Four crystal structures are solved from precession electron diffraction data using either the highest-quality experimental data available or voluntarily deteriorated data. The data quality was lowered by changing the intensity of each individual reflection by as much as a factor of 2, even for strong reflections, whil…

Objective molecular dynamics simulations combined with an effective-tensional-strain concept provide a new theory for describing the electromechanical properties of nonideal twisted structures of graphene nanoribbons. It is shown that from the effective-strain perspective, the twist-induced bandgap modulations in grap…

Optical constants of thin metal films are strongly dependent on deposition conditions, growth mode, and thickness. We propose a universal characterization approach that allows reliable determination of thin metal film optical constants as functions of wavelength and thickness. We apply this approach to determination o…

The present study investigates cellulose phosphate from oil palm biomass (OPEFB-CP) as a potential biomaterial. To this effect, oil palm biomass microcrystalline cellulose (OPEFB-MCC) was phosphorylated using the H3PO4/ P2O5/ Et3PO4/ hexanol method. Characterization of OPEFB-CP was performed using Scanning Electron Mi…

Structurally similar, magnetically diverse: The exchange and Zeeman parameters of two dimetallic, six-coordinate cobalt(II) compounds—i.e., with orbitally degenerate metal ions—have been determined by a combination of high-resolution EPR and INS spectroscopies, together with ab intio calculations. It is suggested that…

Abstract A new class of biodegradable copolyesters was synthesized by the catalyst‐free melt condensation of sorbitol with citric acid, tartaric acid, and sebacic acid. The resulting polymers were designated as poly(sorbitol citric sebacate) [p(SCS)] and poly(sorbitol tartaric sebacate) [p(STS)]. The synthesized polym…

The structural and electronic properties of Zn 2 SnO 4 under high pressure have been investigated using the density functional formalism under the nonlocal B3LYP approximation. We have determined its stability against decomposition to ZnO and SnO 2 mixture, as well as toward recently observed orthorhombic phases, simi…

Leakage current magnitude is used as one of the failure criteria in the tracking and erosion test IEC 60587. The 3rdharmonic is also often used to identify periods of arcing activity. This technique is not available for the equivalent dc test. This paper presents the use of a machine vision camera alongside measuremen…

A new principle for the implementation of tunable split ring resonators (SRRs) is presented. The rings forming the SRRs are partly fixed to the substrate (anchor) and partly suspended (up-curved cantilever). Through electrostatic actuation, the suspended parts are deflected down, the distributed capacitance between th…
