The characteristics of annular amplitude and phase filters are compared. The behavior of two-zone phase and amplitude filters as the inner zone is increased is studied in detail. Numerical simulations show that a phase filter can achieve a superresolution effect, a circular Dammann effect, and flat-topped intensity fo…

Abstract Previous attempts to use illite as a geothermometer have failed: no general relation between the mineral's chemical composition and temperature of crystallization has been found. Here, chemical compositions of 27 illite samples from five different geothermal fields (the data on four of which were drawn from t…

We report on the bulk and surface properties of dispersions consisting of nonstoichiometric polyelectrolyte complex (PEC) nanoparticles. PEC nanoparticles were prepared by mixing poly(l-lysine) (PLL) or poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDADMAC) with poly(maleic acid-co-alpha-methylstyrene) (PMA-MS) or poly(male…

In this study, spandexes of three degrees of fineness are used as the core material with cotton fibers as the sheath to spin fine elastomeric yarns. We observe the cross sections of the core yarns and the migration of the spandex inside the core yarn concluding that producing a finer elastomeric yarn with a uniform st…

The influence of the support ionicity on the adsorption of H, CH x ( x = 2, 3), and O on supported Pt particles is investigated using density functional theory (DFT). The DFT calculations reveal that the importance of the 6s,p states for the Pt adsorbate bonding increases in the order Pt−O < Pt−CH 2 < Pt−CH 3 < Pt−H.…

We present measurements of the optical spectra on Na(0.7)CoO(2) single crystals. The optical conductivity shows two broad interband transition peaks at 1.6 eV and 3.1 eV, and a weak midinfrared peak at 0.4 eV. The intraband response of conducting carriers is different from that of a simple Drude metal. A peak at low b…

An improved synchrotron microradiography technique is being used to study dendrite growth and coarsening in Sn-13%Bi alloy in real time. The morphology of growing dendrites can be well resolved with reasonable image contrast. Dendrite arm remelting, coalescence, and fragmentation have been observed in a real alloy and…
