Rate constants for N2(A,v) quenching by O, for levels v=2–7, by O2 for levels v=3–7, and by NO for levels v=2–4, have been measured in this work. This is the first data set for the quenching by O of vibrational levels v>3. The results of this work are based on the measurement by laser induced fluorescence (LIF)…

The morphologies formed by block copolymers with a double-graft, H or S2IS2 architecture were investigated using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and small angle neutron scattering (SANS). Here S and I represent blocks of polystyrene and polyisoprene, respectively. These materials were synthesized using anionic…

Piezomagnetism refers to a change in the intrinsic magnetization of a material subjected to mechanical actions such as tension or compression. In a ferromagnet such as a mild steel these effects are easily measured: typically a stress of or 140 MPa induces a magnetic moment of the order of emu or , resulting in flux d…

The classic metallurgical systems -- noble metal alloys -- that have formed the benchmark for various alloy theories, are revisited. First-principles fully relaxed general potential LAPW total energies of a few ordered structures are used as input to a mixed-space cluster expansion calculation to study the phase stabi…

The photoelectron spectra of SiO2 on silicon powder is measured with and without the addition of carbon black. Samples without carbon black show significant charging and peak deformation due to photoelectron emission. Samples containing carbon black show no evidence of charging. Furthermore, the contribution from carb…

Laser light scattering (LLS), small-angle x-ray scattering, and small-angle neutron scattering are complementary techniques. Together they become unmatched among the physical methods that can be used to investigate the structure and dynamics of polymeric materials over a large range of length and time scales. The uniq…

Structure–property relationship studies have been performed in the La-modified lead zirconate titanate (PLZT) solution as a function of quenched La impurity content and Zr/Ti ratio. For Zr/Ti ratios of 90/10 and 85/15, an incommensurate antiferroelectric state was found to be stabilized with increasing La content. Tem…

We report the results of a ${}^{27}\mathrm{Al}$ nuclear magnetic resonance study of icosahedral quasicrystalline ${\mathrm{Al}}_{70}{\mathrm{Re}}_{8.6}{\mathrm{Pd}}_{21.4}$ at temperatures between 0.04 and 300 K and in magnetic fields between 1.5 and 7 T. At very low temperatures we have found that the temperature dep…

A reflective liquid crystal diffraction grating is proposed which makes use of the maximum available surface area. The structure consists of alternating stripes, each a twisted-nematic domain with surface orientation perpendicular to that of its neighbors. All domains have the same twist sense. This device yields, in…

We report on energy resolved field emission measurements of 0.3 μm thick nitrogen containing diamondlike carbon (DLC). The film used in this study was deposited by filtered arc deposition onto a highly p-doped Si(100) wafer. The film showed homogeneous field emission over the entire wafer area with an onset field for…

It has long been recognized that WO3 can be colored through electro-, photo-, and thermo-chromism processes. We report here that WO3 turned to a deep blue color upon just one pulse irradiation of the XeCl excimer laser (λ=308 nm, pulse duration=36 ns, output energy=100 mJ/pulse). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) ima…

The results of magnetoresistance measurements on a naturally occurring multilayer LaMn2Ge2, which is ferromagnetic below 326 K, are reported. The magnitude of magnetoresistance is found to be positive below 70 K gradually increasing to an unusually large value (nearly 100%) at 4.2 K in the presence of a field of 70 kO…

We study the morphology of symmetric diblock copolymer films with thicknesses below the bulk equilibrium period supported by both flat and corrugated substrates. In this thickness regime, the film morphology is characterized by the formation of uniformly sized lateral domains. On flat substrates, these domains are ran…

We present a simple theory for structural transitions in displacive ferroelectrics of the perovskite type. In our theory, the competition between the elastic energy cost for the displacement of the homopolar ion from the centrosymmetric position, and the energy gain due to a ferroelectric ordering of the dipoles forme…

Blends of PA 6 with SMA or with 12.5–100% fatty amine (C 18) modified SMA at compositions 95/5–60/40 were studied. Particle size of SMA dispersed in PA 6 matrix was around 0.1 μm due to in situ compatibilizer formation. The strength and stiffness of the blends were higher and toughness unchanged in comparison with PA…
