Unusual copolymers were prepared by Candida antarctica Lipase B (Novozyme-435) catalyzed copolymerization of ω-pentadecalactone (PDL) with trimethylene carbonate (TMC). Atypical solid-state properties were revealed by thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and X-ray diffraction analyses.…

The response of alloys based on the intermetallic compound NiTi to high-strain-rate and shock loading conditions has recently attracted attention. In particular, similarities between it, and other shape memory materials such as the alloy U–6%Nb in the propagation of the plastic wave in Taylor cylinders are of signific…

Dendron rod−coil molecules are a novel supramolecular building block, comprising a dendritic unit, a rodlike unit, and a coil unit ( J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2001, 123, 4105). It was proposed that in solution these molecules assemble into ribbonlike aggregates of high aspect ratio. We report here on the self-assembly of DRC-…

Small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) experiments were conducted on a 25 vol % blend of a poly(ethylene- block -head-to-head propylene) copolymer (PE−PP) in polyisobutylene (PIB). PE/PIB and PE/PP chains are incompatible (the Flory−Huggins interaction parameter χ > 0), while PIB and PP are compatible (χ < 0) at low te…

We present a pair of nonorthogonal tight-binding (TB) models for germanium within the NRL-TB approach. One uses an ${\mathrm{sp}}^{3}$ basis, and is optimized for total-energy calculations by fitting to the total energy and band structures of several high-symmetry lattice structures. The other uses an ${\mathrm{sp}}^{…

Water expands upon freezing, has minima in its volume, heat capacity, and isothermal compressibility with temperature, and shows signs of a first-order phase transition when supercooled. We present an analytical molecular theory that can account for these behaviors. It suggests that local network formation and hydroge…

It is argued that the vacancy–oxygen (VO) complex (A center) in Ge has three charge states: double negative, single negative, and neutral. Corresponding energy levels are located at Ec−0.21 eV (VO−−/−) and Ev+0.27 eV (VO−/0). An absorption line at 716 cm−1 has been assigned to the asymmetrical stretching vibration mod…

BaMgAl 10 O 17 : Eu 2+ (BAM) phosphors used for plasma display panels (PDP) are compelled to be exposed to an oxidizing environment at about 500 °C, which is currently unavoidable in the actual manufacturing process of PDP. We investigated the mechanism of the luminance degradation of BAM caused by the annealing at 50…

Polydispersity is believed to have important effects on the formation of liquid crystal phases in suspensions of rodlike particles. To understand such effects, we analyze the phase behavior of thin hard rods with length polydispersity. Our treatment is based on a simplified Onsager theory, obtained by truncating the s…

Microstructural features evolving in crystalline solids from diffusion-reaction kinetics of mobile components depend crucially on the dimension of the underlying diffusion process which is commonly assumed to be three-dimensional (3D). In metals, irradiation-induced displacement cascades produce clusters of self-inter…

The irreversible decay of the spontaneous polarization above the phase-transition temperature is a limiting factor in any application of ferroelectric crystals. Here we show that electric fields applied at high temperatures induce a preferred direction in the crystal which is stable even after repeated heating and coo…

Using rf magnetron sputtering, we have grown low resistivity (∼3×10−4 Ω cm), high transparency (>80%) indium–tin–oxide thin films with near zero stress on polyester substrates, near room temperature. We concluded from analysis of sputtered ions and atoms that bombardment by energetic (>70 eV) negative oxygen ions caus…
