Resonant grating waveguide structures were used to fabricate narrow-bandwidth optical filters. Azopolymer films were deposited on top of slab waveguides, and surface relief gratings were optically inscribed on them to be used as couplers. This technique is a simple one-step process and produces efficient gratings with…
The in-plane correlation lengths and magnetic disorder of magnetic domains in a transition metal multilayer have been studied using neutron scattering techniques. A new theoretical framework is presented connecting the observed scattering to the in-plane correlation length and the dispersion of the local magnetization…
We calculate non-perturbatively the inelastic effects on the conductance through a conjugated molecular wire-metal heterojunction, including realistic electron-phonon coupling. We show that at sub-band-gap energies the current is dominated by quantum coherent transport of virtual polarons through the molecule. In this…
Different ways to define and to calculate the degree of spin polarization in a ferromagnet are discussed, particularly with respect to spin-polarized tunneling and Andreev reflection at the boundary between a superconductor and ferromagnet. As an example, the degrees of spin polarization for different experiments in F…
The induction of an s-wave component in a d-wave superconductor is considered. Near the {110}-oriented edges of such a sample, the induced s-wave order parameter together with d-wave component forms a complex combination d+e^{iϕ} s, which breaks the time reversal symmetry (BTRS) of the pairing state. As a result, the…
In this work we investigate the effect of gamma and ultraviolet radiations on the thermoluminescence of Brazilian calcite. The irradiated samples presented three TL peaks at 150, 245 and 320^oC (at a linear heating rate of 1.8^oC/s), with a main emission band centered at 615nm due to the ^4G \to ^6S transition of the…
The growing interest in giant magnetostrictive materials for generation of strains in smart structure systems motivates the development of increasingly accurate performance prediction and optimization tools. We propose a model for the strains generated by magnetostrictive materials in response to applied magnetic fiel…
Solid-state NMR has been used to study the local coordination environments of the protons and alkali metal cations in hydrated alkali metal intercalation compounds of MoS 2, A x (H 2 O) y MoS 2 (A = Li, Na, K, Cs). The dynamic behavior of the water molecules, which are coordinated to the intercalated A + cations, is c…
The output force-strain relationship typical of the performance of Terfenol-D transducers under varied operating conditions is examined to study transducer blocked force characteristics. The design and construction of a transducer for testing under controlled thermal, magnetic and mechanical load conditions are descri…
The objective of this paper is to determine the strength reduction due to the embedment of a piezoelectric ceramic transducer in a composite. The composite was made from carbon/epoxy prepreg with a cross-ply lay-up. The transducer was embedded in the mid-plane of the composite material. The specimens were tested in te…
A series of organo-soluble hairy-rod polyimides was recently synthesized from 3,3′,4,4′-biphenyltetracarboxylic dianhydride (BPDA) and di[n-alkyl]-4,4′-diamino-6,6′-dibromo-2,2′-biphenyldicarboxylate with side chains of varying lengths (the numbers of methylene units), BACBP(n). Dynamic mechanical (DM) results reveal…
New ethanediyl-bridged unsymmetrical mono- and heterometallated dimers of 2,3,7,8,12,13,17,18-octaethyl-21H,23H-porphyrin (H2oep) containing transition-metal ions (Mn and Fe) were synthesized by a facile stepwise metallation/demetallation process under mild conditions. The novel metallation strategy initially involved…
The concentration effects on Cu uptake into the structures and reactivity of manganese oxide octahedral molecular sieves (OMS) were investigated. Two sets of 3 × 3-tunnel structure OMS designated as OMS-1 were synthesized by hydrothermal treatment at 160 °C for 48 h. The Cu−OMS-1 series of materials (tunnel substitute…
Gold nanocrystal superlattices were synthesized in colloidal form by ligating the nanocrystal surface with dodecanethiol ligand. Formation and dissolution of the superlattices in the colloid were studied by UV−vis spectroscopy and dynamic light scattering. The phase boundary between nanocrystals and their superlattice…
We analyse high-field current fluctuations in metallic systems by direct mapping of the Fermi-liquid correlations to the semiclassical nonequilibrium state. We give three applications. First, for bulk conductors, we show that there is a unique nonequilibrium analogue to the fluctuation-dissipation theorem for thermal…
We discuss pattern formation in three-dimensional gels with cylindrical shapes during their shrinking such as volume phase transition. A Ginzburg–Landau theory is given for the pattern formation in shrinking gels. A characteristic feature in shrinking gels is the dense layer formed around the gel surface in the early…
Two surfaces that come in close contact in a solution with macromolecules present experience an attractive force caused by the osmotic pressure. We present a measurement of this effect by using a micrometer-sized sphere bound to a flat plate through a single molecular attachment in an albumin-containing solution. We o…
The possibilities offered by the modulated differential scanning calorimetry technique to investigate the glass transition are analyzed and discussed on Maltitol. The technique provides specific tools to follow the structural relaxation in the frequency domain above Tg and in the time domain below Tg. Evidence is obta…
Total energy minimization is applied to semiempirical tight-binding CdSe nanocrystal models with diameter up to 31 Å. The crystallites have wurtzite lattice structure and ligand-terminated surfaces. It is found that the qualitative features of the surface relaxation in nanocrystals and at bulk surfaces are similar. Wh…
A micropolar theory has been used to calculate the stress field generated by a fundamental boundary–value problem in planar elasticity; namely, a normal line force acting on the surface of a honeycomb half–space. In this two-dimensional analysis the microstructure of the honeycomb results in couple stresses and micror…
