Abstract The growth rate of stress corrosion cracking (SCC) was measured for cold-worked, thermally treated Alloy 690 (UNS N06690, CW TT 690) and cold-worked, solution-treated Alloy 690 (CW ST 690) in hydrogenated pressurized water reactor (PWR) primary water under static load condition. Three important patterns were…
The present work involves the synthesis of a series of Sm(2-x)Dy(x)Zr(2)O(7) compounds (0.0 ≤ x ≤ 2.0) by a controlled gel combustion process. The powders were thoroughly analyzed by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and diffuse-reflectance UV-visible spectroscopy. The p…
We have fabricated oxide based spin filter junctions in which we demonstrate that magnetic anisotropy can be used to tune the transport behavior of spin filter junctions. Until recently, spin filters have been largely comprised of polycrystalline materials where the spin filter barrier layer and one of the electrodes…
As a structural analogue of the carbon nanotube (CNT), the boron nitride nanotube (BNNT) has become one of the most intriguing non-carbon nanostructures. However, up to now the pre-existing restrictions/limitations of BNNT syntheses have made the progress in their research rather modest. This work presents a new route…
We show that resonant tunneling of electromagnetic fields can occur through a three-layer structure composed of a single-negative (i.e., either negative permittivity or negative permeability) slab paired with a bilayer made of double-positive (i.e., positive permittivity and permeability) media. In particular, one of…
Sneaked in: Carbon atoms from defective supports are incorporated in nickel nanoparticles at relatively low temperatures (for example in a Ni(100) surface; Ni brown, C black) The dissolved carbon not only modifies the electronic properties of the metal but it also leads to a reconstruction of the nanoparticles. These…
We studied the pairing instabilities in K x Fe 2− y Se 2 using a two-stage functional renormalization group (FRG) method. Our results suggest the leading and subleading pairing symmetries are nodeless d x 2 − y 2 and nodal extended s , respectively. In addition, despite having no Fermi surfaces we find the buried hole…
Near band gap photoluminescence (PL) of hBN single crystal has been studied at cryogenic temperatures with synchrotron radiation excitation. The PL signal is dominated by the D-series previously assigned to excitons trapped on structural defects. A much weaker S-series of self-trapped excitons at 5.778 eV and 5.804 eV…
In this work we use the in-situ accumulated stress monitoring technique to evaluate the evolution of the stress during the strain balancing of InAs/GaAs quantum dots and quantum posts. The comparison of these results with simulations and other strain balanced criteria commonly used indicate that it is necessary to con…
A review of the approaches to numerical description of strain relaxation in thin films during epitaxial growth of heterostructures
Two neutral silver(I)-phenylethynide clusters incorporating the [((t)BuPO(3))(4)V(4)O(8)](4-) unit as an integral shell component, namely {(NO(3))(2)@Ag(16)(C≡CPh)(4)[((t)BuPO(3))(4)V(4)O(8)](2)(DMF)(6)(NO(3))(2)}·DMF·H(2)O and {[(O(2))V(2)O(6)](3)@Ag(43)(C≡CPh)(19)[((t)BuPO(3))(4)V(4)O(8)](3)(DMF)(6)}·5DMF·2H(2)O, ha…
PURPOSE: To evaluate the capability of amide proton transfer (APT) MR imaging for detection of prostate cancer that typically shows a higher tumor cell proliferation rate and cellular density leading to an MRI-detectable overall elevated mobile protein level in higher grade tumors. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twelve patien…
A model for the strength of pure carbon nanotube (CNT) fibers is derived and parametrized using experimental data and computational simulations. The model points to the parameters of the subunits that must be optimized in order to produce improvements in the strength of the macroscopic CNT fiber, primarily nanotube le…
Because of their unique properties, carbon nanotubes and, in particular, multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) have been used for the development of advanced composite and catalyst materials. Despite their growing commercial applications and increased production, the potential environmental and toxicological impacts of…
Abstract The corrosion susceptibility of Mg and its alloys in humid and aqueous environments limits their widespread application. The performance of several conversion coating technologies is reviewed herein. In addition to the assessment of performance based on the literature to date, thermodynamic analysis has been…
Single-molecule surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SMSERS) of crystal violet (CV) has been reported since 1997, yet others have offered alternative explanations that do not necessarily imply SMSERS. Recently, the isotopologue approach, a statistically significant method to establish SMSERS, has been implemented for…
Abstract Using Foreman’s method, the core structure and Peierls stress of dislocations in bubble rafts have been investigated within the framework of the modified Peierls-Nabarro (P-N) model in which the discrete lattice effect is taken into account. The core width obtained from the modified P-N model is much wider th…
Abstract The results of pressure‐tuning Raman spectroscopic, X‐ray powder diffraction and solid‐state 13 C‐NMR studies of selected dicarboxylate anions intercalated in a Mg–Al layered double hydroxide lattice are reported. The pressure dependences of the vibrational modes are linear for pressures up to 4.6 GPa, indica…
Abstract Miscibility and crystallization behaviors of biodegradable poly(butylene succinate‐ co ‐butylene terephthalate) (PBST)/poly(hydroxyl ether biphenyl A) (phenoxy) blends were investigated with various techniques in this work. PBST and phenoxy are completely miscible as evidenced by the single composition‐depend…
Abstract We report on the fabrication of highly uniform periodic arrays of metallic nanodots formed on glass substrates through a facile anodic aluminum oxide template‐assisted process and their use in selective surface‐enhanced Raman scattering spectroscopy to probe the structural properties of flexible crystalline‐s…
