This study experimentally examined the explosive fragmentation of thin ceramic tubes using pulsed power. A thin ceramic tube was threaded on a thin copper wire, and high voltage was applied to the wire using a pulsed power generator. This melted the wire and the resulting vapor put pressure on the ceramic tube, causin…

We studied $\mathrm{Sr}\mathrm{Ti}{\mathrm{O}}_{3}$ into which spins and carriers are doped by Cr substitution for Ti and La substitution for Sr, respectively. It was found that Weiss temperatures vary from negative to positive values with carrier doping, indicating the appearance of a ferromagnetic interaction betwee…

Presented is a novel application of pulsed field gradient (PFG)-NMR to the analysis of intercompartment exchange and the inner compartment droplet size distribution of a W/O/W multiple emulsion. The method involves monitoring the diffusional behavior of different components of the emulsion. Pfeuffer et al. [Pfeuffer,…

Quasi-aligned ZnO nanotubes have been grown on silicon substrates by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition without using any catalyst. Two kinds of ZnO nanotubular structures were found: Nanotubes with single walls and nanotubes with double walls. The nanotubes were grown along the [001] direction. Room-temperature p…

We investigate the mechanism of microdomain orientation in concentrated block copolymer solutions exposed to a dc electric field by in situ synchrotron small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). As a model system, we use concentrated solutions of a lamellar polystyrene-b-polyisoprene block copolymer in toluene. We find that…

Abstract The synthesis and characterization of copolymers containing 2‐ethylhexyl methacrylate and a quadruple‐hydrogen‐bonding site, 2‐ureido‐4[1 H ]‐pyrimidone methacrylate (UPyMA), are described. An analogous dimeric hydrogen‐bond‐containing copolymer based on 2‐ethylhexyl methacrylate and methacrylic acid (PEHMA‐…

For the purpose of crystal structure analysis under uniaxial strain at low temperatures, we developed a pressure cell for uniaxial compression and a unique design of an x-ray diffractometer wherein both the x-ray source and the detector are capable of two-axial rotation with a fixed sample. This arrangement is advanta…

ZnO p-n homojunctions were fabricated on quartz substrates by depositing Al-doped n-type ZnO layer on Al–N-co-doped p-type ZnO layer through reactive magnetron sputtering. In/Zn metal contacts to as-grown ZnO show ohmic behavior, and the ohmic contacts can be improved by annealing in an Ar ambient. The optimal anneali…

1,1-Bis(2'-thienyl)-2,3,4,5-tetraphenylsilole (1) was prepared and characterized crystallographically. Silole 1 exhibited aggregation-induced emission (AIE) behavior like other 2,3,4,5-tetraphenylsiloles. Unexpectedly, aggregates formed in water/acetone (6:4 by volume) mixture emitted a blue light that peaked at 474 n…

Lithium ions were introduced into Er-doped ZnO specimens, and the codoping effect was investigated on the photoluminescence (PL) spectra around 1.54μm. It was found that the Li addition increased the PL intensity by about 90 times at most, and also the strongest peak position shifted from 1.534μm to 1.539μm. The enhan…

Grand canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulations were used for the modeling of the hydrogen adsorption in idealized graphite slitlike pores. In all simulations, quantum effects were included through the Feynman and Hibbs second-order effective potential. The simulated surface excess isotherms of hydrogen were used for t…

More than 10 years have passed since carbon nanotubes (CNT) have been found during observations by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Since then, one of the major applications of the CNT is the reinforcements of plastics in processing composite materials, because it was found by experiments that CNT possessed spl…

We explore situations in which certain stochastic and high-dimensional deterministic systems behave effectively as low-dimensional dynamical systems. We define and study moment maps, maps on spaces of low-order moments of evolving distributions, as a means of understanding equations-free multiscale algorithms for thes…

The starting formula of Bosvieux and Friedel for the force on an ion in a metal due to an applied voltage is shown to lead to the same description as the linear-response approach used in the field since its introduction by Kumar and Sorbello. By this electromigration theory has become a unified theory. It follows afte…
