Lanthanum modified lead zirconate titanate (PLZT:8∕60∕40) ceramics prepared by a sol-gel route showed a well-defined microstructure comprising of grains separated by boundaries. Complex impedance spectroscopy has provided a convincing evidence for the existence of both grain (bulk) and grain-boundary effects that were…
It is shown that a system of two coupled planar material sheets possessing surface mode (polariton) resonances can be used for the purpose of evanescent field restoration and, thus, for sub-wavelength near-field imaging. The sheets are placed in free space so that they are parallel and separated by a certain distance.…
Abstract Ultra‐high specific surface cellulose fibers with an average diameter of 500 nm were generated from electrospinning and alkaline hydrolysis of cellulose acetate and used as porous supports for enzyme immobilization. The cellulose fiber surfaces were reacted with polyethylene glycol (PEG) diacylchloride to sim…
The in-plane resistivity $\ensuremath{\rho}$ and thermal conductivity $\ensuremath{\kappa}$ of single crystal ${\mathrm{N}\mathrm{a}}_{0.7}{\mathrm{C}\mathrm{o}\mathrm{O}}_{2}$ were measured down to 40 mK. Verification of the Wiedemann-Franz law, $\ensuremath{\kappa}/T={L}_{0}/\ensuremath{\rho}$ as $T\ensuremath{\righ…
Abstract This investigation describes two methods to obtain rubber composites based on natural rubber (NR) and organophilic layered silicates. In order to improve the exfoliation and compatibilization of the organoclays with the rubber matrix, a new approach which involves swelling of the organoclays with an elastomer…
A new structural phase transition has been observed at low temperatures for the one third of a monolayer (alpha phase) of Pb on Ge(111) using a variable-temperature scanning tunneling microscope. The well-known (r3xr3)R30 to (3x3) transition is accompanied by a new structural phase transition from (3x3) to a disordere…
We report here the preparation and measurements on the susceptibility, sound velocity and internal friction for Ni-Pt systems. We then compare these experimental results with the first principle theoretical predictions and show that there is reasonable agreement with experiment and theory.
The electronic and geometric properties of bulk fcc delta-plutonium and the quantum size effects in the surface energies and the work functions of the (001) ultra thin films (UTF) up to 7 layers have been investigated with periodic density functional theory calculations within the full-potential linearized augmented-p…
Ion assisted deposition (IAD) has been investigated for the growth of GaN, and the resulting films studied by x-ray diffraction and absorption spectroscopy and by transmission electron microscopy. IAD grown stoichiometric GaN consists of random-stacked quasicrystals of some 3 nm diameter. Amorphous material is formed…
We present a microscopic study of single-electron tunneling in nanomechanical double-barrier tunneling junctions formed using a vibrating scanning nanoprobe and a metallic nanoparticle connected to a metallic substrate through a molecular bridge. We analyze the motion of single electrons on and off the nanoparticle th…
We report evidence of the absence of zero thermal expansion in well-characterized high-quality polycrystalline samples of YbGaGe. High-quality samples of YbGaGe were produced from high-purity starting elements and were extensively characterized using x-ray powder diffraction, differential thermal analysis, atomic emis…
The structural phase transformations of 0.7Pb(Mg1∕3Nb2∕3)O3-0.3PbTiO3 (PMN-30%PT) have been studied using x-ray diffraction (XRD) and neutron scattering as a function of temperature and electric field. We observe the phase transformational sequence (i) cubic (C)→ tetragonal (T)→ rhombohedral (R) in the zero-field-cool…
Abstract Ultrafine fibers of bisphenol‐A polysulfone (PSF) were prepared by electrospinning of PSF solutions in mixtures of N , N ‐dimethylacetamide (DMAC) and acetone at high voltages. The morphology of the electrospun PSF fibers was investigated by scanning electron microscopy. Results showed that the concentration…
Intragenic complementation is a unique property of oligomeric enzymes with which to study subunit-subunit interactions. Complementation occurs when different subunits, each possessing distinct mutations that render the individual homomutant proteins inactive, interact to form a heteromutant protein with partial recove…
Based on BFS model and using Monte Carlo simulation we confirms the de-alloying in immiscible Au/Ni(110) system, and the critical Au coverage when de-alloying happens is also consistent with experiments. At the same time our simulation show that the structural phase transition will lead to the saturation of the number…
We have derived the local electric field inside graded metal-dielectric composite films with weak nonlinearity analytically, which further yields the effective linear dielectric constant and third-order nonlinear susceptibility of the graded structures. As a result, the composition-dependent gradation can produce a br…
We study dynamical optical response of a nematic liquid crystal cell that undergoes the splay-bend transition after applying the voltage across the cell. We formulate a simplified model that takes into account both the flexoelectric coupling and the surface rotational viscosity. The dynamic equations of the model were…
We derive a new two-dimensional model for the melt flows and interface instability in aluminum reduction cells. The model is based on the de St. Venant shallow water equations and incorporates the essential features of the system such as the magnetohydrodynamic instability mechanism and non-linear coupling between the…
A novel self-aligned 'soft masking' method that is compatible with traditional photolithographic processes is demonstrated. This method uses a suspension of ultrafine iron oxide grains (ferrofluid) to protect or de-protect selected areas of a magnetically patterned substrate according to a programmable sequence. Autom…
We predict by using molecular simulation that a novel class of carbonaceous materials called graphitic carbon inverse opal (GCIO) provides an excellent absorbent for hydrogen storage at room temperature. Simulation results based on well-calibrated force fields show that the gravimetric delivery amount of hydrogen at T…
