The photoconductivity (PC) of TlGaS 2 layered single crystals was investigated in the 77−300 K temperature, 1000−2500 lx excitation intensity, 10−25 V applied voltage, and 415−535 nm wavelength ranges. Both the alternating current photoconductivity (ac-PC) and the spectral distribution of the photocurrent were studied…
The oxidation processes of Cu(111) with a hyperthermal O2 molecular beam (HOMB) were studied using high-resolution x-ray photoemission spectroscopy in conjunction with a synchrotron radiation source. The O-uptake curves were precisely measured at ∼300 K when irradiating with 2.3 and 0.6 eV HOMB on a Cu(111) surface. A…
High-efficiency hybrid systems (HS) based on the coupling of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) and gas turbines (GT) are analyzed in this paper through the use of two different approaches: simplified and detailed SOFC models. The simplified model, already presented by the authors, is very useful for HS design and off-des…
Abstract The suitability of alternative fatty food simulants on overall migration determination under thermal treatment and microwave heating were analysed for different plastic materials commonly used for packs subjected to thermal treatment or microwave heating. Elevated temperature and microwave heating increased o…
Mesoscale silicon pillars are formed when silicon wafers are irradiated by a nanosecond excimer laser operating at 308 nm and incident fluence of ∼3 J cm−2. The morphology of the pillars responds to the chemical composition of the gas phase above the Si surface. Postprocessing can also be used to change the structure…
The critical resolved shear stress (CRSS) for a dislocation percolating through penetrable obstacles with different pinning strength is derived analytically. The stability of dislocation–obstacle configurations is determined by evaluating the configurational entropy. The analytical results imply a superposition law fo…
The surface modifications produced by treatment of a synthetic vulcanized styrene-butadiene rubber (R1) with oxidizing (oxygen, air, carbon dioxide) and nonoxidizing (nitrogen, argon) RF plasmas have been assessed by ATR-IR and XPS spectroscopy, SEM, and contact angle measurements. The effectiveness of the treatment d…
Liposomes sustain considerable interest to develop ways to fabricate drug delivery systems that would provide a good release without inducing any systemic reactions into the host. However, in many cases, liposomes injected into the blood stream are rapidly cleared from the system and only a fraction reaches the target…
Subcritical crack growth in terms of velocity–stress intensity factor ( v – K ) curves in lead zirconate titanate (PZT) were experimentally characterized on poled and unpoled compact tension specimens. The poled specimens were tested under open‐ and short‐circuit electrical boundary conditions, which resulted in an in…
Among all the transition metal sulfides, ruthenium sulfide (RuS2) has been shown to be the most active catalyst for the hydrodesulfuriztion processes. Using X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), we have found a novel approach for the preparation of RuS2 nanoislands on an Au(11…
The momentum and energy dependence of the weight distribution in the vicinity of the one-electron spectral-function singular branch lines of the 1D Hubbard model is studied for all values of the electronic density and on-site repulsion U . To achieve this goal, we use the recently introduced pseudofermion dynamical th…
A vacuum arc plasma evaporation (VAPE) method using both oxide fragments and gas sources as the source materials is demonstrated to be very effective for the preparation of multicomponent oxide thin films. Highly transparent and conductive Al-doped ZnO (AZO) thin films were prepared by the VAPE method using a ZnO frag…
A web application for inferring potentially stabilizing non-bonding interactions in macromolecular structures from input atomic coordinate data is described. The core software, called Monster, comprises a PERL wrapper that takes advantage of scripts developed in-house as well as established software in the public doma…
Abstract New trends of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) are reviewed in studies of the electronic excited states conducted during this decade. The studies include EPR of excited triplet states in fluid solution and excited multiplet states in a triplet–radical pair system. Together with these new areas, advanced…
Several hot‐pressed and sintered SiC variants were impacted with tungsten‐carbide (WC) spheres at velocities up to 1700 m/s. Ballistic response curves of areal density penetrated as a function of impact velocity were generated to compare ceramics for ballistic applications. Observed response curve features are shown t…
The extremely thermophilic bacterium Thermus thermophilus HB27 synthesizes lysine through alpha-aminoadipate (AAA). In this study, a T. thermophilus gene encoding the enzyme that catalyses transamination of AAA was cloned as a mammalian kynurenine/AAA aminotransferase (Kat2) gene homologue. A T. thermophilus mutant wi…
The aqueous, lyotropic liquid-crystalline phase behavior of the alpha-helical polypeptide, poly(N(epsilon)-2-[2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethoxy]acetyl-lysine) (1), has been studied using optical microscopy and X-ray scattering. Solutions of optically pure 1 were found to form cholesteric liquid crystals at volume fractions th…
We report results on the observation of energy transfer between CdTe nanocrystals and AlexaFluor dye molecules. The nanocrystals were attached to the surface of polystyrene latex beads of 450 nm in diameter by means of the layer-by-layer technique. Energy transfer was observed as signal enhancement in confocal imaging…
Indium molybdenum oxide (IMO) films were made from an oxidized target with In2O3 and MoO3 in a weight proportion of 99:1 by using a high density plasma evaporation with the substrate maintained at room temperature. Effects of the oxygen contents of 1%–28.6% on the structural and optoelectronic properties of the IMO fi…
We report electronic structure calculations within density functional theory for the hydrated superconductor and compare the results with the parent compound . We find that the intercalation of water into the parent compound has little effect on the Fermi surface outside of the predictable effects of expansion, in par…
