The effect of duty cycle of pulsed dc currents on the critical length-current density product, (jl/sub c/), was measured using the Blech-Kinsbron edge-displacement technique [Thin Solid Films 25, 327 (1975)]. Unencapsulated Al edge-displacement segments mere stressed at various duty cycles and the critical lengths, th…
Computer analysis of the field emission from multilayered cathodes of Si–SiO2–Si [quantum well (QW)]–SiO2 for different system parameters (the thicknesses of the SiO2 insulator and QW layers, carrier concentration in the substrate, crystal orientation, etc.) has shown that a well pronounced peak on the Fowler–Nordheim…
The marine planktonic diatom Rhizosolenia robusta Norman is widely distributed in tropical and subtropical areas and occurs occasionally in more temperate ones. Traditionally it has been considered a species of the genus Rhizosolenia, but its taxonomic status has not been reviewed. The present study is based on light…
Abstract Clay liners have been widely used to contain toxic and hazardous waste materials. Clays absorb contaminant cations due to their exchange capacity. To improve the performance of the clay liner, fly ash, a waste material arising from the combustion of coal has been studied as a pre-filter material. In particula…
The effect of filler content and size on the mechanical properties of a new type of wood-based filler, oil palm wood flour (OPWF), in polypropylene (PP) was investigated. Four sizes of OPWF filler at different filler loadings were compounded using a twin screw compounder. All sizes of filler showed a similar trend of…
Abstract A comparative evaluation of different carbon black grades was performed for polymer composites whose matrices were composed of a single polymer, or polymer blend. The electrical resistivity, rheological properties, tensile strength and morphology were evaluated. The highest conductivity level was measured for…
Cathodoluminescence and photoluminescence of Bi12SiO20 and Bi12GeO20 samples are studied. Both kinds of samples show a dark orange central part or core. Emissions in the blue, green, and red spectral regions are observed. The 640 nm band is the predominant feature in the core emission. The evolution of this band durin…
Abstract The optical properties of Er 3+ ions in zinc borosulphate (ZnSO 4 · 7 H 2 O + B 2 O 3 ) and alkali zinc borosulphate (R 2 SO 4 + ZnSO 4 · 7H 2 O + B 2 O 3 , R 2 SO 4 = Li 2 SO 4 · H 2 O, Na 2 SO 4 , or K 2 SO 4 and Gd 2 (SO 4 ) 3 · 8H 2 O) glasses are reported. The assigned energy level data of Er 3+ (4f 11 )…
Abstract A simple and new synthetic method of tungstate thin films (CaWO4, MgWO4, PbWO4, ZnWO4) was developed. The absorption and luminescence spectra of tungstate thin films synthesized on quartz substrates were measured; the optical properties were also studied. It was found that CaWO4 has Eg = 5.4 eV of a direct tr…
Etching of a photosensitive polymer in high density oxygen plasma was studied. The polymer is a commonly used insulation material in a magnetic recording head. A quantitative relationship between etch rate and inductive power, bias power, and pressure was established by using the response surface method. Etch rate was…
The NIST Crystal and Electron Diffraction Data Center builds a comprehensive database with evaluated chemical, physical, and crystallographic information on all types of well-characterized substances. The data are evaluated and standardized by specially designed computer programs as well as by experts in the field. Fr…
The paper presents a new method of taking into account overlapping zones in stacked transformer cores for magnetic field calculations. The method has been worked out with the use of homogenization technique under the assumption that the distribution of magnetic flux between the layers of overlaps results from the tend…
A carbon-carbon double bond has been introduced into an aliphatic alkoxy terminal chain of 2,3- or 2′,3′- difluoroterphenyl systems. The effect of the position and nature (E/Z) of the double bond on the mesomorphic behaviour of these compounds in comparison with the parent systems has been studied. The smectic C therm…
The Embedded Atom Method (EAM) is a semi-empirical calculational method developed a decade ago to calculate the properties of metallic systems. By including many-body effects this method has proven to be quite accurate in predicting bulk and surface properties of metals and alloys. Recent modifications have extended t…
Abstract The effects of blow‐molding process variables on the environmental stress crack resistance (ESCR) of high‐density polyethylene (HDPE) bottles were studied. Experimental design was employed to test the effect of die temperature, mold temperature, molding time, and drop time. Bottles blown at each condition wer…
Liquid crystal (LC) devices arc presented which convert linearly polarized light into linearly polarized light with axial symmetry. Their symmetry axis is determined by the propagation axis of the light beam. Such light fields can be characterized by an integer P, which we call the polarization order number. Our LC de…

Transparent-photoluminescent Y3Al5O12:Tb (YAG:Tb) thin films were deposited on single- crystalline sapphire at two different substrate temperatures by means of the pulsed laser deposition technique. The ablation targets were fabricated from YAG:Tb powders obtained with a new ceramic processing technique (combustion sy…
The zone-drawing method (ZD) was applied to electrochemically synthesized polypyrrole films containing tosylate (PPy/TsO) and the mechanical and electrical properties of the resulting films were investigated. It was found that the electrical conductivity of the zone-drawn film reached 365 S cm−1 in the drawing directi…
The adhesion energy, G (at low separation velocities), between a rubber and a solid surface, is expected to increase when flexible chains, chemically identical to the rubber, are attached to the surface. This can be set up with or without chemical binding of the chains to the rubber (“bound” chains or “free” chains).
