The structure of the ${\mathrm{TaB}}_{2}(0001)$ surface has been investigated by using impact-collision ${\mathrm{Li}}^{+}$ ion-scattering spectroscopy and three-dimensional three-atom computer simulation. We found for the first time that a graphitic boron layer is formed on the ${\mathrm{TaB}}_{2}(0001)$ surface and…
Neutron scattering experiments have been performed on the Zn-Mg-Ho icosahedral quasicrystal using powder and single-crystalline samples. In contrast to a previous Letter [Charrier et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 78, 4637 (1997)], the magnetic long-range order could not be detected in the icosahedral quasicrystal. It instead…
The electrical conductivity of and perovskite-type oxides converted by vacuum annealing into states with weak and strong compensation between donors and acceptors has been measured. It was shown that the reduced samples had both shallow and comparatively deep levels which were attributed to the neutral and singly-char…
In the present work, we report self-assembling bismuth-containing nano-electroded cells of layered perovskite ferroelectric thin films that are about 200 nm in size, that is 50 times smaller than the smallest cell reported to date. Heteroepitaxial Bi-rich Bi4Ti3O12 films were grown by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) on…
The application of strain to yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ), which can be realized by sandwiching a thin YSZ film epitaxially between layers of a material with larger lattice constants, is proposed as a means to enhance oxygen ion mobility. The possible mechanism of such an enhancement was investigated by molecular…
Liquid crystal cells containing a homogeneously aligned calamitic liquid crystalline semiconductor, 2-(4-octylphenyl)-6-dodecyloxynaphthalene, doped with dyes such as 3-(2-benzothiazolyl)7-diethylaminocoumarin, emitted a visible light when a dc bias was applied. This light emission occurred irrespective of phase, and…
We report measurements of the Seebeck coefficients of boron carbides having compositions ${\mathrm{B}}_{12+x}{\mathrm{C}}_{3\ensuremath{-}x}$, $0.15<x<1.7$, from 6 to 900 K. These Seebeck coefficients are large, $\ensuremath{\approx}200\ensuremath{\mu}\mathrm{V}/\mathrm{K}$ at 300 K, despite boron carbides havin…
We present an accurate x-ray powder diffraction study of stoichiometric solid solutions performed using an internal-standard method. The results obtained allowed us to establish for the first time that the composition dependence of the lattice parameter a ( c ) is not linear, as had been asserted, and interpreted with…
We have performed the first ab initio investigation of the boron compound BSb with zinc-blende structure, and have compared its structural and electronic properties with those of other boron compounds such as BN, BP, and BAs. The calculations are performed using a plane-wave expansion within the local density approxim…
Interactions between proximal probe tips composed of carbon nanotubules (CNTs) and diamond and graphene surfaces are investigated using molecular dynamics simulations. The simulations reveal the mechanisms of buckling, bending, slipping, and elastic recovery of the CNT tips on these surfaces and suggest that they will…
By integrating out the degrees of freedom of the small spheres in a binary mixture of large and small hard spheres, we derive an explicit effective Hamiltonian for the large spheres. Using the two-body (depletion potential) contribution to this effective Hamiltonian in simulations, we find stable fluid-solid and both…
Carbon nanotube tips are explored in fabricating oxide nanostructures on silicon surfaces with an atomic force microscope. Nanotubes can write nanostructures at speeds up to 0.5 mm/s over large surface areas, and present a solution to the long-standing tip-wear problem. Experimental and theoretical work find that nano…
We show that the first non-linear correction to the linearised Poisson-Boltzman n (or DLVO) theory of effective pair interactions between charge-stabilised, co lloidal particles near a charged wall leads to an attractive component of entro pic origin. The position and depth of the potential compare favourably with rec…
Changes in the electronic structure of multiwalled nanotubes due to the introduction of boron in the lattice are identified using scanning tunneling spectroscopy. Doped tubes are metallic with no apparent band gap, in contrast to undoped tubes with varying electronic character. Combined with ab initio calculations, we…
The effect of initial take-up speed on the properties and structure of both as-spun and drawn/heat-set poly(ethylene terephthalate) filaments was characterized through measurements of birefringence, percent crystallinity, tensile properties, high temperature shrinkage, loss tangent temperature dependence, DSC melting…

The accelerated effects of immersion in seawater at 60°C, in comparison to distilled water, on a vinyl ester resin and on its highly quartz particles filled system were studied. The studied resin was cured at room temperature for 48 h and postcured at 100°C for 12 h, and the filled system contained 93 wt % quartz part…
Photopolymerization of aniline derivatives was revealed to be induced by photoinduced electron transfer (PIET) between the tris(2,2‘-bipyridyl)ruthenium complex [Ru(bpy) 3 2+ ] and electroactive molecules. Since the initial photopolymerization reaction depended on PIET between Ru(bpy) 3 2+ and N -phenyl- p -phenylened…
Fracture toughness characterized by the J-integral method has been evaluated along injection-molded bars of isotactic polypropylene. A significant increase in toughness with decreasing distance from the specimen gate has been observed with maximum steepness of the dependence in the central part of the specimen length.…
Pressure tuning is a potentially useful tool to increase the rate of discovery of solid-state materials with improved properties. The interaction parameters that determine the properties of a given material define a phase space, which can have one or more dimensions. A single solid-state compound can be represented by…
