We investigate by molecular dynamics simulations the validity of the frequency-dependent Stokes-Einstein (SE) relation in supercooled liquids at different temperatures. The results indicate that the SE relation holds at intermediate frequencies that correspond to the beta -relaxation and the onset of the alpha -relaxa…

Understanding and predicting quantum dots ordering is a central problem for many physical processes. Here, we investigate the mechanisms which govern the self-assembling of Ge dots on nanopatterned vicinal Si substrate. In a first part, we investigate the formation of nanopatterns by self-organization of growth instab…

Theoretical investigation of the onset voltage of negative corona on stranded conductors is described in this paper. The method of calculation is based on the criterion developed for the formation of repetitive negative corona Trichel pulses. This calls first for an accurate calculation of the electric field in the vi…

Temperature-dependent field emission characteristics of ZnO nanorods are reported in this study. The work function of ZnO nanorods is notably reduced with the temperature increasing from 100 to 600 K. The electron emission properties of ZnO nanorods are very sensitive to temperature. The turn-on field decreases signif…

Two experimental test programs are conducted to collect data and simulate the dynamic behavior of CuAlBe shape memory alloy (SMA) wires. First, in order to evaluate the effect of temperature changes on superelastic SMA wires, a large number of cyclic, sinusoidal, tensile tests are performed at 1 Hz. These tests are co…

Lipase-catalyzed terpolymerizations were performed with the monomers trimethylolpropane (B3), 1,8-octanediol (B2), and adipic acid (A2). Polymerizations were performed in bulk, at 70 degrees C, for 42 h, using immobilized lipase B from Candida antartica (Novozyme-435) as a catalyst. To determine the substitution patte…

Self-immolative dendrimers are a unique class of molecules that are able to disassemble upon undergoing a specific triggering reaction through domino-like fragmentations. We have designed and synthesized a novel AB(6) self-immolative dendritic adaptor that amplifies a single cleavage event into the release of six repo…

Glancing angle deposition was used to produce approximately 150-nm-thick silver nanoparticle films, which were evaluated as localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) biosensors. The films have a strong extinction peak around 368 nm in air due to LSPR. As the refractive index of the surrounding environment is increase…

Water-soluble CdS nanocrystals (NCs) capped with mercaptoacetic acid (MA) were synthesized in aqueous solution. Hydrogen peroxide directly oxidized the MA-capped CdS NCs and produced strong chemiluminescence (CL) emission in basic conditions. It was found that the CL of CdS NCs was size-dependent, and the CL intensity…
