The magnetization and resistivity of single crystals of the Zintl compound ${\mathrm{Eu}}_{14}{\mathrm{MnBi}}_{11}$ are measured as functions of temperature and applied magnetic field. The magnetization data show an apparent antiferromagnetic transition at ${T}_{N}=32\mathrm{K}$ even though the high-temperature suscep…
The interfacial characteristics of SiC/C/SiC composites with different fiber‐coating bond strengths have been investigated using single‐fiber push‐out tests. Previous studies have shown that weak or strong bonds can be obtained by using as‐received or treated fibers, respectively, and that the stress‐strain behavior i…
The dielectric dispersion and influence of a.c. electric field strength on electric permittivity as well as the hysteresis loops for Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3 ceramics were investigated. The dipolar relaxation of Cole—Cole type below 1 MHz is observed. This relaxation significantly evolves with temperature and is connected with…
Effects of hydrogen in alloys on their anodic polarization curves and the dissolution behavior of types 304 and 310 (UNS 30400 and UNS 31000) stainless steels (SS) in 0.5 M sulfuric acid (H2SO4) + 0.1 M hydrochloric acid (HCl) solution were studied. Electrochemical polarization curves obtained from both alloys showed…
The effect of NaCl in combination with and on the atmospheric corrosion of copper was investigated. Corrosion products formed after 4 weeks exposure were characterized qualitatively by X‐ray diffraction and quantitatively by gravimetry and ion chromatography of leaching solutions. Studies of deposition and consumption…
Nucleophilic reactions between mercapto-substituted amphiphiles and carbosilane dendrimers bearing (chloromethyl)silyl groups on their terminal branches gave, in high yields, amphiphilic dendrimers with hydrophobic carbosilane cores and alcohol, dimethylamino, or sodium sulfonate amphiphilic groups at the periphery. T…
Amorphous nitrogenated carbon (a-CN:H) films are prepared from a mixture of methane and nitrogen in an electron cyclotron resonance plasma at a pressure of 2 mTorr and applying a substrate bias of −300 V. Based on the characterization done by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Raman spectroscopy on the films c…
Hydro-Quebec's experience with polymer insulators began in 1977. A sixteen km section of a 735 kV transmission line near Quebec City was then re-insulated with 282 composite insulators of three different makes in equal proportions. The objective was to study them under real service conditions in order to evaluate thei…
The isothermal oxidation of pure CVD SiC and Si 3 N 4 has been studied for 100 h in dry, flowing oxygen from 1200° to 1600°C in an alumina tube furnace. Adherent oxide formed at temperatures to 1550°C. The major crystalline phase in the resulting silica scales was alpha‐cristobalite. Parabolic rate constants for SiC w…
Abstract The droplet‐size evolution in polymer blends, due to flow‐driven coalescence, is nvestigated both experimentally and theoretically. In the experiments, preshearing at a high rate is applied to generate a fine morphology in the blend; subsequently, the shear rate is suddenly decreased to induce coalescence, an…
Achnanthes longipes is a marine, biofouling diatom that adheres to surfaces via adhesive polymers extruded during motility or organized into structures called stalks that contain three distinct regions: the pad, shaft, and collar. Four monoclonal antibodies (AL.C1-AL.C4) and antibodies from two uncloned hybridomas (AL…
We propose the use of high-index materials for the fabrication of subwavelength diffractive components operating in the visible domain. This approach yields a reduction of fabrication constraints and an improvement of theoretical performance. A blazed grating with subwavelength binary features and with a period of 5.7…
The nitrogen doping effect on the Ge–Sb–Te recording layer was quantitatively examined. We succeeded in the quantitative analysis of the nitrogen concentration in the Ge–Sb–Te–(N) recording layer by secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) observation. The nitrogen concentration could be finely controlled at a high depo…
The spin- and orbital-moment magnetization form factors in NiO have been measured using magnetic x-ray scattering. The polarization analysis of nonresonant magnetic-scattering intensities has evidenced a large contribution from the orbital moment to the total magnetization. In the antiferromagnetic phase, the orbital…
pdrK encodes a pyridoxine (PN)/pyridoxal (PL)/pyridoxamine (PM) kinase thought to function in the salvage pathway of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) coenzyme biosynthesis. The observation that pdxK null mutants still contain PL kinase activity led to the hypothesis that Escherichia coli K-12 contains at least one other B…
Corrosion pits on stainless steel often grow in such a way as to undermine the original surface, and, consequently, a thin layer of metal and oxide is left over the growing pit cavity. These pit covers develop a porous, lacelike structure, and a model for the development of this structure is described. Calculations ba…
I discuss the chemistry and physics of semiconductor nanocrystals. Various physical size regimes are outlined in both spectroscopic and kinetic properties. There is a solvation effect on electron transport kinetics due to the electric field of the moving carrier. The importance of chemical synthesis is emphasized with…
Pt-based metallizations using different adhesion layers (Ti, Zr and Ta) were studied for use as electrodes for ferroelectric thin films on oxidized silicon substrates. Different ways of oxidizing the adhesion layers prior to ferroelectric film growth are compared, with regard to obtaining stable, adherent Pt films of…
Abstract Nanomorphological structure of well-crystallized Georgia and poorly crystallized North Queensland kaolinite particles have been compared using field emission scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). In general, there is good agreement in information from the 2 very different imagi…
Self-assembling of nanocrystals involves organization of nanocrystals encapsulated by protective compact organic molecules into a crystalline material. The adsorbed molecules not only serve as the protection layer for the nanocrystals but also provide the dominant cohesive interactions (or “bonding”) sustaining the na…
