The crystal structure of chemically disordered lead scandium niobate, Pb(Sc 1/2 Nb 1/2 )O 3 , is studied by the high-resolution neutron powder diffraction method. The data, collected over the temperature range 2-653 K, are analysed using Rietveld refinement. From 653 K to 378 K, the symmetry of PSN is found to be cubi…
The crystal structure of DMABA has been determined at 293 and 180 K. It crystallizes in the monoclinic P 2 1 / c space group. The structure was refined to R 1 = 0.0466 for 1269 independent reflections at 293 K and R 1 = 0.038 for 1728 reflections at 180 K. DMABA is isomorphous with the chlorine analogue, DMACA. Its an…
We investigate the electron population dynamics in an ensemble of nearly isolated insulating nanoparticles, each nanoparticle modeled as an electronic two-level system coupled to a single vibrational mode. We find that at short times the ensemble-averaged excited-state population oscillates but has a decaying envelope…
Abstract The superplasticity exhibited by some fine-grained ceramics, notably 3-mol% yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystals (3Y-TZP), offers interesting possibilities to lower manufacturing costs by near net shape forming. Both glassy and crystalline materials have been added to pure 3 Y-TZP to limit grain…
The effect of niobium dopant and annealing (900°C, 8h) on the crystal structure, microstructure, and piezoelectric properties of 0.55Pb(Sc1/2Ta1/2)O3-0.45PbTiO3+xmass%Nb2O5 ceramics (Nb-doped PSTT) (x=1, 0.5%, 1.5%, 2%) were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and piezoelectric…
We analyzed the temperature dependence of the amplitude of modulated structures of [N(CH3)4]2ZnCl4 crystal in the incommensurate (INC) phase by measuring the EPR spectra for Mn2+ doped single crystal. The amplitude of the vibrational modulation linearly increased with decreasing temperature. Applying Frank and Van der…
Abstract Silicon dioxide is an important catalyst material, a mainstay insulator in microelectronics, and a widely distributed terrestrial and marine skeletal mineral. Geologically, it is found in one of a large number of polymorphic crystalline states, but can also be rendered “amorphous” by rapid cooling from the me…
Abstract It has been estimated that more than 90% of all scanning electron microscope (SEM) images ever published have been obtained using secondary electrons (SE) which are defined as being those electrons emitted with energies between 0 and 50eV. The properties of these secondary electron are therefore of considerab…
Abstract Focused Ion Beam (FIB) micromachining techniques have gained significant attention over the past few years as a promising method for the preparation of a variety of metallic and nonmetallic materials for subsequent characterization using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) The advantage of the FIB in terms…
Abstract Image analysis tools and statistical procedures have been developed to quantify particle shape. Three copper sulfate crystallization processes have been carried out and the effects of process operating parameters upon crystal morphology have been studied as well as the relationships between morphology and pow…
Abstract Most materials used in technology are polycrystalline. Therefore, the properties of the internal interfaces often control the properties of the materials (interface-controlled materials). In single phase polycrystalline materials, grain boundaries are the internal interfaces (homophase boundaries) of interest…
A short synthesis of tetramethyltetrathiafulvalene quadruply labeled with carbon-13 is described.
An account is presented of our studies of the order-disorder phase transitions in KSCN, RbSCN, and CsSCN. These are based on parameter-free interionic potentials based on the Gordon-Kim modified electron gas formalism extended to molecular ions. We performed static structural relaxations and supercell molecular dynami…
Abstract Four polyimides (PIa‐PId) containing 4,4′‐hexafluoroisopropylidene‐bisphthalic anhydride (6FDA) units in the backbone were prepared via one‐step synthesis. The effects of different doses of gamma radiation from a cobalt‐60 source are studied. The irradiated and the unirradiated polyimides are characterized by…
This discovery-based activity involves entropy analysis of galvanic cells. The intent of the activity is for students to discover the fundamentals of electrochemical cells through a combination of entropy analysis, exploration, and guided discovery. The student is guided into discovering (i) two fundamental quantities…
Abstract The new ternary one-dimensional chain compounds K 2 ZrS 4 , Rb 2 ZrS 4 and Rb 2 HfS 4 were prepared at 350 °C by reacting A 2 S 3 and S with elemental M (A = K, Rb; M = Zr, Hf). They are isostructural, crystallizing in the orthorhombic space group Pbca with Z = 8 . The M atoms are in a distorted octahedral en…
The structures of lambda-Al4Mn, manganese aluminide, kappa-Al177Cr49Ni, chromium nickel aluminide, and epsilon-Al4Cr, chromium aluminide, which have been described in terms of the aggregation of clusters until now, are interpreted as modulated structures. They are basically composed of close-packed layers with ordered…
We propose an analytical model based on Timoshenko's theory which describes chemical and physical properties of a polymer and a substrate layer system. This temperature dependent model is developed to account for the thermal stress caused by a mismatch of isobaric expansivity, due to the solvent evaporation and imidiz…
Hot corrosion is the accelerated attack of materials at elevated temperatures that is induced by a thin film of fused salt. Many materials that experience hot corrosion are exposed to high heat fluxes and temperature gradients. The hot corrosion of metals can be described by the dissolution of a protective metal oxide…
Mutual diffusion at PS/PVME (polystyrene/polyvinyl methyl ether) interface both below and above the glass transition temperature, Tg, of polystyrene was probed by Attenuated total reflection (ATR) and rheometry techniques. The results were analyzed with a simple three layer model and a combination of Fickian and Case-…
