Horizontally grown and vertically aligned carbon nitrogen (CNx) nanotubes encapsulated with Fe2O3 particles were synthesized on silicon substrates. Electron field-emission measurements were carried out on these CNx nanotubes using both the top-emission and side-emission geometries, and compared with that of the usual…

We study electromigration in copper lines encapsulated in an organosilicate glass. A line fails when a void near the upstream via grows to a critical volume. We calculate the void volume as a function of time. The statistical distribution of the critical volume (DCV) is taken to be independent of testing variables, su…

An enhanced Raman signal is observed from individual suspended single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) and from isolated SWNTs grown on an n-doped polycrystalline silicon film used in standard silicon processing. The radial breathing modes of the Raman spectra taken from suspended SWNTs exhibit narrow linewidths, which i…

The inhibition of corrosion of steel in 1 M HCl solution by newly synthesised pyrazole derivatives has been studied by weight loss and polarisation techniques at 308°K. Its inhibitory power is compared to N,N′‐bis(3,5‐dimethylpyrazol‐1‐yl‐methyl)‐pentanolamine (Bipyr). The results obtained reveal that tripyrazole exhi…

Abstract The non‐catalytic hydrogenation of natural rubber (NR) and two epoxidized NRs (ENRs) i.e. ENR‐22 and ENR‐40 containing 22 and 40 mol% of epoxide, respectively, was carried out using p ‐toluenesulfonylhydrazide (TSH) as a hydrogenating agent. A two‐fold molar excess of TSH compared with unsaturated units of th…

We derive a simple equation to predict the center-wavelength shift of a Fabry-Perot type narrow-bandpass filter by using the conventional characteristic matrix method and the elastic strain model as the temperature varies. We determine the thermal expansion coefficient of substrate from the zero-shift condition of the…

Abstract In this paper we describe a new environmentally friendly method to promote the stereoselective epoxidation of Δ 4 ‐ and Δ 5 ‐steroids. Metalloporphyrins efficiently catalyze the epoxidation reactions of 17β‐acetoxy‐4‐androstene ( 1 ), 4‐cholestene ( 2 ) and 3β‐acetoxy‐5‐cholestene ( 3 ) in the presence of H 2…

We present a class of finite elements for capturing sub-grid localization processes such as shear bands and void sheets. The elements take the form of a double surface and deform in accordance with an arbitrary constitutive law. In particular they allow for the development of displacement and velocity jumps across vol…

We report true left-handed (LH) behavior in a composite metamaterial consisting of a periodically arranged split ring resonator (SRR) and wire structures. We demonstrate the magnetic resonance of the SRR structure by comparing the transmission spectra of SRRs with those of closed SRRs. We have confirmed experimentally…
