Scaling caused by Na 2 CO 3 −Na 2 SO 4 double salts constitutes a severe problem in black liquor evaporators. The ability to predict the solubility and solid-phase composition of these species would be conclusive in minimizing the adverse effects of scaling. Experimental solubility data for (sodium sulfate) dicarbonat…

ZnGa 2 O 4 particles that are regular octahedra in shape and uniform in size were synthesized on Si substrates via catalyst-free chemical vapour deposition. The surfaces of the octahedra are bounded by {1 1 1} facets. A model based on surface energy dependent growth rate is proposed for interpreting the appearance of…

Sensor performance for dual band forward looking infrared (FLIR) imagers can be substantially improved by increased simultaneous throughput of both sensor bands in the optical systems. Currently available antireflection coatings (ARs) have optimized performance for either spectral band, but not both on the same optic.…

Rhodamine 6G and Rhodamine B dye mixture doped polymer optical fiber amplifier (POFA), which can operate in a broad wavelength region (60 nm), has been successfully fabricated and tested. Tunable operation of the amplifier over a broad wavelength region is achieved by mixing different ratios of the dyes. The dye doped…

The tensile properties of segmented block copolymers with mono-disperse hard segments were studied with respect to the hard segment content (16-44 wt.%) and the temperature (20-110 °C). The copolymers were comprised of poly(tetramethylene oxide) segments with the molecular weights of 650-2,900 Da and of mono-disperse…

The uncooled infrared imaging revolution began when ferroelectric detectors based on barium strontium titanate (BST) demonstrated NETDs less than 100mK at prices sufficiently low for commercial applications. Although this technology produces unsurpassed image quality, it has been largely supplanted by microbolometer t…

In this work, I discuss the magnetocaloric effect under applied pressure, as well as the barocaloric effect, in the Laves phase compounds RCo 2 (R = Er, Ho and Dy). To this end, I use a model Hamiltonian including both localized 4f spins and itinerant 3d electrons. The calculations point out that (i) for an applied pr…

The evolution of the geometric and electronic structures within the entire series of lanthanide orthophosphate nanoparticles ( approximately 2- approximately 5 nm) has been determined experimentally with X-ray diffraction and near edge X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy. In particular, the interplay between…

PbTiO3/BiFeO3 (PB film), BiFeO3/PbTiO3 (BP film) multilayer structural films and pure BiFeO3 film (BFO film) have been deposited on LaNiO3/SiO2/Si substrates by the sol–gel process annealed at 600 °C. XRD results indicate that the films are well crystallized and no impure phases are observed. The results of ferroelect…

We present helium atom scattering measurements of the boson peak at the surface of vitreous silica between 127.0 and 368.5 K. The most probable energy shows a strong temperature dependence and increases linearly with temperature in the measured range. The observed blueshift of the surface boson peak (shift rate 0.008+…
