A narrow size distribution of irregular aluminium particles was blended into power cable insulation grade polyethylene. Some batches of the resulting material were then melt-filtered to reduce the size of particles present and narrow the distributions further. The failure statistics of the loaded polymers were then de…

The photoluminescence of Ti-doped sapphire (Ti:Al 2 O 3 ) crystals excited using the second (532 nm) and fourth (266 nm) harmonics of a high power pulsed Nd:YAG laser has been investigated. Excitation at 532 nm into the crystal field band of Ti 3+ produces the well known broad infrared emission band corresponding to t…

Direct measurements of the surface recombination velocity (SRV) on etched InP(110) and at its interfaces with various metals deposited by thermal evaporation have been performed using ultrafast time-resolved photoluminescence. The results show that the original InP low SRV is retained when these surfaces are coverd wi…

We report the growth of epitaxial τ-MnAl ferromagnetic films on GaAs substrates by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). Reflection high-energy electron diffraction and x-ray diffraction show that the τ-phase films grow with the c axis of the tetragonal unit cell normal to the {100}GaAs substrate surface. In the bulk, τ-MnAl…

We describe a new type of color display consisting of polymer-dispersed droplets of chiral liquid crystal having negative dielectric anisotropy. In the field-off state, the droplets scatter light randomly. In the field-on state the droplets selectively reflect a bright color. Measurements of reflectivities and switchi…

The temperature dependence of the room pressure Raman spectra of the GeO 2 (hexagonal and tetragonal) and SiO 2 (quartz, coesite, and stishovite) polymorphs is presented. Several transformations upon heating are reported: α‐β quartz, coesite‐cristobalite, stishovite‐silica glass (with Si in four‐fold coordination). Fo…

Abstract The charge transfer (CT) interactions between polyemeraldine (PEM) and six organic electron acceptors were studied. The complexing ability of the acceptors, based on the maximum attainable electrical conductivity of the resulting complex, could be arranged in the following ascending order:tetrachloro‐ p ‐benz…

Abstract The zone‐drawing method has been applied to prepare ultra‐high modulus polyvinyl alcohol fibers. First, the suitable temperature for zone‐drawing was decided. In the first zone drawing, when drawing temperature was as high as near melting point, the highest draw ratio and modulus were obtained. The modulus wa…

Abstract The thermal degradation of polystyrene (PS) in various kinds of solvents was studied in the temperature range from 300 to 450°C. The conversion of PS to low molecular weight products was dependent on the hydrogen donating ability of the solvents used: Solvents with greater donating ability resulted in less co…

Abstract The effect of a remote nitrogen plasma on polyethylene and polystyrene was studied. The gas flow rate, the dilution of reactant gas, exposure times, and reactor base pressure were all found to have a large impact on the efficiency of nitrogen incorporation. Optimum conditions caused 18 atom % nitrogen to be i…

High dielectric constant SrTiO3 thin films were sputter deposited on barrier layers/Si substrate to fabricate a capacitor for dynamic random access memories. Dielectric constant (εr) values of 140–210 were achieved for the 150-nm-thick SrTiO3 films using a Pt/Ti or Pt/Ta double-layer barrier. In the Pt(50 nm)/Ti(10 nm…

Molecular-dynamics simulations of highly nonspherical rodlike and platelike molecules reveal that one of the two diffusion coefficients in the nematic-liquid-crystal phase increases with density, reaches a maximum, and decreases, while the other coefficient decreases monotonically in the usual way. This effect seems t…

We present, in this paper, a lattice model of liquid-crystalline polymers with rigid groups attached to a semiflexible main chain through semiflexible spacers. The polymers are modeled as sequences of isodiametric units allocated at the nodes of the face-centered-cubic lattice. The model allows study of the phase beha…
