The connection between the balance structure of the evolution equations of higher order fluxes and different forms of the entropy current is investigated on the example of rigid heat conductors. Compatibility conditions of the theories are given. Thermodynamic closure relations are derived.
Hyperpolarized 3He is used to nondestructively probe by NMR the structure of custom-made and commercial silica aerogels (97% and 98.5% porous). Large spin-echo signals are obtained at room temperature and very low magnetic field (2mT) even with small mounts of gas. Attenuation induced by applied field gradients result…
The implementation of the 2nd generation high-Tc superconductors in power applications, such as electrical transformers, motors and generators requires superconducting wires that are superior to copper Litz wires at cryogenic temperatures in terms of losses in time-varying magnetic field, as well as in engineering cur…
The incorporation of metal-ligand interactions into macromolecules imparts them with unique and potentially useful properties. We report novel macromolecules prepared via ATRP that contain activated esters for subsequent incorporation of terpyridine. The addition of lanthanide ions (Eu3+ and Tb3+) gave metal functiona…
This report is aimed at reviving the explanation of flicker-noise observations as the result of spectral measurement of very low-frequency but stationary narrow-band fluctuations named as infralow-frequency noise (ILF noise) [A. Ya. Shul'man. Sov. Tech. Phys. Lett. 7, 337 (1981), Sov. Phys. JETP 54, 420 (1981)]. Such…
The derivation of kinetic equation for one-particle distribution function $F(p,r,t)$ from BBGKY chain leads to the collision integral expressed in terms of the two-particle correlation function. The latter is in turn expressed by $F$ using Boltzmann's Stosszahlansatz that implies the neglect of initial one-time correl…
We report a phonon density of states measurement of $α$-ZnCl$_{2}$ using the coherent inelastic neutron scattering technique and a lattice dynamical calculation in four crystalline phases of ZnCl$_{2}$ using a transferable interatomic potential. The model calculations agree reasonably well with the available experimen…
The optical properties of metals arise both from optical excitation of interband transitions and their collective electronic, or plasmon, response. Here, we examine the optical properties of Cu, whose strong interband transitions dominate its optical response in the visible region of the spectrum, in a nanoshell geome…
This work establishes a generic model to study phonon transport and the thermal conductivity of periodic two-dimensional nanocomposites in the longitudinal direction (along the wire axis direction). More specifically, the generic model is applied to study the thermal conductivity of silicon-germanium composites with s…
Highly ordered mesostructures of tin oxide have been obtained via the block-copolymer-assisted assembly of crystalline tin oxide nanoparticle sols. The 3.5 nm tin oxide nanoparticles obtained using low-temperature synthesis can be dispersed without the use of any stabilizers and are assembled via an evaporation-induce…
A detailed computational study of the potential of mean force between a pair of spherical particles dissolved in a homopolymer melt has been performed using microscopic liquid state theory. The role of particle-to-monomer diameter ratio, degree of polymerization, strength and spatial range of monomer−particle attracti…
The piezoelectric effect in ferroelectric single crystals and ceramics is investigated considering intrinsic (lattice), and extrinsic (originating mainly from displacement of domain walls) contributions. The focus of the study of intrinsic properties is on piezoelectric anisotropy, which was examined using the Landau–…
The electronic properties of ZnO have traditionally been explained by invoking intrinsic defects. In particular, the frequently observed unintentional n-type conductivity has often been attributed to oxygen vacancies. We report first-principles calculations showing that the oxygen vacancy VO is not a shallow donor, bu…
Abstract New nonlinear‐laser properties of the non‐centrosymmetric cubic crystals CsLiMoO 4 and CsLiMoO 4 ·⅓H 2 O were studied by stimulated Raman scattering spectroscopy (SRS). Multiple Stokes and anti‐Stokes generation sidebands in the visible and near‐IR under picosecond laser pumping have been observed for the fir…
Abstract Sr 2 MgSi 2 O 7 :Eu 3+ nanotubes with red phosphor luminescent properties were successfully synthesized via a low‐temperature hydrothermal route in order to understand the underlying relationship between shape and luminescent properties. The one‐dimensional shape results in an obvious improvement of color pur…
This paper describes a gain-scheduled controller for a shape memory alloy (SMA) actuator. For accurate control of an SMA actuator, it is important to develop a precise model for the SMA. A model has been proposed based on concepts from physics. The equations include Joules heating - convectional cooling to explain the…
Scaled particle theory for a binary mixture of hard discorectangles and for a binary mixture of hard rectangles is used to predict possible liquid-crystal demixing scenarios in two dimensions. Through a bifurcation analysis from the isotropic phase, it is shown that isotropic-nematic demixing is possible in two-dimens…
Abstract Three series of semiflexible and rigid main‐chain polyesters containing photoreactive mesogenic units derived from p ‐phenylenediacrylic acid (PDA) and cinnamic acid have been synthesized by high‐temperature polycondensation. The thermal and mesomorphic properties of the polymers have been determined. The pho…
Abstract The aim of this study was on the one hand, to compare the fire behaviour of polyester/clay nanocomposites with that of the neat polymers added with the conventional flame retardant melamine isocyanurate (MIC) and on the other hand, to study the effect of the flame retardant added to the nanocomposites. Polyes…
We report an all-solid-state supercapacitor with device fabrication by a simple vacuum thermal evaporation method, which allows not only a multilayer stacking structure to further enhance the capacitance, but also permits the supercapacitor to be easily incorporated with other electronic devices, showing interesting c…
