Single phase BiFe1−xTixO3 (BFTO) ceramics with varying x up to 0.35 were prepared by a rapid liquid phase sintering method to study the influence of Ti doping on their crystal structure, morphology, and magnetic behavior. Rhombohedral to orthorhombic phase was observed above x⩾0.33. The BFTO ceramics were highly resis…

The influence of systematic perturbation of input interaction parameters on thermodynamic equilibrium properties is studied employing dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) simulations. The values of both the excess pressure and the surface tension are found to be very sensitive to the values of the soft repulsion parame…

ZnO homojunction light-emitting diodes (LEDs), comprised of N–Al codoped p-type ZnO and Al-doped n-type ZnO layers, were fabricated on Si substrates with homobuffer layers. The current-voltage measurements showed typical diode characteristic with a threshold voltage of about 3.3V. The electroluminescence (EL) bands at…

The low-energy electronic states of PbSe quantum dots are investigated using photoluminescence spectroscopies. Size-selective photoluminescence measurements produce unexpectedly broad $(\ensuremath{\sim}50\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{meV})$ emission lines. In addition, significant anti-Stokes luminescence is obs…

BACKGROUND: Optimal cell sources and scaffold-cell interactions remain unanswered questions for tissue engineering of heart valves. We assessed the effect of different protein precoatings on a single scaffold type (elastomeric poly (glycerol sebacate)) with a single cell source (endothelial progenitor cells). METHODS…

We perform extensive simulations of a two-dimensional Lennard-Jones glass subjected to quasistatic shear deformation at T=0. We analyze the distribution of nonaffine displacements in terms of contributions of plastic, irreversible events, and elastic, reversible motions. From this, we extract information about correla…

The phase transitions of superlattices into single- and multidomain states were studied using a mesoscale phase-field model incorporating structural inhomogeneity, micromechanics, and electrostatics. While the predictions of transition temperatures of BaTiO3∕SrTiO3 superlattices into multidomains show remarkably good,…

Strain-induced evolution of ultrafine grains in pure copper was studied in multidirectional forging (MDF) at 195 K. The stress–strain behaviour was characterized by rapid strain hardening during early processing and the rate of strain hardening gradually decreased with straining, leading to an apparent steady-state fl…

By using the van't Hoff and Gibbs equations the thermodynamic functions free energy, enthalpy, and entropy of solution, mixing, and solvation of naproxen (NAP) in ethanol (EtOH) + water (W) cosolvent mixtures, were evaluated from solubility data determined at several temperatures. The solubility was greater in pure et…

Thermal conduction in GeSbTe films strongly influences the writing energy and time for phase change memory (PCM) technology. This study measures the thermal conductivity of Ge2Sb2Te5 between 25 and 340°C for layers with thicknesses near 60, 120, and 350nm. A strong thickness dependence of the thermal conductivity is a…

BACKGROUND: The Mollusca constitute one of the most morphologically and ecologically diverse metazoan phyla, occupying a wide range of marine, terrestrial and freshwater habitats. The evolutionary success of the molluscs can in part be attributed to the evolvability of the external shell. Typically, the shell first fo…
