We examine the temperature dependence of the relaxation times of the molecules N@C60 and N@C70 (which comprise atomic nitrogen trapped within a carbon cage) in liquid CS2 solution. The results are inconsistent with the fluctuating zero field splitting (ZFS) mechanism, which is commonly invoked to explain electron spin…
The dependence of macroscopic detonation properties of a two-dimensional diatomic (AB) molecular system on the fundamental properties of the molecule were investigated. This includes examining the detonation velocity, reaction zone thickness, and critical width as a function of the exothermicity of the gas-phase react…
Coexisting ferromagnetic (FM) and antiferromagnetic (AFM) phases over a range of temperature (T) and magnetic field (H), have been reported in many materials. The 1st order FM-AFM transition is completed over a broad T (or H) range; this is ascribed to a landscape of free-energy density in systems with frozen disorder…
The build up of polyelectrolyte multilayers (PEMs) was observed by a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) based thin film resistor. Differently charged polyelectrolytes adsorbing to the sensor surface result in defined potential shifts, which decrease with the number of layers deposited. We model the response of the device assu…
We report numerical studies of the cluster development of two-phase flow in a steady-state environment of porous media. This is done by including biperiodic boundary conditions in a two-dimensional flow simulator. Initial transients of wetting and non-wetting phases that evolve before steady-state has occurred, underg…
Comparison of periodic B dopants with a random alloy of substitional boron in diamond is carried out using several supercells and the coherent potential approximation (CPA) for the random alloy case. The main peak in the B local density of states is shifted to lower binding energy compared to the corresponding C peak…
We study the microscopic structure and the stationary propagation velocity of (1+1)-dimensional solid-on-solid interfaces in an Ising lattice-gas model, which are driven far from equilibrium by an applied force, such as a magnetic field or a difference in (electro)chemical potential. We use an analytic nonlinear-respo…
Although the need for a functional arterial replacement is clear, the lower blood flow velocities of small-diameter arteries like the coronary artery have led to the failure of synthetic materials that are successful for large-diameter grafts. Although autologous vessels remain the standard for small diameter grafts,…
A wide range of techniques for the successful synthesis of nanosized materials have been developed recently. These procedures are sufficient for normal scientific investigation; however, for these materials to be incorporated into any practical application, the process for making them must be scalable to a larger volu…
We report the selective chemical attachment of infrared emitting PbSe nanocrystal quantum dots onto micron-scale glass photonic beads. Upon optical excitation, photoluminescence from the shell of nanocrystals is seen to couple into the high-Q 'whispering gallery' modes of the bead via the evanescent optical field, res…
Energy conversion today is subject to high thermodynamic losses. About 50% to 90% of the exergy of primary fuels is lost during conversion into power or heat. The fast increasing world energy demand makes a further increase of conversion efficiencies inevitable. The substantial thermodynamic losses (exergy losses of 2…
The increased solubility and uniform dispersal of branched azobenzene chromophores over their monomeric analogues have been shown to improve the electrooptic performance of high glass transition temperature ( T g ) blended polymers. We report here the application of these branched chromophores as guest nonlinear optic…
The influence of intrinsic chain stiffness on surface forces in solutions containing semiflexible polymers is investigated with density functional theory. The solvent is included explicitly, but comparisons are also made with exact results obtained with ideal chains, in the absence of solvent particles. We find that a…
The giant polyelectrolyte glycosaminoglycan hyaluronan (1-10 MDa) is a major component of the pericellular coat on a variety of cells, where it is an important modulator and mediator of early cell adhesion events. This pericellular layer can reach 5 mum thickness on cells that produce cartilage (chondrocytes), and up…
Abstract A diamond light emitting diode (LED) activated with Xe‐related optical centres is reported. The device was made on a high quality single crystal CVD diamond substrate using B + and Li + ion implantation, subsequent implantation by Xe + ions and vacuum annealing to 1400 °C. A diode behaviour with the rectifica…
Palladium nanoparticles formed by the reduction of palladium(II) chloride with methanol or 2-propanol are stabilized by entrapment in solid heavily fluorinated compounds, as suggested by powder X-ray diffraction. Some of the stabilizers are fluorohydrocarbons without a functional group. Calculations suggest that minor…
Abstract With the action of catalyst and cosolvent, a series of hydroxyl‐terminated polydimethylsiloxane (HPMS) based polyurethane (PU) micro‐emulsion were gotten by surfactant‐free copolymerization. They were successfully prepared by reacting isophorone isocyanate, poly(tetramethylene glycol), and HPMS with N ‐methyl…
Effects of multiple and dependent or correlated elastic scattering of phonons due to nanoparticles on thermal transport in random nano-particulate media (random phononic crystals) are investigated in this paper under various approximations. Multiple scattering means that the scattered wave from one particle is inciden…
By means of quasielastic neutron scattering, we have investigated the dynamics of two polymers, head-to-head poly(propylene) (HHPP) and poly(ethylene−propylene) (PEP), through the incoherent scattering function of hydrogens, i.e., the H self-correlation function. Backscattering techniques have allowed us to cover meso…
Application of an electric field to microspheres, dispersed in a nematic liquid crystal host material, causes particle translation along the direction of the average long molecular liquid crystal axis, i.e., the director. We have determined the stability regime of linear particle displacement in the parameter space of…
