We present a simple set of data structures, and a collection of methods for constructing and updating the structures, designed to support the use of cohesive elements in simulations of fracture and fragmentation. Initially all interior faces in the triangulation are perfectly coherent, i.e., conforming in the usual fi…

In this work, silver film over silica nanosphere (AgFON) surfaces are shown to be thermally stable, SERS-active substrates that are suitable for use in ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) conditions. The metal FON surface is a materials general, cost-effective, and highly SERS-active surface. The SERS activity and thermal stabilit…

We propose a mechanism of long-range coherent coupling between nuclear spins to be used as qubits in solid-state semiconductor-heterojunction quantum information processing devices. The coupling is via localized donor electrons which in turn interact with the two-dimensional electron gas. An effective two-spin interac…

The interactions of hydrogen with ceria have been the subject of several experimental studies, but whether hydrogen atoms enter the bulk or are merely chemisorbed on the surfaces is disputed. We combine first-principles calculations with thermodynamic arguments and conclude that the uptake of small amounts of hydrogen…

In this study, we have explored the first use of the siliceous MCM-41 molecular sieve as an additive to enhance the gas permeability characteristics of a high-performance polysulfone. For all gases tested (N 2, O 2, CO 2, CH 4 ), the permeability increased in proportion to the weight percent of MCM-41 present in the f…

Abstract Homopolymers of itaconic acid (PIA) and its copolymers with acrylamide (P(IA‐AAm) were synthesized using ceric ammonium nitrate (NH 4 ) 2 Ce(NO 3 ) 6 in combination with nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) as redox initiator, and potassium persulphate at pH 1. The chain structures of the resulting products have been…

A pressure cell with an anvil made of sapphire and the other made of tungsten carbide, was constructed to process thin film samples using a high power Nd:YAG pulsed laser, in a regime of ultrafast quenching rate and confined geometry. The sapphire anvil worked as the optical window to the laser beam and also as a good…

We investigated the influence of grinding as a pretreatment prior to the emitter film formation of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) on the field emission and the geometric properties of SWNTs. Field emission from emitter films composed of ground SWNTs was found to be dramatically enhanced as well as to be homoge…

Abstract The chemical modification of native wheat straw hemicelluloses with succinic anhydride using N,N ‐dimethylformamide/lithium chloride system as solvent and pyridine and/or 4‐dimethyaminopyridine as catalyst has been examined. In particular, the progress of the succinoylation reaction is studied as a function o…

Ultrasonic attenuation due to phonon-phonon interaction and thermoelastic relaxation are studied in Lanthanum Monochalcogenides in <110> direction at different higher temperatures. For evaluation of ultrasonic absorption coefficients the second and third order elastic constants (SOEC) and (TOEC) are also calculated. S…

Photoluminescence and Raman scattering experiments were performed on Si/SiO2 superlattices grown by radio frequency magnetron sputtering on Si, quartz and glass substrates. Increasing the Si layer thickness in the Si/SiO2 superlattice gave rise to an increased photoluminescence signal and a Raman signature for nanocry…
