Polycrystalline samples of Ir4LaGe3Sb9, Ir4NdGe3Sb9, and Ir4SmGe3Sb9 have been made by hot isostatic pressing of powders. The lattice thermal conductivity of these filled skutterudites is markedly smaller than that of IrSb3; thus, void filling shows promise as a method for improving the thermoelectric properties of th…
A plane-wave semiempirical pseudopotential method with nonlocal potentials and spin-orbit coupling is used to calculate the electronic structure of surface-passivated wurtzite CdSe quantum dots with up to 1000 atoms. The calculated optical absorption spectrum reproduces the features of the experimental results and the…
Recently, it has been shown theoretically that it may be possible to increase the thermoelectric figure of merit ($Z$) of certain materials by preparing them in the form of two-dimensional quantum-well structures. Using $\mathrm{PbTe}/{\mathrm{Pb}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}{\mathrm{Eu}}_{x}\mathrm{Te}$ multiple-quantum-well…
We develop a simple method leading to the determination of important parameters for the praseodymium-doped fluoride fibre amplifier (PDFFA), such as the non-radiative energy transfer upconversion coefficient or pump-excited state absorption cross section . We apply this method to five ZBLAN bulks of different concentr…
A novel method is described for preparing high-quality thin films which exhibit an abrupt resistivity change of 4 - 5 orders of magnitude at about ; this is the best result among those so far prepared on non-crystal substrates. To show the difference from the ordinary sol - gel method which uses vanadium alkoxide as p…
The probability, , of losses of N and O atoms on Pyrex walls was determined from a fit of calculated to measured concentrations [O] and [NO] in a low-pressure glow discharge in , for percentage concentrations . The kinetic model used for calculations includes a detailed description of the processes occurring in the di…
Electric fields have been used in the processing of thin film, liquid crystal thermosets to produce cured network structures selectively oriented either parallel or perpendicular to a film substrate. Orientation, which depends on both the liquid crystal nature of the thermosets and their dielectric anisotropy, is sele…
This paper presents an overview of semiconductor ultraviolet (UV) detectors that are currently available and associated technologies that are undergoing further development. At the beginning, the classification of UV detectors and general requirements imposed on these detectors are presented. Further consideration are…
We study surface diffusion in the framework of a generalized Frenkel-Kontorova model with a nonconvex transverse degree of freedom. The model describes a lattice of atoms with a given concentration interacting by Morse-type forces, the lattice being subjected to a two-dimensional substrate potential which is periodic…
Molecular dynamics simulations are used to investigate the atomic mobility and diffusivity of a generalized Frenkel-Kontorova model which takes into account anharmonic (exponential) interaction of atoms subjected to a three-dimensional substrate potential periodic in two dimensions and nonconvex (Morse) in the third d…
The relationship between solid-state morphology and heat-deflection temperature (HDT) of nucleated polypropylenes was studied. Using optical microscopy to characterize the morphology and DMTA to determine the temperature dependence of the tensile modulus, a composite model was adapted to estimate the HDT. Both compres…
The swelling behavior of the complex film formed from pectin and chitosan was studied. The swelling degree increased sharply in the case of pH less than 2 and larger than 7. The swelling mechanisms of the complex film in acidic and alkaline medium are discussed, respectively. Moreover, the swelling degree could be mod…

The aging of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) when exposed to drastic climatic conditions (Canadian winter, characterized by low temperature and abrupt temperature variations between the night and the day) was studied. The importance of degradation was determined by evaluating the microstructural changes in HDPE (i.e.…

We present a new method for establishing and exploiting a multicanonical distribution for Monte Carlo sampling across an extended space of macrostates, with particular reference to the study of first-order phase transitions. The method exploits the information contained in measurements of the transition rate between m…
Self-diffusion in a suspension of spherical particles in steady linear shear flow is investigated by following the time evolution of the correlation of number density fluctuations. Expressions are presented for the evaluation of the self-diffusivity in a suspension which is either raacroscopically quiescent or in line…
The vibrational spectrum of C$_{60}$ is compared to the spectrum of a classical isotropic elastic spherical shell. We show correlations between the low frequency modes of C$_{60}$ and those of the spherical shell. We find the spherical model gives the approximate frequency ordering for the low frequency modes. We esti…
A system of three particles undergoing inelastic collisions in arbitrary spatial dimensions is studied with the aim of establishing the domain of ``inelastic collapse''---an infinite number of collisions which take place in a finite time. Analytic and simulation results show that for a sufficiently small restitution c…
