Experiments investigating the local viscoelastic properties of a chemically cross-linked polymer are performed on polyacrylamide solutions in the sol and the gel regimes using polystyrene beads of varying sizes and surface chemistry as probes. The thermal motions of the probes are measured to obtain the elastic and vi…

In this paper, we demonstrate, through asymptotic expansions, the convergence of a phase field formulation to model surfaces minimizing the mean curvature energy with volume and surface area constraints. Under the assumption of the existence of a smooth limiting surface, it is shown that the interface of a phase field…

Nickel–zinc ferrites of various compositions, Ni 1− x Zn x Fe 2 O 4 where x =0.2, 0.4, 0.5, and 0.6 investigated in the present work, have been prepared by the citrate precursor method. The complex permittivity (∈′− j ∈″) and permeability (μ′− j μ″) of the ferrites were measured at X‐band (8–12 GHz) microwave frequenc…

The magnetic properties of Fe/Ag granular multilayers were examined by SQUID magnetization and Mossbauer spectroscopy measurements. Very thin (0.2 nm) discontinuous Fe layers show superparamagnetic properties that can be tailored by the thickness of both the magnetic and the spacer layers. The role of magnetic interac…

We present an analysis of the time evolution of self-interstitial atom and vacancy (point defect) populations in pure bcc metals under constant irradiation flux conditions. Mean-field rate equations are developed in parallel to a kinetic Monte Carlo (kMC) model. When only considering the elementary processes of defect…

The heat flux autocorrelation functions of carbon nanotubes (CNT's) with different radii and lengths are calculated using equilibrium molecular dynamics with periodic boundary conditions. The thermal conductance of CNT's is also calculated using the Green-Kubo formula from linear response theory. By pointing out an am…

Low-temperature scanning tunneling spectroscopy is used to study electronic structure and dynamics of d-like surface states of trivalent lanthanide metals from La to Lu. The magnetic exchange splitting of these states is found to scale with the 4f spin multiplied by an effective exchange-coupling constant that increas…

The spectral representation is an effecient tool to explore electrical properties of material mixtures. It separates the contributions of geometrical topology and intrinsic properties of the constituents in the system. The aim of this paper is to derive an expression for the spectral density representation, which favo…

Abstract Radiation‐induced grafting of glycidyl meth‐acrylate (GMA) onto high‐density polyethylene (HDPE) and the radiation lamination of HDPE by bulk grafting of GMA were reported. The effects of irradiation dose, monomer concentration, and atmosphere on grafting were investigated. The extent of grafting initially in…

Synchrotron x-ray diffraction studies of a ${\mathrm{Sn}}_{2}{\mathrm{P}}_{2}{\mathrm{S}}_{6}$ crystal near the continuous ferroelectric phase transition have revealed that the critical scattering contains two independent components. The extraneous narrow component appears to originate from the strained, near-surface…
