The magnetization reversal of Cu/NiFe and Nb/NiFe composite wires carrying AC current is studied. The frequency spectrum of a voltage induced in a pick-up coil wound around the wire is analyzed. The frequency spectrum is shown to consist of even harmonics within a wide range of AC current amplitudes and longitudinal D…
We report the first demonstration that carbon nanotubes can be trapped and manipulated by optical tweezers. This observation is surprising because individual nanotubes are substantially smaller than the wavelength of light, and thus should not be amenable to optical trapping. Even so, nanotube bundles, and perhaps eve…
Polymer-grafted magnetite (Fe 3 O 4 ) nanoparticles (diameter about 10 nm) were prepared through a direct polymer grafting reaction from their surfaces. The chemisorbed initiator (TEMPO-based alkoxyamine) for nitroxide-mediated radical polymerization with a phosphoric acid group gave controlled polystyrene (PS) and po…
The control objectives of batch crystallization processes are often defined in terms of particle size distribution (PSD), or properties related to the PSD, viz. average particle size, product filterability, dry solids flow properties, etc. To achieve these control objectives, a constrained nonlinear model-based optimi…
A super‐amphiphobic polymeric coating , i.e., one that shows both water‐ and oil‐repellent properties, produced by a simple, one‐step casting process from two common polymers, is described. The micro–nano binary structure of the film has similarities to that of a lotus leaf. The Figure shows a water droplet on the coa…
We measured the dispersion of the graphite optical phonons in the in-plane Brillouin zone by inelastic x-ray scattering. The longitudinal and transverse optical branches cross along the $\ensuremath{\Gamma}\mathrm{\text{\ensuremath{-}}}K$ as well as the $\ensuremath{\Gamma}\mathrm{\text{\ensuremath{-}}}M$ direction. T…
The in‐situ synthesis of oligo(ethylene glycol)‐functionalized polymer brushes from a self‐assembled monolayer of an alkanethiol on gold that presents a tethered initiator by surface‐initiated atom transfer radical polymerization is reported. These polymer brushes exhibit no detectable adsorption of proteins, and are…
Abstract The conventional procedure for electrospinning has been modified to generate nanofibers as uniaxially aligned arrays over large areas. The key to the success of this method was the use of a collector composed of two conductive strips separated by an insulating gap of variable width. Directed by electrostatic…
All homogeneous sphere packings were derived which correspond to point configurations of the 26 bivariant lattice complexes belonging to the hexagonal crystal family. They may be assigned to 109 sphere-packing types. Among these, there is a type of sphere packing with contact number 10 that was not described before. F…
We introduce a design of experiments (DOE) methodology to the optimization of a-SiO 2 structures using classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. This approach produces defect-free systems in good agreement with experimental results of radial distribution functions and angular distribution functions. Application o…
Abstract The degree of compatibilization between natural rubber (NR) and acrylonitrile‐butadiene rubber (NBR) was investigated by two different methods. NBR was chemically modified with maleic anhydride in a screw twin mixer with and without reaction initiator, benzoyl peroxide. Also, the effects of molecular weight o…
A ceramic matrix composite (CMC) plain weave composite material (DLR-XT) has been studied for its thermal transport behaviour. Three micro Unit Cell models have been developed for three different classes of manufacturing porosities, previously identified and quantified for the material, that take into account the ther…
A stochastic approach, using the Ising model combined with the Monte Carlo simulation, is employed to study the phenomenon of tongue tear failure in coated fabrics. The complicated mechanisms involved can be realistically simulated with a relatively simple algorithm. The important factors, especially the effects of th…
BACKGROUND: Gadolinium formulations, which are administered as contrast agents in magnetic resonance imaging examinations, interfere with colorimetric serum calcium determinations. METHODS: We performed an in vitro study to determine the extent to which three gadolinium formulations-gadodiamide (Omniscan), gadopenteta…
Nanotubes in electric fields: Electrochemistry of double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWCNTs; see picture) was studied for the first time. The DWCNT was prepared by pyrolysis of fullerene peapods, C60@SWCNTs. Responses to electrochemical doping of outer and inner walls were traced and distinguished by in situ Raman spectr…
Peculiarities of the non-local responses of spatially inhomogeneous insulating media to electromagnetic waves are considered within a phenomenological approach. In the case of a weak spatial dispersion (SD), a 'quasi-local' constitutive equation is derived, which allows one to isolate the effects of SD in relation to…
The 3d-transition-metal dioxo-, peroxo-, and superoxoclusters with the general composition MO2, M(O2), and MOO (M = Mn, Fe, Co, and Ni) were studied by DFT by the B1LYP functional. The dioxides in their ground states represent the global minima for the M + O2 system. Both ground-state dioxides and the lowest-energy pe…
Inspired by the water-repellent behavior of the micro- and nano-structured plant surfaces, superhydrophobic materials, with a water contact larger than 150 degree, have received a lot of research attentions recently. It has been suggested that contamination, oxidation and current conduction can be inhibited on such su…
Effects of encapsulated fullerene rotation on peapod electronic properties are studied by using Slater–Koster tight-binding calculations. We found that the encapsulated fullerenes can rotate freely in the space of a (10, 10) tube at room temperature, and the rotation of fullerenes will affect C 60 @ (10,10) peapod ele…
Abstract Mg x Zn 1− x O (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) layers without wurzite‐rocksalt phase mixing have been successfully grown by MBE on a‐plane sapphire substrates with ZnO buffer layers. The layers of x < 0.5 take wurzite (0001) structure eliminating the problem of wurzite‐rocksalt phase mixing reported previously between x = 0.3…
