A novel circular Dammann grating is proposed to generate uniform-intensity impulse rings corresponding to different diffraction orders in the far field. The intensities of the rings are determined by the coefficients of the circular sine series decomposition of the grating function. The definition of diffraction effic…

Fluoropolymers posses several advantageous properties for load-bearing structural components including higher strength at elevated temperatures and higher toughness at lowered temperatures. Stress-strain studies have been conducted on two homopolymers (Teflon (PTFE) and KEL-F 81 (PCTFE)) and two copolymers (KEL-F 800…

Abstract Summary: A new monomer, 2,4,6‐tris(4‐(1 H ‐pyrrol‐1‐yl)phenoxy)‐1,3,5‐triazine (Tria‐Py) was synthesized via the reaction of 4‐(1 H ‐pyrrol‐1‐yl)phenol with 2,4,6‐trichloro‐1,3,5‐triazine. It was electrochemically polymerized in a dichloromethane/acetonitrile solvent mixture. The polymer P(Tria‐Py) was charac…

The water diffusion mechanism in obsidian has been revisited with the advent of a new dating approach employing secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS). The water diffusion SIMS(+) profile and the concept of a surface saturation (SS) layer in obsidians both provide a sound basis for the new diffusion age equation (SIMS…

The development of monolithic methylsilsesquioxane (MSQ) materials with bicontinuous meso-/macroporous morphologies has proven to be advantageous for the fabrication of chromatographic stationary phases. However, it is currently very difficult to obtain suitable columns over a range of capillary sizes, owing to altera…

A facile and unique but versatile approach for the synthesis of highly organized mesoporous mixed-element oxide materials with defined structure, high heteroatom content, and stable active sites is presented (see figure). Because of the high homogeneity of the Al sites, the controlled immobilization of (bio)molecules…

A mechanism-based microscale kinetic theory for strain-induced structural changes (SCs) (that includes phase transformations (PTs) and chemical reactions (CRs)) is developed. Time is not an independent parameter in this theory; instead, plastic strain is a time-like parameter. Kinetics depends essentially on the ratio…

Isotopically enriched 10BN nanotubes, shown in the figure, have been produced for the first time. Secondary ion mass spectroscopy analysis confirms a high content of 10B in the nanotubes. The 10BN nanotubes are lightweight, have excellent mechanical properties, a stronger resistance to oxidation than carbon nanotubes,…

Quantification of energetics and kinetics for the band-edge exciton states of quantum dots and the long-lived dark state is important for better understanding of the underlying mechanism for single-particle intermittency and ensemble fluorescence intensity decay. Based on a multistate diffusion-reaction model by exten…

Dislocation dynamics (DD) simulations are used to investigate precipitation-induced strengthening in a Zr–1% Nb alloy. A method is proposed to carry out simulations under dynamical conditions in connection with the microstructure of the investigated alloy. First, a sensitivity study of simulation parameters, suspected…

In a previous deuterium NMR study conducted on a liquid crystalline (LC) polymer with laterally attached book-shaped molecules as the mesogenic moiety, we have revealed a biaxial nematic phase below the conventional uniaxial nematic phase (Phys. Rev. Lett. 2004, 92, 125501). To elucidate details of its formation, we h…

The microstructure and electronic structure of silicon-rich oxide (SRO) films were investigated using transmission electron microscopy and electron energy loss spectroscopy as the main analytical techniques. The as-deposited SRO film was found to be a single phase SiO1.0, as suggested by its electronic structure chara…

In order to determine the influence of the thermal history (fictive temperature) and OH content on the elastic properties of silica glass, we have investigated high resolution in situ Brillouin experiments on SiO(2) glass from room temperature to the supercooled liquid at 1773 K across the glass transition. The well k…

Abstract Summary: The flex‐fatigue life of carbon‐black‐filled SBR was dramatically improved by incorporation of 4–5 phr nanodispersed clay. Addition of clay did not decrease the degree of crosslinking of the composite but improved the hysteresis and tearing energy. ESEM observation of the flexing‐fracture morphology…

Using molecular dynamics simulation we examine changeovers among crystal, glass, and liquid at high density in a two dimensional binary mixture. We change the ratio between the diameters of the two components and the temperature. The transitions from crystal to glass or liquid occur with proliferation of defects. We v…
