We found that thin antimony films contacted by a single layer of a variety of atoms can form topological surface and interface states in the gap of bulk energy bands that preserve time-reversal symmetry. Using density functional calculation, we have included bismuth, graphene, boron-nitride and boron-doped graphene la…
Two different approaches to the creation of "rigid" (gel-like) DNA particles (or DNA nanoconstructions) are considered. The physicochemical approach is based on the formation of nanobridges between double-stranded DNA molecules ordered in quasinematic layers of cholesteric liquid-crystalline dispersion (CLCD) particle…
We formalize the theoretical effects of optical resonator enhancement on diffraction efficiency, read rate, and write rate of plane wave holograms, with a view toward page based holographic data storage. Trade-offs in cavity enhancement are also examined. Theory predicts ~160% of enhancement in diffraction efficiency…
Bulk tellurium (Te) presents a threefold screw axis with highly anisotropic chain structure, where every Te atom forms strong covalent bonds in the chain and much weaker bonds in the adjacent chains. The bonds in the adjacent chains are critical to the total energies of Te nanostructures since the nearest neighbors ar…
Abstract A new scattering particle structure, dense core–mesoporous outer layer beads, was designed and synthesized by a one-pot hydrothermal method. Though the particle size was much larger than that of the conventionally used scattering particles, the photovoltaic performance was superior to that of 500-nm rutile pa…
Advantages of neutron diffraction for metallurgical studies are highlighted with research examples performed on the High Pressure - Preferred Orientation diffractometer at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center. The previously inconclusive crystallographic structure of the Fe–Al ϵ-phase, stable between 1095 and 1231°C,…
The active conformation of a family of metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype 4 (mGlu4 ) positive allosteric modulators (PAMs) with the cyclohexane 1,2-dicarboxylic scaffold present in cis-2-(3,5-dichlorophenylcarbamoyl)cyclohexanecarboxylic acid (VU0155041) was investigated by testing structurally similar six-member…
We performed thermoplastic forming (TPF) on FeCoNbB metallic glass ribbons with a supercooled liquid region exceeding 100 K, and found the sample after TPF is still completely amorphous. More importantly, the giant magnetoimpedance (GMI) effect was improved after the forming process: the maximum GMI ratio and sensitiv…
For monitoring the optical properties of material under a dynamical processing, we design a compact in-situ ellipsometry by using a liquid crystal (LC) phase retarder. Since the key issue of an accurate ellipsometer is the alignment of each optical component in the system, hence we not only proposed the alignment proc…
This paper presents the decoupling direct tracking control method for the super multi-layer optical disk. The disk includes multiple recording layers and a servo layer with a guiding groove, and data is recorded on each recording layer right above the groove of the servo layer by using two laser beams. However, some d…
TlBr radiation detector operation degrades with time at room temperature and is thought to be due to electromigration of Tl and Br vacancies within the crystal as well as the metal contacts migrating into the TlBr crystal itself due to electrochemical reactions at the metal/TlBr interface. X-ray photoemission spectros…
The use of materials in nano-scale dimensions is proving to be a promising approach to overcome drug delivery challenges. ‘Nanomedicine’ technologies are gradually achieving commercial success and reaching the clinic. Sub-micron nanocarriers have the potential to ferry the therapeutic to its site of action and in this…
The GaAs vertical gradient freeze (VGF) crystal growth process can be intensified in various ways, e.g., utilizing external fields, scaling up, numbering up the crucibles, etc. Successful application of traveling magnetic fields (TMFs) in 4 in. VGF GaAs growth for the flow control and process acceleration encouraged u…
We performed a thorough multifrequency Raman spectroscopy study to access the entire spread of all traces of chirality species and confirm the absence of metallic species in metallicity and single chirality sorted single‐walled carbon nanotubes. On the bulk scale the diameters of all detectable species fall within 1.4…
Based on a series of asymmetrical bis-Schiff base H2Ln (n = 1–4) ligands with different electronic and steric effects, a series of [Mn(Ln)Cl] complexes 1–4 are obtained and shown to be effective catalysts in ring-opening copolymerization of epoxides and dianhydrides. Through the structure design, the input of electron…
An easily dispersible multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) derivative is prepared, and provides a platform for the synthesis of the phenyl butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) analog. The carbene addition reaction of MWCNTs makes derivatives that are less soluble in organic solvents; by exploiting this differential solubil…
The IFA-597 (Integrated Fuel Assessment) experiments from the International Fuel Performance Experiments database were designed to study the thermal behavior of mixed oxide (MOX) fuel and the effects of an annulus on fission gas release in light water reactor fuel. An evaluation of nuclear fuel pin heat transfer in th…
The paper analyzes the problem of distributing an optimal limit bending moment of elastic-plastic circular and annular plates subjected to variable repeated loading at shakedown. The geometry of the plate is known and variable repeated loading is defined by time-independent upper and lower bounds (unloading phenomenon…
Kinetic parameters of ‘oxide ion – CCl4’ interaction (carbochlorination) on the background of liquid BaCl2-KCl (0.26:0.74) in 943–1023 K temperature range have been determined by a potentiometric method. A cell with the membrane oxygen electrode Pt(O2)|ZrO2(Y2O3) was used for detection of O2‒ concentration during the…
Lead–tin–telluride is a well-known thermoelectric material in the temperature range 350–750 K. Here, this alloy doped with manganese (Pb0.96−yMn0.04SnyTe) was prepared for different amounts of tin. X-ray diffraction showed a decrease of the lattice constant with increasing tin content, which indicated solid solution f…
