An analysis is made of the amount of carbonaceous contamination remaining on silicon wafers with a thin oxide overlayer. Wafers are either left “as-received” or deliberately contaminated with a thumbprint and then subjected to one of 42 different cleaning procedures with the remaining carbon level monitored by x-ray p…
Abstract The effects of the blend ratio, reactive compatibilization, and dynamic vulcanization on the dynamic mechanical properties of high‐density polyethylene (HDPE)/ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) blends have been analyzed at different temperatures. The storage modulus of the blend decreases with an increase in the EV…
Abstract Polystyrene (PS)/organophilic montmorillonite (OMMT) clay nanocomposites were prepared by a solvent casting method using chloroform as a cosolvent. Intercalation of the OMMT in the PS matrix was achieved as revealed by X‐ray diffraction. The IR spectra of the products indicated that the OMMT is homogeneously…
Gas permeability has been measured through a carbon nanotube-based “buckypaper” membrane and through commercially available porous anodized alumina membranes with 200 nm nominal pore dimensions. Permeation relationships through the alumina membrane are consistent with Knudsen-type diffusion. Permeation behavior in the…
The DSM polyamine dendrimers dend-DAB-(NH2)x of generations 1 (x = 4) to 4 (x = 32) form H-bonded dendritic assemblies with the phenol AB3 units p-HOC6H4C(CH2CHCH2)3 and p-HOC6H4C{(CH2)3SiCH2NHCOFc}3 (Fc = ferrocenyl), as shown by the shifts of the NH2 and OH signals giving a concentration-dependent common signal betw…
We successfully prepared monodisperse, hard rodlike colloidal particles with a wide range of length-to-width ratios (L/W). In their suspensions liquid crystals, or nematic (N) and smectic (Sm) phases, spontaneously appeared. The size of the particles made it possible to directly observe their arrangement and dynamics…
Hydrogen sorption in the nanoporous nickel phosphates VSB-1 and VSB-5 has been studied with a combination of BET, temperature programmed desorption (TPD), and inelastic neutron scattering (INS) measurements. H(2) BET isotherms for VSB-1 are similar to those seen in nanoporous zeolites, while VSB-5 adsorbs substantiall…
Examining the rotational diffusion of a microparticle suspended in a soft material opens up exciting new opportunities for locally probing the frequency-dependent linear viscoelastic shear modulus, G*(omega). We study the one-dimensional rotational diffusion of a wax microdisk in an aqueous polymer entanglement networ…
Crystal structure as well as magnetization and electrical transport vs. temperature and field for the La3+1−xBa2+xMn3+O2−3−x/2 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.50) anion-deficient manganites have been studied. It is established that the samples in the region 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.05 are O/-orthorhombic perovskites and are rhombohedric with 0.10 ≤ x ≤…
We present a systematic methodology for the accurate calculation of defect structures in supercells which we illustrate with a study of the neutral vacancy in silicon. This is a prototypical defect which has been studied extensively using ab initio methods, yet remarkably there is still no consensus about the energy o…

Weakly nonlocal thermodynamic theories are critically revisited. A relocalized, irreversible thermodynamic theory of nonlocal phenomena is given, based on a modified form of the entropy current and new kind of internal variables, the so called current multipliers. The treatment is restricted to deal with nonlocality c…
A phase transition in an organic charge-transfer complex, which originates from the neutral-ionic valence instability, can be tuned toward zero kelvin with use of external pressure or chemical modification as a control parameter. The phase diagram and observed dielectric behaviors are typical of quantum paraelectricit…
We report the first example of a transition to long-range magnetic order in a purely dipolarly interacting molecular magnet. For the magnetic cluster compound ${\mathrm{M}\mathrm{n}}_{6}{\mathrm{O}}_{4}{\mathrm{B}\mathrm{r}}_{4}({\mathrm{E}\mathrm{t}}_{2}\mathrm{d}\mathrm{b}\mathrm{m}{)}_{6}$, the anisotropy experienc…
Langevin equation pertinent to diffusion limited aggregation of charged particles in the presence of an external magnetic field is solved exactly. The solution involves correlated random variables. A new scheme for exactly sampling the components of the position and velocity is proposed.
The 2p core excited XAS and XMCD spectra of Cr$_{1-δ}$Te with several concentrations of $δ$=0.11-0.33 have been measured. The observed XMCD lineshapes are found to very weakly depend on $δ$. The experimental results are analyzed in terms of the configuration-interaction picture with consideration of hybridization and…
We introduce a new class of foldable oligomers consisting of alternating rigid and flexible regions. The rigid segments overlap to give pi-stacked folded conformers whose formation is driven mostly by pi-pi molecular orbital overlaps. As the oligomer concentration increases, the folded molecular structures further sel…
We investigated ferromagnetism of a newly discovered ferromagnetic semiconductor Co-doped anatase ${\mathrm{T}\mathrm{i}\mathrm{O}}_{2}$ thin film, using the magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) at the Co ${L}_{2,3}$ absorption edges. The magnetic moment was observed to be $\ensuremath{\sim}0.1{\ensuremath{\mu}}_{B}/\mat…
The self-assembly of particles at fluid interfaces, driven by the reduction in interfacial energy, is well established. However, for nanoscopic particles, thermal fluctuations compete with interfacial energy and give rise to a particle-size-dependent self-assembly. Ligand-stabilized nanoparticles assembled into three-…
A study of miscibility, morphology, crystallization, and dynamic mechanical properties of polypropylene in the presence of a low-molecular-weight compound, hydrogenated dicyclopentadiene (DCPD), is described. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), optical microscopy (OM), and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) were u…
