We revisit the standard elastic-plastic fracture theory developed by Hutchinson, Rice, and Rosengren (HRR) and reproduce, by a simple scaling argument, the stress singularity around the crack tip derived by HRR. From the singular behavior thus reconfirmed, we propose a general scaling relation which guarantees an effe…

Te-free Si x Sb 100 −x ( x = 5, 15, 25, 42) thin films are proposed for electronic phase-change memory application and the oxygen doping effect on Si 15 Sb 85 film is investigated in detail. Improved electrical properties are obtained when the oxygen partial pressure ratio is 10%. The crystalline resistivity of Si 15…

We studied the isotope effect of phonon in the Fe-based superconductors using a phenomenological two band model for the sign-changing $s$-wave ($\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}s$-wave) state. Within this mean-field model, we showed that the large isotope effect is not inconsistent with the $\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}s$…

In cardiovascular tissue engineering, mechanical stimulation of tissue-engineered constructs is known to improve tissue properties. During tissue culture, the mechanical properties of the tissue construct change. To impose a predefined deformation protocol and to avoid negative effects of excessive strain, it is desir…

The coating of medical implants by polymeric films aims at increasing their biocompatibility as well as providing a durable matrix for the controlled release of a drug. In many cases, the coating is divided into a primer layer, which bridges between the medical implant and the drug-eluting matrix. The primer coating m…

After decomposition of thiourea (TU) in the presence of various metal cations to form metal sulfide nanoclusters, an autocatalytic reaction between TU and the surface of the as-formed metal sulfide dominates the further growth of these metal sulfide nanoclusters. This autocatalytic surface growth is self-correcting, l…

Recently, Kolboe and Svelle pointed out that second-order Møller-Plesset perturbation theory (MP2) incorrectly predicts a barrierless reaction of the benzenium-ethene complex to the ethyl-1H-benzene cation in contrast to other considered quantum chemical methods [J. Phys. Chem. A 2008, 112, 6399]. In a subsequent Lett…

Dendritic polystyrene with hydroxyl functional groups at each branch point was synthesized using convergent living anionic polymerization. The polymer samples were formed by the slow addition of a 1/10 molar mixture of 4-vinylstyrene oxide/styrene to living polystyryllithium chains in a benzene/THF solution. The 4-vin…

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) sonicated in o -dichlorobenzene and benzyl chloride show anomalous behavior when characterized with a Raman microscope and ultraviolet−visible−near-infrared spectroscopy. SWCNTs treated with the aforementioned solvents lead to a small but distinct increase in the Raman D peak, w…
