Abstract Plastic energy dissipation (PED) of individual polymer pellets as well as of densified polymer particulate assemblies may be the dominant heating/melting mechanisms in intermeshing corotating twin‐screw extruders (Co‐TSEs). In the present paper, the amount of PED is evaluated by conducting the uniaxial unconf…

Thermal oxidation of metallic Ge yields patterned nanowires of α-GeO2. A significant proportion (∼50 %) of the nanowires possess a common wire morphology with a uniform structure, while some of them have distinctive patterned structures consisting of either a regular array of Ge dots or penetrating holes along their a…

The iron complexes of 5,10,15,20-tetraphenyl-21-oxaporphyrin (OTPP)H have been investigated. Insertion of iron(II) followed by one-electron oxidation yielded a high-spin, six-coordinate (OTPP)Fe(III)Cl(2) complex. The reduction of (OTPP)Fe(III)Cl(2) has been accomplished by means of moderate reducing reagents producin…

Two copper-mercury-chalcogenide clusters [Hg(15)Cu(20)E(25)(PPr(3))(18)] (1, E = S; 2, E = Se) are synthesized in good yield from the reaction of (Pr(3)P)(3)Cu-ESiMe(3) and (Pr(3)P)(2).Hg(OAc)(2) at low temperatures. Single-crystal X-ray analyses illustrate that the two ternary clusters are isomorphous and consist of…

We consider chirality related effects in optical, photogalvanic, and electron-transport properties of carbon nanotubes. We show that these properties of chiral nanotubes are determined by terms in the electron effective Hamiltonian describing the coupling between the electron wave vector along the tube principal axis…
