There has been much debate on the choice for the representative wall thickness for the thin-shell model, although this model has demonstrated remarkable success in capturing many types of behavior of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs), in determining the buckling strains under compression, torsion, and bending, in…
The machining of 3D microstructures in single-crystal artificial diamond is demonstrated with a focused ion beam (FIB)-assisted lift-off technique. A sacrificial buried layer is created with MeV ion implantation, followed by patterning of selected regions with the FIB technique; the sacrificial layer is then selective…
Gear Materials, Properties, and Manufacture explains how material-related properties and operating conditions affect the lifetime and performance of gears and the ways in which they fail. It begins with a review of the basic design and configuration of gears and related engineering considerations. It then examines the…
We present room temperature ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) studies of polycrystalline ||Pt/10 nm Cu/t Co/10 nm Cu/Pt|| films as a function of Co layer thickness (1 < t < 10 nm) grown by evaporation and magnetron sputtering. FMR was studied with a high frequency broadband coplanar waveguide (up to 25 GHz) using a flip-c…
We scrutinize the accuracy of the pseudopotential approximation in density-functional theory (DFT) calculations of surfaces by systematically comparing to results obtained within a full-potential setup. As model system we choose the CO oxidation at a RuO2(110) surface and focus in particular on the adsorbate binding e…
Evaluation of residual elastic strain within the bulk of engineering components or natural objects is a challenging task, since in general it requires mapping a six-component tensor quantity in three dimensions. A further challenge concerns the interpretation of finite resolution data in a way that is commensurate and…
We exploit a precipitation-redispersion mechanism for complexation of short chain polyelectrolytes with cerium oxide nanoparticles to extend their stability ranges. As synthesized, cerium oxide sols at pH 1.4 consist of monodisperse cationic nanocrystalline particles having a hydrodynamic diameter of 10 nm and a molec…
One of the first hurdles to be negotiated in the postgenomic era involves the description of the entire protein content of the cell, the proteome. Such efforts are presently complicated by the various posttranslational modifications that proteins can experience, including glycosylation, lipid attachment, phosphorylati…
The enhancement by water molecules of the catalytic activity of gas-phase and supported gold nanoclusters toward CO oxidation is investigated with first-principles calculations. Coadsorption of H(2)O and O(2) leads to formation of a complex well bound to the gold cluster, even on a defect-free MgO(100) support. Format…
The performance and service life of glass-or ceramic-filled polymeric composites depend on the nature of their resin, filler and interfacial phases as well as the efficacy of the polymerization process. The synergy that exists between the organic polymer matrix and the usually inorganic reinforcing filler phase is pri…
Discotic liquid crystals are unique nanostructures with remarkable electronic and optoelectronic properties. Triphenylene derivatives play a major role in the research on discotic liquid crystals. Following recent reviews of the chemistry of triphenylene‐based monomeric liquid crystals, this article now reviews the ch…
The present work reports the fabrication of self-organized porous oxide-nanotube layers on the biomedical titanium alloys Ti-6Al-7Nb and Ti-6Al-4V by a simple electrochemical treatment. These two-phase alloys were anodized in 1M (NH(4))(2)SO(4) electrolytes containing 0.5 wt % of NH(4)F. The results show that under sp…
This review focuses on recent developments in the theoretical, numerical and experimental study of slow dynamics in colloidal systems, with a particular emphasis on the glass transition phenomenon. Colloidal systems appear to be particularly suited for tackling the general problem of dynamic arrest, since they show a…
The effects of thermally annealed silver island films have been studied with regard to their potential applicability in applications of metal-enhanced fluorescence, an emerging tool in nano-biotechnology. Silver island films were thermally annealed between 75 and 250 degrees C for several hours. As a function of both…
Supercapacitors, also known as ultracapacitors or electric double-layer capacitors (ELDCs), are electrical energy storage devices, which offer high power density, extremely high cycling capability, and mechanical robustness. Due to their electrical performance, supercapacitors have a high potential to be used in indus…
The ultrasmoothness of diamond-like carbon coatings is explained by an atomistic/continuum multiscale model. At the atomic scale, carbon ion impacts induce downhill currents in the top layer of a growing film. At the continuum scale, these currents cause a rapid smoothing of initially rough substrates by erosion of hi…
[structure: see text] A potassium-selective fluorescent BODIPY-linked azacrown ether chemosensor has been synthesized using novel substitution reactions of 3,5-dichloroBODIPY. The indicator absorbs and emits light in the visible wavelength range. The dissociation constant Kd for the complex between K+ and the probe is…
A Raman scattering study of (Na 0.5 K 0.5 )NbO 3 (NKN)-LiNbO 3 (LN) lead-free piezoceramics has been carried out on nominal compositions of (1- x )NKN- x LN (0 ≤ x ≤0.70). The Raman spectra demonstrated a variety of changes with x , mainly classified as lattice translations involving motions of the alkaline cations an…
Electrospun collagen-blended poly(L-lactic acid)-co-poly(epsilon-caprolactone) [P(LLA-CL), 70:30] nanofiber may have great potential application in tissue engineering because it mimicks the extracellular matrix (ECM) both morphologically and chemically. Blended nanofibers with various weight ratios of polymer to colla…
This review discusses the state-of-the-art of research into biocorrosion and the biofouling of metals and alloys of industrial usage. The key concepts needed to understand the main effects of microorganisms on metal decay, and current trends in monitoring and control strategies to mitigate the deleterious effects of b…
