The temperature dependent local structure of $\mathrm{Tb}{\mathrm{Mn}}_{2}{\mathrm{O}}_{5}$ was determined by x-ray-absorption spectroscopy. An anomalous Tb-O distribution is found. At high temperature, it is broad but resolves into two distinct peaks below $\ensuremath{\sim}180\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{K}$.…

Abstract Recycling discarded rubber is important for both environmental and economic reasons. One of the most attractive methods of recycling rubber waste is to use ground rubber (GR) as a compounding ingredient or as a replacement for raw polymers. In this study, ground natural rubber was prepared with different curi…

The effect of mineral matter on the NO reduction efficiency during the coal reburning process was studied in an entrained flow reactor. Apart from the homogeneous reactions between hydrocarbon radicals and NO, the heterogeneous reaction between NO and char is also important in the coal reburning process. The discrepan…

The adsorption of oxygen atoms on the Ti(0001) surface is investigated by the use of ab initio total-energy density-functional methods within the generalized gradient approximation. Two kinds of supercell model (a single-layer and a multiple-layer adsorption model) are designed to study the preference of occupation si…

The Cu-H complex in ZnO consists of Cu on Zn site and a hydrogen atom bound to a nearby O atom, with the O--H bond oriented in the basal plane of the hexagonal lattice to the $c$ axis. The motion of hydrogen in the Cu-H complex is studied by the stress-induced dichroism. Stress applied at room temperature along $[1\ov…

A novel phenomenon called the photoelastic effect had been observed in ZnO nanorods, along with a number of intriguing anomalies. With increasing excitation power, it was found that the A 1 (LO) phonon exhibited a red-shift in frequency, on top of a blue-shift in the photoluminescence (PL) peak energy. In addition, th…
