Dynamics of a polydisperse 3D dry foam was experimentally investigated by means of a novel nondestructive method, more precisely by optical tomography associated to a foam reconstruction algorithm. The foam coarsening law obeys to a 3D extension of the classical von Neumann coarsening law of 2D foams. It is obtained a…

Quantum beats due to coherently prepared acoustic vibrational modes have been observed for 14 to 17 nm diameter Au particles. The beat frequency is inversely proportional to the particle size. The dephasing time is ca. 15 ps, which is limited by the broad size distribution (±2 nm) of the samples.

Using an effective Hamiltonian parametrized from first principles, Monte Carlo simulations are performed in order to study the piezoelectric response of BaTiO3 in the ferroelectric tetragonal phase as a function of temperature. The effect of an electric field on the phase behavior is also illustrated by a simulation o…

In this work, we examine in detail the structure and dynamics of the face-centered cubic (100) and (111) crystal–melt interfaces for systems consisting of approximately 104 hard spheres using molecular dynamics simulation. A detailed analysis of the data is performed to calculate density, pressure, and stress profiles…

Electron loss and electron-induced photon-emission probabilities are calculated near arbitrarily shaped dielectrics described by frequency-dependent response functions. The exact solution of Maxwell's equations is reduced to self-consistent equations involving integrals over the interfaces. The particular case of axia…

By analyzing the vibrational eigenmodes of a model structure obtained previously by quantum molecular dynamics, the two sharp features appearing in the Raman spectrum of vitreous silica could conclusively be assigned to three- and four-membered ring structures embedded in the network. The projections of the eigenmodes…

Microporous polypropylene sheets are prepared by biaxially stretching polypropylene sheets containing CaCO3 filler. Here, the stretching ratio is one of the most important factors in the preparative process, and removing the CaCO3 filler also affects the sheet properties. Their effects were studied in relation to the…

Styrene–maleic anhydride (SMA) copolymers containing either 7 or 14% maleic anhydride were filled with either pine flour or dry-process aspen fiber from a medium density fiberboard (MDF) plant. Material properties of the filled and unfilled SMA plastics were compared with those of aspen-fiber-filled and unfilled polys…

Measurements of nonspecular EUV scattering from Mo/Si multilayer coated mirrors have been performed. The surface power spectral density is deduced from the angular scattering distribution and in all cases is found to be in excellent agreement with surface profile measurements, by both optical and atomic force microsco…
