The Boltzmann transport equation can be solved to give analytical solutions to the resistivity, Hall, Seebeck, and Nernst coefficients. These solutions may be solved simultaneously to give the density-of-states effective mass (md*), the Fermi energy relative to either the conduction or valence band, and a scattering p…
Severe plastic deformation provides a processing tool for introducing fine grain sizes into polycrystalline materials. This paper describes the principles of equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) in which a material is pressed through a die where two channels form an L shaped configuration. The process of ECAP imposes…
An inner-coordinated Pd complex and inner- and outer-N coordinated, double-decker Pd complexes of N-confused tetratolylporphyrin have been synthesized, and their structures were elucidated by X-ray single-crystal analyses.
Multiwavelength anomalous diffraction (MAD) phasing has become a routinely used tool for determining new macromolecular structures. The MAD method has stringent data-collection requirements, typically necessitating radiation-resistant crystals and access to a tunable synchrotron beamline. In cases where synchrotron ti…
A precursor for magnesium aluminum spinel powder, composed of crystalline ammonium dawsonite hydrate (NH 4 Al(OH) 2 CO 3 ·H 2 O) and hydrotalcite (Mg 6 Al 2 (CO 3 )(OH) 16 ·4H 2 O) phases, was synthesized via precipitation, using ammonium bicarbonate as the precipitant. The precursor was characterized by differential…
Magnetic properties of Ni nanowires electrodeposited into self-assembled porous alumina arrays have been investigated. By anodizing aluminum in sulfuric acid and immersing the as-anodized template into phosphoric acid for different lengths of time, we are able to vary the diameters of the subsequently deposited nanowi…
Equal channel angular extrusion has been used to deform an Al–3 wt-%Mg alloy to an effective strain of 10, resulting in a 0.2 µm grain size. In the as deformed condition the yield strength was increased to ∼500 MPa. During annealing the grain structure coarsened uniformly and the yield stress was found to follow the H…
We use molecular dynamics computer simulations to investigate the relaxation dynamics of a binary Lennard-Jones liquid confined in a narrow pore. We find that this dynamics is strongly influenced by the confinement in that time correlation functions are much more stretched than in the bulk. By investigating the motion…
Phase transitions in semiwet derived (Pb1−xBax)ZrO3 ceramics for the composition range 0⩽x⩽0.30 have been investigated by dielectric measurements at various frequencies during heating and cooling cycles. The paraelectric (PE) to ferroelectric (FE) to antiferroelectric (AFE) sequence of phase transitions is observed fo…
Hydrogenases, oxygen-sensitive enzymes that can make hydrogen gas, are key to the function of hydrogen-producing organelles (hydrogenosomes), which occur in anaerobic protozoa scattered throughout the eukaryotic tree. Hydrogenases also play a central role in the hydrogen and syntrophic hypotheses for eukaryogenesis. H…
Semicrystalline polymers exhibit metastable interphases, which must simultaneously accommodate molecular connectivity and disorder across the interlamellar phase. Off-lattice molecular simulations, previously used to study the {001} interphase in freely rotating chains, are used here to study the interlamellar phases…
Surface relief gratings are one of the most promising applications for azobenzene-containing polymers (azo-polymers). Systems investigated to date have contained single-component azo-polymers. The introduction of a liquid-crystal molecule to the system, presented here, gives rise to a striking enhancement of surface r…
The inverted porphyrins 2-aza-5,10,15,20-tetraphenyl-21-carbaporphyrin (CTPPH2) and its methylated derivatives 2-aza-2-methyl-5,10,15,20-tetraphenyl-21-carbaporphyrin (2-NCH3CTPPH) and 2-aza-2-methyl-5,10,15,20-tetraphenyl-21-methyl-21-carbaporphyrin (2-NCH3-21-CH3CTPPH) stabilize the rare organocopper(II) complexes (…
In strong magnetic fields up to 20 T quasistatic measurements of the magnetic-field-induced electric polarization have been performed in ${\mathrm{LiNiPO}}_{4}$ single crystals between 4.2 and $\ensuremath{\sim}25$ K. The magnetoelectric (ME) effect has been studied in detail near the N\'eel temperature. The temperatu…
The influence of plasma oxidation and other surface pretreatments on the electronic structure of indium–tin–oxide (ITO) thin films has been studied by high resolution x-ray photoemission spectroscopy. Plasma oxidation compensates n-type doping in the near surface region and leads to a reduction in the energy of plasmo…
The carbon monoxide (CO) adsorption activity of small gold-cluster anions (Au N -, N = 4−19) has been measured by pulsed helium flow-reactor methods at room temperature. In contrast to other metals, the reaction-product distributions, Au N (CO) M = ( N, M ), measured over a range of CO partial pressure, reveal highly…
The Mg/Al layered double hydroxide−deoxycholate intercalation compounds were successfully synthesized by a novel hydrothermal reaction between brucite, gibbsite, and deoxycholic acid. The layered double hydroxide−deoxycholate intercalation compounds showed some important characteristics such as curved platy morphology…
We characterize the selective deposition of liquid microstructures on chemically heterogeneous surfaces by means of dip coating processes. The maximum deposited film thickness depends critically on the speed of withdrawal as well as the pattern size, geometry, and angular orientation. For vertically oriented hydrophil…
ABSTRACT Two‐phase polymer blends of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and corn or wheat starches at various ratios were prepared by using a laboratory‐scale twin‐screw extruder and compression molding. The blends were characterized for thermal transitions, mechanical properties, and water absorption. Starch and PLA were immisc…
Codeposition of hydrocarbons is a severe problem during focused electron beam writing of pure metal nanostructures. When using organometallic precursors, a low metal content carbonaceous matrix embedding and separating numerous nanosized metal clusters is formed. In this work, we present a new and easy approach to obt…
