The tensile creep behavior of an (Al 2 O 3 ‐SiC) nanocomposite that contains 5 vol% of 0.15 μm SiC particles is examined in air under constant‐load conditions. For a stress level of 100 MPa and in the temperature range of 1200°–1300°C, the SiC reduces the creep rate of Al2O3 by 2–3 orders of magnitude. In contrast to…

The shape and optical properties of Au nanoparticles electrochemically deposited within the pores of porous alumina membranes have been studied as a function of the temperature to which the Au/alumina composite was heated. Low aspect ratio Au nanoparticles begin as thin skinned particles, essentially flakes of Au with…

We review the mechanism of integrated circuit failure known as “electromigration.” Electromigration is a physical wearout process that operates primarily in the on-chip interconnections of an integrated circuit. It is caused by the currents that run through those interconnections. The first part of the review introduc…

A Knudsen cell mass spectrometric technique was used to study both the neutral and charged species that are in equilibrium in saturated vapor over lutetium trichloride. It was found that in the temperature range between between 885 and 1100 K the vapor is comprised of molecular (LuCl3), and ionic Cl−(LuCl3)n clusters…

Deuterium solid-state quadrupole-echo NMR techniques were used to probe the dynamics of bulk and silica-adsorbed methyl-labeled poly(methyl acrylate)- d 3 (PMA- d 3 ). For bulk PMA- d 3, collapse of the 2 H NMR powder pattern indicated a sudden increase in segmental motion at about 50 °C. This temperature was 40 °C ab…

The formalism for tetraatomic reactive scattering using row-orthonormal hyperspherical coordinates is presented. The transformation properties of these coordinates under kinematic rotations and symmetry operations are derived, as are the corresponding Hamiltonian and volume element. Each of the nine operators which co…

The sdh operon of Sulfolobus acidocaldarius DSM 639 is composed of four genes coding for the 63.1-kDa flavoprotein (SdhA), the 36.5-kDa iron-sulfur protein (SdhB), and the 32.1-kDa SdhC and 14.1-kDa SdhD subunits. The four structural genes of the sdhABCD operon are transcribed into one polycistronic mRNA of 4.2 kb, an…

A series of luminescent tetranuclear copper(I) and silver(I) chalcogenide complexes have been synthesized and characterized. The photophysical and photochemical properties of these complexes have also been investigated. The long-lived excited state of these luminescent clusters is believed to bear a high parentage of…

Abstract The size of glass transition cooperativity for 11 polymers and glycerol is determined from heat capacity spectroscopy (HCS) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) by using a calorimetric fluctuation formula. The data cover in total the 0.25 ≤ x ≤ 0.95 part of the reduced temperature interval between the…

We propose a method based on high-resolution electron-energy-loss spectroscopy to measure in situ the neutral fragmentation products arising from the impact of low energy electrons on thin solid films at low temperature. We show more particularly that the detection of electronic states from a dissociation product is a…

Polymerization and segregation behavior of n -decyl acrylate in a smectic liquid crystal were characterized. The polymerization rate increased dramatically as the temperature was decreased and the order of the liquid crystalline media increased. To ascertain the kinetic mechanisms behind this behavior, the kinetic con…
