We report here enhancement of nucleation and adhesion of diamond films on nondiamond substrates such as copper, stainless steel, and silicon substrates. The enhancement of nucleation is accomplished by pulsed laser irradiation which converts some of the amorphous carbon on the surface into the diamond phase or forms a…
Mn 3d states in ${\mathrm{Zn}}_{1\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}\mathit{x}}$${\mathrm{Mn}}_{\mathit{x}}$Y (Y=S,Se,Te) have been investigated using resonant synchrotron-radiation photoemission at the Mn 3p-3d threshold. We observe chemical trends due to anion substitution for the main Mn 3d photoemission feature at 3.5, 3.6, a…
Oriented single-crystalline thin films of NiO and ${\mathrm{Fe}}_{3}$${\mathrm{O}}_{4}$, and ${\mathrm{Fe}}_{3}$${\mathrm{O}}_{4}$/NiO superlattices have been grown on cleaved and polished substrates of MgO(001), using oxygen-plasma-assisted molecular-beam epitaxy. We report the growth mode and structural characteriza…
We report on high-resolution electron-energy-loss measurements of surface-plasmon losses on Ag(001) performed for crystal temperatures T in the range 100--400 K. Both the surface-plasmon frequency and linewidth are found to depend on T. The surface-plasmon frequency decreases with increasing T, nearly independently of…
Photoelectron spectroscopy reveals a striking correspondence between charge-density-wave-related phase transitions and modifications of the electronic structure in 1T-${\mathrm{TaS}}_{2}$. High-energy-resolution spectra indicate that the collapse of the Fermi surface is abrupt at the quasicommensurate-commensurate tra…
Electron-paramagnetic-resonance and electron-nuclear-double-resonance (ENDOR) methods are used to identify the negatively charged state of the isolated vacancy in electron-irradiated synthetic diamond crystals. The ${\mathit{T}}_{\mathit{d}}$ symmetry is confirmed by determining the arrangement of both nearest neighbo…
The magnetotransport phenomenon is investigated in α-type crystals of (BEDT-TTF) 2 I 3 which are metallized by applying quasi-hydrostatic pressures. At liquid helium temperatures, a fairly large magnetoresistance which rises in very low field and saturates above 0.5 T is observed. The effect of the magnetic field of 1…
Abstract Tensile properties of isotactic polypropylene filled with particulate kaolin fillers were evaluated in the composition range 0–60 wt % kaolin. Tensile modulus increased with filler concentration while breaking elongation and tensile strength decreased. The modulus increase was attributed to the restriction on…
Multilayered thin-film circuits in microelectronic devices are confined in dielectrics for insulation between layers. The confinement produces mechanical stress in the circuit. During operation, the stress can enhance or retard electromigration. This interaction has been analyzed using thermodynamics of irreversible p…
The electronic structure of ${\mathrm{Li}}_{\mathit{x}}$${\mathrm{Ni}}_{1\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}\mathit{x}}$O has been investigated using x-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS), bremsstrahlung isochromat spectroscopy (BIS), and model-Hamiltonian cluster calculations. The measurements support the conclusion that the Li…
The electronic structure of ${\mathrm{SrFeO}}_{3}$ has been investigated by x-ray photoemission and ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopy. We find that the ground state consists of heavily mixed ${\mathit{d}}^{4}$ and ${\mathit{d}}^{5}$L states, reflecting the large covalency. The Fe 3s core-level splitting, together…
We use time-, wavelength-, temperature-, polarization-resolved luminescence to elucidate the nature of the absorbing and ‘‘band edge’’ luminescing states in 32 Å diameter wurtzite CdSe quantum crystallites. Time-resolved emission following picosecond size-selective resonant excitation of the lowest excited state shows…
Abrasive wear is likely to occur whenever a hard asperity or a trapped hard particle is dragged across a softer surface, and it has been estimated that this form of wear contributes to as many as half of the wear problems that are met in industry. Such damaging hard particles may be external contaminants, products of…
Mechanical equipment used in BP operations is subjected to extremely adverse conditions, often in remote locations. Downtime due to wear and component failure can be very costly and the need to choose materials based upon an understanding of wear resistance is required. Selection is often based on the economics of com…
In this paper some recent studies on the friction of diamond are reported. These include a study of friction tracks by reflection electron microscopy (REM); analysis of wear debris using electron and x-ray diffraction, and infrared spectroscopy; friction experiments with various lubricants. These researches showed tha…
20 µm diameter spray-dried agglomerates made up of 210 nm zirconia particles have been individually tested by crushing between rigid plates using a modified nanoindenter. The results show that the agglomerates support considerable stress before deforming. Both the elastic and plastic deformations of the agglomerates h…
We study the adsorption of long, linear polymer chains from a melt or a semi-dilute solution onto a solid wall, the adsorption of a monomer on a surface site being irreversible. Using scaling arguments, we derive the concentration profile and the extension of the polymer layer, which has been washed out with pure solv…
UV absorption spectra of KCl:Sb 3+ crystals have been studied in detail. Six absorption bands are observed at 271.0, 210.8, 201.7, 199.4, 195.5 and 191.4 nm, the first five bands of which are attributable to the A, B, C 1 , C 2 and C 3 bands due to an s 2 to sp transition in the Sb 3+ ion, while the last is due to the…
Ni-Ti shape memory actuators respond to temperature changes with a shape change. Therefore, they are sensors and actuators. They combine large motion, rather high forces and small size, thus providing high work output. They usually consist of only a single piece of metal, e.g., a helical spring, and do not require sop…
The electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) of an Mn 2+ (S=5/2) impurity in the ferroelastic and para-elastic phase of BiVO 4 crystals with a single domain, grown by the Czochralski method, has been investigated using an X-band spectrometer. The rotation patterns of the resonance fields measured on the crystallographic…
