Asymmetric triphenylene imidazolium salts with different spacer lengths were successfully synthesized through quarternization of ω‐bromo‐substituted triphenylenes with 1‐methyl imidazole. The asymmetry in ω‐bromo‐substituted triphenylenes tended to destroy liquid crystallinity in the sample. However, highly ordered co…

A constitutive model that includes the effects of elasticity, crystal reorientation (twinning or detwinning), phase transformations, and plasticity is presented. The model is applied to a uranium-6wt% niobium (U-6Nb) alloy, which is known to exhibit the shape memory effect. The inelastic strains for phase transformati…

We report the effect of processing parameters such as (1) uniaxial and (2) isostatic pressings on ferroelectric behavior of lead zirconate titanate (PZT) having Zr∕Ti ratio 65∕35. The effect of temperature (−125–250°C) on pinched loop characteristics of uniaxially pressed PZT is also reported. Polycrystalline ceramic…

The electronic and optical properties of zincblende Zn X ( X =S, Se, Te) and Zn X :Co are studied from density functional theory (DFT) based first principles calculations. The local crystal structure changes around the Co atoms in the lattice are studied after Co atoms are doped. It is shown that the Co-doped material…

It is confirmed that value of the spontaneous polarization in triglycine sulfate is reduced by a DC electric field perpendicular to its ferroelectric b axis. The reduction is influenced by temperature and by application time, intensity and direction of the perpendicular electric field. The reduced value is maintained…

This paper describes a procedure to prepare metal-oxide interfaces for transmission electron microscopy by the focused ion beam technique. The advantage of this procedure is to allow the observation of metal-oxide interfaces of irradiated samples with a homogeneous thickness without the need to have an instrument insi…

The aerobic oxidative cleavage of styrene C=C double bonds catalyzed by simple manganese porphyrin is reported. Under the catalysis of chloro(tetraphenylporphinato)manganese, the oxidative cleavage of the carbon-carbon double bond of the styrene with air yields benzaldehyde. Our results show that the oxidative cleavag…

Magnetic properties of cementite after strong plastic deformations and subsequent annealing in a broad range of temperatures are studied. The plastically deformed cementite is shown to exist in a soft (H c ≈ 80 A/cm) state; the annealed cementite, in a hard (H c ≈ 240 A/cm) state. The nature of the cementite’s soft an…

Self-expandable nitinol (nickel-titanium) alloys and 316L stainless steel are the most commonly used materials in the production of coronary stents. However, tantalum (Ta) has already been used to make stents for endovascular surgery and may constitute an alternative to other materials because of its better electroche…
