In general, nonexponential relaxation can result either from a heterogeneous (superposition of different exponential processes) or a homogeneous scenario (identical intrinsically nonexponential processes). In the present paper for the first time a strict definition of both scenarios is formulated. A procedure is prese…
We present a clear and rigorous derivation of the Ewald-like method for calculation of the electrostatic energy of the systems infinitely periodic in two-dimensions and of finite size in the third dimension (slabs) which is significantly faster than existing methods. Molecular dynamics simulations using the transferab…
ceramics with x = 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.33, 0.4 and 0.5 have been synthesized by the mixed oxide method. Dielectric measurements were performed for ceramics from to Hz in the temperature range 85 - 700 K. The dielectric measurements confirmed that the solid solution range extends up to about x = 0.3. In the solid solutions…
The structural and electronic transport properties of ABO3-type compounds La2/3−xRxCa1/3MnO3(R=Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Y, Er, and Tm) with a fixed tolerance factor of t=0.91137 is studied. Similar structure deformation, characterized by the nearly constant average Mn–O, A–O distances and Mn–O–Mn bond angles, is ob…
A nucleation model was proposed for a carbon nanotube enclosing a Ni bar which was grown by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) at 700 °C using round Ni particles. At an early stage of CVD, each round Ni particle with a diameter of about 30 nm is covered with graphite layers. The graphite-covered Ni particle is considered…
Military fighter aircraft occasionally suffer highspeed collisions with birds, posing a threat to pilot safety and to the structural integrity of the aircraft. An explicit three-dimensional finite element code for transient dynamic analysis, named X3D, has been developed at the University of Dayton Research Institute…
This paper presents an experimental investigation of the effect of surface charge upon the impulse flash-over of metallic-particle-contaminated insulators, which were clamped between two parallel planar electrodes, in at 1.0 bar. The results show that the accumulated surface charge greatly affects the impulse flash-ov…
High resolution x-ray emission spectroscopy is shown to reveal unprecedented details of the chemical bond formed between a molecule and a transition metal surface. An atom and symmetry projected view of the bonding orbitals is obtained. We find that all outer and inner valence orbitals of the molecule change due to th…
Hysteresis, the lag between the force and the response, is often associated with noisy, jerky motion which have recently been called ``avalanches''. The interesting question is why the avalanches come in such a variety of sizes: naively one would expect either all small events or one large one. Power-law distributions…
A suitable in situ monitoring technique for growth of thin films is reflection high energy electron diffraction (RHEED). Deposition techniques, like pulsed laser deposition (PLD) and sputter deposition, used for fabrication of complex oxide thin films use relatively high oxygen pressures (up to 100 Pa) and are, theref…
Topology related changes in the local density of states near the ends of closed carbon nanotubes are investigated using spatially resolved scanning tunneling spectroscopy and tight binding calculations. Sharp resonant valence band states are observed in the experiment at the tube ends, dominating the valence band edge…
The high-temperature properties of the Al(111) surface are studied by molecular-dynamics simulation. This surface does not melt below the bulk melting point, but can be superheated. Superheating of metal surfaces has been recently observed in several experiments. A molecular-dynamics study of the structural properties…
Reactive functional thermoplastic poly(arylene ether) toughness modifiers were demonstrated to enhance toughness of brittle thermosetting cyanate ester networks and also allowed retention of a highly desirable stability to solvent stress cracking and a moderately high modulus. Careful control of the heterophase morpho…
The basic mode of relaxation in polymer molecules involves the rotation of a conformer, with a time scale of the order of picoseconds. This fast relaxation process, however, cannot take place easily in the condensed state crowded by densely packed conformers, necessitating the intermolecular cooperativity among them.…
The cure of a technical-grade TGDDM (N,N,N′N′-tetraglycidyl-4,4′-diaminodiphenylmethane) with two different anhydride hardeners (hexahydrophthalic anhydride [HHPA] and tetrahydrophthalic anhydride [THPA]) is reported. The reaction was followed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), in situ infrared spectroscopy (…
A review on the synthesis of unsaturated polyester (UP) prepolymers showed that Ordelt saturation (reaction of hydroxyl groups with double bonds) is the major effect that may cause formation of chain branches and then result in an uncertainty of chain end number or functionality. A model has been derived in this work…
At the core, at the core and at the surface, within the cascade structure, or within the cascade structure and at the surface are different ways in which the dendrimers described here can be selectively alkylated. These phosphorus-containing dendrimers have generations of different constitution (example depicted on th…
The hydrolysis of a cyanate ester network made from the monomer 2,2′-bis(4-cyanatophenyl) isopropylidene (bisphenol A dicyanate homopolymer) was studied. Hydrolysis reactions were performed isothermally at temperatures from 150 to 180°C under conditions of excess water. The kinetics of the reaction were characterized…
The differential scanning calorimetry glass transition (DSC Tg), measured by ASTM test method E-1356, and the dynamic mechanical analysis glass transition (DMA Tg), measured using a new definition of the DMA Tg, generally agree within ±4°C for a wide variety of commercially available polymers. The DMA Tg is defined as…
