The rheological properties of non-Brownian carbon nanotube suspensions are measured over a range of nanotube volume fractions spanning the transition from semidilute to concentrated. The polymer-stabilized nanotubes are "sticky" and form a quiescent elastic network with a well-defined shear modulus and yield stress th…

The crystallization of monodisperse linear polyethylene confined in nanoporous alumina is investigated with the calorimetric measurements. We observe a drastic change in crystallization behavior, specifically nucleation, with a decrease in the pore diameter. Crystallization in relatively larger pores with the diameter…

The authors introduce a novel approach to study the propagation of high frequency acoustic phonons in which the generation and detection involves two spatially separated superlattices $\sim 1 {\rm μm}$ apart. Propagating modes of frequencies up to $\sim 1 {\rm THz}$ escape from the superlattice where they are generate…

The properties of slow crack growth in brittle materials are analyzed both theoretically and experimentally. We propose a model based on a thermally activated rupture process. Considering a 2D spring network submitted to an external load and to thermal noise, we show that a preexisting crack in the network may slowly…

We have used spin-polarized scanning tunneling spectroscopy to observe the spin-polarization state of individual Fe and Cr atoms adsorbed onto Co nanoislands. Both of these magnetic adatoms exhibit stationary out-of-plane spin-polarization due to their direct exchange interaction with the substrate, but the sign of th…

We propose a one-dimensional model based on the Burton-Cabrera-Frank equations to describe the electromigration-induced step bunching instability on vicinal surfaces. The step drift resulting from atomic evaporation and/or deposition is explicitly included in our model. A linear stability analysis reveals several stab…

Abstract Environment‐sensitive Bragg reflectors are built using functional mesoporous thin films as building blocks. Tuning of optical properties is achieved by changing the composition or porosity of the slabs or the introduction of planar defects. Sorption or capillary condensation of molecules into the pore system…

The aim of this study is to probe the influence of water vapor environment on the microtribological properties of a forestlike vertically aligned carbon nanotube (VACNT) film, deposited on a silicon (001) substrate by chemical vapor deposition. Tribological experiments were performed using a gold tip under relative hu…

We have investigated the spin dynamics of a high-mobility two-dimensional electron system (2DES) in a GaAs--Al$_{0.3}$Ga$_{0.7}$As single quantum well by time-resolved Faraday rotation (TRFR) in dependence on the initial degree of spin polarization, $P$, of the 2DES. From $P\sim 0$ to $P\sim 30$ %, we observe an incre…

The transverse ultrasound absorption in cubic crystals with positive and negative anisotropies of the second-order elasticity moduli is analyzed. The scattering of the ultrasound by defects and during anharmonic scattering processes is considered. The transverse ultrasound absorption is analyzed as a function of the w…

A description of non-collinear magnetism in the framework of spin-density functional theory is presented for the exact exchange energy functional which depends explicitly on two-component spinor orbitals. The equations for the effective Kohn-Sham scalar potential and magnetic field are derived within the optimized eff…

Cavitation microstreaming is a well-known phenomenon; however, few flow visualizations or measurements of the velocity fields have been conducted. In this paper micro-PIV (particle image velocimetry) measurements and streak photography were used to study the flow field around a single and two oscillating bubbles resti…

Different ionic liquids (ILs) have been used as dopants in conducting polymer aqueous dispersion (PEDOT:PSS) leading to films of PEDOT:PSS/IL with enhanced electrical conductivity (up to 136 S cm-1). After the addition of the ILs, AFM images of the films show a three-dimensional conducting network of highly conducting…
