Abstract Structure–property relationships in poly(urethane urea)s synthesized with ultra‐low monol content poly(propylene glycol) soft segments were investigated as soft segment molecular weight (2000, 4000, and 8000 g/mol) and hard segment content (6.3 and 9.0 wt %) were varied. Morphological features such as interdo…

In an effort to gain insight into the effect of carbon nanotube confinement on reaction enthalpies and activation energies, calculations using hybrid density functional theory have been carried out for the Menshutkin S N 2 reaction in gas phase and inside carbon nanotubes. The polarizability of the carbon nanotubes pr…

One-dimensional quasilattices are classified into mutual local-derivability (MLD) classes on the basis of geometrical and number-theoretical considerations. Most quasilattices are ternary, and there exist an infinite number of MLD classes. Every MLD class has a finite number of quasilattices with inflation symmetries.…

Different liquid routes have been used to prepare Eu 3+ -activated YPO 4 phosphors. These materials have been compared with conventionally obtained YPO 4 . For the first time (to our knowledge), a specific sol−gel approach has been developed to produce this material. All phases have been checked with X-ray diffraction…

Water adsorption on a ${\mathrm{PuO}}_{2}(110)$ surface is studied using a periodic model with both the local-density approximation (LDA) and the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) of density-functional theory. The 60 core electrons of the Pu atom are represented by a relativistic effective core potential, and s…

We present a combined study by Scanning Tunneling Microscopy and atomistic simulations of the emission of dissociated dislocation loops by nanoindentation on a (001) fcc surface. The latter consist of two stacking-fault ribbons bounded by Shockley partials and a stair-rod dislocation. These dissociated loops, which in…

Irradiation of the N−D stretching band in crystalline deuterium-doped ammonium copper Tutton salt rotates the ammonium ion and changes the conformation of molecules about the copper. The crystal salt exists in at least two different crystal forms, each form containing a particular Jahn−Teller distorted copper conforma…

Pressure swing NOx adsorption-desorption cycles were performed in the temperature range 200-350 degrees C using a fixed adsorbent bed of compressed Na-Y pellets and using a honeycomb coated with Na-Y powder. The experiments were performed using a synthetic gas mixture mimicking exhaust from a lean burn internal combus…

Abstract The crystallization kinetics of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) blocks in poly(ethylene oxide)‐ block ‐poly(1,4‐butadiene) (PEO‐ b ‐PB)/poly(1,4‐butadiene) (PB) blends were previously found to display a one‐to‐one correlation with the microdomain morphology. The distinct correlation was postulated to stem from the…

The low temperature photoluminescence spectrum of InP nanocrystals (NCs) is composed of a near band-edge exciton and a defect emission band at lower energies. The present study characterized the defect emission utilizing an optically detected magnetic resonance spectroscopy (ODMR) both in continuous-wave and time-reso…

We calculated the effect of varying the length of a metal-semiconductor carbon nanotube junction on its electrical properties. Joining a metallic (5,5) tube to a semiconducting (10,0) tube leads to the creation of new states near the Fermi energy and produces a larger conductance gap (about 2 eV) than the band gap of…
