The area under the glow curve (no thermal quenching and constant dose) is conserved only in TL–time plots and is not conserved in TL–temperature plots, but for a given heating rate, the glow peak height is same in time as well as in temperature plots and the glow peak height increases with increasing heating rate. How…

We present computer simulations of the Gay-Berne model with a strong terminal dipole. We report the existence of different stable antiferroelectric interdigitated bilayered phases in this model with diverse in-plane organization. The occurrence of these phases depends crucially on the value of the molecular elongation…

Abstract Blends of poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT) with poly(acrylonitrile‐butyl acrylate‐styrene) (ABAS) were characterized by differential scanning calorimetry, infrared, thermogravimetric analysis, and wide‐angle X‐ray diffraction (WAXD) studies. Addition of ABAS polymer to PBT improved the thermal stability of…

Microscopic models of classical degrees of freedom coupled to noninteracting fermions occur in many different contexts. Prominent examples from solid state physics are descriptions of colossal magnetoresistance manganites and diluted magnetic semiconductors, or auxiliary field methods for correlated electron systems.…

We succeeded in making a nanometer scale height standard by using an atomically controlled diamond surface; an equilateral triangular island with bi-atomic layer steps of (111) diamond on an atomically flat surface. This standard of diamond gives us an absolute digit scale, with 0.206 nm steps determined by its crysta…

Abstract Under mild conditions with the aid of ultrasonic, multi‐walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) have been functionalized by mixed acid treatment which was proved by FTIR and XPS. According to SEM, acid treatment on MWNTs decreased the thickness of the membrane. However, no devastating damage and fracture happened on…

Evaporation and sliding behaviors of water droplets were investigated on smooth and rough fluoroalkylsilane coatings. The rough coating possesses nanoscale roughness and chemical heterogeneity on its surface. Evaporation behaviors for these two coatings differed when nanoliter-scale droplets were used, although they w…
