Previous work on the shock loading of metals, has shown that one-dimensional strain histories may be only be approximated in a loaded sample if it is to be recovered at late times to examine microstructure. This proceeds through the use of a system of partial momentum traps and soft, shock-recovery techniques. However…

Abstract Summary: In the present contribution, polyamide‐6 (PA‐6) solutions were prepared in various pure and mixed‐solvent systems and later electrospun with the polarity of the emitting electrode being either positive or negative. The PA‐6 concentration in the as‐prepared solutions was fixed at 32% w/v. Some of the…

The evaporation of water microdroplets from solid surfaces was studied using digital contact angle analysis techniques. An inclusive trend for the evaporation process, that is, a switch from the initial constant contact area to the subsequent constant contact angle mode was observed for all surfaces examined, includin…

Coarse-grained models that preserve atomistic detail display faster dynamics than atomistic systems alone. We show that this " indirect speed up" is robust: coarse-grained dynamic observables computed with time scaled by a constant factor are in excellent agreement with their underlying atomistic counterparts. Borrowi…

The nearest-neighbor antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model is considered for spins ${s}_{i}=\frac{1}{2}$ and 1 located on the vertices of the dodecahedron and the icosahedron, which belong to the point symmetry group ${I}_{h}$. Taking into account the permutational and spin-inversion symmetries of the Hamiltonian results…

Electron field emission from an isolated carbon nanotube (CNT) was performed in situ in a modified scanning electron microscope, over a range of anode to CNT tip separations, D, of 1–60μm. The threshold field required for an emission current of 100 nA was seen to decrease from a value of 42Vμm−1 at an anode to CNT tip…

While there is a large number of recent studies of Au nanocatalysts supported on metal oxides, low-temperature CO oxidation under an acidic environment has not yet been accomplished. Over a novel acidic Al-SBA-15 support, uniformly distributed gold nanoparticles with sizes approximately 2.7 nm were obtained by a succe…

Chalcogenide glasses have attracted considerable attention and found various applications due to their infrared transparency and other optical properties. The As–S–Se chalcogenide glass, with its large glass-formation domain and favorable nonlinear property, is a promising candidate system for tailoring important opti…

Methanol decomposition and oxidation on Pd(111) at millibar pressure were studied by in situ polarization-modulation infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy (PM-IRAS), on-line gas chromatography and pre- and postreaction X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Various dehydrogenation products such as methoxy CH3O,…

We consider a dynamical generalization of the Eshelby problem: the strain profile due to an inclusion or "defect" in an isotropic elastic medium. We show that the higher the oscillation frequency of the defect, the more localized is the strain field around the defect. We then demonstrate that the qualitative nature of…

We present dynamical properties of spin crossover compounds with photomagnetization, proposing a model in which the spin-crossover phenomena and magnetic ordering are incorporated in a unified way. By using this model, the characteristics observed in Prussian blue analogs are qualitatively well reproduced. We investig…

We present a fast Monte-Carlo algorithm for simulating epitaxial surface growth, based on the continuous-time Monte-Carlo algorithm of Bortz, Kalos and Lebowitz. When simulating realistic growth regimes, much computational time is consumed by the relatively fast dynamics of the adatoms. Continuum and continuum-discret…

Dispersion properties of electromagnetic crystals formed by small uniaxial resonant scatterers (magnetic or electric) are studied using the local field approach. The goal of the study is to determine the conditions under which the homogenization of such crystals is possible. Therefore the consideration is limited to t…

We have studied the influence of non-magnetic defects throughout the antiferromagnet Co_{1-y}O on the exchange bias (EB) in epitaxially grown Co_{1-y}O/Co bilayers. These defects are either substitutional or structural (twin boundaries and surface morphology) which both lead to an increase of the EB-field. We find a d…

We consider the scattering of electromagnetic waves by a left-handed cylinder---i.e., by a cylinder fabricated from a left-handed material---in the framework of complex angular momentum techniques. We discuss both the TE and TM theories. We emphasize more particularly the resonant aspects of the problem linked to the…

We suggest a new type of magnetic random access memory (MRAM) that is based on the phenomenon of the planar Hall effect (PHE) in magnetic films, and we demonstrate this idea with manganite films. The PHE-MRAM is structurally simpler than currently developed MRAM that is based on magnetoresistance tunnel junctions (MTJ…

We apply the density-functional technique to determine the lattice constant of GaAs supercells containing Mn_Ga, Mn_int, and As_Ga impurities, and use a linear interpolation to describe the dependence of the lattice constant a of Ga_{1-x}Mn_xAs on the concentrations of these impurities. The results of the supercell ca…
