Relaxation phenomena in disordered systems are often described by stretched exponentials; such behavior has traditionally been explained by invoking statistical distributions. In hydrogenated amorphous silicon, the relaxation has been associated with dispersive diffusion of hydrogen, related to a distribution of energ…

The Si 2 N 2 O(s) compound is vaporized in a multiple Knudsen‐cell connected to a mass spectrometer. Comparison of SiO(g) and N 2 (g) pressures between different samples in the Si‐N‐O system, as triphasic or diphasic mixtures from Si(s), Si 3 N 4 (s), and Si 2 N 2 O(s), allows the determination of the SiO(g) evaporati…

A model for calculating the electron inelastic mean free path and stopping power in insulators in the 50 eV–10 keV energy range is presented. Both valence and core electron contributions have been considered. The valence part has been estimated following the dielectric theory modified to include the energy gap; the co…

Abstract A model was developed in order to calculate the texture evolution of a growing film with large atomic diffusion on the surface. The tendency for lowest surface energy was taken as the driving force for the evolution. The orientation dependent surface energy y was approximated by a function with a sharp minimu…

We report the first direct measurements of disclination density during shear flow of a nematic liquid crystal. Samples of 4,4′-n-pentylcyanobiphenyl, or 5CB, are initially aligned in the homeotropic configuration within a torsional shear cell using surface treatment with lecithin. For low shearing rates, the director…

We present a detailed theoretical discussion of the fundamental mechanisms for dc field assisted optically induced space charge fields and molecular reorientation effects in nematic liquid crystal films. In fullerene C60-doped film, persistent director axis reorientation is observed, allowing the recording of holograp…

One-fold-coordinated atoms in a covalent network mechanically soften a network if it is overcoordinated, and conversely, mechanically stiffen the network if it is undercoordinated. They play no part in network rigidity if the network is optimally coordinated. These features follow directly from constraint theory and p…

An approximate quasi-static theoretical analysis is presented for the behavior of punch-impact-loaded metal plates. Based on the principle of virtual work, load-deflection relationships are first obtained and then used to predict the energy-absorbing capabilities of plates subjected to low-velocity impacts that cause…

Abstract Three commercial styrenic triblock copolymers were subjected to planar extension in a lubricated channel die, as a model for the orientation that may occur during processing operations. Materials that contain cylinders of polystyrene show a pronounced orientation of the cylinder axis in the flow direction, as…

Abstract Crosslinked N-(2-pyridylmethyl)chitosan, N-(2-thienylmethyl)chitosan, and N-[3-(methylthio)propyl]chitosan were newly synthesized. The amino group of the active adsorption site of chitosan was protected by Schiff’s base formation prior to being crosslinked by 2-(chloromethyl)oxirane. The final chitosan deriva…

ZnO films have been grown by atomic layer deposition (ALD) using diethylzinc (DEZn) and H 2 O as reactant gases. Self-limiting growth occurred at substrate temperatures ranging from 105 to 165° C. Self-limiting growth was also achieved when the flow rates of DEZn and H 2 O were varied. It was found that the orientatio…

The stoichiometry of a series of low pressure chemical vapor deposition deposited SiOx films was determined using x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) by two different methods. The first, more traditional, method involved applying relative sensitivity factors to the integrated O 1s and Si 2p peaks, taking into consi…
