Magnetic shape memory materials are expected to have a high potential in practical applications. Several ferromagnetic materials exhibiting the large magnetic-field-induced strain have been found in recent years. The largest field-induced strain is observed in Ni-Mn-Ga system. The most important experimental results o…
Abstract The basic technology for forming crosslinked elastomers by the end linking of low molecular weight hydroxyl‐terminated poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) with tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) was modified to make it suitable for preparing coatings for controlled drug release. The requirements for this application included…
The glass transition of a hard sphere system is investigated within the framework of the density functional theory (DFT). Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are performed to study the dynamical behavior of the system on the one hand and to provide the data to produce the density field for the DFT on the other hand. E…
This paper presents a study on the fatigue life of shape memory alloy actuators undergoing thermally induced martensitic phase transformation under various stress levels. A microstructural study characterizing specific damage patterns is conducted in the current work. A highly stressed state with formation of differen…
Dielectric relaxation measurements have been used to study the crossover in dynamics with temperature and pressure, onset of breakdown of the Debye-Stokes-Einstein law, and the relation between the \ensuremath{\alpha} and the \ensuremath{\beta} relaxations in diethyl phthalate. The measurements made over 10 decades in…
Abstract The thermal stability of vulcanizates of low‐density polyethylene (LDPE), poly(dimethyl siloxane) (PDMS) rubber, and their blends was studied by nonisothermal thermogravimetry. Four ethylene copolymers [ethylene methyl acrylate (EMA), ethylene vinyl acetate, ethylene acrylic acid, and a zinc‐salt‐based ionome…
The temperature-dependent deformation behavior of amorphous thin films of poly(1,4-cyclohexylenedimethylene terephthalate) (PCT), poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET), and their copolymers was examined with variation of temperature and cyclohexylene linkage content by transmission electron microscopy. When subject to un…
Abstract Supertough poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT)‐based blends were obtained by the melt blending of PBT with 0–30 wt % poly(ethylene‐ co ‐glycidyl methacrylate) (EGMA). The reaction between PBT and EGMA was detected by torque measurements. The particle size was almost constant with increasing EGMA content, and t…
A room-temperature wet chemical method of synthesis for sphere- and rod-shaped magnetic “solid solution” type Ni−Pt nanoparticles in cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) micelle is reported. The particles have been found to be moderately monodispersed without adopting any further size-selection procedure. The composi…
The overlap of pi-complementary planar organic frameworks is used to direct the assembly of extended columns of alternating donor and acceptor units. The electron-rich partner, hexaalkoxytriphenylene, is a familiar mesogen, while the electron-accepting complement is mellitic triimide, a new C(3)-symmetric building blo…
Kinetic studies of photochemical reactions induced by UV radiation in solutions of metal phthalocyanines have been carried out to determine the factors which might have influenced the stability of photosensitized phthalocyanines. Complexes of the molecular type Mpc, M'(2)pc, and Lnpc(2) (where M = Li, Mg, Fe, Co, Zn,…
A three-dimensional complex, [Mn(3)(4-aba)(6)](n) (1) (4-Haba = 4-aminobenzoic acid), consisting of manganese(II) chains and 4-aba bridging ligands, has been synthesized and characterized. Magnetic studies show that the compound behaves as a three-dimensional metamagnet built of homometallic ferrimagnetic chains. The…
High-speed rewritable optical disks based on conventional (eutectic) Sb–Te phase-change materials have low archival life stability and high media noise. We propose Te-free, Sb-based phase-change materials for recording at linear velocities over 28 m/s. These materials combine good optical contrast, rapid crystallizati…
We present an absorption study of the neutral and positively charged exciton (trion) under the influence of a femtosecond, circularly polarized, resonant pump pulse. Three populations are involved: free holes, excitons, and trions, all exhibiting transient spin polarization. In particular, a polarization of the hole g…
The preparation of a novel carbon monolithic column for high performance liquid chromatography is described. A phenolic resin rod with embedded 10-microm silica beads was prepared by acid-catalyzed polymerization of a resorcinol/iron(III) complex and formaldehyde. This rod was carbonized and graphitized under inert at…
First principles calculations based on density functional theory, with generalised gradient corrections and ultrasoft pseudopotentials, have been used to simulate solid and liquid aluminium in direct coexistence at zero pressure. Simulations have been carried out on systems containing up to 1000 atoms for 15 ps. The p…
We develop the route to fabricate mixed brushlike layers on polyamide substrates (PA-6, PA-6I, PA-66) by the “grafting from” approach. The PA substrates were functionalized by NH 3 plasma. The azo initiator of radical polymerization was covalently bound to the functionalized PA surface. A two-step grafting procedure w…
We calculate circularly polarized luminescence emitted parallel (vertical emission) and perpendicular (edge emission) to the growth direction from a quantum well in a spin light-emitting diode (spin-LED) when either the holes or electrons are spin polarized. It is essential to account for the orbital coherence of the…
We study theoretically the influence of the underlying domain microstructure on the electromechanical properties of ferroelectrics. Our calculations are based on a continuum approach that incorporates the long-range elastic and electrostatic interactions. The theory is used to simulate the piezoelectric properties of…
We present results on the direct spatial mapping of the wave-function of a hole bound to a Mn acceptor in GaAs. To investigate individual Mn dopants at the atomic scale in both ionized and neutral configurations, we used a room temperature cross-sectional scanning tunneling microscope (X-STM). We found that in the neu…
