The device and circuit implications of carbon nanotube field effect transistors (CNFET) as a logic technology are assessed. The salient device characteristics and fabrication techniques are described based on measured device parameters. The device/circuit performance of CNFET are estimated and the key technical challe…
Abstract The reinforcement mechanics of viscose‐fiber‐reinforced polypropylene (PP) composites were studied. The effect of the coupling agent, maleated polypropylene (MAPP), was of special interest. The fibers, coupling agent, and PP were extruded and injection‐molded. The composition, mechanical properties, fracture…
We present a discrete solvent reaction field (DRF) model for the calculation of frequency-dependent hyperpolarizabilities of molecules in solution. In this model the solute is described using density functional theory (DFT) and the discrete solvent molecules are described with a classical polarizable model. The first…
We have synthesized ZnCNi 3 in which Zn replaces Mg of the superconducting intermetallic perovskite MgCNi 3 ( K). Dc-resistivity and magnetic measurements show that ZnCNi 3 is a paramagnetic metal without onset of superconductivity down to 2 K. Furthermore, even though the two compounds have the same lattice structure…
A new approach for obtaining an estimate of the effective size of the free neutral clusters is proposed. The approach relies on an experimental measure of the surface and interior or "bulk" cluster atoms provided by the x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and on a model for the attenuation of photoelectrons ejected from…
We study the thermodynamics and single-chain statistics of wormlike polymer solutions with Maier–Saupe-type interactions using self-consistent-field (SCF) theory. The SCF equations are derived using a systematic field-theoretical approach which yields the SCF equations as the lowest order approximation, but permits fl…
Abstract An experimental study of the peroxide‐induced degradation of polypropylene in a corotating twin‐screw extruder, operating under various conditions, was reported. Runs were performed without and with peroxide in different concentrations. The evolution of the chemical reactions along the extruder was characteri…
Polycrystalline samples of titanium oxide were prepared by thermal sintering, in argon and air atmospheres at temperatures ranging from 1100 to 1500 °C, from powders of anatase and rutile phases. The samples sintered in argon were further treated in oxygen at the temperature of 800 °C for intervals of time up to 8 h.…
With the increase of impact velocity, penetration mechanism may change at a transition point from nondeformable projectile penetration regime to semihydrodynamic penetration regime. Analysis is presented to predict this transition point. Good agreements between analytical predictions and experimental results are obtai…
Abstract Simultaneous addition of bromine and acrylate to the double bonds of fatty acids in triglycerides was achieved. In the first part of the study, methyl oleate was bromoacrylated in the presence of acrylic acid and N ‐bromosuccinimide as a model compound for the application of the reaction to the triglycerides.…
Abstract Epoxy–clay nanocomposites were prepared by the dispersion of an organically modified layered clay in an epoxy resin (diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A) and curing in the presence of methyl tetrahydro acid anhydride at 80–160°C. The nanometer‐scale dispersion of layered clay within the crosslinked epoxy‐resin ma…
The morphology and optical properties of zinc oxide fibres with diameters in the nanometre to micrometre range are reported. The PVA/zinc acetate organic/inorganic hybrid nanofibres were successfully prepared by electrospinning using polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and zinc acetate. Pure zinc oxide fibres were obtained by hig…
The reliability physics of low-k interconnect dielectrics is of great interest. Leakage, breakdown and TDDB data are presented for fluorinated silica, porous carbon-doped silica, and very porous carbon-doped silica. The breakdown and TDDB performance of the dielectrics are observed to degrade with the degree of porosi…
The amorphous aluminum silicate (Al2O3)2(SiO2) [AS2] is investigated by means of large scale molecular dynamics computer simulations. We consider fully equilibrated melts in the temperature range 6100 K> or =T> or =2300 K as well as glass configurations that were obtained from cooling runs from T=2300 to 300 K with a…
Optical heterodyne-detected optical Kerr effect (OHD-OKE) experiments are used to study the orientational dynamics of the ionic organic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium nitrate (EMIM+NO3−) over time scales from ∼1 ps to ∼2 ns, and the temperatures range from 410 to 295 K. The temperatures cover the normal liquid sta…
The mesoscopic concept is applied to the description of microcracked brittle materials. The mesoscopic equations are solved in a special case when the microcracks are developing according to the Rice-Griffith evolution law. The evolution of the crack distribution function is investigated in case of simple loading cond…
A modification to real space polymeric self-consistent field theory algorithms that greatly improves the convergence properties is presented. The method is based on Anderson mixing [D. G. Anderson, J. Assoc. Comput. Mach. 12, 547 (1965)], and each iteration computed takes negligibly longer to perform than with other m…
The combination of large thickness (>3 µm), large-area uniformity (75 mm diameter), and high growth rate (up to 0.4 µm min −1 ) in assemblies of complex-shaped nanowires on lithographically defined patterns has been achieved for the first time. The nanoscale and the microscale have thus been blended together in sculpt…
The short- and intermediate-range orders of an amorphous Ge30Se70 alloy produced by mechanical alloying were studied by reverse Monte Carlo simulations of its x-ray total structure factor, Raman scattering, and differential scanning calorimetry. The simulations were used to compute the G(Ge-Ge) (RMC)(r), G(Ge-Se) (RMC…
Using the FDTD method, we investigate the electromagnetic propagation in two-dimensional photonic crystals, formed by parallel air cylinders in a dielectric medium. The corresponding frequency band structure is computed using the standard plane-wave expansion method. It is shown that within partial bandgaps, waves ten…
