical conductivity at very low nanotube loadings. By contrast, thermal transport measurements, even on the same samples, showed no signature of the percolation threshold. These contrastin…
Percolation conductivity of a stick network depends on alignment as well as concentration. We show that both dependences exhibit critical (power-law) behavior, and study the alignment threshold in detail. The highest conductivity occurs for slightly aligned, rather than isotropic, sticks. Experiments on single wall ca…
We have measured the thermal resistance of a 152‐nm-diameter carbon nanofiber before and after a platinum layer was deposited on the contacts between the nanofiber and the measurement device. The contact resistance was reduced by the platinum coating for about 9–13% of the total thermal resistance of the nanofiber sam…
After theoretical determination of the internal structural coordinates in Li$_2$Pd$_3$B, we calculate and analyze its electronic structure and obtain the frequencies of the two $A_g$ phonons (40.6 meV for nearly pure Li mode, 13.0 meV for the strongly mixed Pd-Li mode). Pd can be ascribed a $4d^{10}$ configuration, bu…
We consider the spectrum S(q,t) and field correlation function f(q,t) of light quasielastically scattered from diffusing optical probes in complex viscoelastic fluids. Relationships between the single-scattering f_1(q,t) and the multiple-scattering f_m(t) are examined. We show that it is fundamentally impossibly to in…
Abstract Intercalation of tris(2,2′-bipyridine)ruthenium(II), Ru(bpy)32+, into a layered perovskite derived from Aurivillius phase Bi2SrTa2O9 was successfully achieved by a guest ion-exchange method using n-C6H13NH3+–SrTa2O7 hybrid compound as an intermediate. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that the structure of…
The CH3NH2 molecule has been considered as either an important intermediate in methane and ammonia mixtures or a precursor in methylamine and hydrogen mixtures in the synthesis of carbon nitride thin films. The fast Hydrogen (H) abstraction from CH3NH2 is an important process involved in the formation of HCN or CNH in…
Electric-field-induced transient pore formation (electroporation) in synthetic unilamellar vesicles is utilized for the preparation of subnanometer size uncapped gold quantum dots. With the precursor AuCl4(-) placed in the aqueous bulk solution and the reducing agent BH4(-) originally entrapped in the vesicles' compar…
Rhizome extracts of Gunnera perpensa are used in traditional remedies in South Africa to treat endometritis both in humans and animals. An investigation was undertaken to determine whether this plant possesses antibacterial activity, which may explain its efficacy. Gunnera perpensa rhizome extracts were prepared seria…
The studies of solvent mass uptake and swelling dynamics of CdS−polyacrylamide nanocomposite ultrathin films in saturated solvent (H 2 O) vapor were carried out. The nanocomposite material was synthesized via a chemical route. The films were prepared by spin-coating on silicon substrates. The mass uptake behavior of s…
Abstract From the measurement of the picosecond time-resolved luminescence spectra of a Pr(III) complex with phenanthroline in the solid state, an intramolecular energy-transfer mechanism from the ligand to the center metal has been discussed. The rate constant of the energy transfer can be estimated as 3.3 × 109 s−1,…
The room-temperature structure of potassium titanyl phosphate (KTiOPO4, KTP) with Pna2(1) symmetry has been studied by means of synchrotron radiation. Each of the two crystallographically unique K1 and K2 cations is split over two sites that are shifted along the c direction by 0.287 (13) and 0.255 (13) A for the K1a/…
The machinability of a polycarbonate nanocomposite containing multiwalled carbon nanotubes is investigated and contrasted with its base polymer and with a conventional carbon fiber composite. The material microstructures are characterized using transmission electron and scanning electron microscopy methods. Micro-endm…
