A relatively large laboratory-scale sample of a commercial type of PVC material usually used in building, flooring, home furnishings, clothing, etc., is thermally decomposed under carefully controlled conditions. Dehydrochlorination of PVC material at high temperature (up to 600 °C) has been studied. The results show…
Thermoelectric power generation has the potential to recover a large amount of energy loss at the vapor condensers in the steam-based power plants. A suitable arrangement of thermoelectric modules was designed from the heat transfer theory in the cylindrical heat exchanger. Even under the practical operation limits, 1…
Failure modes of electrospun polymer nanofibers are reported. The nanofibers have diameters in the range of 80–400 nm and lengths greater then several centimeters. The nanofibers fail by a multiple necking mechanism, sometimes followed by the development of a fibriliar structure. This phenomenon is attributed to a str…
Composites were prepared by using carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and methyl-ethyl methacrylate copolymer, modified with nonionic surfactant to improve the carbon nanotube dispersion and workability. The thermal results show that the polymer glass transition temperature increases up to 10°C and that only 1wt% CNT content impr…

In this letter, the role of amorphous Si clusters in the excitation of Er implanted in substoichiometric SiOx films will be elucidated. It will be shown that the temperature of the SiOx thermal process prior to Er implantation is crucial in determining the luminescence properties of the samples. In particular, the lum…
FeTaN/TaN/FeTaN sandwich films, FeTaN/TaN and TaN/FeTaN bilayers were synthesized by using RF magnetron sputtering. The magnetic properties, crystalline structures, microstructures and surface morphologies of the as-deposited samples were characterized using angle-resolved M-H loop tracer, VSM, XRD, TEM, AES and AFM.…
A fractional reaction-diffusion equation is derived from a continuous time random walk model when the transport is dispersive. The exit from the encounter distance, which is described by the algebraic waiting time distribution of jump motion, interferes with the reaction at the encounter distance. Therefore, the react…
We analyse the ground-state energy and correlation energy of the Heisenberg model as a function of spin, both in the ferromagnetic and in the antiferromagnetic case, and in one, two and three dimensions. First, we present a comparative analysis of known expressions for the ground-state energy $E_0(S)$ of {\it homogene…
In the Fe-Mo based B-site ordered double-perovskite, A2FeMoO6.0, with iron in the mixed-valence II/III state, the valence value of Fe is not precisely fixed at 2.5 but may be fine-tuned by means of applying chemical pressure at the A-cation site. This is shown through a systematic 57Fe Mossbauer spectroscopy study usi…
A generating coordinate is introduced into the exchange-correlation functional of density-functional theory (DFT). The many-body wave function is represented as a superposition of Kohn-Sham (KS) Slater determinants arising from different values of the generating coordinate. This superposition is used to variationally…
The electronic properties of a semi-infinite metal surface without a bulk gap are studied by a formalism able to account for the continuous spectrum of the system. The density of states at the surface is calculated within the $GW$ approximation of many-body perturbation theory. We demonstrate the presence of an unoccu…
This a review article, which presents a general framework for the analysis of interatomic magnetic interactions in the spin-density-functional theory, which is based on the magnetic force theorem, make a link with the models for transition-metal oxides, and gives several examples of how this strategy can be used for t…
A simple and effective method was demonstrated to tune surface plasmon resonance (SPR) wavelength of silver island films by introducing a dielectric medium to vary interisland dielectric constant. The medium, either overcoating or sandwiching the silver islands, can make a dramatic effect on the tunability. We had ext…
We have measured conductance of single-walled semiconducting carbon nanotubes in field-effect transistor (FET) geometry and investigated the device response to alcoholic vapors. We observe significant changes in FET drain current when the device is exposed to various kinds of alcoholic vapors. These responses are reve…
We discuss linear and nonlinear optical wave propagation in a left-handed medium (LHM) or medium of negative refraction (NRM). We use the approach of characterizing the medium response totally by a generalized electric polarization (with a dielectric permittivity {tilde {var_epsilon}}(w, {rvec k})) that can be decompo…
Nuclear transfer was used to produce a cloned mule, a sterile hybrid equine species. Mules result from breeding a male donkey (Equus asi-nus, 62 chromosomes) with a female horse (Equus caballus, 64 chromosomes), producing an animal with 63 chromosomes. Equine cloning has been hampered by a lack of optimal in vitro ooc…
A possible route to finding new optically switchable molecular solids is to investigate the photoeffects of compounds that exhibit an abrupt phase transition or hysteresis loop. Such compounds must possess at least bistable states that are separated by a potential barrier in free energy. In fact, on the basis of this…
A multistep pulsed-laser deposition (PLD) process is presented for epitaxial, nominally undoped ZnO thin films of total thickness of 1 to 2 μm on c-plane sapphire substrates. We obtain reproducibly high electron mobilities from 115 up to 155 cm2/V s at 300 K in a narrow carrier concentration range from 2 to 5×1016 cm−…
The use of semiconductor nanocrystals (quantum dots) as fluorescent labels for multiphoton microscopy enables multicolor imaging in demanding biological environments such as living tissue. We characterized water-soluble cadmium selenide-zinc sulfide quantum dots for multiphoton imaging in live animals. These fluoresce…
