Molecular dynamics simulations are performed for poly(propylene oxide) with molecular masses between M = 104 and 5795 g/mol using an atomistic force field. From atomic trajectories extending well into the nanoseconds regime, we calculate rank-two orientational correlation functions, providing access to segmental motio…

Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with MgZnO/ZnO/MgZnO double heterojunction structure have been fabricated and the room temperature electroluminescence (EL) spectra have been studied. With the help of double heterostructure, LEDs show better visible EL performance than that of LED with ordinary p-i-n structure. By replaci…

Fiber-based multimode combiners allow for wavelength and power scaling of laser sources while maintaining a common emission aperture and divergence. For applications in the mid-infrared spectral band, chalcogenide glass optical fibers are one of the few alternatives with high-power beam delivery. We demonstrated a 7 ×…

Results from electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and electron-nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) experiments are used to establish the model for the ground state of the singly ionized oxygen vacancy in the interior of bulk rutile TiO2 crystals. Hyperfine from 47Ti and 49Ti nuclei show that the unpaired electron in thi…

A low-cost and transparent stainless steel fiber (SSF)/silicone resin composite was prepared by blending shortcut SSF with silicone resins. The SSF was homogeneously dispersed in resins at submicrometer scales and formed cross-linking structures. The visible light transmittance (VLT) and shielding effectiveness (SE) o…

A composite mixture of NaBH 4 and Mg 2 NiH 4 (4:5, M/M) was prepared by high-energy ball milling and was investigated for solid-state storage of hydrogen. Addition of Mg 2 NiH 4 to NaBH 4 leads to formation of the stable ternary boride phase MgNi 2.5 B 2 and lowers the enthalpy of hydrogen desorption for NaBH 4 from 1…

In this study, the residual stresses generated within the overlay-welded cladding and base material of reactor pressure vessel (RPV) steel were measured for as-welded and postwelded heat-treated conditions using the sectioning and deep-hole-drilling (DHD) techniques. In addition, thermo–elastic–plastic creep analyses…
