As dimensions reach the deep-submicrometer level on the order of the mean-free path of electrons, increases in the resistivity of a metal corresponding to reductions of wire dimensions is a concern. To understand the resistance dependence on the dimensions, resistance of Cu versus interconnection size was analyzed. Th…

It is well known that the angular separation of non-paraxial diffracted orders from a linear grating varies drastically with incident angle. Furthermore, for oblique incident angles (conical diffraction), it is rather cumbersome both analytically and graphically to describe the number and angular position of the vario…

An accurate model for the axial divergence aberration function has been implemented within a fundamental-parameters fitting procedure for diffraction profiles from a conventional X-ray powder diffractometer. The aberration function for axial divergence is derived from the geometrical dimensions of the diffractometer i…

For the development of optimized coating‐substrate systems one needs fast and reliable methods which permit the characterization of both intrinsic corrosion resistance and porosity. In the present paper electrochemical procedures for the determination of porosity are developed and applied to the study of Ti and TiN co…

Abstract Melt rheology and mechanical properties in linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE)/low density polyethylene (LDPE), LLDPE/high density polyethylene (HDPE), and HDPE/LDPE blends were investigated. All three blends were miscible in the melt, but the LLDPE/LDPE and HDPE/LDPE blends exibiled two crystallization a…

The preparative method, characterization and magnetic susceptibility χmeasurements versus temperature T of the heavy fermion transition metal oxide LiV_{2}O_{4} are reported in detail. The intrinsic χ(T) shows a nearly T-independent behavior below ~ 30 K with a shallow broad maximum at about 16 K, whereas Curie-Weiss-…

The discovery of Ductile Iron in 1948 gave a new lease on life to the cast iron family. By combining the castability of gray iron and the toughness of steel, Ductile Iron compelled a wide recognition as an economical choice for high performance complex ferrous parts. Fifty years of research and development J.t have le…

We present a formulation of the nematic liquid crystal hydrodynamics based on the tensor order parameter, with the spatial variations of both the director and the scalar (uniaxial and biaxial) order parameters explicitly taken into account. New length and time scales are shown to arise that can be important for the sw…

It is shown theoretically that the buckling of the CuO$_{2}$ planes in certain cuprate systems can be explained in terms of an electric field across the planes which originates from different valences of atoms above and below the plane. This field results also in a strong coupling of the Raman-active out-of-phase vibr…

A general model for the axial divergence aberration function has been developed for a conventional X-ray powder diffractometer equipped with either incident-beam and/or diffracted-beam Soller slits. In this model, the axial divergence function is generated from the geometrical dimensions of the diffractometer system,…
