Mechanically bent nickel nanowires show clear features in their room temperature magnetoresistance when a domain wall is pinned at the location of the bend. By varying the direction of an applied magnetic field, the wire can be prepared either in a single-domain state or a two-domain state. The presence or absence of…
Using elastic and inelastic neutron scattering, we investigated the evolution of the local atomic structure and lattice dynamics of La(1-x)Sr(x)CoO3 (x=0-0.5) as it crosses over with x from an insulator to a ferromagnetic metal (FMM). Our pair density function analysis indicates that in the paramagnetic insulating (PM…
We present a method to create spin-polarized beams of ballistic electrons in a two-dimensional electron system in the presence of spin-orbit interaction. Scattering of a spin-unpolarized injected beam from a lithographic barrier leads to the creation of two fully spin-polarized side beams, in addition to an unpolarize…
This research reports the use of organic-modified mesoporous silica particles as fillers to form organic/inorganic nanocomposites with improved thermal and mechanical properties. The particle fillers were synthesized by co-assembly of surfactant and silicate species prepared by hydrolysis and condensation reactions of…
6(A),6(D)-Bis-(2-amino-2-carboxylethylthio)-6(A),6(D)-dideoxy-beta-cyclodextrin 1, a diamino acid derivative of beta-cyclodextrin, is synthesized and condensed with difunctionalized PEG comonomers to give linear, high molecular weight (M(w) over 50 kDa) beta-cyclodextrin-based polymers (2-4) with pendant functionality…
This paper presents practical techniques for determining stray capacitances in a two-winding high frequency transformer for circuit simulation and computer-aided design purposes. These techniques fall into two categories: The two-port network approach; and the step-response approach. The first approach can be employed…
This paper is composed of two parts. In the first part, the fundamentals of ideal transmission lines (TL) meta-materials (NM) with their physical characteristics and the synthesis of practical artificial TL-MMs with their circuital characteristics are presented. A microstrip implementation of a composite right/left ha…
Estimating the number of molecules in the crystallographic asymmetric unit is one of the first steps in a macromolecular structure determination. Based on a survey of 15641 crystallographic Protein Data Bank (PDB) entries the distribution of V(M), the crystal volume per unit of protein molecular weight, known as Matth…
Abstract A steady‐state two‐phase model has been developed for a continuous finishing stage of the melt polycondensation process that consists of two rotating‐disk reactors in series. Each reactor has multiple reaction zones with different types of rotating disks to establish plug flow profiles and to facilitate the r…
Abstract Polymeric hindered amine light stabilizers (HALSs), in which the HALS functionality was attached to the terminal isocyanate chain end of poly(styryl‐ co ‐styryl isocyanate), were synthesized by a two‐step process. First, cinnamoyl azide was prepared and copolymerized with styrene by a free‐radical copolymeriz…
Chevron structures adopted by confined smectic liquid crystals are investigated via molecular dynamics simulations of the Gay-Berne model. The chevrons are formed by quenching nematic films confined between aligning planar substrates whose easy axes have opposing azimuthal components. When the substrates are perfectly…
Abstract The heterogeneous polymerization of vinyl chloride monomer (VCM), with n ‐butane as the reaction medium, was used to prepare poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) resins. The particle features of the resulting resins and the particle formation mechanism of the polymerization process were investigated. The PVC resins pre…
Alanine racemase (AlaR) is a bacterial enzyme that catalyzes the interconversion of L- and D-alanine, which is an essential constituent of the peptidoglycan layer of the bacterial cell wall and requires pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) as a cofactor. The enzyme is universal to bacteria, including mycobacteria, making it a…
We substitute Ga for Mn in the ${\mathrm{La}}_{2/3}{\mathrm{Sr}}_{1/3}{\mathrm{MnO}}_{3}$ compound to see how magnetic and atomic disorder affects the properties of this system. Ga doping gives rise to minor structural effects in the ${\mathrm{La}}_{2/3}{\mathrm{Sr}}_{1/3}{\mathrm{Mn}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}{\mathrm{Ga}}_…
Abstract Hydrogenation of nitrile–butadiene rubber latex was carried out using hydrazine and hydrogen peroxide, with copper sulfate as catalyst and without pressurized hydrogen and organic solvent. A special inhibitor was used during hydrogenation to reduce gel formation. Various hydrogenation conditions were studied.…
NaAlH 4 is considered as a promising material for onboard storage of hydrogen. It is generally thought that high temperature (>120 °C) and high pressure (>15 MPa) are needed for rehydrogenation of dehydrogenated NaAlH 4 . However, for practical application, reducing the rehydrogenation temperature and pressure as much…
MCM-48 samples containing uranium (U−MCM-48) to the extent of 1 to 6 wt % were synthesized hydrothermally and characterized using powder XRD, 29 Si MAS NMR, FTIR spectroscopy, DR UV−Vis spectroscopy, N 2 sorption, and TEM techniques. These analyses confirmed the formation of an ordered cubic-phase MCM-48 mesomaterial…
Abstract Polythiophene (PTh) films were prepared by the electrochemical polymerization of thiophene in acetonitrile solution with boron fluoride–ethyl ether (BFEE) as the electrolyte. The electropolymerization processes were investigated by cyclic voltammetry. The onset potential of the electropolymerization decreased…
In a recent Physical Review Letter [1] Garcia and Nieto Vesperinas (GNV) dispute the claim of perfect lensing made in [2]. The thrust of the GVN paper is that the solutions proposed in [2] imply infinite energy density and are therefore inadmissible. They claim that finite absorption leads to catastrophic collapse of…
We report in situ observations of modifications in silicate glasses using electron-energy-loss spectrometry with a small-probe (2.2 \AA{}) scanning transmission electron microscope. Two silicate glasses ${\mathrm{C}\mathrm{a}\mathrm{O}\ensuremath{-}\mathrm{A}\mathrm{l}}_{2}{\mathrm{O}}_{3}\ensuremath{-}{\mathrm{SiO}}_…
