By using large oil-in-water droplets covered with ionic surfactant we measure contact angles to deduce the adhesive energy between macroscopic interfaces as a function of the temperature $T$ and the salt concentration $C$. A wetting transition takes place at a well defined temperature ${T}^{*}(C)$. At the colloidal sc…
Single mode channel waveguides were fabricated in soda lime glass by poling the samples at 280 °C with 2.5 kV bias voltage. The refractive index of the glass was reduced by 1.5% due to the depletion of sodium ions, making possible the formation of waveguides in a depressed cladding configuration.
This letter reports a new way of preparing wafer sized SiGe quantum dots on an ordered mesoporous sol gel silica coated Si. It was found from x-ray diffraction that very good regular layers of mesoscopic sized SiGe quantum dots can be formed in the silica. Initial low temperature photoluminescence measurements show mu…
We report the formation of nanosize ferromagnetic MnAs crystallites imbedded in low-temperature grown GaAs using Mn+ ion implantation and subsequent annealing. The structural and magnetic properties of the crystallites have been characterized by transmission electron microscopy, electron beam induced x-ray fluorescenc…
Specular x-ray reflectivity (XRR) measurements were used to study the density and surface roughness of ultrathin hydrogen-free amorphous carbon films deposited by sputtering, of thickness varying from 25 to 325 Å. The film thickness and surface roughness obtained from XRR measurements are in good agreement with that f…
Measurements of the temperature dependence of the resistivity $\ensuremath{\rho}(T)$ and thermoelectric power $\ensuremath{\alpha}(T)$ under several hydrostatic pressures were made on single crystals of ${\mathrm{La}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}{\mathrm{Sr}}_{x}{\mathrm{MnO}}_{3}$ with $x\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\phantom{\rul…
The effect of particle size on the ferroelectric transition in fine-particle porcelain produced by the inorganic sol - gel method was investigated. The phase transition was measured by dielectric properties, variable temperature x-ray diffraction, and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The tetragonal distortion…
Monomer solubility is identified as the primary factor determining network morphology in polymer stabilized cholesteric liquid crystal textures. Poorly soluble monomers form coarse structures composed of discrete, oblong grains, whereas soluble monomers yield smooth, continuous polymer networks. A crossover from smoot…
Oxygen $K$-edge electron-energy-loss spectra have been measured for ${\mathrm{La}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}{\mathrm{Sr}}_{x}{\mathrm{MnO}}_{3}$ $(0\ensuremath{\le}x\ensuremath{\le}0.7)$ and ${\mathrm{La}}_{0.7}{\mathrm{Sr}}_{0.3}{\mathrm{MnO}}_{z}$ thin films as a function of $x$ and $z$. The spectra show a prepeak at the F…
We are optimizing thin films of perovskite manganese oxides for bolometric applications. We have studied the relevant material characteristics of several members of this family namely, La0.7Ba0.3MnO3, La0.7Sr0.3MnO3, La0.7Ca0.3MnO3, and Nd0.7Sr0.3MnO3. Here, we discuss issues related to the choice of material, the inf…
Rubber-grade carbon black filler HAF(N330) was modified with a plant product (PP; long aliphatic chain substituted phenols), a proprietary item under patent application, in the presence or absence of hexamine (Hexa) or dicumyl peroxide (DCP) to put a flexible moiety in between the carbon black and the elastomer chain…
Toughness of poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT) was improved by reactive blending of PBT with 2-substituted 1,3-oxazoline intermediates such as low-molecular-weight bisoxazolines, and oxazoline-functionalized nitrile rubbers derived from both nitrile liquid rubber (Nipol®) and high-molecular-weight hydrogenated nitril…
The toughening enhancement of Polyamide 6 blended with different types of functionalized elastomers was studied. Morphological analysis by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were performed on undeformed samples in order to determine particle—size distribution. Yet more SEM examination of the damage zone ahead of notch…
The biodegradability of poly(δ-valerolactone-co-L-lactide)s was studied both with enzymatic (lipase from Rhizopus arrhizus) and nonenzymatic hydrolyses. The hydrolyzability was evaluated by recording the amount of the hydrolyzed water-soluble products. The enzymatic hydrolysis was considerably affected by copolymer co…
A model for single-domain uniaxial ferromagnetic particles with high anisotropy, the Ising model, is studied. Recent experimental observations have been made of the probability that the magnetization has not switched. Here an approach is described in which it is emphasized that a ferromagnetic particle in an unfavorab…
Polyhedral and tubular graphitic nanoparticles made of carbon layers and boron nitride (BN) layers have been synthesized. These particles were observed in the soot collected on the anode deposit formed by arcing a hafnium diboride rod with graphite in a nitrogen atmosphere. Elemental profiles with subnanometer-scale r…
A new acousto-electrical method making use of transient transverse acoustoelectric voltage (TAV) to study solid state structures is reported. This voltage arises after a surface acoustic wave (SAW) generating the signal is switched off. Related measurements consist in detecting the shape of transient voltage and its s…
The derivation of a three-dimensional integral equation for solute molecule-solvent site correlation functions is presented. The equation is obtained by averaging the Ornstein–Zernicke equation for molecular liquids over orientations of the solvent molecule consistent with one site of the solvent remaining at a fixed…
We apply our previously proposed “Gaussian cluster” model [J. Chem. Phys. 104, 1626 (1996)] to the study of macromolecular association and aggregation, under poor-solvent conditions (T<Θ). The properties of the macromolecular clusters are studied as a function of the number of chains ν=2,3,4,…, of the attractiv…
Rate constants for N2(A,v) quenching by O, for levels v=2–7, by O2 for levels v=3–7, and by NO for levels v=2–4, have been measured in this work. This is the first data set for the quenching by O of vibrational levels v>3. The results of this work are based on the measurement by laser induced fluorescence (LIF)…
