Abstract Discrepancies between the length of a traditionally defined Kuhn segment length ( l k ) and a bead size estimated from experimental data have been reported in a number of articles. In this work we emphasize that the traditional definition of the Kuhn segment is an oversimplification and the characteristic rat…

Abstract Wide‐angle X‐ray scattering and differential scanning calorimetry measurements have been conducted on seven random copolymers of propylene with ethylene in order to study the γ phase formation as a function of the comonomer content. The lamellar morphology of the samples was also investigated by small‐angle X…

Abstract The crystal structures of nylon‐6 and nylon‐6/clay fibers were investigated on annealing and drawing. Annealing increased the γ‐crystalline form of both fibers, as indicated by the DSC curves, and its effect was dominant in nylon‐6/clay fiber. On drawing, the γ‐crystalline form was easily converted into the α…

The EMBL Hamburg Outstation currently operates five synchrotron beamlines for protein crystallography. The strongest of these beamlines is the fixed-energy beamline BW7B which receives about half of the radiation (1.5 mrad) from a 56 pole wiggler located at the DORIS III storage ring at the German synchrotron facility…

Resonance Raman spectroscopy with an energy tunable system is used to analyze the 600-1100 cm(-1) spectral region in single-wall carbon nanotubes. Sharp peaks are associated with the combination of zone folded optic and acoustic branches from 2D graphite. These combination modes exhibit a peculiar dependence on the ex…

Batteries based on three dimensional microstructures are expected to offer significant advantages in comparison to conventional two dimensional batteries. One of the key elements for creating new types of 3D microbatteries is fabricating high-aspect-ratio carbon structures. Our efforts on building positive photoresist…

ABSTRACT Three models for the dynamics of seismic airgun‐generated bubbles and their associated far‐field signals are developed and compared with geophysical data. The first model of an airgun‐generated bubble uses a spherical approximation, the second is an approximate Lagrangian model which allows for small deformat…

Abstract Thermal diffusivity and specific heat at constant pressure of a collection of crosslinked closed cell polyethylene foams have been measured at room temperature using the transient plane source (TPS) method. A theoretical model to predict the thermal diffusivity has been proposed. The predictions of this model…

Atomic oxygen is formed in the low Earth orbital environment (LEO) by photo dissociation of diatomic oxygen by short wavelength (< 243 nm) solar radiation which has sufficient energy to break the 5.12 eV O2 diatomic bond in an environment where the mean free path is sufficiently long (~ 108 meters) that the probabi…

We present an ab initio quantum theory of the metal-insulator transition in ${\mathrm{T}\mathrm{i}}_{2}{\mathrm{O}}_{3}$. The recently developed cluster $\mathrm{L}\mathrm{D}\mathrm{A}+\mathrm{D}\mathrm{M}\mathrm{F}\mathrm{T}$ scheme is applied to describe the many-body features of this compound. The conventional sing…

We examine one overlooked in previous investigations aspect of well - known Landau - Zener (LZ) problem, namely, the behavior in the intermediate, i.e. close to a crossing point, energy region, when all four LZ states are coupled and should be taken into account. We calculate the 4 x 4 connection matrix in this interm…

We suggest a consistent microscopic theory of spin injection from a ferromagnet (FM) into a semiconductor (S). It describes tunneling and emission of electrons through modified FM-S Schottky barrier with an ultrathin heavily doped interfacial S layer . We calculate nonlinear spin-selective properties of such a reverse…

It has been discovered that heterostructure bicrystal arrangements lead to field asymmetry in guided wave structures. Here a study is conducted over a range of nominal permittivity values to see if the effect is present in widely varying dielectric materials. Marked shifts of the field distribution occurs in some case…
