For classical elasticity, the constitutive equations (Hooke’s law) have the same functional form for both homogeneous and nonhomogeneous materials. However, for strain-gradient elasticity, such is not the case. This paper shows that for strain-gradient elasticity with volumetric and surface energy (Casal’s continuum),…

Application of polynuclear metal clusters for phasing X-ray crystal structures of macromolecules is discussed. Their strong isomorphous and anomalous scattering signal is particularly useful for phasing structures of large macromolecules and complexes, especially at low resolution. The popularity of the metal clusters…

The ideal torsional strengths of a class of carbon nanotubes, and the torsional stiffnesses of all carbon nanotubes are computed using a novel combination of an ab initio electronic structure total energy technique and a physically motivated scaling form. The specific torsional strengths of multi-walled tubes are pred…

The quality of life of patients who wear an orbital prosthesis would be vastly improved if their prostheses were also able to execute vertical and horizontal motion. This requires appropriate actuation and control systems to create an intelligent prosthesis. A method of actuation that meets the demanding design criter…

Heterophasic propylene−ethylene copolymers (HPEC) containing 1 wt % bis(2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidinyl) sebacate (Tinuvin 770) as a hindered amine stabilizer (HAS) were aged by exposure of ≈3 mm thick plaques to UVA and UVB sources in weathering chambers at 318 K. Two types of copolymers, HPEC1 and HPEC2, were exam…

We investigate a thin Sn film grown at elevated temperatures on the fivefold surface of an icosahedral $\mathrm{Al}\mathrm{Cu}\mathrm{Fe}$ quasicrystal by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). At about one monolayer coverage, the deposited Sn is found to form a smooth film of height consistent with one-half of the la…

We have performed numerical calculations and experimental studies on the dipole-dipole interaction in the hexagonal nanowire arrays. Using the dipole approximation with a length correction, the dipolar fields in the cylindrical wire arrays were calculated. By means of M\"ossbauer spectroscopy, the dipolar fields in th…

This contribution describes the synthesis of gold nanorod (Au NR)/single-wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) heterojunctions assembled directly on Si/SiOx substrates. SWCNTs are attached to amine-functionalized Si/SiOx substrates, and Au monolayer-protected clusters (MPCs) are adsorbed to the surface of SWCNTs through hydrop…

Ba 0.96 Ca 0.04 Ti 0.84 Zr 0.16 O 3 (BCTZ) and Ba0.5Sr0.5TiO3 (BST) thin films were deposited at a substrate temperature of 450°C via rf magnetron sputtering to form Pt∕BCTZ∕Pt and Pt∕BST∕Pt capacitors. BCTZ thin films hold promise as an alternative to BST in capacitor applications due to the resistance of BCTZ to red…
