Metastable κ-Al2O3 was produced by thermal treatment of γ-Al2O3 and then Ni catalysts were prepared on both κ-Al2O3 and γ-Al2O3. Catalysts containing both low (5 wt.%) and high (20 wt.%) amounts of Ni were tested for activity towards toluene hydrogenation and characterized with X-ray diffraction, temperature-programme…

Abstract The response of synthesized shape memory segmented polyurethanes (PUs) was affected by the addition of cellulose nanocrystals, as well as by the various conditions selected to carry out thermomechanical cyclic tests. The PUs were synthesized from an α‐hydro‐ω‐hydroxy‐poly(ethylene oxide), tolylene‐2,4‐diisocy…

Using event-driven molecular dynamics simulations, we quantify how the self diffusivity of confined hard-sphere fluids depends on the nature of the confining boundaries. We explore systems with featureless confining boundaries that treat particle-boundary collisions in different ways and also various types of physical…

The standard way to find the orbital occupation of Jahn-Teller (JT) ions is to use structural data, with the assumption of a one-to-one correspondence between the orbital occupation and the associated JT distortion, e.g., in O${}_{6}$ octahedron. We show, however, that this approach can be incorrect, e.g., for layered…

We investigate the waveguiding properties of a planar metamaterial slab using terahertz time-domain attenuated total reflection spectroscopy. The enhancement of evanescent waves is observed for transverse electric and transverse magnetic excitation and is caused by resonant excitation of waveguide modes in the slab. O…

The electrodynamics of a one-dimensional split-ring resonator (SRR) based nonlinear metamaterial is studied. The metamaterial is a one-dimensional periodic array of weakly coupled SRRs, with each SRR represented by a nonlinear resistor-inductor-capacitor (RLC) equivalent resonator circuit. Nonlinearity is introduced i…
