Two novel three-dimensional (3D) 3d-4f mixed complexes [Ln(H(2)O)(4)][Ni(2)TTHA(SCN)(2)].H(3)O+ [Ln = Pr (1), Ce (2); H(6)TTHA = triethylenetetraaminehexaacetic acid], based on the building blocks of [Ni(2)TTHA(SCN)(2)](4-), were synthesized and characterized by X-ray crystal diffraction and magnetic properties. The s…

In the present investigation, we explore the feasibility of using TiSi 2 as a sintering aid to densify titanium diboride (TiB 2 ) at a lower sintering temperature (<1700°C). The hot‐pressing experiments were conducted in the temperature range of 1400°–1650°C for 1 h in an argon atmosphere and TiSi 2 addition to TiB…
Gelcasting is conventionally used to acquire high‐density ceramic parts; however, in this work, alumina (Al 2 O 3 ) ceramics with ultra‐low density (8%–40% theoretical density) were successfully fabricated by this method. In this research, polymerization of acrylamide was realized in tert‐butyl alcohol/Al 2 O 3 slurri…
Nickel (Ni)—yttria‐stabilized zirconia (YSZ) cermets are a prevalent material used for solid oxide fuel cells. The cermet degrades upon redox cycling. The degradation is related to microstructural changes, but knowledge of the mechanisms has been limited. Direct current conductivity measurements were performed on cerm…
This paper presents the results of an experimental study to evaluate the damage and failure mode of hybrid-fiber engineered cementitious composite (ECC) panels caused by large projectiles or fragments. The aim is to quantify the extent to which hybrid-fiber ECC improves the resistance of blast panels against impact lo…
Abstract Ring‐opening hydrolysis of epoxidized soybean oil in the presence of phosphoric acid was studied under varying experimental conditions. The influence of type and amount of solvents, phosphoric acid content and water content on the rate of ring‐opening reactions and the characteristics of the derived products…
We obtain analytical expressions for the eigenstates and the Landau level spectrum of biased graphene bilayers in a magnetic field. The calculations are performed in the context of a four-band continuum model and generalize previous approximate results. Solutions are presented for the spectrum as a function of interla…
Crystal and magnetic structures of a series of novel quantum spin trimer system Ca3Cu3xNix(PO4)4 (x=0,1,2) were studied by neutron powder diffraction at the temperatures 1.5-290 K. The composition with one Ni per trimer (x=1) has a monoclinic structure (space group P 21 /a, no. 14) with the unit cell parameters a = 17…
In the present work, ternary Special Quasirandom Structures (SQSs) for a fcc solid solution phase are generated at different compositions, $x_A=x_B=x_C=\tfrac{1}{3}$ and $x_A=\tfrac{1}{2}$, $x_B=x_C=\tfrac{1}{4}$, whose correlation functions are satisfactorily close to those of a random fcc solution. The generated SQS…
We study bound magnetic polarons (BMP) in a very diluted magnetic semiconductor CdMnTe by means of site selective spectroscopy. In zero magnetic field we detect a broad and asymmetric band with a characteristic spectral width of about 5 meV. When external magnetic fields are applied a new line appears in the emission…
We use all-electrical methods to inject, transport, and detect spin-polarized electrons vertically through a 350-micron-thick undoped single-crystal silicon wafer. Spin precession measurements in a perpendicular magnetic field at different accelerating electric fields reveal high spin coherence with at least 13pi prec…
Simulations are used to examine the microscopic origins of strain hardening in polymer glasses. While traditional entropic network models can be fit to the total stress, their underlying assumptions are inconsistent with simulation results. There is a substantial energetic contribution to the stress that rises rapidly…
The Preyssler anion, of general formula [Xn+P5W30O110](15-n)-, is the smallest polyoxometalate (POM) with an internal cavity allowing cation exchange with the solution. The Preyssler anion features a rich chemistry evidenced by its ability to accept electrons at low potentials, to selectively capture various metal cat…
It is shown that a new type of metamaterial, a 3D-array of toroidal solenoids, displays a significant toroidal response that can be readily measured. This is in sharp contrast to materials that exist in nature, where the toroidal component is weak and hardly measurable. The existence of an optimal configuration, maxim…
The development of internal microstructure in electrospun fibers has been investigated both experimentally and theoretically. Various morphologies such as tubes, beads, and porous structures have been observed experimentally during electrospinning from amorphous polymer solutions such as poly(methyl methacrylate)/meth…
The growth of spiral mounds containing a screw dislocation is compared to the growth of wedding cakes by two-dimensional nucleation. Using phase field simulations and homoepitaxial growth experiments on the Pt(111) surface we show that both structures attain the same characteristic large scale shape when a significant…
We present a general method based on nonlinear response theory to obtain effective interactions between ions in an electron gas which can also be applied to other systems where an adiabatic separation of time-scales is possible. Nonlinear contributions to the interatomic potential are expressed in terms of physically…
We examine how the misorientation of a few stacked graphene layers affects the electronic structure of carbon nanosystems. We present {\it ab initio} calculations on bi- and trilayer systems to demonstrate that the massless Fermion behavior typical of single layered graphene is also found in incommensurate multilayere…
We propose a new variety of silicon quantum dots containing fullerene-derived hollows of nearly arbitrary symmetry. Conglomerate structures are designed by connecting the quantum dots through two kinds of junctions. The quantum confinement effect is investigated using semiempirical quantum-mechanical method. It is sho…
