A new ray-based method is extended to include the modeling of optical interfaces. The essential idea is that the wave field and its derivatives are always expressed as a superposition of ray contributions of flexible width. Interfaces can be analyzed in this way by introducing a family of surfaces that smoothly connec…
Abstract A bis(ether amine) III‐A containing a cyclohexane cardo group, 1,1‐bis[4‐(4‐aminophenoxy)phenyl]cyclohexane, was synthesized and used as a monomer to prepare polyimides VI‐A with six commercial dianhydrides via three different procedures. The intermediate poly(amic acid)s had inherent viscosities of 0.83–1.69…
Three series of fluorinated bistolane-type liquid crystals have been synthesized. Their mesomorphic properties were studied by optical polarizing microscopy and DSC. These compounds exhibit only a broad nematic phase with high clearing points, wide phase transition temperatures and low melting points. The effects of l…
A new technique called dynamic measurement access (DMA) is presented in this article which was developed for relatively easy, fast, and accurate thermal conductivity measurements. Utilizing a commercial cryocooler adapted for this experiment, the DMA technique allows the measurement of typically 400 data points in a t…
In this paper we want to report the results obtained in our study of the cold-crystallization kinetics of PPS samples quenched from the melt state and analyzed in the crystallization temperature range 90–112°C. Such a wide range was explored by employing three different experimental techniques: the first one was the u…
An electrodynamic model that describes the dispersion of magnetostatic surface waves in ferrite/superconductor structures is suggested. On its basis, a new approach to determining the microwave sheet resistance R S of superconducting films in a magnetic field is elaborated. The values calculated (R S =0.20–0.96 mΩ) ag…
This paper uses the classical theories of liquid crystal physics to formulate the Young-Laplace equation of capillary hydrostatics for interfaces between viscous isotropic (I) fluids and nematic liquid crystals (NLC's). The equation provides an expression of pressure jumps across interfaces and determines the geometry…
To analyze the wire-wrapped fast breeder reactor (FBR) fuel pin bundle deformation under bundle-duct interaction (BDI) conditions, the Japan Nuclear Cycle Development Institute has developed the BAMBOO computer code. A three-dimensional beam element model is used in this code to calculate fuel pin bowing and cladding…
Liquid-crystalline 2,5-diarylethynyl-4-methylthiazole derivatives with bent-rod structures were prepared by a palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction. The 2,5-diarylethynyl-4-methylthiazole derivatives prepared in the present study exhibit only the nematic phase.
The capillary force, arising from the curvature of the liquid meniscus between neighbouring particles in liquid phase sintering, provides a sintering driving force. The capillary force is orientated isotropically and provides a compressive stress normal to the neck section between neighbouring solid particles. During…
So far, magnetic polarons in antiferromagnetic semiconductors (ferrons) were assumed to arise due to the charge carrier self-trapping by a ferromagnetic or canted antiferromagnetic region. If the ferron size is not very large, they should have much more complicated structure: the magnetically deformed region consists…
New tribranched thermotropic liquid crystal compounds were synthesized and their liquid crystalline properties studied by differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction and polarizing optical microscopy. The compounds are the bis-{10-[4-(4-alkylphenyliminomethynyl)phenoxy]decyl} 2-[6-(cholesteryloxy)hexyl]malona…
Abstract The electronic structure of ZnSb2O6 is calculated by using the FLAPW method and the DV-Xα method. The valence band with the width of ca. 10.5 eV is roughly classified into the two bands, where O 2p orbitals are dominant and hybridize with Zn 3d and Sb 5s orbitals. On the other hand, the lower conduction band…
Older solid dielectric cables are now approaching the end of their life and failing. Consequently there has been a sustained effort for the development of techniques to assess the remaining life of in-service cables for the purpose of establishing replacement criteria. Because of the generally accepted belief that the…
ZnO thin films coated on plastic materials were investigated for their use in the protection against solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Using diethylzinc (DEZ) as the organic source material, we attempted to deposit ZnO thin films on polycarbonate (PC) resin at room temperature by the cathode deposition technique of th…
Soret-excited resonance Raman (RR) spectra are reported for some 40 nonplanar metalloporphyrin complexes. These include (i) copper β-octabromo-meso-tetra(para-X-phenyl)porphyrins, Cu [ Br 8 T (p- X - P ) P ] ( X = CH 3 , H , F , CF 3 , NO 2 ); (ii) copper β-octachloro-meso-tetra(para-X-phenyl)porphyrins, Cu [ Cl 8 T (…
We have analyzed the implications of [Mg] VI =>[Fe 2+ ] VI isomorphous substitution in the periclase structure (B1) which forms, under lithospheric P, T conditions, only very limited solid solutions with wustite. The crystallographic study (by single crystal X-ray structure refinements and microprobe analysis) support…
The properties of three polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) membranes filled with crystalline zeolites and with amorphous SiO2, respectively, before and after sorption of organic solvents were studied by DSC. The PDMS crystallinity of the membranes with sorbed solvents is affected by both the solvent and the filler natures. F…
The effect that PbZrO 3 (PZ) addition to (Na 1/2 Bi 1/2 )TiO 3 (NBT) has on crystal structure, domain state, ferroelectric property and cation ordering was investigated. With increasing PZ concentration, lattice distortion of NBT decreased and the phase transition behavior became similar to that of relaxor ferroelectr…
Field tests on stainless steels have been carried out at five waste water treatment plants for one year. Three grades of stainless steel, i.e. AISI 304 (UNS S30400), AISI 316 (UNS S31600), and duplex 2205 (UNS S31803) were tested in the final settling tank in the plants. The time dependence of the open circuit potenti…
