In this paper, we use the cell dynamics method to study the dynamics of phase transformation when three phases exist. The system we study is a two-dimensional system. The system is able to achieve three phases coexistence, which for simplicity we call crystal, liquid and vapor phases. We focus our study on the case wh…

The effects of Cu-doping on the structural, magnetic, and transport properties of La0.7Sr0.3Mn1−xCuxO3(0⩽x⩽0.20) have been studied using neutron diffraction, magnetization, and magnetoresistance (MR) measurements. All samples show the rhombohedral structure with the R3¯c space-group from 10 K to room temperature (RT).…

Pd(111) has recently been shown to exhibit a propensity to form a subnanometer thin surface oxide film already well before a full monolayer coverage of adsorbed O atoms is reached on the surface. Aiming at an atomic-scale understanding of this finding, we study the initial oxygen incorporation into the Pd(111) surface…

We develop a multi-valley effective mass theory for substitutional donors in silicon in an inhomogeneous environment. Valley-orbit coupling is treated perturbatively. We apply the theory to the Stark effect in Si:P. The method becomes more accurate at high fields, and it is designed to give correct experimental bindin…

Inelastic neutron scattering has been applied to the study of the spin dynamics of Cr-based antiferromagnetic octanuclear rings where a finite total spin of the ground state is obtained by substituting one ${\mathrm{Cr}}^{3+}$ ion $(s=3∕2)$ with $\mathrm{Zn}\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}(s=0)$, $\mathrm{Mn}\phantom{\rule…

Electronic states in nanographite ribbons with zigzag edges are studied using the extended Hubbard model with nearest neighbor Coulomb interactions. The electronic states with the opposite electric charges separated along both edges are analogous as nanocondensers. Therefore, electric capacitance, defined using a rela…

Based on theory of nonlocal elasticity, a nonlocal double-elastic beam model is developed for the free transverse vibrations of double-walled carbon nanotubes. The effect of small length scale is incorporated in the formulation. With this nonlocal double-elastic beam model, explicit expressions are derived for natural…

The rate constants for the NCN + NO reaction have been measured by laser photolysis/laser-induced fluorescence technique in the temperature range of 254-353 K in the presence of He (40-600 Torr) and N2 (30-528 Torr) buffer gases. The NCN radical was produced from the photodissociation of NCN3 at 193 nm and monitored w…

Dissipative particle dynamics, a simulation technique appropriate at mesoscopic scales, has been applied to investigate the interfaces in immiscible binary A/B homopolymer blends and in the ternary systems with their block copolymers. For the binary blends, the interfacial tension increases and the interface thickness…

We analyze the response of a nematic liquid-crystal film, confined between parallel walls, to the presence of nanoscopic particles adsorbed at the walls. This is done for a variety of patterns of adsorption (random and periodic) and operational conditions of the system that can be controlled in experimental liquid-cry…

Spin-trapping experiments show the formation of sulfur-centered radicals during a ligand-exchange reaction between Ph3P-protected Au nanoparticles and alkanethiols in air (see picture). Oxidation of the alkanethiols by molecular O2 adsorbed on the nanoparticles is proposed as the key step. The feasibility of such a pr…
