Zinc oxide (ZnO) thin films have been deposited on glass substrates from isopropyl solutions of zinc acetate by using the Charged Liquid Cluster Beam (CLCB) technique. The structure of the films is determined by the temperature of the substrate. Raman scattering spectra of the films obtained by non-resonant excitation…
For most undergraduate students, introductory quantum chemistry is a challenging subject with many uncommon, if not bizarre, ideas. It is important to relate quantum concepts to the "real" world. Semiconductor quantum dots can be used to introduce and reinforce important points of quantum mechanics and provide real-wo…
Extending the principle of operation of hollow cathode microdischarges to a tube geometry has allowed the formation of stable, high-pressure plasma microjets in a variety of gases including Ar, He, and H2. Direct current discharges are ignited between stainless steel capillary tubes (d=178 μm) which are operated as th…
ABSTRACT: Wettability of chitosan coating solutions on‘Fuji’ apple skin in different surfactant concentration (Tween 80: 0, 10, 100, 1000 ppm) was investigated using the Du Nouy ring method and the sessile‐drop method. The surface property of‘Fuji’ apple skin as a coated solid surface was characterized by the Zisman p…
Abstract The mechanical behavior of compression‐molded polyamide‐6 (PA6) reinforced with 2 wt% of organo‐nanoclay (montmorillonite intercalated with ω‐amino dodecanoic acid) has been studied and compared to that of PA6. The tensile strength and the Young's modulus of the PA6/clay were 15% higher than those of PA6. Dif…
Abstract High performance epoxy‐layered silicate nanocomposites based on tetra‐glycidyl4,4'‐diamino‐dipheny1 methane (TGDDM) resin cured with 4,4'‐diaminodipheny1 sulfone (DDS) have been successfully synthesized. Fluorohectorites modified by means of interlayer cation exchange of sodium cations for protonated dihydro‐…
Abstract Polypropylene (PP)/clay nanocomposites are prepared using different grades of PP, compatibilizers, and organically modified clays. The melt intercalation of the PP is carried out in presence of a compatibilizer. The nanocomposites are characterized using various techniques for the structure and properties. X‐…
This paper presents the relationship among stress, crystallographic texture, and soft magnetic properties of thin films. The magnetic properties considered are those affected by the formation of stripe domains and by the formation of magnetization ripple. In practice, one of these two undesirable domain structures is…
Ferrite nanoparticles (magnetite (Fe 3 O 4 ) and cobalt‐ferrite (Co x Fe 3− x O 4 )) coated with silica (SiO 2 ) were prepared using water‐in‐oil microemulsion of a polyoxyethylen(15)cetylether/cyclohexene system. Observation via transmission electron microscopy revealed that the ferrite nanoparticles were located nea…
Cavitation appears to contribute to tissue injury in lithotripsy. Reports have shown that increasing pulse repetition frequency [(PRF) 0.5-100 Hz] increases tissue damage and increasing static pressure (1-3 bar) reduces cell damage without decreasing stone comminution. Our hypothesis is that overpressure or slow PRF c…
A major challenge in cancer chemotherapy is the selective delivery of small molecule anti cancer agents to tumor cells. Water-soluble polymer-drug conjugates exhibit good water solubility, increased half-life, and potent anti tumor effects. By localizing the drug at the desired site of action, macromolecular therapeut…
We investigate the resistance on the glide of lattice dislocations between adjacent crystal grains due to the presence of a grain boundary (GB). Applying a combination of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and a line tension (LT) model we identify the geometrical parameters that are relevant in the description of thi…
The high-frequency power-transformer design equations for winding and core losses and temperature rise were reviewed from literature and formulated for spreadsheet calculations using material (Steinmetz loss coefficients, ferrite resistivity, copper resistivity), geometry (core area, core length, winding area, winding…
The electrical conductivity and dielectric properties of nanocrystalline zinc ferrite with various grain sizes ranging from 7 to 115 nm have been studied over a wide frequency range 1 Hz–15 MHz by impedance measurements in the temperature range of 300–650 K. The effect of grain size on the conductivity has been invest…
Utilizing refrigeration may provide the only means by which future high-performance electronic chips can be maintained below predicted maximum temperature limits. Widespread application of refrigeration in electronic packaging will remain limited, until the refrigerators can be made sufficiently small so that they can…
Duplex stainless steels, with ferritic-austenitic microstructure, have excellent mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. However, when duplex stainless steels are exposed to temperatures between 600 and 1000 °C, some phase transformations can occur such as chromium nitrides precipitation, chromium carbides pre…
The phenomenological formalism, which yields Fick's Laws for diffusion in single phase multicomponent systems, is widely accepted as the basis for the mathematical description of diffusion. This paper focuses on problems associated with this formalism. This mode of description of the process is cumbersome, defining as…
An Al-5SiO2 (5 wt% of SiO2) aluminium matrix fiber composite was produced where the reinforcement consists of fossil silica fibers needles. After being heat-treated at 600 °C, the original fiber morphology was retained but its microstructure changed from solid silica to an interconnected (Al-Si)/Al2O3 interlaced struc…
Theoretical determination of the ground-state geometry of Si clusters is a difficult task. As the number of local minima grows exponentially with the number of atoms, to find the global minimum is a real challenge. One may start the search procedure from a random distribution of atoms but it is probably wiser to make…
A nuclear reactor pressure vessel steel was submitted to different quenching and tempering heat treatments aimed at simulating neutron irradiation damage. The obtained microstructures were mechanically tested and submitted to metallographic and fractographic survey. The relevant microstructural and fractographic aspec…
