To study in detail the interaction of copper atoms and clusters in various, potentially important catalytic oxidation states (Cu, Cu +, and Cu 2+ ) on polar surfaces, we have applied a hybrid QM/MM embedding model within the computational chemistry package ChemShell. Using the model, we study specific Cu/ZnO surface s…
A critical step toward the construction of complex architectures based on nanoscale carbonaceous materials is to interface these structures with other useful nanoscale building blocks. Herein we report the synthesis of a new class of binary nanomaterials from single-walled carbon nanohorns and nanoparticles by utilizi…
Epoxy-silicate nanocomposites were prepared by dispersing synthetic layered silicates modified with alkylammonium ions. In the dispersing process, the organically modified layered silicates were mixed in epoxy resin with shearing, and aggregations of the silicates were removed by centrifugal separation after mixing ep…
With a high-pressure gas treatment it is possible to force extra gas inside a cellular polymer film structure, expand the film and thus reduce the film stiffness. A permanent increase in the film thickness can be in the range of 100% when using ambient temperature of about 90/spl deg/C and gas pressure of about 20 bar…
The complexation between a polyion and an oppositely charged spherical macroion in the framework of the primitive model has been studied by the use of Monte Carlo simulations. The polyion length, linear charge density, and bare persistence length are varied systematically, while the properties of the macroion are kept…
The structure of gold cyanide, AuCN, has been determined at 10 and 300 K using total neutron diffraction. The structure consists of infinite [bond]Au[bond](CN)[bond]Au[bond](CN)[bond] linear chains, hexagonally packed, with the gold atoms in sheets. The Au-C and Au-N bond lengths are found to be identical, with d(Au(-…
A simulation model of a continuous disc type 6.6 kV transformer winding was used to study the propagation behaviour of partial discharge (PD) pulses. The model based on multi-conductor transmission line theory uses a single turn as a circuit element with the capacitance, inductance, and losses calculated as distribute…
Single-walled carbon nanotubes are efficiently cut to precise submicrometer lengths and very narrow length distributions. Chemical functional groups are placed selectively only at the ends without the nanotube walls being modified or damaged. The new methodology includes lithography to place protective photoresist pat…
This work tests the hypothesis that tridentate oxoanions are especially effective stabilizers of transition-metal nanoclusters when the O−O distance of the anions matches closely the M−M (M = metal) distance atop the nanocluster surface. Specifically, we test the hypothesis that HPO 4 2 - with its 2.5 Å O−O distance i…
Internet electronic products have requirements different from those of personal computers (PCs). The increasing importance of Internet electronics is driving changes in development of IC technology. One important characteristic of the Internet Age is computational disaggregation. Whereas, over the past 20 years, PCs h…
Surface hydrophobicity is one of the factors that contribute to the superior performance of polymer insulators when compared to porcelain. However, corona discharges that can be generated locally due to high electric field can destroy hydrophobicity and also contribute to the degradation of the insulator. This paper p…
After many years of development, liquid crystalline polymer materials are finally ready for significant use as a printed circuit board material. These materials have a ways had very attractive electrical and physical properties but were a challenge to be made into industry acceptable circuit boards. Through extensive…
This paper proposed a technique for estimating the parameters of three-phase induction motor in order to conduct on-site energy audits of existing motors, which are then used to project a cost savings. This proposed technique uses only a few sets of data (voltage, current, speed, power factor or torque if possible) fr…
The subwavelength imaging quality of a metamaterial superlens is studied numerically in the wavevector domain. Examples of image compression and magnification are given and resolution limits are discussed. A minimal resolution of /spl lambda//6 is obtained using a 36 nm silver film at 364 nm wavelength. The simulation…
The aging of colloidal gels is investigated using very long duration Brownian dynamics simulations. The Asakura-Oosawa description of the depletion interaction is used to model a simple colloid polymer mixture. Several regimes are identified during gel formation. The intermediate scattering function displays a double…
A new 2D modeling method for E-core transformers adds an extended flux return path to the model of the section perpendicular to the core. Averaged with a section parallel to the core modified to have the same reluctance as the 3D model, the finite-element simulation results for total magnetic energy and magnetic energ…
The knowledge of partial discharge (PD) as a physical phenomenon has made considerable progress in the last decade(s). These efforts have led to a validated statistical-mathematical model able to simulate the PD behavior in dielectric bounded spheroidal cavities. Recent studies demonstrated that an approach based on s…
Double-layer electrochemical capacitors (EC), also known as ultra-capacitors or super-capacitors, are an emerging storage technology already being used for applications such as DC motor drives, UPS systems, and electric vehicles. The latest EC store enough energy to rival a lead-acid battery and can outperform batteri…
Abstract The preparation and properties of fourteen novel paramagnetic [Ni II x ] aggregates bridged by pivalate, pyrazolinolate and in most cases hydroxide are reported. A rich structural diversity has been achieved by changing the nature of the alkali of the base used during the synthesis, leading to the nuclearitie…
Conventional core loss estimation methods exhibit limitations in dealing with important aspects of switching power converter applications such as different duty cycles, discontinuous-conduction-mode, variable switching frequency, or variable duty cycle operation. These limitations are particularly evident when trying…
