The results of a systematic ultrahigh resolution ultraviolet photoemission study of the electronic structure of stable icosahedral alloys ${\mathrm{Al}}_{64}$${\mathrm{Cu}}_{24}$${\mathrm{Fe}}_{12}$, ${\mathrm{Al}}_{65}$${\mathrm{Cu}}_{20}$${\mathrm{Fe}}_{15}$, ${\mathrm{Al}}_{70}$${\mathrm{Pd}}_{20}$${\mathrm{Mn}}_{1…
We have fabricated thin films of La1−xCaxMnOδ with tetragonal symmetry. For low temperatures and magnetic fields the measured magnetoresistance is anisotropic: initially positive for applied magnetic field perpendicular to the film plane and negative for field applied parallel to the film plane. At high temperatures t…
Zero-field muon spin relaxation and resistivity experiments on ${\mathrm{La}}_{0.67}$${\mathrm{Ca}}_{0.33}$Mn${\mathrm{O}}_{3}$ powder show that the sublattice magnetization ${\ensuremath{\nu}}_{\ensuremath{\mu}}(T)$ is well described for $T\ensuremath{\le}{T}_{c}$ by ${(1\ensuremath{-}\frac{T}{{T}_{c}})}^{\ensuremath…
Performance degradation in liquid crystal cells was studied by analyzing the time evolution of optical and integrated current vs voltage hysteresis curves as test cells were subjected to a dc bias. We find evidence for permanent increases in liquid crystal mobile ion populations, the primary cause of device performanc…
The pre-martensitic anomalies observed by elastic, thermal and electron microscopy measurements in the group of Ni - Mn - Ga alloys with K have been attributed to the formation of the intermediate phase existing in the temperature range 30 - 60 K above the martensitic transformation temperature. The results are discus…
Ethanolic extracts of 61 medicinal plants used in Malaysia were screened for antiviral and cytotoxic activities. Antiviral activity was tested against the herpes simplex type-1 (HSV-1) and vesicular stomatitis (VSV) viruses, and cytotoxicity was assayed using the HeLa cell line. Antiviral activity against both viruses…
Infrared reflectivity spectra were measured for a polycrystalline ${\mathrm{La}}_{0.7}$${\mathrm{Ca}}_{0.3}$Mn${\mathrm{O}}_{3}$ sample. The internal phonon modes, i.e., the bending and stretching modes, of the Mn${\mathrm{O}}_{6}$ octahedra show significant frequency shifts near the Curie temperature ${T}_{C}$. The f…
The (001) surfaces of cubic SiC were investigated with ab-initio molecular dynamics simulations. We show that C-terminated surfaces can have different c(2x2) and p(2x1) reconstructions, depending on preparation conditions and thermal treatment, and we suggest experimental probes to identify the various reconstructed g…
The switching of the magnetization of single Ni wires with diameters 40-100 nm was measured at temperatures between 0.13 and 6 K. The angular dependence of the switching field was studied for several wire diameters. Repetitive measurements allow us to obtain histograms of the switching field values. For the smallest d…
A three-dimensional computer simulation of a concentrated emulsion in shear flow has been developed for low-Reynolds-number finite-capillary-number conditions. Numerical results have been obtained using an efficient boundary integral formulation with periodic boundary conditions and up to twelve drops in each periodic…
Local Spin Density Approximation (LSDA) is used to calculate the energy bands of both the ferromagnetic and paramagnetic phases of metallic CrO_2. The Fermi level lies in a peak in the paramagnetic density of states, and the ferromagnetic phase is more stable. As first predicted by Schwarz, the magnetic moment is 2 μ_…
Silk fibers were treated with methacrylamide (MAA), and changes in the mechanical properties of the silk fibers were investigated. The breaking load of the silk fibers was almost unchanged, whereas rigidity was markedly increased by the methylmethacrylate (MAA) treatment. Elongation at break of the silk fibers decreas…
Abstract Unlike their predecessors based on Sm-Co, the Nd-Fe-B alloys can be processed into permanent magnets by many different routes. The most important group of processing routes consists of variants of powder metallurgy, where monocrystalline powder with grains a few microns in size is oriented and sintered to yie…
It is common practice to accept, as an operational definition, that particulate matter (PM) refers to particles greater than 0.45 µm. By this definition dissolved matter includes particles finer than 0.45 µm, including colloids. Particulate matter is derived primarily from rock weathering processes, both physical and…
The recycled poly(ethylene terephthalate) (R-PET) from the recovery of a blow-molded bottle is studied with its crystalline behavior in terms of glass transition temperature (Tg), crystallization temperature (Tc), melting temperature (Tm), and its dynamic crystallization kinetics. These crystalline behaviors offer an…
The dipolar-correlation effect on the stimulated echo of nematics probes (a) the order parameter and (b) the distribution of the director fluctuations. This effect was employed for the study of orientational director fluctuations in a nematic liquid crystal confined in Bioran porous glasses with mean pore diameters of…
The structure and formation mechanism of carbon gel in carbon black filled polyisoprene composites were studied by the pulsed NMR technique. The composites were prepared from a wide range of molecular weights by a solution blend. The carbon gels were extracted from the composites by a solvent-extraction method. The co…
Elastomers cured with two crosslinking systems such as sulfur and the polymerization products of p-benzoquinone are shown to have much improved overall mechanical properties. It was thought that this was because of the antioxidizing potency of the quinone polymers that act as radical traps during the oxidative degrada…
The two reactive systems using cellulosic fiber reinforcement emphasized in this article are twin screw extrusion maleation of polypropylene (PP) and structural reaction injection molding (SRIM). Both simultaneous and sequential compounding of sweet gum wood fiber (WF) with maleation were studied. Similar PP/WF mechan…
Given a ‘‘target’’ sphere of radius r1 and ‘‘probe’’ spheres of radius r2, we consider, as a function of r2/r1, how many probe spheres, on average, can be attached to the target sphere if (1) the attachment sites are chosen at random, (2) the probe spheres are not permitted to overlap, and (3) each attachment is irrev…
