In April 1995, Health Physics published a review paper titled "Radioactive Materials in Recycled Metals." At that time, 35 accidental meltings of radioactive sources in metal mills were reported, including 22 in the U.S., along with 293 other events in the U.S. where radioactive material was found in metals for recycl…
The degradation mechanism of hydrogen storage alloy in nickel‐metal hydride (Ni‐MH) sealed batteries and effects of corrosion on cell performance during cycling are investigated. A general equation for the corrosion of AB 5 alloy is derived from analyses of corrosion products in cycled electrodes and measurements of n…
The cholesteric polymer films described here, i.e., the “locked in” chiral nematic phase of polymer liquid crystals, have several advantages as materials for optical applications. The Figure shows schematically a cholesteric network based on a chiral isocyanate terpolymer in styrene in which the cholesteric liquid-cry…
Certain applications of magnetic materials require the knowledge of the magnetocaloric effects, i.e., the adiabatic change of temperature or the isothermal change of the entropy upon application or removal of magnetic field. While the isothermal magnetic entropy change can be calculated from magnetic data only, the ca…
Abstract Two‐proton exchange along the two hydrogen bonds mediates the tautomerization in benzoic acid (BA) dimers. Optical spectroscopy and quasi‐elastic neutron scattering (QENS) have been employed to characterize the proton dynamics in doped and pure BA crystals. The proton motion in BA is governed by a multidimens…
Electrochemical characteristics of three types of (LSC) and (LSM) electrodes, (dense, porous, and porous/dense double layer) were measured. The dense layers of LSC and LSM were prepared by a laser ablation method and the porous layers were prepared by a tape‐casting method. Electrochemical measurements (ac impedance a…
Mixtures consisting of polyamine (branched polyethyleneimine (PEI) and polyallylamine (PAA)) and n-alkanoic acid (C n: n = the carbon number of alkanoic acid) were prepared and their thermal and liquid crystalline properties were examined. The occurrence of proton transfer from the carboxylic acid to the amine groups…
In earlier sodium dodecylsulfate-polyacylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) studies it has been found that commonly utilized commercial hen egg-white lysozyme (HEWL) preparations contained 0.2-0.4 mol% covalently bound dimers. Here it is shown, using high-performance capillary electrophoresis (HPCE), that HEWL conta…
Using a two-dimensional self-consistent field calculation, we determine the equilibrium morphology of thin films of ABC triblock copolymers confined between hard, smooth plates. The B segment is chosen to be the central block and all the blocks are incompatible. The chains microphase-segregate into a lamellar phase, w…
Dielectric relaxation has been observed for a wide variety of materials. Specifically for dielectric thin films, a typical Curie - von Schweidler relaxation has been reported by many groups in the literature. Although some possible reasons for these relaxation phenomena have been discussed, a comprehensive understandi…
Benzene oxidation at two equivalence ratios (φ = 0.19 and 1.02) was studied in a well-mixed reactor with a 50 ms mean residence time at 350 torr and 900–1300K. The temperature for 20% benzene conversion is shifted to approximately 90K higher temperatures for the stoichiometric condition as compared to the lean conditi…
The effects of incorporating chloro groups at all ortho positions of a diphenylethyne linker that bridges the zinc and free base (Fb) components of a porphyrin dimer (ZnFbB(Cl(4))) have been investigated in detail via various static and time-resolved spectroscopic methods. The excited-state energy-transfer rate in ZnF…
Silicon-containing amorphous hydrogenated carbon films deposited by a plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition process were studied using both Raman and ellipsometry spectroscopies. Analyses of the experimental data from both these techniques yielded valuable information about the microstructure of the films. The sil…
The microwave properties of ferroelectric thin films are being investigated. Interdigitated capacitors fabricated on ferroelectric thin films of Sr0.5Ba0.5TiO3 have been characterized at room temperature from 50 MHz to 20 GHz. The relative dielectric constant and dielectric loss tangent of the ferroelectric thin film…
The layer-by-layer assembly of polyelectrolytes (poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) and poly(sodium styrenesulfonate) (PSS)) was carried out using poly(chlorotrifluoroethylene) film that had been chemically modified to contain alcohol functionality (PCTFE−OH) as a substrate for the deposition. This neutral surface s…
Energy and helicity-dependent absolute photoabsorption cross sections at the Fe ${L}_{2,3}$ edge, measured in transmission from a supported ultrathin Fe film, are presented. These cross sections and semiempirical total-electron-yield (TEY) equations are used to show that the effects of saturation/self-absorption in th…
The synthesis of highly soluble chloro(phthalocyaninato)indium(III) complexes RxPcInCl (3a: R1 = tert-butyl, R2 = H, x = 4 and 4a: R1 = R2 = n-pentyl, x = 8), and their reactions with R′MgBr [R′ = p-trifluoromethylphenyl- (b), m-trifluoromethylphenyl- (c), p-fluorophenyl- (d), perfluorophenyl- (e)] leading to the stab…
The feasibility of using Ce-doped silicates as an alternative to the P22 blue phosphor (ZnS:Ag) was investigated for low voltage field emission displays (FEDs). Silicates of various composition were evaluated based on their chromaticity, intrinsic efficiency, and brightness saturation behavior. The influence of silica…
Very high electron mobility is reported for the liquid-crystalline oxadiazole compound hexyloxyphenyl hexyloxybiphenyl oxadiazole (HOBP-OXD). The synthesis, phase-transition behavior, and electron transport properties of this compound are detailed. HOBP-OXD is found to exhibit one nematic and two smectic phases. A jum…
The anion radical salt β′-Et2Me2P[Pd(dmit)2]2 is non-metallic at ambient pressure. An application of pressure induces a metallic behavior and the system exhibits a superconducting transition in the pressure region of 6.9–10.4 kbar with Tc = 4.0−1.8 K (onset). Under higher pressure, however, non-metallic behavior appea…
