We relate the static conductivity of carbon nanotubes to the static in-plane conductivity of a graphite sheet and conclude that isolated single-wall nanotubes are excellent conductors. In contrast, multiwall tubes at low doping may possess conductivities substantially below that of the sum of the constituent tubes. Th…
We have studied metallic ${\mathrm{SrVO}}_{3}$ and ${\mathrm{CaVO}}_{3}$ by inverse photoemission and high-resolution photoemission. In going from Sr to Ca, considerable spectral weight is transferred from the coherent band to the upper and lower Hubbard bands. Meanwhile, the overall intensity rather than the width of…
The electronic structure of ${\mathrm{PrNiO}}_{3}$ has been studied by photoemission and x-ray-absorption spectroscopy. By analyzing the spectra using configuration-interaction calculations on a ${\mathrm{NiO}}_{6}$ cluster model, it has been found that the charge-transfer energy \ensuremath{\Delta} is \ensuremath{\si…
Statics of 90° domain structures formed in a thin tetragonal film epitaxially grown on a cubic substrate is studied theoretically on the basis of a rigorous solution of the associated elasticity problem. Inhomogeneous internal stresses existing in the strained polydomain epitaxy are calculated by the method of fictiti…
The influence of the electrodes on the dielectric behavior and especially on the leakage behavior of SrTiO3 thin films was investigated by impedance analysis. Based on measurements on thin films with different electrode materials the work function of these materials was found to determine the leakage currents. The mai…
The symmetry and electronic structure of the Mn impurity in ZnS nanocrystals have been studied with electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). Experiments were performed at 9 and 35 GHz on crystals with an average diameter of 35 \AA{}. Changes in the spectra over a period of months indicate a gradual degeneration of the p…
We report the results of transmission electron microscopy on the layered rare-earth tritellurides R${\mathrm{Te}}_{3}$ (R=La,Sm,Gd,Tb,Dy,Ho,Er,Tm). Through electron diffraction we have identified superlattice reflections indicating the presence of incommensurate distortions, consistent with sinusoidal atomic displacem…
dc sputtered indium-tin-oxide films have been excimer laser irradiated at subablation threshold fluences (<510 mJ/cm2). Optical characterization of irradiated products has been performed aiming at resolving the finer structure appearing in the IR–visible absorption spectra, as a function of laser fluence, and a…
X-ray diffraction from simple monocrystalline and epitaxial multilayered surface gratings will be described theoretically by use of a distorted wave Born approximation of second order. The intensity patterns of simple and multilayered gratings have been simulated by this treatment and compared with the kinematical app…
Abstract Waterborne polyurethanes (PUs) were hydrophobically modified using various types of acrylate monomers. PUs having hydroxy ethylacrylate (HEA) terminal groups were first obtained following a prepolymer mixing process. These PU base polymers were then chain extended with acrylate monomers via a radical polymeri…
Abstract Recent work has shown that nylon 6/acrylonitrile–butadiene–styrene (ABS) blends can be made tough by the addition of some polymer additives that are chemically reactive with nylon 6 and physically compatible with the styrene‐acrylonitrile copolymer (SAN) phase of ABS. Imidized acrylic polymers (IA) represent…
Abstract Poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC), PVC/chlorinated polyethylene (CPE), PVC/oxidized polyethylene (OPE), and PVC/CPE/OPE compounds were prepared in a Haake torque rheometer at various temperatures, rotor speeds, and totalized torques (TTQ). The fusion characteristics of these PVC compounds (fusion time, fusion torque…
Abstract Blends of natural rubber (NR) with linear low‐density polyethylene (LLDPE) were prepared by melt blending of the materials in a plasticorder mixer at various temperatures around the melting point of LLDPE and at various mixing rates. The optimum processing conditions were a temperature of about 135°C and a mi…
Abstract Several novel fillers, specifically silica–titania, silica–zirconia, and silica–alumina mixed oxides, have been successfully precipitated into poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) networks using a sol‐gel approach. The resulting filled networks were found to have very good mechanical properties. In comparison with n…
This paper reports a study of the origin and propagation of the space stem when a bi-exponential voltage impulse is applied to a 1.3 m point-plane air gap. The tests are carried out by using impulse shapes ranging from 0.25/2000 to 120/2000 mu s. Among these impulse shapes, the optimum with respect to the observation…
The structural properties of low temperature plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposited SiO2 films using Si2H6 and N 2O have been studied. It is observed that the degree of compaction of as-deposited SiO2 films, upon subsequent annealing, increases up to 4%. The shift of Si-O-Si stretching peak wave number of the as-dep…
The charge balance in the hot filament method of depositing diamond is explored using a novel experimental arrangement. A correlation between ion activity and the growth of diamond is drawn.
Large second-order nonlinear optical response has been observed in silicon carbide thin films deposited by pulsed laser ablation on sapphire and fused silica substrates; films on both substrates were uniform and optically transparent but exhibited distinct orientations. The d33 values of the sapphire-substrate samples…
We use our recently developed interatomic potential, which can reproduce the crystal structures of both phases of B 2 O 3 , in a molecular dynamics study of the structures of vitreous B 2 O 3 . Our calculated results suggest that the use of a partial charge model, and the inclusion of a B-O-B bond-bending, three-body…
Atomistic simulation techniques are applied to the study of crystalline B 2 O 3 . New interatomic potentials are derived by fitting to ab initio energy surfaces derived from both periodic boundary conditions and molecular calculations, to which we add the restraints produced by the observed crystal structures. A novel…
