A series of experimental trials has been conducted at University of Sheffield, UK to assess the effect of density and moisture content of Leighton Buzzard sand on the impulse applied to a target when exposed to loading from the detonation of a shallow-buried charge. Sand samples have been prepared in stiff cylindrical…
Fusion has the potential for delivering safe, clean, low carbon power; however, significant scientific and engineering hurdles must first be overcome. One such hurdle is the design of materials that will withstand the harsh conditions. The materials which line the vessel walls will experience exceptionally high heat a…
Comparing fabrics on the basis of properties determined in the laboratory can provide information valuable to manufacturers and users of fabrics and garments, although small changes to test methods seem to have the potential to yield data which is more relevant. Thermal resistance is the focus of a small experiment hi…
Energy transport control in low dimensional nanoscale systems has attracted much attention in recent years. In this paper, we investigate the energy transport properties of the Frenkel-Kontorova lattice subject to a periodic driving force, in particular, the resonance behavior of the energy current by varying the exte…
Changing the core heteroatoms in porphycenic macrocycles can have a dramatic effect on the two-photon absorption properties via tuning of resonance enhancement between Q-band and Soret-band states.
We have investigated the possibility of decorating, using a bottom-up strategy, patchy particles in such a way that they self-assemble in (two-dimensional) Archimedean tilings. Except for the trihexagonal tiling, we have identified conditions under which this is indeed possible. The more compact tilings, i.e., the elo…
We report the observation of non-photochemical laser-induced nucleation (NPLIN) of sodium chlorate from its melt using nanosecond pulses of light at 1064 nm. The fraction of samples that nucleate is shown to depend linearly on the peak power density of the laser pulses. Remarkably, we observe that most samples are nuc…
The new germanium selenophosphates K(4)Ge(4-x)P(x)Se(12) (1) and Rb(6)Ge(2)P(2)Se(14) (2) are reported. The former is a one-dimensional metastable compound synthesized using the polychalcogenide flux method that crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/c with lattice parameters a = 6.7388(7) Å, b = 13.489(1) Å…
Bagasse was modified with sodium hydroxide and silane, and the obtained three polymer composite types, namely natural fiber, sugarcane bagasse, and plaster were procured by the two-roll mill method. The characterization of the modified sugarcane bagasse was achieved with attenuated total reflection-Fourier transform i…
The assembly and characterization of well-defined, end-tethered poly( p -phenylene) (PPP) brushes having high molecular weight, low polydispersity and high 1,4-stereoregularity are presented. The PPP brushes are formed using a precursor route that relies on either self-assembly or spin coating of high molecular weight…
Numerical inversion of effective medium equations used in ellipsometry data analysis are carried out, without using any parameterized dispersion formula, in order to investigate on the influence of size distribution (SD) on the dielectric properties of silicon quantum dots (Si QDs) within a silica matrix over the ener…
Abstract We have studied the magnetoelectric coupling in ZnO films deposited on Metglas substrates. Highly c ‐axis oriented ZnO films were successfully deposited using pulsed laser deposition at a low temperature of 300 °C. High quality films with low surface roughness of 2.82 nm and thicknesses of about 2 μm were obt…
We study the epitaxial GaAs-AlAs interface of wide gap materials by full-potential density functional theory. AlAs thin films on a GaAs substrate and GaAs thin films on an AlAs substrate show different trends for the electronic band gap with increasing film thickness. In both cases, we find an insulating state at the…
Modular structures of space‐filling building blocks having dimension orders of magnitude larger (≈1000 μm) than the particle size (0.1–10 μm) may offer a high potential for near net shape manufacturing as well as toughening of brittle ceramic materials. We demonstrate vibration assisted periodic pattern formation of a…
We investigate epitaxial Pr0.65(Ca0.7Sr0.3)0.35MnO3 thin film grown on orthorhombic (110) NdGaO3 substrate which breaks the lattice symmetry and affects the phase separated ground state. As a result of the anisotropic substrate strain, giant in-plane magnetic and magnetotransport anisotropy are observed, which is rela…
A new phase-change RAM (PCRAM) model is proposed in this paper for multi-level-cell (MLC) applications. The proposed model has been verified to reproduce the electrical behaviors well in various partial states. Moreover, it has been shown that the programming transient behaviors with various quenching times could be e…
We investigate thermally induced currents in a zigzag graphene nanoribbon (ZGNR) heterostructure, consisting of hydrogen-terminated ZGNR (ZGNR-H) and oxygen-terminated ZGNR (ZGNR-O), under different electronic and magnetic states. Compared to a pure ZGNR-H system, the heterostructure displays a considerably larger the…
Abstract The crystallization enthalpy of pure amorphous silicon (a‐Si) and hydrogenated a‐Si was measured by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) for a large set of materials deposited from the vapour phase by different techniques. Although the values cover a wide range (200–480 J/g), the minimum value is common to…
Scaffolds based on a novel functionalized polyester, pHMGCL, are electrospun and characterized morphologically and physically. In vitro degradation studies of pHMGCL films show considerable mass loss and molecular weight reduction within 70 weeks. Scaffolds composed of fibers with uniform diameter (≈ 900 nm) and with…
Molecular ions in the form of "pseudo-atoms" are common structural motifs in chemistry, with properties that are transferrable between different compounds. We have determined one such property--the electronegativity--for the "pseudo-alkali metal" ammonium (NH(4)), and evaluated its reliability as a descriptor versus t…
