Scanning force microscopy (SFM) has been used to probe the local polarization state and piezoelectric properties of ferroelectric films. The conductive SFM tip was employed as a movable top electrode to detect the piezoresponse in the film induced by an ac voltage. Our measurements reveal a spatial dependence of the p…

The electronic structures of undoped c ‐ and t ‐ZrO 2 were calculated by a first‐principles molecular orbital method. A preliminary analysis revealed that experimental energy‐loss near‐edge structure profiles obtained in ZrO 2 –8 mol% Y 2 O 3 could be satisfactorily explained from the present theoretical calculation.…

Abstract Pure InP nanocrystals were synthesized in aqueous ammonia (potassium stearate, 0.01 mol·L−1) at 170 °C for 12 h. The X-ray diffraction pattern was of the cubic phase with lattice constant a=5.8523±5×10−4 Å. The secondary particles with 180 nm consisting of fine InP NCs with 15 nm in size were found from the t…

The determination of elastic and piezoelectric constants by means of the resonance method is described in detail in the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Standards. However, in practice, it is not easy to obtain a self-consistent complete set of elastic and piezoelectric coefficients using the resonanc…

Chemical adsorption and desorption of hydrogen atoms on single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) are investigated by using molecular dynamics simulations. It is found that the adsorption and desorption energy of hydrogen atoms depend on the hydrogen coverage and the diameter of the SWNTs. Hydrogen-adsorption geometry at…

Neppiness is one of the most important aspects of cotton yarn quality and significantly influences the appearance of woven and knitted fabrics produced from that yarn. The direct sources are neps and trash contained in the cotton fiber sliver feeding the spinning frame. Nevertheless, not all neps cause yarn faults. Fo…

Isoporphyrin zinc(II) complexes can be synthesized using the MacDonald ["2+2"] approach, with suitably substituted dipyrromethanes and 5,5-dialkyldipyrromethanes. The zinc(II) complexes are stable, show characteristic optical and 1 H NMR spectra, and have been characterized as perchlorate salts by X-ray diffraction. A…

We theoretically study a single disclination motion in a thin free-standing liquid crystalline film. Backflow effects and the own dynamics of the orientational degree of freedom (bond or director angle) are taken into account. We find the orientation field and the hydrodynamic velocity distribution around the moving d…

The influence of attrition milling on the thermal decomposition of kyanite (Al 2 O 3 ·SiO 2 ) to mullite (3Al 2 O 3 ·2SiO 2 ) and SiO 2 , and its subsequent sintering, was studied. A commercial kyanite was attrition‐milled for times up to 12 h. Dilatometry confirmed that as‐received unmilled kyanite decomposes between…

Abstract Two cement pastes commonly used in concrete formulations were characterized by XPS before and after coating with an epoxy resin and a hardener. The XPS allowed the surface chemistry change induced by the organic coating to be monitored. In particular, the C 1s spectra were peak fitted in order to deduce the c…
