The thermoelectric properties of filled gallium-germanium clathrates are analyzed from a band-structure point of view. Using the virtual crystal approximation the undoped clathrates are calculated to be semiconductors with band gaps around 0.6--0.9 eV. The conduction bands hybridize with the unoccupied d states of the…
A broad visible and infrared photoluminescence continuum is detected from surface-plasmon-enhanced transitions in gold nanostructures. We find that the ratio of generated infrared to visible emission is much stronger for gold nanostructures than for smooth gold films. While visible emission is well explained by interb…
Abstract A study was carried out on the wet spinning of chitosan fibers using 2% acetic acid as a solvent, 10% aqueous sodium hydroxide as a nonsolvent, and 4% chitosan solution as a polymer concentration. In this study, we investigated the effect of the ripening time of the spinning dope on the ability of fiber forma…
The common interpretation of the local-density approximation (LDA) band structure of ${\mathrm{V}}_{2}{\mathrm{O}}_{3}$ is that the apparent splitting of the ${a}_{1g}$ band into a low intensity structure deep below the Fermi energy and a high intensity feature above it is due to the bonding-antibonding coupling of th…
We present ${}^{77}\mathrm{Se}$ nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) Knight shift $(K)$ studies in pressurized $(\mathrm{TMTSF}{)}_{2}{\mathrm{PF}}_{6}$ with a magnetic field aligned along the b axis, perpendicular to the conducting chains but parallel to the conducting plane. On cooling deep into the superconducting stat…
Abstract This study deals with the synthesis of some nonionic waterborne polyurethanes (PUs), using ethyldiamines of different chain length, such as ethylenediamine (EDA) and diethyltriamine (DETA), as the chain extender in the reaction, and examines the thermal properties, mechanical properties, and dyeing properties…
We synthesized positively charged biodegradable hydrogels from poly(propylene fumarate-co-ethylene glycol) block copolymer and agmatine-modified poly(ethylene glycol)-tethered fumarate by radical crosslinking, and investigated the effect of the guanidino group of agmatine on vascular smooth muscle cell adhesion and pr…
Abstract The graft copolymerization of butyl acrylate onto chitosan in acetic acid aqueous solution was investigated, using the γ‐ray of 60 Co γ‐irradiation method. Fourier transform infrared spectra analysis, X‐ray diffraction analysis, and scanning electron microscopy characterized the graft copolymer. The effect of…
In this article, we present an investigation into the sound radiation from a permanent‐magnet DC electric motor using the finite‐element (FE) and boundary‐element (BE) models. A three‐times‐coupled electromagnetic‐mechanical‐acoustic numerical model was set‐up to predict the acoustic field. The first stage was to calc…
Contact between blood and a biomaterial surface takes place in many applications and is known to activate the coagulation and complement systems. Heparin surface coatings have been shown to reduce blood activation upon contact with artificial surfaces. To establish the optimal heparin surface concentration, blood was…
We study the electronic structure of the quasi-one-dimensional organic conductor TTF-TCNQ by means of density-functional band theory, Hubbard model calculations, and angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES). The experimental spectra reveal significant quantitative and qualitative discrepancies to band theory.…
Kinetic equations are analyzed for thermal degradation of polymers. The governing relations are based on the fragmentation-annihilation concept. Explicit solutions to these equations are derived in two particular cases of interest. For arbitrary values of adjustable parameters, the evolution of the number-average and…
We propose an explanation for the experimentally observed [JETP Lett. 74, 115 (2001)] giant temperature hysteresis of the ultrasound velocity and the internal friction in single crystals of lanthanum manganite (La0.8Sr0.2MnO3). The effect is interpreted within the framework of a phenomenological model based on the not…
The dielectric properties of $\ensuremath{\alpha}\ensuremath{-}{\mathrm{MgH}}_{2}$ are investigated in the photon energy range between 1 and 6.5 eV. For this purpose, a sample configuration and experimental setup are developed that allow both optical transmission and ellipsometric measurements of a transparent thin fi…
We study the thermopower of a junction between a metal and a strongly correlated semiconductor. Both in the electronic ferroelectric regime and in the Kondo insulator regime the thermoelectric figures of merit, ZT, of these junctions are compared with that of the ordinary semiconductor. By inserting at the interface o…
Abstract A linear low‐density polyethylene (LLDPE) matrix was modified with an organic peroxide and by a reaction with maleic anhydride (MAn) and was simultaneously compounded with untreated wood flour in a twin‐screw extruder. The thermal and mechanical properties of the modified LLDPE and the resulting composites we…
A simple scheme to extract the magnetization reversals of characteristic magnetic domains on nanofabricated periodic arrays from soft x-ray resonant magnetic scattering (SXRMS) data is presented. The SXRMS peak intensities from a permalloy square ring array were measured with field cycling using circularly polarized s…
We have obtained effective medium theory (EMT) interatomic potential parameters suitable for studying Cu-Mg metallic glasses. We present thermodynamic and structural results from simulations of such glasses over a range of compositions. We have produced low-temperature configurations by cooling from the melt at as slo…
The majority of cytosolic proteins in eukaryotes contain a covalently linked acetyl moiety at their very N terminus. The mechanism by which the acetyl moiety is efficiently transferred to a large variety of nascent polypeptides is currently only poorly understood. Yeast N(alpha)-acetyltransferase NatA, consisting of t…
We report on structural, magnetic, transport, and spin-polarization measurements of the Heusler alloys ${\mathrm{Co}}_{2}\mathrm{MnSi}$ and NiMnSb. Laue diffraction patterns confirm the single-crystal nature of ${\mathrm{Co}}_{2}\mathrm{MnSi}.$ Room-temperature transport measurements show a negative magnetoresistance…
