Abstract In static wetting on an elastic substrate, force exerted by the liquid–vapour surface tension on a solid surface deforms the substrate, producing a capillary ridge along the contact line. This paper presents a finite element formulation for predicting elastic deformation, close to the static wetting line (wit…

Molecular dynamics simulations with two different embedded-atom-method (EAM) potentials are applied to calculate the density, specific heat and self-diffusion coefficient of liquid cobalt at temperatures above and below the melting temperature. Simulation shows that Pasianot's EAM model of cobalt constructed on the ba…

Retarded plasmon eigenmodes in metallic nanoshells are theoretically analyzed, and both plasmon eigenfrequencies and plasmon decay rates are calculated. Spherelike and voidlike plasmon modes are considered and their behavior with geometrical parameters is analyzed. Special attention is given to the problem of radiativ…

A one-pot oxidation from cyclohexane to adipic acid has been developed, catalyzed by Fe−porphyrin in the presence of molecular oxygen without any additives. When the reaction temperature is 140 °C, oxygen pressure is 2.5 MPa, concentration of catalyst is 1.33 × 10 - 5 mol %, and reaction time is 8 h, the yield of adip…

An electron transport is studied in the system that consists of a scanning tunneling microscopy, single-molecule magnet metal. Because of quantum tunneling of magnetization in a single-molecule magnet, linear response conductance exhibits stepwise behavior with increasing longitudinal field, and each step is maximized…

A method is described for the rapid comparison of protein binding sites using geometric matching to detect similar three-dimensional structure. The geometric matching detects common atomic features through identification of the maximum common sub-graph or clique. These features are not necessarily evident from sequenc…

A series of stimuli-responsive conjugated copolymers containing alkylated bithiophene and electroactive azulene in the polymer backbone was synthesized by oxidative polymerization. These copolymers were formed in good yields with good solubility in common organic solvents such as chloroform, toluene, and THF. They als…

We develop a self-consistent method to study the optical response of metallic gratings with nonlinear media embedded within their subwavelength slits. An optical Kerr nonlinearity is considered. Due to the large E-fields associated with the excitation of the transmission resonances appearing in this type of structures…

A new approach to the contact to coated elastic materials is presented. A relatively simple numerical algorithm based on an exact integral formulation of the elastic contact of an axisymmetric indenter to a coated substrate is detailed. It provides contact force and penetration as a function of the contact radius. Com…

Potassium o-nitrophenolate (1) was reacted with various lanthanide trichlorides under different reaction conditions. By using the smaller lanthanides and working under rigorous exclusion of air, infinite chains of composition [(THF)4[K(o-O2N-C6H4-O)4Ln]4]n (Ln = Y (2a), Er (2b), Lu (2c)) were obtained. Using the same…

We present a theoretical study of the dynamics of a tip scanning a graphite surface as a function of the applied load. From the analysis of the lateral forces, we extract the friction force and the corrugation of the effective tip-surface interaction potential. We find both the friction force and potential amplitude t…

Biological antifreezes protect cold-water organisms from freezing. An example are the antifreeze proteins (AFPs) that attach to the surface of ice crystals and arrest growth. The mechanism for growth arrest has not been heretofore understood in a quantitative way. We present a complete theory based on a kinetic model.…

We report measurements of magnetic switching and steady-state magnetic precession driven by spin-polarized currents in nanoscale magnetic tunnel junctions with low-resistance, < 5 Ohm-micron-squared, barriers. The current densities required for magnetic switching are similar to values for all-metallic spin-valve devic…

We present creep experiments on fiber composite materials. Recorded strain rates and acoustic emission (AE) rates exhibit both a power law relaxation in the primary creep regime and a power-law acceleration before global failure. In particular, we observe time-to-failure power laws in the tertiary regime for acoustic…
