The Modal Method by Gegenbauer polynomials Expansion (MMGE) has been recently introduced for lamellar gratings by Edee [8]. This method shows a promising potential of outstanding convergence but still suffers from instabilities when the number of polynomials is increased. In this work, we identify the origin of these…

An inter hydrogen bonded homologous series with seven liquid crystalline complexes has been isolated and characterized. Double complementary hydrogen bonds are formed between a nonmesogen suberic acid (SA) and mesogenic p-n-alkyl benzoic acid (nBA); the series is referred as SA + nBA. Hydrogen bond is evinced by FTIR…

Mesoporous silica particles are used as fillers for soggy-sand electrolytes. Favorable surface chemistry that leads to anion adsorption (as reflected by zeta potential) and conductivity enhancement effects is observed for small volume fractions. More remarkable than the absolute conductivities are the significant tran…

Mesoporous (ZnO)x(MgO)1-x nanoplates were synthesized from a solution containing zinc acetate and magnesium acetate by a template-free solvothermal synthetic method followed by subsequent calcination. After thermal treatment, the plate-like morphology was retained. The formation of pores was due to thermal decompositi…

Energy can be saved by enhancing the service life of machinery and by designing lighter units. These design changes enable, for example, lower fuel consumption and larger payloads. The implementation of this kind of solutions, however, requires development of better wear resistant materials. In this study, the wear re…

It is generally accepted that cation dehydration is the rate-limiting step to crystal growth from aqueous solution. Here we employ classical molecular dynamics simulations to show that the water exchange frequency at structurally distinct calcium sites in the calcite surface varies by about two orders of magnitude.
