The optical properties of chromium-doped sodium silicate glass synthesized under oxidizing conditions have been investigated. The method of preparation provides a large concentration of ions, but absorption and emission spectra showed that a small amount of (and ) ions are always present. The Dq-, B- and C-parameters…
Calorimetric measurements and undercooling investigations were performed on the high-melting, completely miscible binary systems (Co, Ni, Fe)-Pd. The alloys, characterized by phase diagrams with concavous liquidus and solidus lines, exhibit heat-of-fusion values considerably lower than calculated assuming ideal soluti…
The desorption of hydrogen from a novel material, a Ti45Zr38Ni17-H quasicrystal, was observed using high-temperature powder x-ray diffraction, demonstrating the potential utility of Ti-based quasicrystals in place of crystalline or amorphous hydrides for hydrogen storage applications. The maximum observed change in hy…
Thin films of porous silicon formed by electrochemically etching silicon wafers changed color when exposed to an ambient atmosphere saturated in various organic solvent vapors. The degree of the color change was related to the refractive indices of the solvents. Analysis of the data using a four-layer optical model in…
Amorphous material has a characteristic anomaly called a boson peak in the low-energy phonon density of states. Boson peaks of permanently densified ${\mathrm{SiO}}_{2}$ and ${\mathrm{GeO}}_{2}$ glass retrieved from various high pressures ${P}_{0}$ were measured by Raman scattering at ambient pressure. In ${\mathrm{Si…
It is simply demonstrated that the giant magnetoimpedance (GMI) response of a plate or ribbon is rigorously equivalent to the response of the same sample in ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) experiment. Thus, all of the solutions for FMR response behavior of metals may be applied to the description of GMI. For situations…
We present results of large-scale molecular dynamics simulations of hard sphere systems at values of the volume fraction $\ensuremath{\varphi}$ along the disordered, metastable branch of the phase diagram up to random close-packing ${\ensuremath{\varphi}}_{c}$. By quantifying the degree of local order, we determine th…
The shapes of isolated Bok globules and embedded dense cores of molecular clouds are analyzed using a nonparametric kernel method, assuming the alternate hypotheses that they are randomly oriented prolate objects or that they are randomly oriented oblate objects. In all cases, the prolate hypothesis gives a better fit…
We report here on the size-dependent kinetics of exciton recombination in a III–V quantum dot system, InP. The measurements reported include various frequency dependent quantum yields as a function of temperature, frequency dependent luminescence decay curves, and time-gated emission spectra. This data is fit to a thr…
The coupling model of Ngai et al. [K. L. Ngai, Disorder Effects in Relaxation Processes, edited by R. Richert and A. Blumen (Springer-Verlag, Berlin, 1994)] is applied to treat polymer dynamics in solution. Important dynamic quantities considered here include the zero-shear viscosity η and the light-scattering spectru…
Magnetic materials normally exhibit a smooth response to external fields, but recent experiments reported in Physical Review Letters yield stepwise response curves. In his Perspective, Chudnovsky discusses the results, which may be evidence for quantum behavior on a macroscopic scale.
The interaction of nitric oxide (NO) with an Ir(111) surface has been studied with supersonic molecular beam techniques and electron energy loss spectroscopy. Initial adsorption probability S0, measurements as a function of incident kinetic energy Ei, surface temperature Ts, and angle of incidence θi reveal that separ…
A new lattice model for Monte Carlo simulations of dense polymer melts, developed in the spirit of Verdier–Stockmayer algorithm on square and simple cubic lattices, is presented. By introducing diagonals of squares and cubes as bonds, the lattice model acquires a large number of configurations and wiggling local moves…
Two switchable, mesoscopically periodic materials were created by combining crystalline colloidal array (CCA) self-assembly with the temperature-induced volume phase transition of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM). Body-centered-cubic CCAs of hydrated, swollen PNIPAM particles Bragg-diffract infrared, visible, and…
This work experimentally and theoretically investigates the use of bifunctional initiators in the synthesis of high-impact polystyrene (HIPS). The experimental design involved a series of nonisothermal bulk polymerizations of styrene (St) in the presence of polybutadiene (PB). The performance of three commercial initi…
Noncompatibilized and compatibilized blends of nylon 1010/PP blends having five different viscosity ratios were prepared by melt extrusion. Glycidyl methacrylate-grafted-polypro-pylene (PP-g-GMA) was used as the compatibilizer to enbance the adhesion between the two polymers and to stabilize the blend morphology. The…
It is now some 15 years since atomic clusters were first produced and investigated in laboratories. Since then, knowledge concerning clusters has enjoyed rapid and sustained growth, and cluster research has become a new branch of science.
We present a theory for the ab-initio computation of NMR chemical shifts (sigma) in condensed matter systems, using periodic boundary conditions. Our approach can be applied to periodic systems such as crystals, surfaces, or polymers and, with a super-cell technique, to non-periodic systems such as amorphous materials…
Langsames Sublimieren von 1, einem Dithiadiazolylradikal, führt zu Kristallen der β‐Phase, dieser Verbindung (Raumgruppe Fdd 2), in der die kettenförmig angeordneten Moleküle durch starke intermolekulare CN … S‐Wechselwirkungen zusammengehalten werden. Unterhalb von 36 K weist die Verbindung ein spontan entstandenes m…
One of main requirements in the design of a thermoelectric module is to determine the optimum module geometry, based upon available thermoelectric material and manufacturing technology, which meets the given application specifications. In order to assist in determining the appropriate module geometry for thermoelectri…
