Lattice yield to tension within practical time and temperatures is determined by the probability of defect formation. Its rate in nanotubes depends in turn on the transition state and activation barrier for the Stone–Wales bond rotations. Systematic ab initio computations of the barriers for the tubes of various symme…
The $({\mathrm{Li}}_{x}{\mathrm{Na}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}){\mathrm{NbO}}_{3}$ perovskite solid solutions are investigated using synchrotron x-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy in order to clarify the structural changes in the concentration range $0<~x<~0.145$ at room temperature. The orthorhombic antiferroele…
The mechanical relaxation of metallic Zr46.75Ti8.25Cu7.5Ni10Be27.5 supercooled liquid has been measured by dynamic mechanical analysis. The relaxation behaviors are found to fit well the Kohlrausch–Williams–Watts equation in time domain as well as the Havriliak–Negami equation in frequency domain. Characteristic quant…
Structural phase transformation from multiwalled carbon nanotubes to nanocrystalline diamond by hydrogen plasma post-treatment was carried out. Ultrahigh equivalent diamond nucleation density above 1011 nuclei/cm2 was easily obtained. The diamond formation and growth mechanism was proposed to be the consequence of the…
Abstract A new method for the synthesis of exfoliated graphite and polyaniline (PANI)/graphite nanocomposites was developed. Exfoliated graphite nanosheets were prepared through the microwave irradiation and sonication of synthesized expandable graphite. The nanocomposites were fabricated via the in situ polymerizatio…
Heterogeneous deacetylation of alpha- and beta-chitins from shrimp shells and squid pens were comparatively studied. Each deacetylated sample, recovered after neutralization, was fractionated according to a water-soluble and insoluble fraction (pH 8.5). The systematic study of DAs, crystallinity changes, and distribut…
The Schottky barrier height of Pt contacts on n-type (n∼1016 cm−3) thin film ZnO deposited by pulsed laser deposition was obtained from current–voltage measurements as a function of temperature. The resulting values ranged from 0.61±0.04 eV at 25 °C to 0.46±0.06 eV at 100 °C with saturation current densities of 1.5×10…
A charge patching method and an idealized surface passivation are used to calculate the single electronic states of IV-IV, III-V, II-VI semiconductor quantum dots up to a thousand atoms. This approach scales linearly and has a 1000-fold speed-up compared to direct first-principles methods with a cost of eigenenergy er…
Solid-state (1)H, (17)O MAS NMR, (1)H-(93)Nb TRAPDOR NMR, and (1)H double quantum 2D MAS NMR experiments were used to characterize the oxygen, water, and hydroxyl environments in the monoprotonated hexaniobate material, Na(7)[HNb(6)O(19)].15H(2)O. These solid-state NMR experiments demonstrate that the proton is locate…
The superelastic effect under constant magnetic fields exhibited by the Ni-Mn-Ga ferromagnetic thermoelastic martensites with single-variant and polyvariant microstructure is studied experimentally and theoretically. The formerly proposed statistical model of the magnetostrain effect in the ferromagnetic martensite is…
Giant magnetostrictive actuators are designed and fabricated with home-made TbDyFe magnetostrictive rods. The corresponding static and dynamic characteristics are tested. The total output displacement can be obtained up to 100 µm and the output force up to 1500 N. The dynamic responses of input and output are accordan…
We report a trilayer hybrid polymer-quantum-dot light-emitting diode fabricated by sandwiching a CdSe-ZnS core–shell quantum-dot (QD) layer, a few monolayers thick, between films of polyvinylcarbazole (PVK) and an oxadiazole derivative (butyl-PBD). All the layers have been deposited by a controlled spin-coating techni…
The Nanolaminate ${\mathrm{Ti}}_{3}{\mathrm{SiC}}_{2}$ ceramic exhibited unique mechanical properties, such as high modulus, low anisotropic hardness to modulus ratio and microscale ductility etc. The planar close-packed Si atoms were expected to play a dominant role in deducing these properties. By performing first-p…
We report on efficient resonant energy transfer in bilayers of water-soluble CdTe quantum dots. The bilayers of CdTe nanocrystals of two different sizes capped by short-chain thiols were formed by layer-by-layer assembly. Temporally and spectrally resolved fluorescence spectroscopy reveals spectral diffusion of the fl…
A generalized so called magnetically controlled ballistic rain-like deposition (MBD) model of granular piles has been numerically investigated in 2D. The grains are taken to be elongated disks whence characterized by a two-state scalar degree of freedom, called ''nip'', their interaction being described through a Hami…
The DC transport properties of and the radio-frequency (RF) wave absorption (at 2.525 MHz) in a sample of La$_{0.67}$Sr$_{0.33}$MnO$_{3}$ prepared by floating-zone method are measured. The Curie temperature, $T_{c}$, of the sample is about 374 K. Giant temperature and magnetic-field variations in RF absorption are fou…
Photoluminescence and magnetotransport measurements have been performed to assess the quality of modulation doped GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructures. The temporal evolution of the low-temperature electron mobility of samples prepared in a molecular beam epitaxy chamber containing manganese as a source material was studied.…
Neutral atoms can be trapped and manipulated with surface mounted microscopic current carrying and charged structures. We present a lithographic fabrication process for such atom chips based on evaporated metal films. The size limit of this process is below 1$μ$m. At room temperature, thin wires can carry more than 10…
We report the discovery of superconductivity in boron-doped diamond synthesized at high pressure (8-9 GPa) and temperature (2,500-2,800 K). Electrical resistivity, magnetic susceptibility, specific heat, and field-dependent resistance measurements show that boron-doped diamond is a bulk, type-II superconductor below t…
The dynamics of many atomic systems is controlled by activated events taking place on a time scale which is long compared to that associated with thermal vibrations. This often places problems of interest outside the range of standard simulation methods such as molecular dynamics. We present here an algorithm, the dyn…
