A range of compositions and temperatures below the monotectic temperature exists where there are thermodynamic restrictions that prevent the equilibrium solid from forming directly from the undercooled homogeneous liquid. In this region, the solid can form only after liquid‐liquid phase separation has occurred. As sug…
We report on the microstructure and mechanical properties of diamond films grown using varying nitrogen additions to a plasma with a high-CH4 fraction of 15% (in hydrogen) and an operating pressure of 125 Torr. Films were grown at N2/CH4 ratios ranging from 0 to 0.30 by fixing the CH4 flow rate and changing only the N…
The influence of yttrium doping on the microstructure and microchemistry of hot‐pressed α‐alumina was investigated using a combination of electron microscopy techniques. The implications of microstructure and microchemistry on the improved creep behavior of the doped material are discussed. The samples doped only with…
This symposium was international in nature, with leaders in the fields of fatigue technology and the metallurgy of titanium from the US, Europe and Asia. It covered basic research, development, applications and modeling--life predictions and design of both fatigue crack initiation and propagation of titanium alloys. T…
Thin organic films with interesting magnetic propertiessuch as the magnetic memory effect have been achieved using the Langmuir–Blodgett technique. Results are summarized in this report whereby polyoxometalate anions containing magnetically active transition metals have been incorporated as layers of discrete clusters…
The determination of the detailed chemical nature of oxidized aluminum species is an essential requirement for the study of many important practical aspects associated with aluminum metal and its compounds. While thick oxidized films of aluminum metal can be easily characterized by x-ray powder diffraction when the fi…
We present results for total-energy simulations of the energetics of vacancy occupation of \ensuremath{\gamma} alumina using an empirical potential that allows the ionic valence to vary according to the local environment and includes Coulombic electrostatic interactions among the anions and cations. Our model predicts…
We use molecular-dynamics simulations to study the effect of temperature and pressure on the local structure of liquid water in parallel with neutron-scattering experiments. We find, in agreement with experimental results, that the simulated liquid structure at high pressure is nearly independent of temperature, and r…
Liquid crystalline dendrimers are proving to be a fascinating class of materials that possess unusual physical properties. The self-assembling process involved in the formation of the mesomorphic state apparently deforms the spherical disposition of the supermolecular dendrimers to give rod-like entities that pack tog…
The new charge transfer salt, beta' '-(bedt-ttf)(4)[(H(3)O)Fe(C(2)O(4))(3)].C(5)H(5)N, I, (bedt-ttf = bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene) has a crystal structure closely similar to that of the reported salt beta' '-(bedt-ttf)(4)[(H(3)O)Fe(C(2)O(4))(3)].C(6)H(5)CN, II, which has a superconducting critical temperatur…
Very tiny Au particles on TiO2 show excellent activity and selectivity in a number of oxidation reactions. We have studied the vapor deposition of Au onto a TiO2(110) surface using x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, low energy ion scattering, low energy electron diffraction, and temperature programmed description (TPD)…
Various novel photo-physical properties such as a drastic photoluminescence quenching and photoconductivity enhancement and a photo-induced enhancement of low-field microwave absorption due to a highly effective photo-induced electron transfer have been observed in various conducting polymers doped with fullerenes and…
We study the vibrational properties of pure type-II silicon clathrate $({\mathrm{Si}}_{136})$ using first-principles electronic structure methods. The results of our calculations are consistent with recent Raman experiments. We explore the effects of pressure on its open framework and determine the equation of state a…
The Escherichia coli 3-ketoacyl-ACP reductase gene (fabGEc) was cloned using a PCR technique to investigate the metabolic link between fatty acid metabolism and polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) production. Three plasmids respectively harboring fabGEc and the poly-3-hydroxyalkanoate synthesis genes phaCAc and phaC1Ps from Ae…
A sugar-binding polymer film capable of continuous sensingarises from the copolymerization of aniline and 3-aminophenylboronic acid. Its absorption spectrum between 500 and 800 nm undergoes large changes on addition of various saccharides at neutral pH, changes which are dependent on the saccharide concentration and a…
Photoinduced nonlinear optical phenomena in amorphous ${\mathrm{As}}_{2}{\mathrm{Te}}_{3}{\ensuremath{-}\mathrm{C}\mathrm{a}\mathrm{C}\mathrm{l}}_{2}{\ensuremath{-}\mathrm{P}\mathrm{b}\mathrm{C}\mathrm{l}}_{2}$ glasses have been studied using experimental and theoretical quantum chemical and molecular-dynamics methods…
Computer simulation studies on the miscibility behavior and single chain properties in binary polymer blends are reviewed. We consider blends of various architectures in order to identify important architectural parameters on a coarse grained level and study their qualitative consequences for the miscibility behavior.…
GroEL encapsulates non-native protein in a folding cage underneath GroES (cis-cavity). Here we report the maximum size of the non-native protein to stay and fold in the cis-cavity. Using total soluble proteins of Escherichia coli in denatured state as binding substrates and protease resistance as the measure of polype…
The dielectric behavior containing the film thickness dependent dielectric constant, capacitance–voltage (C–V) variation, and the electrical conduction behavior containing the film thickness dependent current density-electric field variation of rf sputter deposited (Ba,Sr)TiO3 (BST) thin films are analyzed based on a…
The role of hydrogen in enhancing the photoluminescence (PL) yield observed from Si nanocrystals embedded in SiO2 has been studied. SiO2 thermal oxides and bulk fused silica samples have been implanted with Si and subsequently annealed in various ambients including hydrogen or deuterium forming gases (Ar+4%H2 or Ar+4%…
