The magnetoresistance (MR) of Ni2Mn1+xSn1−x (0.40≤x≤0.52) is studied as functions of temperature and magnetic field in austenitic and martensitic phases. The maximum MR obtained is −36% (x=0.4) at 170 K with 7 T magnetic field during martensitic transition. The MR in the martensitic phase (maximum −2.2%) is less than…

Abstract A postmodification method for polyurea microcapsule (PUMC) surfaces using functional polyelectrolytes is reported in this article. Fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) was used to probe the chemistry on PUMC surface and label nucleophilic groups on the surface, in particular amines. As well, a fluorescently labe…

Highly crystalline quality c-axis epitaxial nLaFeO3–Bi4Ti3O12 (n=0.5,1.0,1.5) thin films were deposited on SrTiO3 (001) substrates by pulsed laser deposition. The x-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy characterizations confirm that there are designed even-odd number perovskite-block structures in n=0.…

Molecular dynamics (MD) calculations were used to examine shock wave propagation along [100], [111], and [110] directions in aluminum single crystals. Four different embedded-atom method (EAM) potentials were used to obtain wave profiles in ideal (defect-free) crystals shocked to peak longitudinal stresses approaching…

A method is reported to generate mesoporous titania thin films with large pores and large surface areas by adding poly(propylene glycol), PPG, to the coating sol of films prepared by templating with Pluronic surfactant P123. Because P123 has an average structure (PEO) 20 (PPO) 70 (PEO) 20 where PEO is a poly(ethylene…

Ferrimagnetic Mn3−xCoxGa compounds have been investigated by magnetic circular dichroism in x-ray absorption (XMCD). Compounds with x>0.5 crystallize in the CuHg2Ti structure. A tetragonal distortion of the cubic structure occurs for x≤0.5. For the cubic phase, magnetometry reveals a linearly increasing magneti…

Ultrafast dynamics of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) was investigated at cleaved graphite surfaces bearing deposited gold (Au) nanostructures (∼10 nm in diameter) by using sensitive pump-probe reflectivity spectroscopy with ultrashort (7.5 fs) laser pulses. We observed enhancement of phonon amplitudes (C═C s…

Achieving a high growth rate is paramount for making large-area transparent conducting oxide coatings at a low cost. Unfortunately, the quality of thin films grown by most techniques degrades as the growth rate increases. Filtered dc cathodic arc is a lesser known technique which produces a stream of highly ionized pl…

Exchange of water molecules between the frequency-shifted inner-sphere of a paramagnetic lanthanide ion and aqueous solvent can shorten the T(2) of bulk water protons. The magnitude of the line-broadening T(2) exchange (T(2exch)) is determined by the lanthanide concentration, the chemical shift of the exchanging water…

In this work, we investigated the phase transformation of γ-Al 2 O 3 to θ-Al 2 O 3 by ethanol TPD and XRD. Ethanol TPD showed remarkable sensitivity toward the surface structures of the aluminas studied. Maximum desorption rates for the primary product of ethanol adsorption, ethylene, were observed at 225, 245, and 32…

We report on epitaxial graphene on silicon carbide at high current densities. We observe two distinguished regimes, and a final breakdown. First for low current densities the conductance is enhanced due to desorption of adsorbates. Second with increasing bias the sample locally starts to glow and is strongly heated. T…

Injection-molded semicrystalline polymer parts generally exhibited a so-called skin-core structure basically as a result of the large gradients of temperature, shear rate, stress, and pressure fields created by the boundary conditions of injection molding. Suppression of the skin-core structure is a long-term practica…
