Using synchrotron-based x-ray diffraction we have studied the behaviour of two different preparations of the super hard material AlMgB14 at pressures up to 41 GPa. Analysis of lattice parameter data from the high-pressure x-ray measurements provides a bulk modulus (K) of 196 GPa and a pressure derivative of the bulk m…

This study employs a facile method to selectively fabricate a pair of ZnO films on glass slide with controllable transparency and conductivity. The resultant surfaces both show static superhydrophobicity with alike contact angles of 155° and 158° but exhibit a significant difference under dynamic conditions. The slidi…

Despite the unparalleled mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes (CNTs), experiments have revealed large scattering which could be attributed to structural defects. How two neighboring defects may interact and influence the mechanical properties of CNTs is still unclear. Here, interactions between a Stone-Wales (SW)…

An intensive electrocaloric effect in the uniaxial ferroelectric NH4HSO4 near the second-order phase transition (T 1 ≈ 271 K) is studied. A high electrical conductivity of the NH4HSO4 crystal is revealed, and its temperature dependence is investigated. The results obtained are analyzed together with the data available…

It has been established that deviations from stoichiometry during the growth of ZnSe crystals result in point defects, which influence its electronic properties. We report on detailed photoluminescence results and their systematic analysis for ZnSe nanowires. We studied photoluminescence from vapor-phase grown undoped…

A normal coordinate analysis on nitrazepam has been carried out with a set of symmetry co-ordinates following Wilson's F-G matrix method. The potential constants evaluated for the molecule are found to be in good agreement with literature values thereby conforming the vibrational assignments. To check whether the chos…

An Al-Co-Ce alloy system has been developed with three important protection abilities when deployed as a metal coating over high-strength aerospace alloys such as AA2024-T351 (UNS A92024). These alloy coatings can serve as a local corrosion barrier with tunable anodic properties, act as a sacrificial anode (i.e., its…

ABSTRACT The in vitro and in vivo research results show very low corrosion rate of Ti bioalloys. Among different sources of corrosion, the general and localized corrosion in vitro and fretting corrosion in vivo are the most expected degradation processes. Three possible mechanisms of dissolution of Ti biomaterials inc…

We demonstrate five methods of arranging smectite clay tactoids into layered arrangements as a part of the quest for the biomimetic simulation of nacre. Provided the clay is not fully exfoliated, the tactoids retain sufficient rigidity for alignment and we present micrographs which demonstrate these ordered structures…

The present experimental and theoretical study investigates the effect of nickel on the phase balance and resulting properties of a 22Cr duplex stainless steel. The decrease in nickel was balanced by nitrogen and manganese additions. It was found that a minimum nickel content was required to maintain mechanical and co…

This paper presents a Monte Carlo (MC) modeling of heat conduction in heavily doped (p+ and n+) porous silicon (PS) films known as mesoporous silicon (meso-PS). A three-dimensional pore network generator is developed to better reproduce the structure of low porosity (fv<50%) meso-PS. The submicron scale heat co…
