Dense Si/SiC composites were fabricated via a conventional reaction‐bonding process, using oak charcoal that exhibited a honeycomb structure. The silicon melt was infiltrated into the porous oak charcoal (density of ~0.6 g/cm 3 ) while the sample was heated to 1700°C under vacuum (10 ‐3 torr (~0.133 Pa)), which result…

Pulsed laser deposition is a well established deposition technique for oxide thin films and heterostructures. The knowledge and control of the growth processes of oxide materials are important for the fabrication of high-quality epitaxial and heteroepitaxial thin-film structures. Because of the high oxygen pressure du…

The correlation between electron field-emission properties of diamond films prepared by the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process and the defect structure induced by boron doping was examined. Secondary ion mass spectroscopic analysis indicates that the solubility limit of boron in diamond is (B3+)2=5×1021 cm−3, whe…

Moving light-emitting diodes are envisioned as a possible application of the work presented here. Microfabricated bilayer hinges of polypyrrole (PPy) and gold are used to rotate and position silicon plates. This is achieved by electrochemically altering the oxidation state of PPy, thus causing a significant volume cha…

Abstract Gum and black-filled vulcanizates of styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) and natural rubber (NR) were prepared. Strengths in uniaxial tension were determined for specimens with and without edge-cuts. Normal tensile strengths (no cut) of the gum NR, filled NR and filled SBR were similar; whereas, with pre-cuts, eve…
