This study extends DFT-SQM (density functional theory−scaled quantum mechanical) analysis to infrared and resonance Raman spectra of nickel(II) tetraphenylporphyrin (NiTPP), the largest molecular system so far analyzed with this methodology. NiTPP is of interest because of extensive empirical studies; its tendency to…
From neutron powder diffraction studies performed on the ordered oxygen deficient perovskite ${\mathrm{HoBaCo}}_{2}{\mathrm{O}}_{5},$ we have observed two structural phase transitions at ${T}_{N}\ensuremath{\sim}340$ K and ${T}_{\mathrm{CO}}\ensuremath{\sim}210$ K, corresponding to the occurrence of magnetism and the…
We present here high-resolution, 19 F NMR spectra, collected with sample spinning rates to 25 kHz, for sodium and calcium silicate and aluminosilicate glasses. Several distinct fluoride ion sites are well resolved and can be assigned to various coordination environments based on clear similarities to crystalline model…
Compact tension tests and indentation‐fracture tests have been conducted to study the effects of an applied electric field on the fracture toughness ( K I C ) of poled commercial lead zirconate titanate (PZT) ceramics. The experimental results show that an applied electric field, either parallel or antiparallel to the…
The new nonlinear optical crystal K2Al2B2O7 is discovered with the molecular engineering approach on the basis of anionic group theory. An optically perfect single crystal with space group P321, free of moisture and hygroscopy, is readily grown by the top-seeding flux method. Its transparence range covers 180 to 3600…
Association with a surface is an important aspect of survival for microorganisms in natural and manmade environments/Both bacteria and diatoms are involved in such associations. In many cases, this leads to surface fouling, which often results in surface deterioration and mechanical failure in industrial systems. We n…
Photofabrication of surface relief grating (SRG) on very high- T g and lower- T g azobenzene functionalized polymers was investigated. Polymers with different degrees of functionalization were designed and synthesized to understand the chemical and physical intricacies involved at the molecular level in the photofabri…
A room temperature free shear strain of 5.7% is reported in a single crystal of Ni–Mn–Ga having a composition close to the Heusler alloy Ni2MnGa. A twin boundary was created in a 2 mm×2 mm×25 mm single crystal using a permanent magnet with surface field strength of about 320 000 A/m. A sharp 6.5° bend occurs in the sa…
Direct oxidation of sulfite to sulfate occurs in various photo- and chemotrophic sulfur oxidizing microorganisms as the final step in the oxidation of reduced sulfur compounds and is catalyzed by sulfite:cytochrome c oxidoreductase (EC ). Here we show that the enzyme from Thiobacillus novellus is a periplasmically loc…
Nanostructural hybrid organic–inorganic lanthanide complex films were prepared in situ by use of a novel sol-gel precursor containing pendant triethoxysilyl and carboxyl groups (see Figure). The resulting transparent and crack-free films gave rise to strong red or green emission, even at low lanthanide ion concentrati…
Several wafer level chip scale package (WLCSP) technologies have been developed which generate fully packaged and tested chips on the wafer prior to dicing. Many of these technologies are based on simple peripheral pad redistribution technology followed by attachment of 0.3-0.5 mm solder balls. The larger standoff gen…
Electron field emission from amorphous carbon is found to depend on the clustering of the sp2 phase. The size of the sp2 phase is varied by thermal annealing and it dominates the effect of other parameters, such as chemical composition, surface termination, sp3 content, or conductivity. The optimum size of the sp2 pha…
Polarization dependent x-ray-absorption measurements were performed on pure and Cr-doped ${\mathrm{V}}_{2}{\mathrm{O}}_{3}$ single crystals in the antiferromagnetic insulating, paramagnetic insulating, and metallic phases. The orbital occupation of the V ${3d}^{2}$ ion is found to depend appreciably on the phase, but…
This paper addresses the modeling of strains generated by magnetostrictive transducers in response to applied magnetic fields. The measured strains depend on both the rotation of moments within the material in response to the field and the elastic properties of the material. The magnetic behavior is characterized by c…
A review of principle topical issues on the basic science of glasses and amorphous thin-films. It also includes select applications of these materials in current and evolving technologies, including optical recording, imaging, solar cells, battery technology and field-emission displays. The glass systems of interest i…
Systematic studies of cooperative upconversion and Yb3+–Er3+ energy transfer in newly developed phosphate glasses were performed by a rate-equation formalism. The cooperative-upconversion coefficients of the 4I13/2 level for different Er3+ concentrations were determined from the luminescence-decay curves for high pump…
A novel non-contact strain measurement technique has been employed to measure the tensile properties of extremely small ‘microsamples’ of pure high-density ultrafine-grained Al (ufg-Al) nanocrystalline Cu (n-Cu) and nanocrystalline Ni (n-Ni). These microsample tests confirmed the absence of Young's modulus variations…
A new series of Sm(CowFevCuxZry)z alloys has been developed to produce magnets with high intrinsic coercivity Hci at high temperatures for use up to 550 °C. The maximum use temperature is defined as TM, which is the maximum temperature at which the extrinsic demagnetization curve is a straight line. An important featu…
We show numerically that the reflectivity of multilayer extreme-UV (EUV) mirrors tuned for the 11-14-nm spectral region, for which the two-component, Mo/Be and Mo/Si multilayer systems with constant layer thickness are commonly used, can be enhanced significantly when we incorporate additional materials within the sta…
Two enantiomeric amphiphilic graft copolymers consisting of water soluble poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (HEMA) and biodegradable oligo(L-lactide) (OLLA) or oligo(D-lactide) (ODLA) were synthesized by free radical copolymerization. HEMA-OL(D)LA macromonomers were synthesized by ring opening polymerization of L- or…
