In a previous study, the behavior of single crystal tantalum under ramp wave loading along the [100] and [110] orientations was characterized. The principal objective of the present study is to gain some insights on the observed single crystal behavior particularly on its precursor response and strong orientation depe…
This paper presents calculations of a new formulation of the three‐dimensional Kirchhoff approximation which allows calculation of the scattering of vector waves from two-dimensional (2D) metal and dielectric rough surfaces containing infinite slopes. Results are presented for scattering from metal surfaces with recta…
We present a Monte Carlo study of the effects of elastic anisotropy on the textures of nematic films with specific random hybrid boundary conditions. The polarized microscopy images and their evolution are analyzed in uniaxial systems for different values of the elastic constants.
Several advances in materials research have been made due to the wide array of tools currently available for the processing of materials: plasmas, electron beams, ion beams and lasers. The area of material science is fortunate to have seen the development of these tools over the years, be it for new bulk materials, co…
Films fabricated using the glancing angle deposition technique are subject to significant variations in several important film parameters across a sample due to geometric conditions that are not uniform across the substrate. This paper presents a method to quantify the non-uniformities in these quantities, starting fr…
Low-temperature thermoelectric properties are reported for polycrystalline samples of chalcogenide spinel CuyFe4Sn12X32 (X = S, Se; y = 8.0 to 4.0). For all samples with X = S, the electrical resistivity ρ behaves similarly to that of a doped semiconductor at high temperatures and shows a variable-range-hopping-type (…
Jute fabrics-reinforced polymer composites were prepared with different formulations using oligomer (M-1200), methanol and benzoyl peroxide. Fiber content in the composites was optimized and 55% jute content at oligomer: methanol: benzyl peroxide = 75:24.5:0.5 (w/w) ratios showed better mechanical properties. Jute fab…
The thermoelectric application of Bi2Te3 and Sb2Te3 thin film structures relies on the relative alignment of the valence band maxima for good electrical conduction. In order to determine the valence band maxima of the bulk films, the authors propose a simple repeatable treatment of a chemical etching in dilute hydroch…
Calcium alginate fibers were prepared from sodium alginate by extruding aqueous sodium alginate solution (4% by weight) into a calcium chloride (2% by weight) bath. Water uptake and mechanical properties of the calcium alginate fiber were investigated. Water uptake tests of calcium alginate showed that it absorbed 50%…
The capacitance–dc voltage relation has been investigated in the giant dielectric constant material CaCu3Ti4O12. A capacitance drop, rise and even maxima, minima have been found with increasing dc voltage, which could not simply be explained by the back-to-back Schottky barrier theory. A trap charges repositioning bet…
A general method for mapping the equipotential profile surrounding a conductive cylindrically symmetric high aspect ratio structure, such as a carbon nanotube or a Spindt tip, is devised. The surface of the object is replaced by a discrete set of charges located on the symmetry axis. The overall electrostatic potentia…
Multiferroic BiFeO3 (BFO) with the rhombohedral R3c symmetry is characterized by a clockwise-counterclockwise tilting (theta) of the FeO6 octahedron unit along the threefold pseudo-cubic [111](c) direction. A phase transition associated with the disappearance of theta is conceivable at a high temperature as thermal en…
Abstract An investigation on electronic and elastic properties of the ordered Si 0.5 Ge 0.5 alloy under high pressure has been conducted using first‐principles calculations based on density functional theory (DFT) with the plane wave basis set as implemented in the CASTEP code. Our results demonstrate that the sequenc…
We have performed angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy of layered cobalt oxide Na x CoO 2 for a wide doping range (0.35⩽ x ⩽0.85) with synchrotron radiation, and determined the doping dependence of the Fermi surface and band structure. The two-dimensional (2D) cylindrical a 1g Fermi surface at x =0.35 gradually i…
Abstract: This study reports on the influence of injection molding processing parameters on mechanical properties of oil palm Empty Fruit Bunch (EFB) filled High Density Poly Ethylene (HDPE). The biocomposite pellets were first prepared using an extruder with 20 wt% EFB content before being processed in an injection-m…
Carbon diffusion is observed in single crystal α-Al2 O3 substrates from carbon and Ti2AlC thin films synthesized via pulsed cathodic arc deposition. Diffusion was found to occur at substrate temperatures of 570 °C and above. The diffusion coefficient of carbon in α-Al2 O3 is estimated to be of the order 3×10-13 cm2/s…
Based on the nonlocal elastic theory and variational principle, new Timoshenko beam models and analytical solutions for buckling of carbon nanotubes considering nanoscale size effect and shear deformation are established. New equilibrium equations and higher-order boundary conditions are derived and the buckling behav…
Poly(melamine-urea-formaldehyde) microcapsules containing sulfur were prepared by in-situ polymerization. Several preparation parameters of microcapsules were investigated by analyzing the morphology, particle size and encapsulation efficiency. The morphologies indicated that sodium dodecyl sulfonate (SDS) was a suita…
The objectives of this study were to fabricate cross-linked biodegradable polycarbonate nanofibers and to investigate their biodegradability by different enzymes. Poly(2,3-dihydroxycarbonate) was synthesized from naturally occurring l-tartaric acid. The hydroxyl groups on the functional polycarbonate were converted to…
We have performed magnetization measurements of Gd5Ge4 with little or no ferromagnetic (FM) impurities under a pulsed magnetic field up to 40 T. The results reveal previously undetected transitions between 85 and 105 K, that is, a distinct second-order antiferromagnetic (AFM)-paramagnetic (PM) transition, followed by…
