A model is developed to explain a hysteresis observed experimentally in nanotube field-effect transistors. The model explains the hysteresis through trapping of electrons in an oxide layer. The Fowler-Nordheim tunneling mechanism is held responsible for the electron injection. The influence of different parameters suc…
This paper presents a Jiles-Atherton hysteresis model identification method based on a partnership of heuristic techniques and fuzzy logic (softcomputing). Two different softcomputing approaches are proposed and analyzed: a partnership between genetic algorithms (GAs) and fuzzy logic (FL) and one between GAs and simul…
Abstract Upon reaction of N ‐substituted diethanolamines H 2 L 2–4 ( 4 , 6 , 7 ) with cesium carbonate and bis(tetraethylammonium) tetrachloromanganate(II) in acetonitrile in the presence of air, the metal‐centered mixed‐valent manganese wheels [NEt 4 ]{Mn II ⊂[Mn II 3 Mn III 3 Cl 6 (L 2–4 ) 6 ]} ( 8 – 10 ) were gener…
Abstract Two oligomeric malonate esteramides and an oligomeric malonate ester were synthesized with the intention to plasticize poly(lactic acid), PLA. The synthesis was performed by reacting diethyl bishydroxymethyl malonate (DBM) with adipoyl dichloride and one of two diamines, that is, triethylene glycol diamine (T…
Ag-Pt nanoparticles with a confirmed core-shell structure could only be formed by the successive reduction method using Ag nanoparticles as the seeds. The core-shell structure could be conveniently inferred from the transferability of the particles from water to toluene. Independent measurements by UV-vis spectroscopy…
The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of sonication as a disinfection method for determining the effectiveness of ultrasound waves on the inactivation of E. coli. Ultrasound waves at a frequency of 42 kHz were used to expose aqueous suspension of E. coli. Ultrasound waves display a strong influence on th…
The crystallization behavior of PBA on highly oriented PE substrate from solution as well as melt was studied by optical microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction. The results show that the PE exhibits very strong nucleation ability toward PBA as reflected by the occurrence of heteroepitaxy a…
The chemical reaction between fluoro-nanodiamond (F-ND) powder, solubilized in o-dichlorobenzene, and a glass surface, functionalized with the silane coupling agent, 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES), was found to proceed under heating at 130 degrees C for 24-40 h and to result in covalent bonding of F-ND particles…
Efficiently luminescing colloidal CdTe quantum dots (QDs) were used for the preparation of monodispersed and mixed size QD solids. Luminescence spectra and decay times of the QD emission were measured as a function of temperature to study energy transfer (ET) processes in the QD solids. In the luminescence decay curve…
Resonant grating filters have been proposed as a promising alternative to multilayer stacks for narrowband free-space filtering. The efficiency of such filters under normal incidence has been demonstrated. Unfortunately, under oblique incidence, the limited angular tolerance of the resonance forbids any filtering appl…
Various technology programs in Europe are concerned, besides developing reliable and rugged, low‐cost, throwaway equipment, with preparing for future reusable propulsion technologies. One of the key roles for realizing reusable engine components is the use of modern and innovative materials. One of the key technologie…
Nanocrystalline γ‐alumina powders of 50‐nm size were milled by high‐energy ball milling. It was found that the pure γ‐alumina phase showed great stability and did not transform to any other phase even after a long milling time. On the other hand, γ‐alumina, which contained a small amount of the α‐alumina phase, showed…
The surfaces of nanoscale gold particles and components are oxide-free under normal ambient conditions. This unusual attribute permits the exploration of microstructures and functionalities that would not be feasible for less noble metals. Here we consider the electrochemical properties of mesoporous gold sponges, pre…
Abstract Biodegradable starch‐polyester polymer composites are useful in many applications ranging from numerous packaging end‐uses to tissue engineering. However the amount of starch that can form composites with polyesters without significant property deterioration is typically less than 25% because of thermodynamic…
All‐oxide continuous fiber‐reinforced ceramic matrix composites are enabling materials for high‐temperature structural applications in oxidizing environments. However, their industrial use requires further improvements in material performance as well as a significant reduction of the processing costs. This article giv…
Abstract To elucidate the role of continuous‐phase fat crystals on emulsion destabilization, water‐in‐canola oil emulsions prepared with 0–2% (w/w) added solid fat (hydrogenated canola stearine or hydrogenated cottonseed stearine) were examined using pulsed NMR droplet‐size analysis, sedimentation, and microscopy. Dro…
Heat conduction is an old yet important problem. Since Fourier introduced the law bearing his name almost 200 years ago, a first-principle derivation of this simple law from statistical mechanics is still lacking. Worse still, the validity of this law in low dimensions, and the necessary and sufficient conditions for…
It has been demonstrated that, in those instances where electromigration-induced mass transport is dominated by interfacial diffusion, the adhesion at the interface where mass transport is primarily taking place is related to the electromigration flux. Furthermore, it is shown that the cohesive energy of the interface…
"Inverse sodium hydride" (AdzH(+)Na-) is an alkalide compound synthesized in recent experiments containing the unusual charge distribution H+ and Na- (inverse charge state). The new class of compounds interests scientists to investigate their especial structures and properties. In this paper, the structures of three a…
CdSe quantum dots (QDs) are semiconducting nanoparticles that fluoresce when stimulated by visible light. This property has been exploited in their use as tracer particles in biomedical applications. In this study, confocal microscopy has been used to determine the distribution of QDs within polystyrene microgel parti…
