Low-resolution transmittance and reflectance spectra of high-quality chemical-vapor deposition (CVD) diamond windows were measured in the infrared in the 2.5-500-mum wavelength range (20-4000 cm(-1)). High-resolution measurements on a window with nearly parallel surfaces show well defined interference fringes at low f…

The continuity equations expressing conservation of string defect charge can be used to find an explicit expression for the string velocity field in terms of the order parameter in the case of an O(n) symmetric time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau model. This expression for the velocity is used to find the string velocity p…

We report experimental measurements of Barkhausen noise on Fe_{64}Co_{21}B_{15} amorphous alloy under tensile stress. We interpret the scaling behavior of the noise distributions in terms of the depinning transition of the domain walls. We show that stress induced anisotropy enhance the effect of short-range elastic i…

We draw attention to the fact that the popular but unproven hypothesis of shock-driven sonoluminescence is incompatible with the reported synchronicity of the single bubble sonoluminescence (SBSL) phenomenon. Moreover, it is not a necessary requirement, since we show that the sub-shock dynamic heating in gas bubble ca…

Physicochemical characteristics and functional properties of five commercially available chitins and five chitosans were investigated. Physicochemical characteristics (nitrogen, ash, degree of deacetylation, bulk density, and viscosity) differed with products. In functional properties, dye binding capacity differed de…

We examine the motion and deformation of air bubbles and viscous drops through vertical cylindrical capillaries in the presence of an imposed pressure-driven flow. Experimental measurements of the terminal velocity of drops and bubbles are reported for a wide range of drop sizes in a variety of two-phase systems, and…

A new chiral push−pull quinonoid compound, 7,7-bis(3( R )-hydroxypyrrolidino)-8,8-dicyanoquinodimethane (BHPDQ), has been synthesized. Powder studies indicate an appreciable second harmonic generation (SHG) capability, and crystal structure analysis reveals extensive intermolecular H-bonding in BHPDQ. The influence of…

The acid−base properties of oxides are well described by the surface complexation model, which superposes a thermodynamic description of acid−base reactions at the oxide surface with a double-layer model of the electrostatics at the solid−solution interface. So far, however, this model has not been extended to include…

Recent reports have shown that cyclic peptides composed of an even number of alternating d - and l -amino acids can adopt flat, disklike conformations and stack through backbone−backbone hydrogen-bonding to form extended nanotubular structures. The present work details a general strategy for limiting this self-assembl…

The coarsening dynamics of three-dimensional islands on a growing film is discussed. It is assumed that the origin of the initial instability of a planar surface is the Ehrlich-Schwoebel step-edge barrier for adatom diffusion. Two mechanisms of coarsening are identified: (i) surface diffusion driven by an uneven distr…

We study the evolution of solidification microstructures using a phase-field model computed on an adaptive, finite element grid. We discuss the details of our algorithm and show that it greatly reduces the computational cost of solving the phase-field model at low undercooling. In particular we show that the computati…
