In order to model the evolution of concentration profiles induced by ion beam mixing in thick layers, Monte Carlo simulations were performed to study in detail the transition probability controlling the evolution of this profile within the binary collision approximation. We demonstrate that this transition probability…
An ${\text{Ag-AlO}}_{x}\text{-Al}$ sandwich structure is used to investigate the electronic excitation induced by ${\text{Ar}}^{+}$ ions at the surface of the top 15 nm Ag film. The internal electron emission yield, i.e., the number of electrons emitted per impinging ion into the bottom Al film, is determined as a fun…
Europium (Eu(3+))-doped epoxy-based resin Norland optical adhesive (NOA) polymers have been prepared and characterized optically. Quartz capillary tube encapsulated Eu(3+)-doped NOA polymeric waveguides have been fabricated via a simple withdrawal molding technique. Optical amplification at 612 nm wavelength has been…
Diglycidyl ether of Bisphenol A-based epoxy resin were toughened with varying weight fractions of thermoplastic hydroxyl-terminated polyurethane elastomer by solution blending, and their composites were prepared over an extended range of fly ash composition. Various physicomechanical properties such as tensile and fle…
A theoretical composite-molecule (CM) model is adopted for evaluating the electronic excited states and excitonic couplings of cofacial conjugated dimers where the contributions of charge-transfer (CT) exciton, unavailable by the commonly used supermolecular approach due to the inadequate basis set construction, can b…
9 –12%Cr creep-resistant ferritic-martensitic steels are candidates for structural components of Generation IV nuclear power plants. However, they are sensitive to softening during low cycle fatigue and creep-fatigue tests, which leads to the destabilisation of the tempered martensite microstructure, inducing a decrea…
We describe a novel process of laser-assisted fabrication of surface structures on doped oxide glasses with heights reaching 10 - 13% of the glass thickness. This effect manifests itself as a swelling of the irradiated portion of the glass, and occurs in a wide range of glass compositions. The extent of such swelling…
The effect of prior cyclic deformation at 565°C has been determined on the creep properties of 1CrMoV in tests at 565°C and stresses responsible for rupture in both the upper and lower shelf ductility regimes. The low alloy bainitic steel cyclic softens due to strain controlled low cycle fatigue, and the degree of sof…
Motivated by recent experiments on ${\text{Ba}}_{3}{\text{Cr}}_{2}{\text{O}}_{8}$, a new spin-dimer compound with spin-1/2 moments of ${\text{Cr}}^{5+}$ ions, we theoretically investigate the field-induced magnetic ordering in this material in view of the Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) of triplet excitations (triplo…
Abstract Antimony contamination has been reported in drinking water from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles. Micro‐X‐ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis has been used to identify the distribution and chemical form of residual antimony used as a catalyst in the manufacture of PET bottles. The results are consistent w…
Abstract The equivalent circuit constants of permanent magnet synchronous motors are needed in the calculation of operation characteristics, construction of a control system, etc. These constants can be computed from the data on structural form and materials. However, measurements are necessary to obtain highly precis…
Recognition by strapped system: Cryptand-type calix[4]pyrrole are shown to exhibit a highly enhanced affinity towards anionic guests as compared to other reported calix[4]pyrroles (see figure). The results obtained provide some insights as to how calix[4]pyrrole-based anion receptors may be designed to achieve higher…
The creep strength of martensitic 9% chromium steels is strongly coupled with the formation and interaction of different precipitate populations like MX (Nb,V)(C,N), M23C6, laves phase and modified Z-phase. Changes in microstructure can be correlated to a change in creep strength. Within this work, a boron-nitrogen ba…
Abstract Amyloid fibrils are considered to play causal roles in the pathogenesis of amyloid‐related degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, type II diabetes mellitus, the transmissible spongiform encephalopathies, and prion disease. The mechanism of fibril formation is still hotly debated and remains an imp…
We previously found that photoirradiation of an acetone/water mixture containing olefins affords the corresponding methyl ketones highly efficiently and selectively via a water-assisted C-C coupling between the acetonyl radical and olefins (Org. Lett. 2008, 10, 3117-3120). The reaction proceeds at room temperature wit…
Grafted polymers on the surface of lipid membranes have potential applications in liposome-based drug delivery and supported membrane systems. The effect of polymer grafting on the phase behavior of bilayers made up of single-tail lipids is investigated using dissipative particle dynamics. The bilayer is maintained in…
In the present work, we have studied from a theoretical perspective the geometry and electronic properties of the series of related compounds 2,5-bis(phenylethynyl)-1,3,4-thiadiazole, 2,5-bis(phenylethynyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole, and 2,5-bis(phenylethynyl)-1,2,4-triazole as candidates for electron-conducting polymers and c…
Barium (Ba) minerals identified in clinopyroxene rocks from the Myanmar jadeitite area include celsian, hyalophane, and hydrated barium aluminum silicate (an inferred barian zeolite). The hyalophane and hydrated barium aluminum silicate occur as interstitial phases and sometimes crosscut jadeite crystals, indicating t…
TaN is a potential candidate for metal gates. BCl3-based plasma is used to pattern metal gates because it has a high selectivity over Si substrate and capable of etching metal oxides (native oxides on metal gates and high-k dielectrics). During metal gate etch in inductively coupled plasma reactor, the authors found t…
Microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) is basically an electrochemical corrosion in which the extent and severity of the corrosion process is determined by organisms such as, but not limited to, bacteria. This work will discuss both electrochemical and mechanical features of MIC of three types of steels of frequ…
