An experimental technique has been developed for studying the liquid organization and distribution during capillary rise in fabrics. To detect the small quantity of water that travels along fabric, we used a new electrical method. This method is based on the measurement of the electrical resistance and led to the dete…
In the first part of the article, an evaluation was made of the characteristic parameters defined as the squeezing susceptibility or compression sensitivity S, permanent deformation DP, elasticity E and resilience R, all quantities expressed in per cent, which determine the behaviours of carpets of different pile mate…
We report the dependence of growth yield of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) on heat-treatment time and catalyst film thickness by the alcohol catalytic chemical vapor deposition method. Three types of heat-treatment, synthesis of 30 min, synthesis of 30 min after annealing of 30 min, and synthesis of 60 min, we…
The copper damascene process is one of the most promising technologies for fabricating Cu wirings for electronic devices such as LSIs. In this research, the fabrication of damascene Cu wirings was conducted using solid acidic catalyst. When a Cu-plated wafer, whose oxide is a basic oxide is dipped into a mixture of ox…
The structural parameters of ε-FeGe have been determined at ambient conditions using single crystal refinement. Powder diffraction has been carried out to determine structural properties and compressibility for pressures up to 30 GPa and temperatures as low as 82 K. The discontinuous change in the pressure dependence…
Ternary phases in the systems Zr–As–Se and Zr–As–Te were studied using single crystals of ZrAs1.40(1)Se0.50(1) and ZrAs1.60(2)Te0.40(1) (PbFCl-type of structure, space group P4/nmm) as well as ZrAs0.70(1)Se1.30(1) and ZrAs0.75(1)Te1.25(1) (NbPS-type of structure, space group Immm). The characterization covers chemical…
A systematic study of the spark plasma sintering of TiB2 starting from mixture of elemental powders was performed to investigate the temperature distribution between pressing tool and sinter body. The reaction mechanism and time-dependant evolution of the sintering behavior are established. The simultaneous applicatio…
A nanohot embossing using a curved stage is proposed to improve the replication ratio of nanostructures at near the edge of a thick (sub-mm-order thickness) polymer substrate. The lower replication ratio at near the edge resulting from a conventional hot embossing is due to lower compressive stress, which is simulated…
While researchers are trying to solve the world's energy woes, hydrogen is becoming the key component in sustainable energy systems. Hydrogen could be produced through photocatalytic water-splitting technology. It has also been found that hydrogen and methane could be produced through photocatalytic reduction of carbo…
The effect of CuO on the sintering temperature, microstructure and microwave dielectric properties of (Zr0.8Sn0.2)TiO4 (ZST) modified with 1 wt% of ZnO has been investigated. Microwave dielectric properties of ZST ceramics are measured from cryogenic to room temperatures (15–290 K). Crystallite sizes of sintered ZST c…
This work deals with the preparation and characterization of tungsten tips for the use in UHV low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy (STM and STS, respectively). These specific environments require in situ facilities for tip conditioning, for further sharpening of the tips, as well as for relia…
We report on inelastic neutron scattering experiments on YbRh2Si2 powder to study the low-energy spin dynamics at temperatures between T=0.8 and 22 K. The low-energy magnetic response is quasielastic. However, it exhibits an unusual form not modelled by a simple relaxation rate yielding a Lorentzian lineshape, but can…
Optical mirrors used in extreme ultraviolet lithography systems require a figure accuracy and a roughness of about 0.1 nm rms. In addition, mirror substrates must be low-thermal-expansion materials. Thus, in this study, we processed two low-thermal-expansion materials, ULE [K. Hrdina, B. Hanson, P. Fenn, R. Sabia, Pro…
Microwave-assisted route for the synthesis of nanomaterials has gained importance in the field of synthetic technology because of its faster, cleaner and cost effectiveness than the other conventional and wet chemical methods for the preparation of metal oxide nanoparticles. In the present work, synthesis of metal oxi…
High-temperature proton conductors are oxides in which low-valence cations are doped as electron acceptors; the incorporation of water molecules into the oxides results in the formation of protonic defects that act as charge carriers. Since the protons thus formed are in equilibrium with other electronic defects, elec…
The centrifugal atomisation of metallic melts using a rotating disk is an important process for powder production and spray deposition. The theoretical prediction of powder particle size is desirable for the design of atomisers. In this paper, wave theory was applied to analyse the disintegration of metallic melts in…
The crystal and electronic structures, as well as the luminescence properties of Sr2Al2−xSi1+xO7−xNx:Eu2+ are reported. First-principles calculations energetically confirm that the Al and Si atoms are in partial ordering in the 2a and 4e sites in Sr2Al2SiO7. In addition, the band structure calculation shows that Sr2Al…
Higher environmental standards have made the removal of arsenic from water an important problem for environmental engineering. Iron oxide is a particularly interesting sorbent to consider for this application. Its magnetic properties allow relatively routine dispersal and recovery of the adsorbent into and from ground…
The effect of field-induced aggregation of particles on the magnetization property of ferrofluids is investigated. From the viewpoint of energy, magnetizability of ferrofluids is more complicated than predicted by Langevin theory because the aggregation, i.e., the transition of ferrofluid microstructure, would consume…
A magnetically separable photocatalyst Bi12TiO20/SiO2/NiFe2O4 (BSN) with a typical ferromagnetic hysteresis was prepared by a simple process: the magnetic 200 wt% SiO2/NiFe2O4 (SN) dispersion prepared by a liquid catalytic phase transformation method and the visible-light-active photocatalyst Bi12TiO20 prepared by a s…
