Laboratory and greenhouse studies compared the ability of water treatment residuals (WTRs) to alter P solubility and leaching in Immokalee sandy soil (sandy, siliceous, hyperthermic Arenic Alaquod) amended with biosolids and triple superphosphate (TSP). Aluminum sulfate (Al-WTR) and ferric sulfate (Fe-WTR) coagulation…
In this paper, a new device topology has been proposed to implement parallel plate capacitors using Ba/sub x/Sr/sub 1-x/TiO/sub 3/ (BST) thin films. The device layout utilizes a single parallel capacitor and minimizes conductor losses in the base electrode. The new design simplifies the monolithic process and overcome…
Using infrared irradiation to heat an industrial brass (Cu–Zn alloy) disk in moderate vacuum, ZnO nanobelts were directly prepared on a Si substrate. The nanobelts had a single-crystal hexagonal structure and grew along the [0001] direction. The nanobelts had two distinct widths along their entire length. Photolumines…
We propose and demonstrate a type of composite metamaterial which is constructed by combining thin copper wires and split ring resonators (SRRs) on the same board. The transmission measurements performed in free space exhibit a passband within the stop bands of SRRs and thin wire structures. The experimental results a…
In false twist texturing, yarns are bulked by the sequential operations of twisting, heating, and cooling. The current speed for false twist texturing is limited by the early onset of threadline instability. It is well known that there is a potential to increase speeds by reducing the length of each element of the pro…
Catastrophic equipment failures continue to occur today due to ferroresonance even though this phenomenon has been extensively studied over the past 90 years. This paper is concerned with comparing analytical nonlinear dynamics methods with a two-dimensional (2-D) brute-force bifurcation diagram for displaying safety…
Crystallization of diamond and graphite from the carbon component of magnesite, upon its decarbonation in reactions with coesite and enstatite at pressures of 6-7 GPa and temperatures of 1350-1800°C has been accomplished experimentally. In a series of experiments, diamond was obtained in association with enstatite, co…
BN/C nanotube superlattices are quasi one-dimensional heterostructures that show unique physical properties derived from their peculiar geometry. Using state-of-the-art ab initio calculations, we show that BN/C systems can be used for effective band-offset nanodevice engineering, polarization-based devices, and robust…
Ta thin films were grown on Si(001) and polycrystalline Si substrates by plasma-enhanced atomic-layer deposition (PE-ALD) using TaCl5 and atomic hydrogen as precursors. The grown films have resistivity of 150–180 μm cm with a small Cl concentration between 0.5 and 2 at. %. The diffusion barrier properties were investi…
Factors affecting molar mass, molar mass distribution, end-groups, and kinetics control in polymerization of ϵ-caprolactone (CL) and L,L-dilactide (LA) initiated by covalent alkylmetal alkoxides, metal alkoxides, and metal carboxylates are discussed. First, an importance of the reliable molar mass measurements of the…
The results ofan assessment ofthe state of theartin the design and manufacturing of largecompositestructures are described. The focus of the assessment is on the use of polymeric matrix composite materials for large airframe structural components, such as thosein commercial and military aircraft and spacetransportatio…
We have studied the interaction of small Aun (n=1–3) particles with the defect-free (stoichiometric) and defected (partially reduced) TiO2 anatase (101) surface using density functional calculations within a slab geometry. On the stoichiometric surface, gold particles prefer anion sites and “standing” geometries, in a…
Up to 0.15 formula unit (f.u.) of U 4+ incorporated in the Zr site of zirconolite by firing CaU x Zr (1− x ) Ti 2 O 7 compositions in argon at 1400°C allows retention of the 2M polytype. Further U 4+ substitution for Zr, up to 0.4 f.u., produces the 4M polytype (containing ∼0.4 f.u. of U) plus the 2M polytype containi…
Abstract For both environmental and economic reasons, there is a continuing broad based interest in recycling of scrap rubber and development of recycling technologies. The use of post- industrial scrap is established as a systematic business. However, the disposal and reuse of scrap tires remains a serious environmen…
This article reviews the current state of research involving semiconductor quantum dots, provides a brief review of the theory behind their unique properties, and an introduction explaining the importance of quantum dot research. The characteristic shifting of the band gap energy with quantum dot size, as predicted fr…
Epitaxial PbZrxTi1−xO3 (PZT) films have been prepared by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition on SrTiO3 substrates. Two sets of films of thicknesses 50–100 and 700–1400 nm, containing 0%, 40%, 60%, and 100% Zr, were prepared and investigated. The refractive index n was determined by ellipsometry for the thin films a…
The recombination of electron-hole pairs injected in extended conjugated systems is modeled as a multi-pathway vibron-driven relaxation in monoexcited state-space. The computed triplet-to-singlet ratio of exciton formation times $r = τ_T/τ_S$ increases from 0.9 for a model dimer to 2.5 for a 32-unit chain, in excellen…
By Monte Carlo simulations of a soft ellipsoid model for liquid crystals, we study whether a layer of grafted liquid-crystalline chain molecules can induce tilt in a nematic fluid. The chains are fairly short (four monomers) and made of the same particles as the solvent. They are attached to a substrate which favors p…
Neutron scattering measurements on a bilayer manganite near optimal doping show that the short-range polaron correlations are completely dynamic at high T, but then freeze upon cooling to a temperature T(*) approximately equal 310 K. This glass transition suggests that the paramagnetic/insulating state arises from an…
We investigated the in-plane anisotropy on the resistivity and thermopower of Bi 2- x Pb x Sr 2 Co 2 O y single crystals, which have a misfit structure between the hexagonal CoO 2 layer and the rock salt Bi 2 Sr 2 O 4 layer. The resistivity and thermopower show significant anisotropy, which exceeds two at maximum. Thi…
