We report results obtained from polarization measurements on PbMg1/3Nb2/3O3 single crystal under static electric field, in both field cooling and field switching after zero field cooling processes. In the field cooling process, two kinds of regime are observed depending on the field strength, i.e., above and below thr…

A vacuum swing adsorption process using 4A zeolite pellets with five steps was designed to split an equimolar mixture of propylene/propane. The equimolar feed of C 3 is diluted to 50% with nitrogen at 5 bar and 423 K, and the product is obtained when the total pressure is lowered to 0.1 bar. After 15 cycles, cyclic st…

Ac linear and nonlinear susceptibilities, χ0 and χ2, of ferrimagnetic FeCr2S4 single crystals were measured in the temperature range from 4.2 to 300 K for different driving ac and applied dc magnetic fields in the frequency range of 10−1–103 Hz. For high driving ac fields the real part of χ0 exhibits a cusp at around…

Abstract The electrical and mechanical behaviors of carbon black‐filled. Poly(vinyl acetate) latex‐based polymer composites were examined. These composites were found to exhibit percolation thresholds in electrical conductivity near 2 vol% carbon black due to their segregated microstructures. Storage modulus and ultim…

High resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy (HREELS), low-energy electron diffraction (LEED), and thermal desorption spectroscopy (TDS) were used to study lateral interactions in the adsorbate layer of the CO/Rh(111) system. The vibrational spectra show that CO adsorbs exclusively on top at low coverage. At abou…

A sensor of thick film NiO doped with alkali ions was fabricated and coated with Pt as the catalyst on half of its surface. When this sensor was exposed to air mixed with hydrogen gas, the catalytic reaction heated up the Pt-coated surface, and then thermoelectric voltage appeared across the hot and cold region of the…

Electron diffraction via the transmission electron microscope is a powerful method for characterizing the structure of materials, including perfect crystals and defect structures. The advantages of electron diffraction over other methods, e.g., x-ray or neutron, arise from the extremely short wavelength (≈2 pm), the s…
