Dependence of the thermal conductivity on the length of two armchair single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) is studied by the nonequilibrium molecular dynamics (MD) method with Brenner II potential. The thermal conductivities are calculated for (5, 5) and (7, 7) SWNTs with lengths ranging from 22 to 155 nm. The result…
A single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis of the mixed salt of hydroxypyridonate Pu(IV) complexes is presented; [Pu(1,2-HOPO) 3 (H 2 O) 2 ·ClO 4 ] [Pu(1,2-HOPO) 4 ] crystallizes in P 2 1 with the asymmetric unit containing two distinct eight-coordinate Pu(IV) complexes, one tris(bidentate) and the other tetrakis(bid…
X -band (∼9.5GHz) electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) studies of Fe3+ ions in Sn1−xFexO2 powders with 0.00⩽x⩽0.05 at various temperatures (5–300K) are reported. These samples are interesting to investigate as Fe doping (⩽5%) produces ferromagnetism in SnO2 [A. Punnooose et al., Phys. Rev. B 72, 054402 (2005)], makin…
An all-optical pump-probe method was used to study magnetization precession in an epitaxial Co2MnAl Heusler alloy thin film. The frequency and amplitude of precession showed a clear fourfold variation as the orientation of the static field was applied in different directions within the plane of the film, revealing tha…
The proposed REACH regulation within the European Union (EU) aims to minimise the number of laboratory animals used for human hazard and risk assessment while ensuring adequate protection of human health and the environment. One way to achieve this goal is to develop non-testing methods, such as (quantitative) structu…
Abstract Isotactic polypropylene (iPP) microporous membranes were prepared via the thermally induced phase separation (TIPS) process with the diluents being dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and soybean oil mixture. By changing the weight ratio of DBP to soybean oil systematically, it was determined experimentally that the clou…
The article presents the deformation behaviour of a Mg-Al-Ca alloy (AX41) deformed at elevated temperatures. Stress relaxation tests were used to determine internal and effective components of the applied stress. Apparent activation volume decreases with the increasing effective stress. The values of the activation vo…
CdTe/CdSe core−shell quantum dots were synthesized using Et2Zn as a reducing agent of selenium. During the shell formation process, the sphere-like CdTe core transforms to a rectangular-like shape. The zinc blende structured core-shell quantum dots show better photostability than the cores, which should enable them to…
Abstract Two new C‐21 steroidal glycosides, mucronatosides M(1) and N(2), were isolated from the stems of Stephanotis mucronata, together with one known compound stephanoside M(3). On the basis of chemical evidence and extensive spectroscopic methods, including one‐dimensional and two‐dimensional NMR, the structures o…
Abstract In this communication, we present a simple, completely reversible and well performing optical microsensor for the quantitative determination in liquid hydro‐alcoholic binary mixtures, based on the simple and low cost porous silicon (PSi) nanotechnology. In our sensor device, the transducer element is a PSi op…
Interaction of metamict zircon with solutions of various composition (H 2 O, 1 m NaCl + 0.5 m HCl, 1 m NaCl, 1 m NaHCO 3 , 0.1 m Na 2 CO 3 , 1 m Na 2 CO 3 , 2 m Na 2 CO 3 , and 1 m NaOH) was examined at temperatures of 25–800°C, pressures of 1 and 5 kbar, and exposure times of 3, 7, and 14 days. The choice of fluid co…
Semiconductor metamaterials consisting of n+-GaInAs/i-AlInAs heterostructures that support negative index modes in the mid-infrared are reported. We demonstrate negative refraction in these metamaterials for wavelengths from 9-15 μm over a wide range of incidence angles.
The reversal time of the magnetization of a single-domain ferromagnetic particle with a cubic anisotropy in the presence of a uniform magnetic field is evaluated using the Kramers escape rate theory for intermediate-to-high damping as extended by Brown [W. F. Brown, Jr., IEEE Trans. Magn. 15, 1196 (1979)] to the analo…
Abstract The Microscopy and Imaging Center at Texas A&M University is a multi-user facility involved with preparation and analysis of many different biological and materials sciences projects. Vapor stabilization and coating is an important part of our specimen preparation methodology for difficult biological and…
A new diatom taxon, Fragilaria nevadensis Linares-Cuesta &Sanchez-Castillo, was described based on light- and electron-microscope examination. It was isolated from a high-mountain lake in the Sierra Nevada (Granada, Spain), the highest mountain range in the Iberian Peninsula. The new taxon was characterised by its val…
Abstract Composite structures of p‐type meso‐porous silicon (PS) and polyaniline (PAN) have been fabricated by electrochemical polymerization process. The composite structure provides a unique way to control the conduction either through the porous silicon matrix or via the polyaniline, by changing the polarity of the…
The polarization and strain responses in ferroelectric materials are non-linear and hysteretic. A number of mathematical and phenomenological approaches have been used to describe and quantify this behavior. In order to fully describe this response dielectric and piezoelectric coefficients must include real and imagin…
Abstract Sol‐gel thin films and microcrystalline powders of SiO 2 doped with Ag and Cu were obtained under environmental conditions of pressure and temperature. The precursor material was a mixture of water, tetraethyl‐orthosilicate, ethanol and aqueous solutions of Ag and Cu salts, the components were taken in ratios…
We study the mixing of the fully symmetric modes in single-walled carbon nanotubes with ab initio calculations. With a variational model, we confirm the results from finite-difference calculations. We further analyze the effect of the mixing on the calculation of phonon frequencies and electron-phonon coupling matrix…
