Abstract In this work, the influence of temperature, molecular weight ( M̄ n ), and molecular weight dispersity (MWD) on the surface tension of polystyrene (PS) was evaluated using the pendant drop method. The influence of temperature on the surface tension of isotatic polypropylene (i‐PP) and of linear low‐density po…
We have developed an ultrafast, light-scattering spectroscopic system combining a conventional microscope with a pump–probe setup. We successfully measured the surface plasmon resonance band for the individual gold particles with a mean radius of 40 nm. The results on the pump–probe experiment demonstrate that both th…
The same method used to determine ${\ensuremath{\sigma}}^{*}$ excitations in the x-ray-absorption spectra of organic molecules is applied to analyze the structure of the ${\ensuremath{\sigma}}^{*}$ band in the x-ray absorption spectra of amorphous carbon $(a\ensuremath{-}\mathrm{C})$ films. The analysis assumes that o…
(55)Mn NMR spectra of several ferromagnetic manganites, including La(0.7)Ca(0.3)MnO(3) and La(0.7)Sr(0.3) MnO(3), were measured as a function of temperature. A thorough analysis of the spin-spin relaxation and the NMR line shape revealed that in these compounds two different ferromagnetic phases coexist below T(C) in…
Abstract The influence of the carbon black content on the mechanical and electrical properties of polypropylene/carbon black composites prepared by different processing procedures was investigated. The formation of a continuous conducting network in the insulating matrix and, consequently, the percolation threshold de…
LDH-F hydrotalcite catalysts are found to be an efficient, environmentally attractive and selective solid base catalysts for 1,4-Michael addition and also for simple synthesis of α,β-unsaturated esters and nitriles by Knoevenagel condensation. The catalyst displayed unprecedented catalytic activity both in Knoevenagel…
Templated ZnO thin-film growth from the vapor phase is achieved on docosyltrichloro- silane-patterned Si substrates using atomic layer epitaxy (ALE) combined with soft lithography. Patterned hydrophobic self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) are first transferred to single-crystal Si surfaces by hot microcontact printing. U…
Abstract Bave was acquired by the forced silking of three Bombyx mori silkworms, and its tensile properties were characterized. The material collected from any given silkworm yielded reproducible force‐displacement plots, which were qualitatively similar to the plots obtained from silk collected from the other silkwor…
Nanostructured copper was produced by deformation under large sliding loads. In the near surface layers, 10 nm scale microstructures form and coarsen with increasing depth from the surface. The graded structure enables characterization of the structural scale over several orders of magnitude. Analysis reveals that uni…
Advanced algorithms are necessary to obtain faster-than-real-time dynamic simulations in a number of different physical problems that are characterized by widely disparate time scales. Recent advanced dynamic Monte Carlo algorithms that preserve the dynamics of the model are described. These include the $n$-fold way a…
Abstract Recently, electromagnetic materials with negative permittivity and permeability values (sometime called “media with negative refraction index”) have been given much attention in the literature. Negative values of the material parameters can be achieved in composite media near resonances, which implies very di…
We present a unique method for converting circularly polarized light into radially and azimuthally polarized beams. The method is based on the use of computer-generated space-variant subwavelength metal stripe gratings. The elements were realized on GaAs substrates and produced beams with high polarization purity at a…
Abstract The transport properties of oxygen and water vapor through EVOH films as functions of relative humidity (RH) and temperature were studied. The results of oxygen and water vapor permeation demonstrated that temperature and RH markedly affected barrier properties of these films. In general, the EVOH films had m…
We model friction acting on the tip of an atomic force microscope as it is dragged across a surface at non-zero temperatures. We find that stick-slip motion occurs and that the average frictional force follows $|\ln v|^{2/3}$, where $v$ is the tip velocity. This compares well to recent experimental work (Gnecco et al,…
Carbon nanotubes are one dimensional and very narrow. These obvious facts imply that, under doping with boron and nitrogen, microscopic doping inhomogeneity is much more important than for bulk semiconductors. We consider the possibility of exploiting such fluctuations to create interesting devices. Using the self-con…
A simple Monte Carlo procedure is described for simulating the multiple scattering and absorption of electrons with the incident energy in the range 1-50 keV moving through a slab of uniformly distributed material of given atomic number, density and thickness. The simulation is based on a screened Rutherford cross-sec…
Boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) were synthesized in gram quantities using a continuous ${\mathrm{CO}}_{2}$ laser ablation reactor without the benefit of a metal catalyst. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy analyses have shown the samples to be composed of single-wall nanotubes organized in long and well-…
We have developed nanotweezers consisting of carbon nanotubes that will operate in an atomic force microscope. The two nanotubes were attached on the metal electrodes patterned on a conventional Si tip and their fixations were made by carbon deposition. These processes were made under the view of a scanning electron m…
Information on the energy of $5d$ levels of ${\mathrm{Ce}}^{3+}$ ions coordinated by ${\mathrm{CO}}_{3}^{2\ensuremath{-}},$ ${\mathrm{SO}}_{4}^{2\ensuremath{-}},$ ${\mathrm{PO}}_{4}^{3\ensuremath{-}},$ ${\mathrm{BO}}_{3}^{3\ensuremath{-}},$ and ${\mathrm{SiO}}_{4}^{4\ensuremath{-}}$ ionic complexes or by neutral water…
Although many experimental studies over the years have shown strong (inverse) correlation between excess viscosity and excess volume of a binary mixture, there does not seem to exist any microscopic theoretical study of such behavior. In this work, we introduce and study two new models of binary mixture with the aim o…
