Dilute fixed fiber beds provide a model system for studying drop dynamics in disordered flows. Fluctuations about the mean uniform velocity are generated by fiber elements within the media, and the disturbance velocities far from any single fiber (at distances on the order of the pore size) have been predicted to be s…

The tensile yielding of multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) has been studied using molecular-dynamics simulations and a transition state theory based model. We find a strong dependence of the yielding on the strain rate. A critical strain rate has been predicted above/below which yielding strain of a MWCNT is larger/s…

Nanometer metal particles of tailored size (3−5 nm) and composition prepared via inverse microemulsion were encapsulated by ultrathin coatings (<2.5 nm) of inorganic porous aerogels covered with surface −OH groups. These composite materials formed metastable colloids in solvent(s), and the organic surfactant molecules…

Ordering and quantum fluctuations of orbital degrees of freedom are studied theoretically for LaVO3 in the spin-C-type antiferromagnetic state. The effective Hamiltonian for the orbital pseudospin shows strong one-dimensional anisotropy due to the negative interference among various exchange processes. This significan…

Fabrication of field emitters by the radio-frequency plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition of vertically aligned carbon nanotubes (CNT) on soda-lime glass is reported. CNT was produced at 400 °C by the control of the collision energy of carbonic cations to a substrate through a dc bias voltage. The CNTs produced i…

In the structure of graphite, graphene hexagon sheets are stacked in an AB stacking mode as shown in Figure 1.3. Such as mode is characterized by strong in-plane C-C bonds and weak interlayer interaction. This structural feature imparts two-dimensionality to its electronic structure. In the in-plane hexagon carbon net…

A theory of multiphonon relaxation for rare-earth ions in ionic crystals and glasses is presented. The theory is based on the static coupling scheme. The electron-vibration coupling is assumed to be linear with respect to the relative ligand rare-earth displacements. The multiphonon transitions are induced by higher-o…

The accuracy of the Judd-Ofelt theory is investigated in several rare earth doped glasses. Using a normalized method to fit the experimental data, we show that an average accuracy of 5 to 15% is often obtained. However, large errors (up to 35%) can be found on some transitions, even in the case of ions usually conside…
