We derive the mode spectrum of the thermal boundary resistance between two bodies having a temperature difference ΔT. A general expression of the time τ that defines the resistance is derived as the equilibrium autocorrelation of ΔT integrated over time. A further decomposition of this autocorrelation yields the resis…

Perovskite-type Nd1−xLaxCrO3 (0≤x≤1.0) polycrystalline samples were synthesized using solid state reaction. Structural studies indicate that the lattice parameters, metal–oxygen bond lengths, and angles of Nd1−xLaxCrO3 strongly depend on the La content. Two magnetic transition temperatures, Cr3+ antiferromagnetic orde…

We investigated the valence band structure of graphite oxide by photoelectron spectroscopy at the Pohang Accelerator Laboratory, Korea. The typical sp 2 hybridization states found in graphite were also seen in graphite oxide. However, the π state disappeared near the Fermi level because of bonding between the π and ox…

Polymeric materials are complex samples, as they contain various groups of additives, compounding ingredients, and fillers. An important group of additives are stabilizers. Efficient stabilization is essential especially for polypropylene, as it is sensitive to oxidation and radical attack due to the numerous tertiary…

We investigate the effect of asymmetric grain boundaries (GBs) on the shock response of Cu bicrystals with molecular dynamics simulations. We choose a representative Σ3⟨110⟩ tilt GB type, (110)1/(114)2, and a grain size of about 15 nm. The shock loading directions lie on the GB plane and are along [001¯] and [221¯] fo…

In this work, we use molecular dynamics simulations to predict the thermal conductivities of perfect and nanoporous few-quintuple Bi2Te3 thin films. We find the dimensional crossover behavior of thermal transport and a minimum thermal conductivity at three quintuple layers at room temperature, and we attribute it to t…

CdS with triangular-like shape, nanorods, and multipods were synthesized via a solvothermal method by using dodecylamine as both solvent and surfactant. The decomposition of the cadmium-dodecylamine complex to form CdS nuclei is the key step for the synthesis of shape-determinant CdS. The cadmium concentration always…
