This paper introduces a phenomenological algorithm for simulation of rate independent hysteretic responses of shape memory alloys (SMAs) in cyclic uniaxial thermomechanical loads. The algorithm is proposed in a compact differential form that uses only seven well-defined material parameters and is adjustable to a parti…

In order to elucidate the driving forces which promote oriented in-plane crystallographic texture in SrRuO3 thin films deposited on stepped SrTiO3 substrates, a high-temperature x-ray analysis of both SrRuO3 thin films and powders was conducted. Structural phase transitions were found at temperatures near 350 °C and s…

We report the observation of visible cathodoluminescence (CL) of Tb ions implanted into amorphous AlN films produced by sputtering. The implanted samples were subjected to thermal annealing treatment up to 1100 °C to optically activate the incorporated ions. The results show that up to 1000 °C annealing temperature th…

Sr 0.25 Ba 0.75 Nb 2 O 6 (SBN) thin films postannealed at 750 °C for 30 min were epitaxially grown in the [00l] direction on p-type (100) Si substrates by the rf magnetron sputtering method. The capacitance–voltage (C–V) characteristics of Au/SBN/Si capacitors, which depend on postannealing conditions, were measured.…

Silicon carbide and carbon nanostructures were produced by pyrolysis of organosilane or aromatic compounds in nanoporous sol-gel silica glasses. Intense photoluminescence was observed in the visible and the near infrared regions, depending on material processing. Emission bands at 2.97, 2.67, 2.53, 2.41, 2.24, 2.09, 1…

Active uniform films of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) have been prepared by covalent binding on Si/SiO(2) or glass supports previously activated by silanization and succinylation. Labeling by fluorescent or by Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) probes was used to quantify the surface density of active groups and of horserad…

We investigate aging in glassy systems based on a simple model, where a point in configuration space performs thermally activated jumps between the minima of a random energy landscape. The model allows us to show explicitly a subaging behavior and multiple scaling regimes for the correlation function. Both the exponen…

We show that percolation and structural arrest transitions coexist in different regions of the phase diagram of a copolymer-micellar system and relate them to short-range intermicellar attraction. The intermediate scattering function shows a nonergodic transition along a temperature and concentration dependent line. A…

The effect of S segregation to grain boundaries on the intergranular embrittlement of Ni has been studied at room temperature using Auger electron spectroscopy and slow strain rate tensile tests. The grain-boundary S concentration was varied by time-controlled annealing of dilute Ni–S alloy specimens at 625 °C. The du…

In order to clarify the co-doping effect on oxide-ion conductivity in the fluorite-type structure, electrical conductivity was measured for the solid-solution system, Ce1-x-yLaxMyO2-δ (M = Ca, Sr). The electrical conductivity in the Ce1-xLaxO2-x/2 system showed a maximum value at x = 0.15, and then decreased gradually…

The effect of specific chemical functionalities on the adhesion of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) under flow was investigated using a set of well-characterized, chemically functionalized surfaces prepared by self-assembly of alkanethiolate monolayers on gold surfaces. Terminal functionalities included CH(3), CH(2…

Hyper-Raman spectroscopy is used to investigate low frequency vibrations of various silica glasses. A strong boson peak is observed. The corresponding modes are inactive in infrared and Raman spectra, and are nonacoustic in nature. The shape of this boson peak essentially matches the total density of vibrational state…

Fracture in quasi-statically driven systems is studied by means of a discrete spring-block model. Developed from close comparison with desiccation experiments, it describes crack formation induced by friction on a substrate. The model produces cellular, hierarchical patterns of cracks, characterized by a mean fragment…

We report strong instantaneous photoinduced absorption (PA) in the quasi-one-dimensional Mott insulator ${\rm Sr_2CuO_3}$ in the IR spectral region. The observed PA is to an even-parity two-photon state that occurs immediately above the absorption edge. Theoretical calculations based on a two-band extended Hubbard mod…

We present a comparative numerical study of the ordered and the random two-dimensional sine-Gordon models on a lattice. We analytically compute the main features of the expected high temperature phase of both models, described by the Edwards-Wilkinson equation. We then use those results to locate the transition temper…
