In the present paper, we use molecular dynamics simulations to quantify the response of a finite size polarizable nanotube to the electric field created by a water environment. This response is calculated in a self-consistent way at each step of the simulation, leading to the evaluation of the energy and forces coming…
In the ocean, natural and artificial processes generate clouds of bubbles that scatter and attenuate sound. Measurements have shown that at the individual bubble resonance frequency, sound propagation in this medium is highly attenuated and dispersive. The existing theory to explain this behavior is deemed adequate aw…
Thanks to thermal quenching we investigated the relaxation of the metastable state of Na(0.32)Co[Fe(CN)6](0.74).3.4H2O at low temperature. A self-accelerated process has been observed in agreement with the cooperative character of the system, responsible for the large thermal hysteresis of the charge-transfer-induced…
We introduce and analyze a variational wave function for quasi-two-dimensional kappa-(ET)(2) organic salts containing strong local and nonlocal correlation effects. We find an unconventional superconducting ground state for intermediate charge carrier interaction, sandwiched between a conventional metal at weak coupli…
This paper deals with the analysis of surface waves supported by a metamaterial layer on a ground plane, and investigates the potentiality of these grounded slabs as substrates for planar antennas. Both double- and single-negative media, either epsilon- or mu-negative, are considered. As is known, such structures may…
The Commissariat à l’Energie Atomique (CEA) has recently developed and/or conducted experiments on several processes in support of the decommissioning of two French liquid-metal fast reactors (LMFRs), Rapsodie and Superphénix, as well as on the treatment of CEA sodium wastes. CEA has demonstrated that it is possible t…
Examined in this paper is the role of the metal electrode influencing the structure and electronic properties of semiconducting carbon nanotubes near the interface at low bias. Specifically, we present quantum-chemical calculations of finite sections of a (8,0) semiconducting single wall nanotube contacted with gold a…
The use of flowing liquid metal streams or “liquid walls” as a plasma contact surface is a very attractive option and has received considerable attention over the past several years both in the plasma physics and fusion engineering programs. A key issue for the feasibility of flowing liquid metal plasma facing compone…
The application of ultrasonic waves enhanced the wetting of alumina by Zn–Al filler alloy. Alumina ceramic was brazed to different metals such as Ti, Ni, Nb, Fe, and AISI 304 stainless steel using the Zn–5 mass-%Al brazing filler alloy. Different reaction products were formed at the alumina–metal interfaces, including…
Abstract This article describes the relationships between not only comonomer‐unit compositions but also their distributions and structures as well as properties for bacterial copoly(hydroxyalkanoate)s, including poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate‐ co ‐3‐hydroxyvalerate), poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate‐ co ‐3‐hydroxy‐propionate), poly(3‐h…
Hydrogen permeation measurements have been carried out on a super 13% Cr martensitic stainless steel over a range of temperatures (5°C to 70°C) under cathodic charging conditions. Trapping in this steel is predominantly reversible and is ascribed to the interface between retained austenite and the martensite phase. Th…
Abstract Biodegradable polymer composites consisting of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and cellulose fibers (CF) were prepared by our newly developed method. L‐Lactic acid (LA) was reacted by ring‐opening polymerization with aluminum triflate as a catalyst, glycerol as an initiator and CF as a filler, in simple plastic tubes…
We report on diffraction gratings consisting of continuous and well-aligned nematic films separated by polymer slices, which are originated in nematic-containing polymer composites when cured by a UV interference pattern. The diffraction efficiency of these gratings is experimentally investigated in detail; its temper…
An experimental investigation of the behavior of partial discharges occurring in insulation cavities as a function of light irradiation conditions is presented in this paper. Partial discharge inception voltage (PDIV) measurements were performed for different irradiation conditions of the test objects (visible light,…
A thin-film transistor consisting of a ZnO active layer and a ZrO 2 insulating layer was fabricated on a tin-doped indium oxide sputtered glass substrate as well as on a SiO 2 /Si wafer. The ZnO and ZrO 2 layers were deposited by a sol–gel, dip-coating procedure. The resultant ZrO 2 layer was about 150 nm thick and th…
CoFe-coated carbon nanotube (CNT) probes have been successfully fabricated by a radio-frequency sputtering method. The sputtering conditions for obtaining a uniform ferromagnetic film on the CNT probe were investigated. The optimal sputtering conditions were determined from the observations using a scanning electron m…
The properties of the silica layer during the formation of the mesoporous material MCM-41 were investigated by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) experiments carried out on a specifically designed, organo(trialkoxy)silane spin probe, SL1SiEt. Minute amounts of the spin probe were co-condensed with the silica source…
Helical carbon nanocoils exhibit excellent field emission properties, and are thus expected to be applicable as electron emitters in field emission displays. We have synthesized carbon nanocoils with different diameters by the catalytic thermal decomposition of acetylene using iron–indium–tin–oxide catalysts. It is fo…
The textile-based materials, equipped with nanotechnology and electronics, have a major role in the development of high-tech milltary uniforms and materials. Active intelligent textile systems, integrated to electronics, have the capacity of improving the combat soldiers performance by sensing, adopting themselves and…
Oxidized polyvinyl alcohol hydrolase (OPH) and polyvinyl alcohol dehydrogenase were found to be constitutively present in the periplasm of Sphingomonas sp. strain 113P3 (formerly Pseudomonas sp. 113P3). The OPH was purified to homogeneity with a yield of 40 % and a 5.9-fold increase in specific activity. The enzyme wa…
