The Kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) method has become an important tool for examination of phenomena like surface diffusion and thin film growth because of its ability to carry out simulations for time scales that are relevant to experiments. But the method generally has limited predictive power because of its reliance on p…
The local density of states of Ag(111) has been probed in detail on disordered terraces of varying width by dI/dV-mapping with a scanning tunneling microscope at low temperatures. Apparent shifts of the bottom of the surface-state band edge from terrace induced confinement are observed. Disordered terraces show intere…
The dynamics of low-dimensional Brownian particles coupled to time-dependent driven anisotropic heavy particles (mesogens) in a uniform bath (solvent) have been described through the use of a variant of the stochastic Langevin equation. The rotational motion of the mesogens is assumed to follow the motion of an extern…
The domain structure of ferroelectric ceramics can be altered by the process of electrical poling. This paper develops quantitative approaches for reflection geometry and spherical harmonic texture analysis, both of which describe these changes at angles parallel to and tilted from the poling axis. The x-ray-diffracti…
A theory of the metal-insulator transition in vanadium dioxide from the high- temperature rutile to the low- temperature monoclinic phase is proposed on the basis of cluster dynamical mean-field theory, in conjunction with the density functional scheme. The interplay of strong electronic Coulomb interactions and struc…
Highly oriented ferroelectric strontium barium niobate (Sr<sub>0.6</sub>Ba<sub>0.4</sub>Nb<sub>2</sub>O<sub>6</sub>) thin films were prepared on P-type Si(100) substrate by the Sol-Gel process. The XRD patterns of the SBN films show that SBN film prepared by using NbCl5, KOH as raw materials performed a highly c-axis…
Ein Traum geht in Erfüllung: Das Nanokomposit-Produkt einer Blockcopolymer-gestützten Sol-Gel-Synthese besteht aus Siliciumdioxidnetzwerken in einer organischen Matrix. Calcinieren der Struktur bei hohen Temperaturen liefert schließlich ein Gerüst-Siliciumdioxidnetzwerk, das mit der Klempners Albtraum genannten Morpho…
Abstract Summary: TiO 2 nanoparticles were introduced into linear low‐density polyethylene (LLDPE)/low‐density polyethylene (LDPE) composite films in the form of master batch where TiO 2 was pre‐dispersed in LDPE by melt compounding. The dispersion behavior of TiO 2 nanoparticles was investigated by field‐emission sca…
A novel approach for the classification of cavity size in terms of their apparent charge versus applied voltage (/spl Delta/Q-V) partial discharge pattern characteristics is described. The method makes use of the fast match-based vector quantization procedure, wherein a given partial discharge pattern is matched again…
Pipe-dream realized: The as-made nanocomposite derived from a block-copolymer-directed sol–gel synthesis consists of silica networks embedded in an organic matrix. Calcination of the structure at high temperatures gives a final skeletal silica network consistent with the morphology called plumber's nightmare (point gr…
Abstract Summary: A series of polyimide/ZnO nanohybrid films with different ZnO content were prepared from a rigid pyromellitic dianhydride‐4,4′‐diaminodiphenyl ether (PMDA‐ODA) polyimide (PI) and a flexible 3,3′,4,4′‐benzophenonetetracarboxylic acid dianhydride‐4,4′‐diaminodiphenyl ether (BTDA‐ODA) PI with ZnO nanopa…
Abstract Summary: Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) track‐etched membranes with a pore diameter of ca. 700 nm, optionally surface‐functionalized to create a “carboxyl” or “amino” surface, were used for heterogeneous graft copolymerizations. Grafted poly(acrylic acid) acted as a pH responsive, “smart” polymer. To eval…
Exact exchange (EXX) Kohn-Sham calculations within an all-electron full-potential method are performed on a range of semiconductors and insulators (Ge, GaAs, CdS, Si, ZnS, C, BN, Ne, Ar, Kr and Xe). We find that the band-gaps are not as close to experiment as those obtained from previous pseudopotential EXX calculatio…
We have investigated the electronic structure of nano-sized iron oxide by scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) and spectroscopy (STS) as well as by photoelectron spectroscopy. Nano particles were produced by thermal treatment of Ferritin molecules containing a self-assembled core of iron oxide. Depending on the therma…
Abstract Carbon nanotubes (CNT) belong to the most promising new materials which can in the near future revolutionize the conventional electronics. When sandwiched between ferromagnetic electrodes, the CNT behaves like a spacer in conventional spin‐valves, leading quite often to a considerable giant magneto‐resistance…
We present a procedure for determining independently the lattice structure and the vibrational properties of the same individual nano-object. For the example of an individual single-walled carbon nanotube we demonstrate the determination of the structural indices (n,m) of the nanotube by electron diffraction and of th…
In great shape: Star-shaped telechelic oligomers can be coupled with a junction unit to yield amorphous copolyester-urethane networks, which are not only biodegradable but can also be fixed in a new, temporary shape after they have been processed into a permanent shape. The permanent shape can be recovered by heating…
Void coalescence and interaction in dynamic fracture of ductile metals have been investigated using three-dimensional strain-controlled multi-million atom molecular dynamics simulations of copper. The correlated growth of two voids during the coalescence process leading to fracture is investigated, both in terms of it…
China pays great attentions to the development of titanium alloys and their basic theory because of their excellent properties. New titanium alloys and their new basic theories developed in China in recent five years were reviewed, for example, high temperature Ti alloys, burn resistant titanium alloys, high strength…
Interfaces between Mo substrate and free-standing diamond films prepared by DC arc plasma jet operated at gas recycling mode were investigated, including for the first time used and multi-time used substrate. The morphology, phase composition and bonding state of elements in the interface between substrates and diamon…
