Starting with the mathematical modeling of classical problems of hysteretic phenomena, the author provides an insight into the physics of the inverse hysteresis, higher order reversal loops, accommodation, viscosity, creep, wasp-waisted loops and hysteretic coupled systems. Adopting a novel approach, he presents the T…
A new variation to the dry gel conversion method for the preparation of zeolite is introduced, where the conversion to zeolite was accomplished under water vapor below the saturation condition. The dry gel was made either by vacuum concentration or by surfactant flocculation from a silica precursor sol after the preli…
Recently, there has been significant interest in materials with simultaneously negative permeability and permittivity, also referred to as negative refractive index metamaterials. Metamaterials comprised of straight metal wires and split ring resonators operating in the long wavelength regime exhibit a microwave frequ…
A double-walled carbon nanotube is used to study the radial charge distribution on the positive inner electrode of a cylindrical molecular capacitor. The outer electrode is a shell of bromine anions. Resonant Raman scattering from phonons on each carbon shell reveals the radial charge distribution. A self-consistent t…
Carbon nanotubes are nanometer-scale materials with important properties, but their use in nanofabrication will require further development of methods for controlled positioning at well-defined locations on surfaces. We have devised an approach for specifically localizing single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) onto 1-…
We present a multitechnique (EPR, XANES, EXAFS, and IR of adsorbed NO) study of the coordination and oxidation chemistry of copper species hosted in mordenite (MOR) zeolite under different conditions. Starting from a 100% Cu 2+ −MOR, the progressive thermal activation causes first the loss of water molecules from the…
We develop continuum theory of self-assembly and pattern formation in metallic microparticles immersed in a poorly conducting liquid in DC electric field. The theory is formulated in terms of two conservation laws for the densities of immobile particles (precipitate) and bouncing particles (gas) coupled to the Navier-…
Summary form only given. Samples of gold nanospheres and nanorods are investigated in a conventional dark-field microscope For spectral investigations, the scattered light from single particles is focused with the microscope onto the entrance slit of a spectrometer coupled to a cooled CCD camera. This dark-field spect…
The interaction between the magnetic dopants (Mn) and 2-dimensional hole gas (2DHG) in Mn \ensuremath{\delta}-doped GaAs/Be-doped $p$-type AlGaAs heterostructures, where holes were supplied from the Be-doped AlGaAs to the Mn \ensuremath{\delta}-doped GaAs, realized ferromagnetic ordering. The Curie temperature ${T}_{\…
Stress-induced voiding is observed in Cu-based, deep-submicron, dual-damascene technologies where voids are formed under the via when the via connects to a wide metal lead below it. The voiding results from the supersaturation of vacancies that develops due to grain growth when the Cu is not properly annealed prior to…
New poly( l -lactide) (PLLA)−poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) multiblock copolymers were prepared by using the coupling reaction between the bischloroformates of carboxylated PLLA with PCL-diol in the presence of pyridine. All the copolymers were characterized by 1 H NMR and GPC and investigated further by using DSC, TGA, S…
For thermally fluctuating 2-d systems, like solid surfaces, time and space correlation of the local surface height diverge logarithmically in the rough phase, whereas saturation is obtained below the roughening transition. A 2-d Langevin formalism, allowing to recover for long times and/or large distances these asympt…
We compute the anharmonic shift of the phonon frequencies in MgB2, using density functional theory. We explicitly take into account the scattering between different phonon modes at different q-points in the Brillouin zone. The shift of the E2g mode at the Gamma point is +5 % of the harmonic frequency. This result come…
Optical absorption and transverse Kerr effect spectra, resistivity and magnetoresistance of La$_{1-x}$Sr$_{x}$CoO$_3$ ($x=0.15, 0.25, 0.35$) films have been studied. The temperature dependencies of the optical and magneto-optical properties of the films exhibit features, which can be attributed to the transition of th…
Extensive density-functional theory calculations, and taking into account temperature and pressure, afford a comprehensive picture of the behavior and interaction of oxygen and Ag(111), and provides valuable insight into the function of silver as an oxidation catalyst. The obtained phase diagram reveals the most stabl…
We describe experiments that probe the response to a point force of 2D granular systems under a variety of conditions. Using photoelastic particles to determine forces at the grain scale, we experimentally show that disorder, packing structure, friction and texture significantly affect the average force response in gr…
We demonstrate highly efficient spin injection at low and room temperature in an AlGaAs/GaAs semiconductor heterostructure from a CoFe/AlOx tunnel spin injector. We use a double-step oxide deposition for the fabrication of a pinhole-free AlOx tunnel barrier. The measurements of the circular polarization of the electro…
Dielectric studies are described aimed at providing an understanding of the charge storage and transport of an epoxy resin containing TiO/sub 2/ nanoparticles. Comparative results for conventionally filled composites are given, and the results discussed in terms of the underlying physics. It is shown that nanometric f…
The actuation of a single-wall carbon nanotube (CNT) mat, an electrically conducting polyaniline (PAn) film and a composite of these two materials has been investigated in NaNO 3 (1 M), NaCl (1 and 3 M) and HCl (1 M) solutions. The expansion and contraction patterns of the PAn, CNT and CNT/PAn samples are similar in t…
For electrical machine designers, core loss data are usually provided in the form of tables or curves of total loss versus flux density or frequency. These can be used to extract the loss coefficients of the core loss formulas. In this paper, three currently available formulas are discussed and compared with the loss…
