Abstract The structural behaviour of a haüyne with a chemical composition of Na 4.35 Ca 2.28 K 0.95 [Al 6 Si 6 O 24 ]- (SO 4 ) 2.03 , at room pressure and from 33 to 1035°C on heating, was determined by using in situ synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction data (λ = 0.92249(5) Å). The satellite reflections in haüyne are…
Glasses in a wide range of chemical composition were thermally poled and the stability of the second-order optical nonlinearity induced was studied through isothermal annealing experiments. Enhanced stability was found in aluminosilicate and aluminoborosilicate with respect to silica (at least a five order of magnitud…
The crystal structure of rat alpha-parvalbumin has been determined at 1.05 Angstrom resolution, using synchrotron data collected at Advanced Photon Source beamline 19-ID. After refinement with SHELX, employing anisotropic displacement parameters and riding hydrogen atoms, R = 0.132 and R(free) = 0.162. The average coo…
Hydroxyl‐type Sc 2 O 3 precursors have been synthesized via precipitation at 80°C with hexamethylenetetramine as the precipitant. The effects of starting salts (scandium nitrate and sulfate) on powder properties are investigated. Characterizations of the powders are achieved by elemental analysis, X‐ray diffractometry…
Several 1,3-diazabicyclo[3,1,0]hex-3-ene derivatives with varying substitutions such as 9H-fluorenyl, 4-(cyclohexyl-phenyl)-2-methyl, 4-cyclohexyl phenyl, 2-phenyl-2-methyl, and 2-cyclohexyl-2-phenyl that behave as ‘intelligent material’ are reported.
Single‐phase small crystals of Li‐, Mg‐, Ca‐, Y‐, Nd‐, and Yb‐α‐SiAlONs have been obtained by liquid‐phase sintering for various compositions and processing conditions. These crystals are suitable for seeding grain growth in α‐SiAlON ceramics. The influence of chemical and processing parameters (starting composition a…
Density functional calculations are performed to study the interaction of molecular and atomic hydrogen with (5,5) and (6,6) single-wall carbon nanotubes. Molecular physisorption is predicted to be the most stable adsorption state, with the molecule at equilibrium at a distance of 5-6 a.u. from the nanotube wall. The…
Abstract Summary: The temperature dependence of the structure of either cross‐linked or non‐cross‐linked ultra‐high‐molecular‐weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fiber compacts was studied by synchrotron microbeam wide‐angle X‐ray scattering (WAXS), focusing on the fiber‐fiber interface. The phase transition sequence is: mel…
Softness is an important property of textile fibers, and animal fibers in particular. At present, there is no reliable method for objectively evaluating fiber softness. This paper examines a simple technique of such evaluations by pulling a bundle of parallel fibers through a series of pins. Softer fibers with lower b…
An overview is given of our recent IR spectroscopic, optical, electrokinetic, and microscopic studies on polyelectrolyte multilayers (PEMs), built up using the consecutive layer-by-layer technique, their interactions, and application possibilities. The influence of pH on the deposition of PEMs consisting of commercial…
Hydrophobic solid surfaces with controlled roughness were prepared by coating glass slides with an amorphous fluoropolymer (Teflon® AF1600, DuPont) containing varying amounts of silica spheres (diameter 48 μm). Quasi-static advancing, θA, and receding, θR, contact angles were measured with the Wilhelmy technique. The…
The microstructural evolution of nanocrystalline anatase TiO 2 during high‐energy planetary ball milling was studied. The results show that mechanical activation induces the transformations of nanocrystalline TiO 2 from anatase to srilankite and rutile at room temperature and under ambient pressure. As the milling tim…
Thermal poling of silica-lead glass-silica waveguides formed by laser ablation of lead glass and e-beam evaporation of the silica cladding is reported. A large nonlinearity localized within the Pb-glass layer was found by scanning the probe laser beam across an angle-polished sample, and a peak second-order nonlinear…
This paper considers an optimization technique in which the objective is attained via alterations to the physical geometry of the system. This optimization framework, to be considered in the context of electron guns, is known as optimal shape design. Optimal shape design has been used in a number of applications inclu…
By exploiting nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques along with novel applications of saturation difference analysis, we deciphered the functions of the previously uncharacterized products of three bacterial genes, rbsD, fucU, and yiiL, which are part of the ribose, fucose, and rhamnose operons of Escherichia col…
Stearic acid was incorporated into whey protein through emulsification to produce films. Whey protein films were prepared by dispersing 6.5% protein in distilled water. Glycerol was the plasticizer agent. Stearic acid was added at different levels (0.0 to 1.0%) and the films were analyzed at different pHs (5.0, 6.0, 7…
This paper presents a new processing method to produce nanotube reinforced composites by using single-walled nanotube (SWNT) bucky paper as reinforcement. The SWNT bucky paper is an entangled mat of SWNTs, which is a highly porous mesh structure. To successfully produce SWNT bucky paper reinforced composites, it is es…
Solutions of alkanethiol-protected Au nanoparticles undergo a slow aging process over a period of several days, which dramatically reduces their reactivity in a place-exchange reaction with disulfides. This behavior was tentatively attributed to the reorganization of the most reactive binding sites (e.g., defect sites…
Resonant photon absorption in the GHz range was observed via low-temperature micro-SQUID magnetization measurements of the spin ground state S = 1/2 of the molecular complex V 15 . A simple single-molecule interpretation is proposed. The line width essentially results from intra-molecular hyperfine interaction. The re…
Multiple new materials are being adopted by the semiconductor industry at a rapid rate for both semiconductor devices and packages. These advances are driving significant investigation into the impact of these materials on device and package reliability. Active investigation is focused on the impact of back-end-of-lin…
