We have performed first-principles calculations of thick slabs of Ti-doped sodium alanate (NaAlH4), which allows one to study the system energetics as the dopant progresses from the surface to the bulk. Our calculations predict that Ti stays on the surface, substitutes for Na, and attracts a large number of H atoms to…
Nonlinear conductivity effects are studied experimentally and theoretically for thin samples of disordered ionic conductors. Following previous work in this field the {\it experimental nonlinear conductivity} of sodium ion conducting glasses is analyzed in terms of apparent hopping distances. Values up to 43 Åare obta…
L-Arginine (L-Arg) has been widely used as an enhancer of protein renaturation. The mechanism behind its action is still not fully understood. Using hen egg white lysozyme as a model protein, we present data that clearly demonstrate the suppression of the aggregation of denatured protein by L-Arg. By chemical modifica…
We develop a multi order parameter mean-field formalism for systems of coupled quantum rotors. The scheme is developed to account for systems where {\it ortho-para} distinction is valid. We apply our formalism to solid H$_2$ and D$_2$. We find an anomalous {\it reentrant} orientational phase transition for both system…
Precise measurements of YbFeO_3 magnetization in the spin-reoirentation temperature interval are performed. It is shown that ytterbium orthoferrite is well described by a recently developed modified mean field theory developed for ErFeO_3. This validates the conjecture about the essential influence of the rare earth i…
We present a method to realize active optical tips for use in near-field optics that can operate at room temperature. A metal-coated optical tip is covered with a thin polymer layer stained with CdSe nanocrystals or nanorods at low density. The time analysis of the emission rate of the active tips and the analysis of…
It is demonstrated by the current work controlled one-to-one synthesis of Ge nanowires (GeNWs) with ~100% yield from Au seed particles. The optimum GeNW growth conditions are found to be size dependent. For < 50 nm Au seeds, under-growth, one-to-one growth and over-growth can occur depending on the growth conditions.…
High resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and Rutherford backscattering spectrometry (RBS) are used to study the ion induced effects in Au, Ag nanostructures grown on Si and thermally grown SiO2 substrates. Au and Ag films (~2 nm) are prepared by thermal evaporation under high vacuum condition at room t…
To investigate the critical thickness of ferroelectric BaTiO3 (BTO) films, we fabricated fully strained SrRuO3∕BTO∕SrRuO3 heterostructures on SrTiO3 substrates by pulsed laser deposition with in situ reflection high-energy electron diffraction. We varied the BTO layer thickness from 3to30nm. By fabricating 10×10μm2 ca…
Anisotropic optical absorption properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) are determined from a vertically aligned SWNT film for 0.5-6 eV. Absorption peaks at 4.5 and 5.25 eV are found to exhibit remarkable polarization dependence and have relevance to optical properties of graphite. A method for determining…
Tannic acid (TA) was assembled in alternation with two different polycations, strong poly(dimethyldiallylamide) (PDDA) and weak poly(allylamine) (PAH), using a layer-by-layer technique. Their deposition at different pH was confirmed by QCM, UV−vis spectroscopy, and surface charge measurements. TA/polyelectrolyte multi…
We calculate the electron-phonon scattering and binding in semiconducting carbon nanotubes, within a tight-binding model. The mobility is derived using a multiband Boltzmann treatment. At high fields, the dominant scattering is interband scattering by LO phonons corresponding to the corners K of the graphene Brillouin…
The (C2H10N2)[ Mn2(HPO4)3(H2O)] and (CnH 2n+dN2) Mn3(HPO3)4] (n= 2-8) compounds were synthesized by using mild hydrothermal conditions under autogeneous pressure. The phosphate and phosphite phases show a layered structure with the alkyldiammonium cations located between the sheets. The emission and excitation lumines…
What you can’t see can hurt you – especially if the hidden contaminant is soluble surface salts.
Mechanical, combustible and smoke properties of two series of high impact polystyrene (PS-HI) compositions differing in the content of flame retardant [Mg(OH)2] and amount of a modifier (SBS) mentioned in the title (Table 1). In the first series of experiments [50 wt. % of Mg(OH)2] it has been found that modification…
The mechanical properties of PVC sheets can be modified substantially by both uniaxial and biaxial stretching of the material above its glass transition temperature. Previous experimental studies have established a clear pattern in the relationship between tensile properties of oriented PVC products and imposed strain…
The development of new emulsion resins (also known as dispersion or paste resins) continues despite dramatic changes in the applications sector for these types of resins. Suppliers of such resins still find the need to innovate constantly in order to maintain a market position and to both lead and follow the technical…
In the present work, the galvanic corrosion of candidate disposal container material pairs of Cu-Ni 90-10/TStE355 carbon steel (CS) and Cu-Ni 70-30/TStE355 steel (contact specimens), respectively, has been investigated in two disposal-relevant salt brines at 150°C, both without gamma irradiation and in the presence of…
Resistivity is observed quantitatively in a thin electroplated copper layer. A resistivity of 2.6 µΩ·cm is observed in a 600-nm-thick as-deposited copper layer by conventional electroplating. This resistivity increases rapidly with decreasing thickness and reaches 7.8 µΩ·cm at a thickness of 75 nm. This rapid increase…
Abstract The viscosity during the earlier stages of the gelation process of plastisols formulated with 15 different commercial plasticizers has been obtained. Plastisols prepared were rotomoulded and mouldings obtained were characterized according to their wall thickness distribution. This parameter strongly depends o…
