The growth of titanium oxide nanoparticles on reconstructed Au(111) was investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Ti was deposited by physical-vapor deposition at 300 K. Regular arrays of titanium nanoparticles form by preferential nucleation of Ti at the elbow sites of the he…
The air side of the water‐air interface is the most hydrophobic surface known. In quantitative terms the water‐air interface is about 30% more hydrophobic than the surfaces of nonpolar condensed‐phase compounds or materials such as octane or Teflon. The hyperhydrophobicity of the air side of the water‐air interface is…
Thin films of the full-Heusler compound, Co 2 MnAl, were grown on Cr-buffered MgO(001) substrates at different growth temperature and post-annealing temperature by magnetron sputtering. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements show that Cr-buffer layer can largely improve the surface morp…
Abstract Diblock copolymers, consisting of a photoaddressable mesogen‐containing dispersed phase and a polystyrene matrix, have been synthesized and characterized as holographic data storage materials. The photoaddressable phase contains p ‐methoxy‐substituted azobenzene side groups and benzoylbiphenyl mesogenic side…
Clusters of oxalate and malonate dianions with glycine in its zwitterionic form were found by ab initio and density functional theory calculations. Proton transfer is impeded by an electrostatic barrier, but the resulting anion-anion pairs form complexes despite having negative dissociation energies. A variety of X-/Y…
Rose Bengal was spun on spherical gold nanoparticles immobilized on a quartz plate by a silane coupling agent. The enhancement of the dye fluorescence was studied by changing the diameter of the gold nanoparticles from 20 to 250 nm. A maximum enhancement of dye fluorescence was observed at a size of 100 nm. We found g…
Dynamic light scattering is used as a sensitive probe of hybridization on DNA-functionalized colloidal gold nanoparticles. When a target DNA strand possesses an 8 base "dangling end", duplex formation on the surface of the nanoparticles leads to an increase in hydrodynamic radius. Duplex melting is manifested in a dro…
Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) as well as corresponding analytical techniques, such as high resolution TEM (HRTEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis, electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) and elemental mapping via a Gatan imaging filter (GIF), have been used to study the complex precipitation morpholo…
We obtained the high-density rigid polyurethane foam (RPUF) filled with expandable graphite (EG) by airtight cast molding, and its fire performance was evaluated. The results show that the LOI values increase linearly with EG content, especially the LOI value of the 20 wt% EG-filled RPUF composites increases rapidly t…
This article describes the change in partial discharge (PD) pattern of high voltage rotating machines and the change in the tan /spl delta/ as a function of the applied test voltage during the aging processes as caused by the application of different stresses on stator bars. It also compares the PD patterns associated…
Nanocomposite magnetic materials α-Fe∕C(a), Fe2B∕C(a), and Fe1.4Co0.6B∕C(a) were prepared by mechanically grinding α-Fe, Fe2B, or Fe1.4Co0.6B with amorphous carbon [C(a)] powders. Complex permittivity, permeability, and electromagnetic wave absorption properties of resin compacts containing 40-vol% composite powders o…
As a candidate of a lead-free positive temperature coefficient of resistivity (PTCR) material, barium titanate (BaTiO3)-based solid-solution ceramics, Ba1−x(Bi1∕2Na1∕2)xTiO3 with x=0.05 (BBNT5), have been synthesized by an ordinary sintering technique. Temperature dependences of the dielectric and ferroelectric proper…
Diamond-like carbon (DLC) is being considered for widespread clinical use as a surface coating for cardiovascular devices. We synthesized fluorinated DLC (F-DLC) coatings in order to create a more hydrophobic surface with improved antithrombogenicity and flexibility when compared with conventional DLC coatings by comb…
Microwave discharges of H2 admixed with CH4 in a moderate-pressure quartz bell jar reactor used for diamond deposition are studied numerically. Special attention was devoted to high-power densities which provide the most effective way for producing high-quality diamond films. First, a one-dimensional radial model desc…
Sandwich surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates (3S) utilizing coupling between continuous metal films and plasmonic particles were fabricated using silver mirrors, electrochemically roughened films, and various sizes of silver nanoparticles. The effect of excitation wavelength and nanoparticle size on SE…
We have investigated the effects of La substitution on the oxygen stability, defects, leakage current and polarization properties in ferroelectric bismuth titanate (Bi 4 Ti 3 O 12 ) by measuring the properties of single crystals and by ab initio electronic structure calculations. It is shown that electron holes arisin…
As the prevalence of vascular disease has continued to expand, the need for a suitable arterial replacement has prompted researchers to look beyond synthetic and autologous grafts toward the field of tissue engineering. Advances in vascular tissue engineering have utilized both mesenchymal and hematopoietic stem cells…
Following previous work [ Textile Research Journal, 74,751-756 (2004)], the mechanical and surface properties and handle of wool and cotton fabrics were measured using the KES-FB system after different stages of treatment. This investigation shows that the mechanical properties of wool and cotton changed remarkably af…
Droplets of molten alloys of composition Ge12Sb88, Ag0.055In0.065Sb0.59Te0.29, Ge4Sb1Te5, and Ge2Sb2Te5, used for optical data storage, surrounded by a molten dehydrated B2O3 flux were undercooled to 40–80K below their liquidus temperature in a differential thermal analyzer. The crystal-melt interfacial energy was cal…
The microhardness and fracture toughness of laser nanocrystalline ceramics based on the cubic oxides Y 2 O 3 and Y 3 Al 5 O 12 are determined experimentally. It is shown by comparative measurements that the fracture toughness and microhardness of Y 2 O 3 ceramics exceed the corresponding parameters of Y 2 O 3 single c…
