Abstract This paper deals with ‘Coalescence Extraction’, in which no intensive mixing is required. It is based on the use of a primary solvent, which, in combination with the feed, forms a homogeneous solution. This homogeneous phase has enormous potential for the treatment of cell fragments and other highly viscous m…

Abstract A reactor for catalytically oxidizing liquid methanol has been developed for supplying heat to an automotive reformer. In the tests presented in this paper we show that it is possible to catalytically combust liquid methanol by dispersing the methanol and air by a nebulizer over the catalysts. In the experime…

Preexposure to molecular oxygen gas, O2,g, can have a strong effect on the nucleation and growth of Ag islands on Ag(100) at 250 K. At this temperature, molecular oxygen dissociates efficiently at kink sites on steps. Subsequent deposition of Ag produces a far lower density of Agad islands than without oxygen. There i…

The dielectric properties of Mn-doped ZnO ceramics with electrically active grain boundaries at low temperatures of 10–70 K were investigated by admittance spectroscopy. It was observed that the dielectric relaxation of the main shallow donors, zinc interstitial, in these samples occurred in the temperature range of 2…

Dominant n-type conductivity in sulfur-doped chemical-vapor-deposited diamond is observed by Hall-effect measurement. The activation energy is estimated at 0.5–0.75 eV above 600 K. Below 600 K, the carrier concentration deviates from the activation energy, and Hall mobility decreases in comparison with that above 600…

We model the polarization behavior of ferroelectric multilayered composite structures including the double layer and the triple layer under the action of variable fields. The model takes into consideration the ceramic/polymer interfacial charge and the nonlinear hysteresis nature of the ferroelectric constituent mater…

The dynamics of polarization backswitching in highly oriented Pb(Zr0.3Ti0.7)O3 (PZT) thin films has been studied in nanoscale using piezoresponse scanning force microscopy (SFM). Our measurements reveal that a SFM-written domain with diameter about 200 nm in PZT films loses its polarization through both the sidewise a…

An evolution of the double-beam laser interferometer used for piezoelectric measurements in ferroelectric thin films is reported. Measuring the d33 hysteresis of a ferroelectric material using lock-in technique with large time constants requires a varying bias field to be applied to the sample over a long period of ti…

We have measured the step response in thin film Permalloy as a function of both a hard-axis pulsed field amplitude and an easy-axis longitudinal magnetic bias field using a pulsed inductive microwave magnetometer. The bias field ranged from 0 to 8000 A/m (0 to 100 Oe) and the pulsed field varied from 0.32 to 320 A/m (…
