Field emission measurements using 0.3 μm thick nitrogen containing hydrogenated amorphous carbon films (a-C:H:N) on n++-Si cathodes are reported. Onset emission fields as low as 4 V μm−1 have been obtained using a flat plate anode configuration. Uniform emission is observed over the entire cathode area at current dens…

We describe a technique for creating a thin polystyrene film containing a periodic array of cylindrical holes, with a hole size of approximately 13 nm and a lattice constant of 27 nm. The starting material is a polystyrene-polybutadiene diblock copolymer, which self-assembles into a hexagonally packed array of polybut…

We present an {\it ab initio} approach for the computation of the magnetic susceptibility $χ$ of insulators. The approach is applied to compute $χ$ in diamond and in solid neon using density functional theory in the local density approximation, obtaining good agreement with experimental data. In solid neon, we predict…

Several porous material systems (e.g.. hydrogels, conducting polymers, electrorheologic fluids) make possible a control of their properties in response to an appropriate stimulus (and viceversa) and therefore. they belong to the class of intelligent materials. In the present paper we propose a first classification of…

The generalized stacking fault (GSF) energy surfaces have received considerable attention due to their close relation to the mechanical properties of solids. We present a detailed study of the GSF energy surfaces of silicon within the framework of density functional theory. We have calculated the GSF energy surfaces f…

A general approach has been developed to determine the conductivity of individual nanostructures while simultaneously recording their structure. Conventional lithography has been used to contact electrically single ends of nanomaterials, and a force microscope equipped with a conducting probe tip has been used to map…

High-melt-strength polypropylene (PP) was achieved with irradiation by an electron beam generated from an accelerator in the presence of polyfunctional monomers (PFM). Among 16 PFMs, the relatively shorter molecular chain bifunctional monomers such as 1,4-butanediol diacrylate (BDDA) and 1,6-hexanediol diacrylate (HDD…

Two classes of siloxane copolymers were evaluated for their resistance to the low earth orbit (LEO) environment. Poly(imide–siloxane) (PISX) copolymers were used as the resin for PISX–carbon fiber composites. These composites were exposed to the LEO environment, for 50 h, as part of the “Effect of Oxygen Interaction w…
