We present a density functional theory study of colloidal interactions in a concentrated polymer solution. The colloids are modeled as hard spheres and polymers are modeled as freely jointed tangent hard sphere chains. Our theoretical results for the polymer-mediated mean force between two dilute colloids are compared…

Sonoluminescence is the light emission phenomenon from collapsing bubbles in liquid irradiated by an ultrasonic wave. In the present review, theoretical and experimental studies of the two types of sonoluminescence [single‐bubble sonoluminescence (SBSL) and multibubble sonoluminescence (MBSL)] are described. SBSL is a…

Abstract Between composite materials, shape memory alloy (SMA) composites are having a more and more relevant role. Typically, SMA wires are embedded in a metallic or a polymeric matrix to obtain materials with native multi‐functionality and adaptive properties. This work approaches the computational study of the mech…

An efficient algorithm is presented for numerically evaluating a self-consistent field theoretic (SCFT) model of an AB diblock copolymer that incorporates continuous polydispersity in one of the blocks. An interesting segregation effect is found in which chains of intermediate molecular weight are concentrated at doma…

We numerically study a one-dimensional conserved growth equation with competing linear (Ehrlich-Schwoebel) and nonlinear instabilities. As a control parameter is varied, this model exhibits a non-equilibrium phase transition between two mounded states, one of which exhibits slope selection and the other does not. The…

Within the solid-on-solid (SOS) approximation, we carry out a calculation of the orientational dependence of the step stiffness on a square lattice with nearest and next-nearest neighbor interactions. At low temperature our result reduces to a simple, transparent expression. The effect of the strongest trio (three-sit…

The coefficient of normal restitution in an oblique impact is theoretically studied. Using a two-dimensional lattice models for an elastic disk and an elastic wall, we demonstrate that the coefficient of normal restitution can exceed one and has a peak against the incident angle in our simulation. Finally, we explain…

We study a binary Lennard-Jones system below the glass transition with molecular dynamics simulations. To investigate the dynamics we focus on events (jumps) where a particle escapes the cage formed by its neighbors. Using single particle trajectories we define a jump by comparing for each particle its fluctuations wi…

We report on a detailed, temperature-dependent, off-resonant Raman scattering study of glassy and supercooled selenium. Raman spectra in the frequency regime of the first-order scattering (5-450 cm(-1)) have been recorded over a wide temperature range, i.e., 143-353 K. To facilitate the analysis, the spectra have intu…

Dynamics is studied of an electron in a quasi-one-dimensional ballistic ring under circularly polarized electromagnetic field propagating along the normal to the ring plane. The average emission intensity from the ring is calculated. The value and direction of the electron average angular velocity in the ring depend o…

Fe2O3 nanoparticles of different sizes ranging from 22 to 56nm were synthesized chemically by a modified sol-gel method. Pure alpha phase particles as well as particles with admixture of alpha and gamma phase were obtained and identified by x-ray and Mössbauer measurements. Different size and phase controlling paramet…

We theoretically study the trapping time distribution and the efficiency of the excitation energy transport in dendritic systems. Trapping of excitations, created at the periphery of the dendrimer, on a trap located at its core, is used as a probe of the efficiency of the energy transport across the dendrimer. The tra…

Nanomechanical properties of single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) reinforced epoxy composites with varying weight percentage (0, 1, 3, and 5 wt%) of nanotubes were measured by nanoindentation and nanoscratch techniques. Hardness and elastic modulus were measured using a nanoindenter. Scratch resistance and scratch dam…

Abstract An always increasing knowledge on material properties as well as a progressively more sophisticated production technology make shape memory alloys (SMA) extremely interesting for the industrial world. At the same time, SMA devices are typically characterized by complex multi‐axial stress states as well as non…

Published observations, mainly on phytoplankton, suggest that (N 2 -fixing) cyanobacteria can outgrow diatoms under nitrate limitation. This study focussed on the competition for limiting nitrogen between 3 diatom species and 2 cyanobacteria species in biofilms. The potential of the diatom species Nitzschia perminuta…

The sudden change of the velocity, so-called "kink," of the dispersing peak in angle resolved photoelectron spectroscopy is a well-known feature in the high temperature superconducting cuprates. Currently, the origin of the kink is being much debated, but a consensus has not emerged yet. Here, we present a study of th…

Solution-grown lamellar single crystals of poly(11-undecalactone) (PUDL) have been prepared in 1-hexanol. The lozenge and hexagonal-shaped single crystals were grown simultaneously, and these crystals gave well-resolved electron diffraction diagrams from which the orthogonal reciprocal lattice with the parameters a* =…

Numerous previous studies have established that the addition of a microphase-ordered AB diblock copolymer to a thin homopolymer A (hA) film can slow, if not altogether prevent, film rupture and subsequent film dewetting on a hard substrate such as silica. However, only a few reports have examined comparable phenomena…
