Strain effects have a significant role in mediating classic ferroelectric behavior such as polarization switching and domain wall dynamics. These effects are of critical relevance if the ferroelectric order parameter is coupled to strain and is therefore, also ferroelastic. Here, switching spectroscopy piezoresponse f…
The impacts of glycosylation on biomineralization protein function are largely unknown. This is certainly true for the mollusk shell, where glycosylated intracrystalline proteins such as AP24 (Haliotis rufescens) exist but their functions and the role of glycosylation remain elusive. To assess the effect of glycosylat…
Carbon‐bonded alumina with 33 wt% residual carbon was tested in compression at room temperature and at temperatures between 700°C and 1500°C in quasi‐static tests, creep tests, and stress relaxation tests. Therefore, a new high‐temperature test set up with inert gas chamber and inductive heating was used. The tests we…
Exposure of tungsten to low energy (<100 eV) helium plasmas at temperatures between 900–1900 K in both laboratory experiments and tokamaks has been shown to cause severe nanoscale modification of the near surface resulting in the growth of tungsten tendrils. Tendril formation can lead to non-sputtered erosion and dust…
A computational estimate of thermoelectric behavior of amorphous ZnO is reported in this paper. Thermal conductivity of a material is usually lower in an amorphous structure than in a crystalline structure. Most thermoelectrics are based on crystalline semiconductors with the electronic structure optimized to produce…
A new fused core-modified 32π heptaphyrin with Möbius aromatic character is reported. The (1)H NMR data indicated a weak Möbius aromaticity at 298 K; however, at 213-183 K, the molecule predominates [4n]π Möbius conformation with strong diatropic ring current, which was further confirmed by X-ray analysis. The protona…
Eriocalyxin B, a natural ent-kaurene diterpene compound, has been shown to prevent carcinogenesis and tumor development. However, little is known regarding the mechanism underlying the antitumor activity of Eriocalyxin B in human colon cancer. The aim of the present study was to examine the role of Eriocalyxin B in SW…
Thin tungsten oxide layers with thicknesses up to 250 nm have been formed on W surfaces by thermal oxidation following a parabolic growth rate. The reflectance of the layers in the IR range 2.5–16 μ m has been measured showing a decrease with the layer thickness especially at low wavelengths. Raman microscopy and x-ra…
Here we present a time-resolved in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy investigation of the local chemical environment and the electronic structure of the active metal (Ru) and the promoter (Cs) present in catalysts supported over high-surface-area graphite. These catalysts were submitted to a reduction treatment under…
Substitutional chemical doping is one way of introducing an electronic bandgap in otherwise semimetallic graphene. A small change in dopant arrangement can convert graphene from a semiconducting to a semimetallic state. Based on ab initio Density Functional Theory calculations, we discuss the electron structure of BN-…
In this study, graphene nanosheets (GNSs) were adopted as an adsorbent to investigate their characterizations and performance for adsorbing benzene and toluene in aqueous solutions. In order to determine the best fit model for each considered system, nonlinear regressions were used. Experimental data of adsorption wer…
We demonstrate a new approach to control the pretilt angle of liquid crystals (LCs) with photocurable prepolymer in a cell fabricated with vertically aligned substrates. During UV exposure, prepolymer approaches and is polymerized on the substrate surfaces because of the vertical phase separation induced by difference…
Liquid crystal (LC) materials are currently the dominant electronic materials in display technology because of the ease of control of molecular orientation using an electric field. However, this technology requires the fabrication of two polarizers to create operational displays, reducing light transmission efficiency…
In this work, a series of palladium supported on the La0.8Sr0.2MnO3.15 perovskite catalysts (Pd/LSM-x) with different Pd loading were prepared by microwave irradiation processing plus incipient wetness impregnation method and characterized by XRD, TEM, H2-TPR and XPS. These catalysts were evaluated on the lean CH4 com…
A novel piezoelectric device for measuring mechanical spectroscopy as a function of temperature and strain has been developed. The new equipment involves five oscillating elements, a crystal driver, two spacer bars, the sample and the crystal gauge. The spacer bars and the sample do not match in frequency. The device…

The purpose of this investigation is to employ manganese oxide as the electrode material along with a grahite electrode due t…
The Brillouin light scattering technique was used to determine experimentally the three independent elastic constants of cubic aluminum oxynitride at the ambient condition. They are , and . Its bulk modulus is 221.2 GPa . The magnitude of Zener anisotropic ratio is 2.1 similar to other spinels. The anisotropic nature…
A high-throughput computational method is used to screen new plasticizers for nylon polyamides. Condensed-phase molecular dynamic simulations are used to describe the interaction of the plasticizer and the polymer. A radial distribution function is utilized to quantify the degree of hydrogen bonding between plasticize…
The mechanical properties of carbon nanotube (CNT) fiber composites are steadily approaching those of traditional carbon fiber composites. This work is focused on establishing a plausible upper bound on these properties by modeling the elastic deformations, yield, and fracture of idealized CNT composites using reactiv…
