An alternative set of Cartesian vector wave functions is presented to simplify the development of eigenfunction expansions of electromagnetic fields and dyadic Green's functions for bianisotropic media. With the eigenfields expanded using these functions, the determination of their expansion coefficients is facil…
The ferroelectric nematic ordering of finite-length hard spherocylinders with longitudinal dipoles is demonstrated in an extended version of the Onsager formalism. The stability analysis as well as numerical simulations were performed to obtain a complete phase diagram for the ferroelectric nematic order in terms of t…
All the essential switchable mirror properties of ${\mathrm{YH}}_{x}$ exhibit a strong hysteresis that is related to the structural \ensuremath{\beta}-dihydride to \ensuremath{\gamma}-trihydride phase transition. This structural transition in ${\mathrm{YH}}_{x}$ has so far been difficult to investigate since polycryst…
Though a tremendous amount of research has recently been devoted to synthesis and characterization of carbon nanotubes, few students have been afforded the opportunity to study these species in a laboratory course setting. As a part of an introductory laboratory course in the Chemical and Materials Physics (ChaMP) gra…
Starting from three powder mixtures of 80 vol% SiC (100α, 50α/50β, 100β) and 20 vol% YAG, liquid‐phase‐sintered silicon carbide ceramics were prepared by hot pressing at 1800°C for 1 h under 25 MPa, and then by hot forging or annealing at 1900°C for 4 h under an applied stress of 25 MPa in argon. The phase transformat…
Eight series of fluorosubstituted three-ring ester liquid crystals have been synthesized. Polarizing microscopic textural observations and DSC measurements of their phase transitions show that most are thermotropic liquid crystals with nematic and smectic A phases; furthermore, several show monotropic high order smect…
Phosphate-containing polyester macroglycols with different phosphate contents were synthesised from a phosphorus-containing monomer, a dicarboxylic acid and a diol. The macroglycols were then used as a soft segment for the preparation of segmented polyurethane dispersions. Aqueous dispersions were made by phase invers…
Abstract A nonlinear dynamic model of a seeded potash alum batch cooling crystallizer is presented. The model of the batch crystallizer is based on the conservation principles of mass, energy and population. In order to maintain constant supersaturation, a nonlinear geometric feedback controller is implemented. It is…
The electronic structure of the Ruddlesden-Popper layered perovskite compound ${\mathrm{Sr}}_{3}{\mathrm{Mn}}_{2}{\mathrm{O}}_{7}$ is studied from density-functional calculations using the linear muffin-tin orbital method. An antiferromagnetic, insulating solution is obtained in agreement with the experiments, with a…
Ultrathin magnetic films are considered where the thickness-induced second order phase transition occurs due to surface magnetic anisotropy changes. By increasing the thickness, the easy magnetization axis state passes through the easy cone state (for film thickness t: t1 < t < t2) into the easy magnetization plane st…
Porphyrin quinones are attractive model compounds for mimicking natural electron transfer processes. While the overwhelming majority of studies have been performed with porphyrin p-quinones the isomeric porphyrin o-quinones have been mostly neglected. Using phenanthrene-9,10-quinones as the acceptor component we have…
Nitramide was investigated by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy, X-ray-diffraction and computational methods. The crystal structure analysis at various temperatures reveals a planar conformation of the molecule with a N-N bond length corresponding to a bond order between one and two. Hydrogen bonds connect the nitramide m…
This article presents experimental results for tensile creep behavior of orthogonal three‐dimensional woven Tyranno™ ZMI fiber/Si‐Ti‐C‐O ceramic matrix composites at 1300°–1450°C in air. The composite contained Tyranno ZMI (56% silicon, 1% zirconium, 34% carbon, and 9% oxygen) fibers with a BN coating layer to improve…
The effect of phosphate ions on the corrosion behaviour of copper in sulphate solutions was investigated at different temperatures (293, 313, 333, and 353 K) and at different pH values (pH = 2·1, 7·2, and 12·3). A three electrode electrochemical technique was used for the measurements, using a saturated calomel electr…
Cordierite-zircon ceramic composites were fabricated by die pressing a commercial cordierite powder with the addition of up to 10 wt-% zircon (ZrSiO4). Sintering of cordierite was enhanced by the ZrSiO4 addition through glass phase formation. With ZrSiO4 additions above 2·5 wt-% no further effect on the mechanical pro…
Compares the corrosion behaviour of Ti6Al4V titanium alloy, a conventional duplex stainless steel (UNS 31803) and AISI 304 austenitic stainless steel in synthetic biofluids using electrochemical techniques and comments on the suitability of DSS for use in biomedical applications. Finds that the general corrosion resis…
A potentiostatic weight loss technique has been used to compare the corrosion rates of Weldox 700 high strength low alloy steel exposed to both natural and sterile sea water at potentials ranging from the free corrosion condition to - 1000 mV (SCE). Anodic polarisation curves with Tafel constants of 54 and 64 mV per d…
The role of three key nitrogen regulatory genes, glnB (encoding the P(II) protein), glnZ (encoding the P(z) protein), and glnD (encoding the GlnD protein), in regulation of poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) biosynthesis by ammonia in Azospirillum brasilense Sp7 was investigated. It was observed that glnB glnZ and glnD muta…
Crystallization analysis fractionation (CRYSTAF) has been introduced for the analysis of the composition of polyolefin blends and the chemical composition distribution of polyolefins. Blends of syndiotactic and isotactic polypropylene (sPP and iPP) and of sPP/High density polyethylene (HDPE) have been fractionated by…
