Abstract Poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) was electrospun into fibrous membranes from its solutions in a mixture of N , N ‐dimethylformamide (DMF) and acetone. The electrospun PVDF membranes were viewed under a scanning electron microscope. Effects of acetone amount, polymer concentration, and capillary‐collector dist…
Abstract Freely suspended nanocomposite layer‐by‐layer (LbL) nanomembranes composed of a central layer of gold nanoparticles sandwiched between polyelectrolyte multilayers are fabricated via spin‐assisted LbL assembly. The diameter of the circular membranes is varied from 150 to 600 μm and the thickness is kept within…
We study the transport of spin polarized electrons in n-GaAs using spatially resolved continuous wave Faraday rotation. From the measured steady state distribution, we determine spin relaxation times under drift conditions and, in the presence of strain, the induced spin splitting from the observed spin precession. Co…
We present angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) data on undoped La2CuO4, indicating polaronic coupling between bosons and charge carriers. Using a shell model, we calculate the electron-phonon coupling and find that it is strong enough to give polarons. We develop an efficient method for calculating ARPES…
Angle resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES) on azimuthally disordered graphite demonstrates that sharp quasiparticle dispersions along the radial direction can coexist with a complete lack of dispersion along the azimuthal direction. This paradoxical coexistence can be explained in terms of van Hove singularitie…
This paper discusses the possibility of identifying the shear and structure relaxation kernels in glassy materials by means of a single, simple and non-intrusive experiment. The material should be thermorheologically simple and the kernels expressed in the form of Prony series. The experiment considered consists in me…
We report the parameter-free, density functional theory calculations of interatomic exchange interactions and Curie temperatures of half-metallic ferrimagnetic full Heusler alloys Mn2VZ (Z=Al, Ge). To calculate the interatomic exchange interactions we employ the frozen-magnon approach. The Curie temperatures are calcu…
Exchange biased Ni/ FeF2 films have been investigated using vector coil vibrating sample magnetometry as a function of the cooling field strength H_FC. In films with epitaxial FeF2, a loop bifurcation develops with increasing H_FC as it divides into two sub-loops shifted oppositely from zero field by the same amount.…
When high quality bismuth or graphite crystals are placed in a magnetic field directed along the c axis (trigonal axis for bismuth) and the temperature is lowered, the resistance increases as it does in an insulator but then saturates. We show that the combination of unusual features specific to semimetals, i.e., low…
The local environments and short-range ordering of LiNi(0.5)Mn(0.5)O(2), a potential Li-ion battery positive electrode material, were investigated by using a combination of X-ray and neutron diffraction and isotopic substitution (NDIS) techniques, (6)Li Magic Angle Spinning (MAS) NMR spectroscopy, and for the first ti…
We present an analysis of the water molecules immobilized at the protein-protein interfaces of 115 homodimeric proteins and 46 protein-protein complexes, and compare them with 173 large crystal packing interfaces representing nonspecific interactions. With an average of 15 waters per 1000 A2 of interface area, the cry…
The optical properties of metallic nanoshell dimers are investigated using the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method. We discuss issues of numerical convergence specific for the dimer system. We present results for both homodimers and heterodimers. The results show that retardation effects must be taken into acc…
Abstract Nanocrystalline Ln 3+ ‐doped YF 3 phosphors have been synthesized via a facile sonochemistry‐assisted hydrothermal route. YF 3 nanoparticles are demonstrated to be a good host material for different lanthanides. Varying the dopants leads to different optical properties. In particular, the feasibility of induc…
Within the framework of the two-sublattice Mitsui model, taking into account the piezoelectric interaction with the shear strain ${\ensuremath{\epsilon}}_{4}$, a dynamic dielectric response of Rochelle salt is considered. Experimentally observed phenomena of crystal clamping by high-frequency electric field, piezoelec…
Ferroelectric domain structure and evolution in (110)-cut relaxor ferroelectric (PbMg1∕3Nb2∕3O3)0.75(PbTiO3)0.25 (PMN-25PT) single crystal have been studied by means of temperature-dependent piezoresponse force microscopy. It revealed that, during heating, the as-grown PMN-25PT single crystal exhibits a transition fro…
The residual thermal stress in multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) with varying number of layers was analyzed using finite element analysis, in order to find the links among the dielectric constant, the number of layers, and the stress state. In the active region of the MLCC, the in-plane stresses in a ceramic layer…
The effects of crystal packing on protein loop structures are examined by (1) a comparison of loops in proteins that have been crystallized in alternate packing arrangements, and (2) theoretical prediction of loops both with and without the inclusion of the crystal environment. Results show that in a minority of cases…
The microstructure of the Si nanocrystals (Si nc) has been investigated using conventional and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). For most of the nanocrystals $(>90%)$ larger than 10 nm, HRTEM observations show that they are formed by the coalescence of smaller ones. Two kinds of coalescence,…
By exploiting the shape-memory effect in NiTi, it is demonstrated for the first time that a metallic material can be used for rewriteable, thermomechanical data storage. Data are written as surface indentations by a nanoscale mechanical probe, read by a transducer, and erased by heating. A data array with a storage de…
Abstract In this study, a novel reactive blending process was developed for producing poly(vinyl chloride)/thermoplastic polyurethane (PVC/TPU) blends. An alternative to melt or solution blending, the advantages to such a blending technique are fewer processing steps and less cost, no solvent removal, reduced PVC degr…
