Abstract. We study the tunneling of chiral electrons in graphene through a region where the electronic spectrum changes from the usual linear dispersion to a hyperbolic dispersion, due to the presence of a gap. It is shown that contrary to the tunneling through a potential barrier, the transmission of electrons is, in…

Abstract In this study, the effect of rheological behavior of epoxy during precuring on foaming was investigated. Dynamic time sweep test of epoxy/curing agent (100/1, w/w) was conducted. The viscosities as a function of time showed extremely rapid increase from the order of 10 2 –10 3 to 10 6 Pa · s at a certain time…

A key to the elucidation of protein functions are water–protein interactions. The determination of polarization-transfer pathways between water and immobilized proteins demonstrates that chemical exchange (sometimes followed by spin diffusion) is the dominant mechanism. At low temperatures or high spinning frequencies…

We have studied the temperature dependence of W(110) soft x-ray angle-resolved photoemission spectra excited at photon energies of 260 and 870 eV and between 300 and 780 K. The experimental results have been compared to both a free-electron final-state model and theoretical one-step model calculations of the photocurr…

Incorporation of carbon at the molecular level can create unusual amorphous and nanostructures of Si–C–O polymer‐derived ceramics by controlled pyrolysis of crosslinked polysiloxanes. These ceramics can resist crystallization to ultrahigh temperatures. In this work, we support earlier studies that the resistance to cr…

Abstract Underwater plasma and glow discharge electrolysis are interesting new methods for polymer surface functionalization. The achievable content of O‐containing functional groups exceeds that of oxygen glow discharge gas plasmas by a factor of two (up to ca. 56 O/100 C). The percentage of OH groups among all O‐con…
