A Stressed Liquid Crystal (SLC) is proposed for application as a single panel retardance element in a Fourier transform (FT) spectrometer. Volume alignment in SLCs increase the maximum retardance and subsequent FT resolution by creating greater path lengths. Here, the relationship between transmission and shear for th…

HRXRD is a very sensitive and non destructive technique to determine the strain in thin layer materials such as electron guides or the strain induces by the second order package of SOCs. In reciprocal space mapping (RSM), it is possible to separate the elastic component of the scattered intensity from the diffuse one.…

Femtosecond x-ray diffraction provides direct insight into the ultrafast reversible lattice dynamics of materials with a perovskite structure. Superlattice (SL) structures consisting of a sequence of nanometer-thick layer pairs allow for optically inducing a tailored stress profile that drives the lattice motions and…

Previous studies on the calcitic seminacre of the craniid brachiopod Novocrania have never fully resolved the crystallography of its constituent calcite crystals. With this aim, we studied the tablets forming the foliated-like and seminacre layers of this brachiopod by means of scanning electron microscopy coupled to…

Abstract A novel plasma stamp has been developed allowing selective plasma treatment and coating of flat surfaces using dielectric barrier discharges at atmospheric pressure. The stamp consists of a flat carrier material covered with photoresist. The resist is structured to form cavities in which the plasma is burning…

We present the results of imaging cylinder-forming poly(styrene- block -methyl methacrylate) diblock copolymer at temperatures high enough to show polymer domains evolving. Atomic force microscopy movies of morphological polymer evolution are analyzed to shed light on the formation of domains as well as the mechanism…

Optical response of a rare earth (RE)-doped SiO2 layer is known to deteriorate markedly at room temperature due to RE clustering. The key challenge is therefore to probe the ongoing processes at the microscopic level and the subsequent impact on the luminescence properties with increasing RE concentration. Here, we re…

Abstract Biodegradable copolymers of poly(lactic acid)‐block‐poly( ε ‐caprolactone) (PLA‐ b ‐PCL) were successfully prepared by two steps. In the first step, lactic acid monomer is oligomerized to low molecular weight prepolymer and copolymerized with the ( ε ‐caprolactone) diol to prepolymer, and then the molecular w…

Recent efforts have been devoted to design new materials with exposed metal sites for hydrogen storage. Different from bulk AlN having the wurtzite structure and fourfold coordination, the Al sites in AlN cages are unsaturated and have threefold coordination, resulting in a storage weight percentage of 4.7%, while the…

We report results of molecular-dynamics simulations for the effects of atomic hydrogen chemisorption on the structure and deformation of single-walled carbon nanotubes. Upon hydrogenation, the nanotubes expand and the degree of expansion depends on the hydrogen coverage. There is a critical hydrogen coverage, ∼25%–30%…

This work investigates the possibility of using plasmas to treat high boiling point and viscous liquids (HBPVL) and cokes resulting as secondary streams from the refining of oil. For their revalorisation, the use of microwave (MW) induced plasmas of water is proposed, as an alternative to more conventional processes (…
