We propose a high-transmittance multi-domain vertical alignment liquid crystal device with a protrusion structure. Disclination lines, which inevitably appear at the boundaries of domains in a multi-domain structure, can be reduced by adding a protrusion structure on the top substrate. The transmittance was improved b…

The effect of calcium stearates (CaSt 2 ) and zinc stearates (ZnSt 2 ) on polyene formation of poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) was investigated by gel content, ultraviolet (UV)–visible, Fourier transform infrared and static stability analyses. The linear polyene sequences are preferred to form in pure PVC and the PVC/CaSt…

In this work, an atomic force microscope (AFM) is combined with a confocal Raman spectroscopy setup to follow in situ the evolution of the G-band feature of isolated single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) under transverse deformation. The SWNTs are pressed by a gold AFM tip against the substrate where they are sitting.…

The nitration of methyl benzoate is studied from a chemical and a kinetic point of view. The reaction network through which the system could evolve following the loss of thermal control or the uncorrect feed of the reagents is completely characterized. The data collected during the present investigation indicate that…

Abstract A square grain model is proposed for the calculation of the area‐specific resistance (ASR) of porous cathodes for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) by means of the finite element approach. The grains and pores are represented by squares of equal side length. The grain boundaries are assumed to be thin slabs of u…

Empirical potential molecular dynamics (EPMD) simulations of 1-bar eutectic composition liquid in the system CaAl 2 Si 2 O 8 -CaMgSi 2 O 6 have been conducted using the interatomic pair-potential of Matsui (1998). Simulations using ~10 000 atoms over a wide range of conditions (r: 2200-5000 kg/m3; T: 1600-5500 K; P: 0…

Using first-principles calculations and analysis, we show that to create shallow n-type dopants in oxides, anion site doping is preferred for more covalent oxides such as SnO2 and cation site doping is preferred for more ionic oxides such as ZnO. This is because for more ionic oxides, the conduction band minimum (CBM)…

Abstract Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) dissolved in ethylene glycol is subjected to microwave (MW) irradiation for 1 h to determine possible degradation. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy results show that MW treatment produces a minor effect on the solutions. Ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy suggests that PVA could…

Synchrotron x-ray nano-tomography was used to characterize the microstructures of multi-layer ceramic capacitors before and after sintering. 3D microstructures of the same sample were reconstructed and quantitatively analyzed. The discontinuities observed in inner electrodes were found to originate from initial hetero…

We prove that the two-dimensional Schrödinger operator with a potential having the symmetry of a honeycomb structure has dispersion surfaces with conical singularities ( <italic>Dirac points</italic> ) at the vertices of its Brillouin zone. No assumptions are made on the size of the potential. We then prove the robust…
