In a spirit akin to the sandpile model of self-organized criticality, we present a simple statistical model of the cellular-automaton type which produces an avalanche spectrum similar to the characteristic-earthquake behavior of some seismic faults. This model, that has no parameter, is amenable to an algebraic descri…
The equation of state and the shock Hugoniot of deuterium are calculated using a first-principles approach, for the conditions of the recent shock experiments. We use density functional theory within a classical mapping of the quantum fluids [ Phys. Rev. Letters, {\bf 84}, 959 (2000) ]. The calculated Hugoniot is clos…
We investigate the static and dynamic behaviors of a Br adlayer electrochemically deposited onto single-crystal Ag(100) using an off-lattice model of the adlayer. Unlike previous studies using a lattice-gas model, the off-lattice model allows adparticles to be located at any position within a two-dimensional approxima…
During the fracture of nanocontacts gold spontaneously forms freely suspended chains of atoms, which is not observed for the iso-electronic noble metals Ag and Cu. Au also differs from Ag and Cu in forming reconstructions at its low-index surfaces. Using mechanically controllable break junctions we show that all the 5…
We report on the effects of partial substitution of nickel by palladium on the thermoelectric properties of ZrNiSn-based half-Heusler compounds. It is shown that the substitution of palladium for nickel results in a significant, beneficial reduction of the thermal conductivity. The Seebeck coefficient also decreases,…
The performance of a composite material system is critically controlled by the interfacial characteristics of the reinforcement and the matrix material. Here we report a study on the interfacial characteristics of a carbon nanotube (CNT)-reinforced polystyrene (PS) composite system through molecular mechanics simulati…
We have measured the mean square displacement of a particle (MSD) and mean product of displacement of a particle and that of another particle (x-MSD) in two-dimensional (2d) and three-dimensional (3d) colloidal crystals for the first time using digital video microscopy. These (x-)MSDs have been compared to an overdamp…
The phase transitions and structure of 7% La-modified Pb(Zr0.65Ti0.35)O3 (PLZT 7/65/35) at 40 K were investigated using high-resolution powder diffraction. The high-resolution data suggest the existence of an alternate phase, which is not expected from the widely accepted phase diagram. By structural analysis and Riet…
Y 2 O 3 films doped with Eu are grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition on Si(100) and yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) (100). The mismatch is only 2.6% between the lattice constant of YSZ and half the lattice constant of Y2O3. The samples are characterized by x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, R…
Ab initio methods are used to probe the underlying source of the red shift that arises in the absorption band of polymers that contain alternating phenyl and pyridine rings when the N atom of the latter is protonated. It is found that electronic charge transfers from the phenyl to the pyridine as an electron is excite…
In this paper the effect of particle shape on the bond improvement of epoxy-particle coating composite is evaluated. In our previous studies, it has been shown that adding foreign particles in the epoxy may enhance the bond characteristics of coating. It has been found that the enhancement of bond for coating by addin…
This communication reports that several metastable phases form subsequently during heat treatment (up to 500 °C) of Al-rich Al–Pt multilayers. Besides the known a(amorphous)-Al2Pt, formation of two metastable phases with a composition close to Al5Pt was also observed in a transmission electron microscope. One of them…
An ideal n=3 member of Ruddlesden–Popper (RP) phase Ca4Mn3O10 was obtained by solid-state reaction under high pressure. This phase has been studied by transmission electron microscopy, convergent beam electron microscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, and electron energy loss spectroscopy. The latt…
The weak-field dielectric dispersion (100 Hz–1.8 GHz) studies both of pure and Fe2+/Fe3 modified Cd2Nb2O7 ceramics over the temperature range of 90–380 K are presented and discussed from the viewpoint of relaxor and glassy properties of the system. It is revealed that Cd2Nb2O7 pyrochlore is intolerant of the addition…
The C=C stretching modes in resonance Raman spectra and infrared reflectivity were measured at temperatures between 15 K and 300 K using various polarizations in k-(BEDT-TTF)_2Cu[N(CN)_2]Br, its fully and partially deuterated analogues, and ^{13}C-substituted analogue. The infrared- and Raman-active bands were re-assi…
The effects of La content on crystal structure and ferroelectric property of La-substituted Bi4−xLaxTi3O12 were investigated. We utilized as-deposited thin films prepared on (111)Pt/SiO2/Si substrates at 680 °C by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. The films showed (117) preferred orientation, and the lattice spa…
The growth of Sr on n-type Si(001) was studied in detail for coverages between 0 and 1 monolayer (ML) using core level photoemission spectroscopy. In a similar manner, the Sr saturation coverage was studied in the 600–925 °C temperature range. Data analysis was carried out by a method that allows accurate determinatio…
Interaction between diamond crystals and liquid silicon at pressures of 2 and 9 GPa and various temperatures was studied by Raman spectroscopy, x-ray single crystal diffractometry, and scanning electron microscopy. The mechanism of growth of silicon carbide (SiC) film on diamond crystals depended on the magnitude of a…
Sputtered La0.71Sr0.29Mn1.01O3−δ (LSMO) thin films on (001) SrTiO3, polycrystalline yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) and (112̄0) sapphire substrates demonstrate the distinctive low-field magnetoresistance (MR) correlated with the microstructure and the strain of the films. The epitaxial LSMO film on (001) SrTiO3 shows…
The structural, magnetic, and transport properties of La0.7Ca0.3Mn1−xCuxO3 (0⩽x⩽0.2) have been investigated. The maximum magnetoresistance (MR) is about 4×106% for the sample with x=0.15, which is about ∼104 times the maximum MR for samples with x⩽0.1. A change in the structural parameters and magnetic and resistivity…
