We describe and characterize a nanostructured metallic photonic crystal metamaterial which is magnetically active in the near-infrared region of the spectrum. The periodic array of modified split-ring resonator structures is numerically demonstrated to have a negative effective permeability at telecommunications wavel…
Unsymmetrical bolaamphiphiles, omega- [N-beta-D-glucopyranosylcarbamoyl] alkanoic acids, with even-numbered oligomethylene chains (12, 14, 16, 18, and 20 carbons) self-assembled in water to form lipid nano- and microtubes. The tubular assemblies were separated by centrifugation and examined by transmission electron mi…
The $γ-α$ transition in Ce$_{0.8}$La$_{0.1}$Th$_{0.1}$ is measured as a function of applied magnetic field using both resistivity and magnetization. The $γ- α$ transition temperature decreases with increasing magnetic field, reaching zero temperature at around 56 T. The magnetic-field dependence of the transition temp…
We study superfluid--solid zero-temperature transitions in two-dimensional lattice boson/spin models by Worm-Algorithm Monte Carlo simulations. We observe that such transitions are typically first-order with the exception of special high-symmetry points which require fine tuning in the Hamiltonian parameter space. We…
The development of a position control system for a shape memory alloy (SMA) wire actuator using an electrical resistance feedback is presented in this paper. A novel control scheme is implemented to eliminate the need for a position sensor to achieve stable and accurate positioning by utilizing the actuator's electric…
Studies of n-CdZnTe crystals (photoluminescence, extrinsic photoconductivity, Hall effect, time-of-flight technique) have shown that the excess concentration of vacancies of cadmium (Vcd) is the main reason of low, as a rule, values of product of mobility to life time of holes (mhth). The reduction of the concentratio…
We study the magnetic properties of metallic GaMnAs. We calculate the effective RKKY interaction between Mn spins using several realistic models for the valence band structure of GaAs. We also study the effect of positional disorder of the Mn on the magnetic properties. We find that the interaction between two Mn spin…
Devising a computational tool that assesses the thermodynamic stability of materials is among the most important steps required to build a ``virtual laboratory'', where materials could be designed from first-principles without relying on experimental input. Although the formalism that allows the calculation of solid s…
Araneoid spiders use specialized abdominal glands to produce up to seven different protein-based silks/glues that have diverse physical properties. The fibroin sequences that encode aciniform fibers (wrapping silk) and the mechanical properties of these fibers have not been characterized previously. To gain a better u…
Novel one-component phosphors, Cd 1 - x Dy x SiO 3, which emit white color long-lasting phosphorescence upon UV light excitation, are prepared by the conventional high-temperature solid-state method and their luminescent properties are systematically investigated in this paper. XRD, photoluminescence, long-lasting pho…
Abstract The mechanical properties of multiwall carbon nanotube (MWNT)/poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) nanocomposites were studied as a function of nanotube orientation, length, concentration, and type. Orientation and dispersion were assessed by electron microscopy. A processing parameter study revealed the robust n…
A superhydrophobic ZnO thin film was fabricated by the Au-catalyzed chemical vapor deposition method. The surface of the film exhibits hierarchical structure with nanostructures on sub-microstructures. The water contact angle (CA) was 164.3 degrees, turning into a superhydrophilic one (CA < 5 degrees) after UV illumin…
Abstract A detailed description of the displacive transformation mode of the formation of plate-like τ-phase in MnAl (containing a small amount of carbon) is given. The plate-like τ-phase forms in a stepwise mode from the ɛ-phase. Crystallographic correspondence is transmitted from the ɛ- to the τ-phase during the who…
Abstract The size distributions and volume fractions of Ni 4 Ti 3 precipitates in Ni-rich Ni –Ti shape memory alloys affect their mechanical and functional properties. In the present work precipitate sizes and volume fractions were measured after various thermo-mechanical treatments using transmission electron microsc…

This paper presents the results of two-dimensional studies on a range of different catalyst substrates warmed by exhaust from a four-cylinder gasoline engine. Engine speeds investigated were 2000 and 3000 r/min, corresponding to frequencies of 67 and 100 Hz. Of the nine substrates investigated, four were washcoated bu…
To investigate the effect of D-ferrite on the hot workability and surface defect of STS 304 billets containing 3 wt. % Cu, microstructure observations and high temperature mechanical properties test were carried out for the specimens extracted mainly from raw or oxidized billets. It was found that the total <TEX>$\del…
Simultaneous measurements of remote electron beam induced current (REBIC) and orientation imaging microscopy (OIM) in a scanning electron microscope (SEM) have been applied to a polycrystalline (Ba 0.6 Sr 0.4 )TiO 3 with a positive temperature coefficient of resistivity (PTCR) to elucidate a grain‐boundary character d…
Diffraction of an obliquely incident TE-polarized Gaussian beams by N equally spaced slits (finite grating) with conducting substrate is treated. The substrate can be either vacuum or conductor. The diffracted and scattered patterns, the transmission and reflection coefficients, and the normally diffracted energy are…
The second generation liposomal anticancer drug is characterized by long-circulating half-life, which leads to passive tumor targeting and improved antitumor activity. Its development is based mainly on the surface coating of polymers and thus reducing its clearance from reticuloendothelial system. Is it possible to f…
