More than tips: The electrochemical properties of the tips and sidewalls of carbon nanotubes can be compared when specific regions are selectively masked with a nonconducting polymer coating (e.g. polystyrene) such that the electrolyte has access to one region only (see scheme). Surprisingly electrochemistry at carbon…

At interfaces between polar and nonpolar perovskite oxides, an unusual electron-doping has been previously observed, due to electronic reconstructions. We report on remote hole-doping at an interface composed of only polar layers, revealed by high-resolution hard x-ray core-level photoemission spectroscopy. In LaAlO3/…

We present a first-principles study of heat conduction in a class of models which exhibit a new multi-step local thermalization mechanism which gives rise to Fourier's law. Local thermalization in our models occurs as the result of binary collisions among locally confined gas particles. We explore the conditions under…

The symmetry group analysis is applied to classify the phonon modes of $N$-stacked graphene layers (NSGLs) with $AB$ and $AA$ stacking, particularly their infrared and Raman properties. The dispersions of various phonon modes are calculated in a multilayer vibrational model, which is generalized from the lattice vibra…

Biodegradable shape memory polymers are exciting materials, based on a combination of controlled degradation and triggered actuation that enables the design of unique medical devices. However, their synthesis requires precise control over thermomechanical properties often not possible with common building blocks for b…

The indirect hydrogen storage capabilities of Mg(NH 3) 6Cl 2, Ca(NH 3) 8Cl 2, Mn(NH 3) 6Cl 2, and Ni(NH 3) 6Cl 2 are investigated. All four metal ammine chlorides can be compacted to solid tablets with densities of at least 95% of the crystal density. This gives very high indirect hydrogen densities both gravimetrical…

We consider a tight-binding model on the honeycomb lattice in a magnetic field. For special values of the hopping integrals, the dispersion relation is linear in one direction and quadratic in the other. We find that, in this case, the energy of the Landau levels varies with the field B as epsilon(n)(B) ~ [(n+gamma)B]…

The perovskite manganites with generic formula RE(1-x)AE(x)MnO(3) (RE = rare earth, AE = Ca, Sr, Ba and Pb) have drawn considerable attention, especially following the discovery of colossal magnetoresistance (CMR). The most fundamental property of these materials is strong correlation between structure, transport and…

We show that electronegativity can be used to effectively identify the hardness of crystal materials on the basis of a new microscopic model for hardness. Bond electronegativity is proposed to characterize the electron-holding energy of a bond, which is the intrinsic origin of hardness. Applying this model to $c\mathr…

The universal character of the recent experimentally found master curve for the magnetic entropy change, Δ S M , in studies of the magnetocaloric response of materials is analytically justified by using scaling arguments. The validity of the obtained scaling relations is checked against experimental data as well as th…

This work proposes an acoustic structure feasible to engineer that accomplishes the requirements of acoustic cloaking design recently introduced by Cummer and Schurig (2007 New J. Phys. 9 45). The structure, which consists of a multilayered composite made of two types of isotropic acoustic metamaterials, exactly match…

It has been found that the composites of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and epoxy resin could greatly enhance damping ability while the stiffness is kept high. In this paper, carbon nanotube enhanced epoxy resin is fabricated. A testing apparatus for obtaining composite dynamic properties is set up. In particular, the loss f…

Tensile tests were conducted on nylon 6/clay nanocomposites, with and without POE-g- MA rubber particles, over a range of temperatures below the glass transition and strain rates 10-4 to 10-1 s-1. It was shown that the yield strength varied with temperature and strain rate as the Eyring equation thus providing results…

Corrosion-resistant nickel-based Alloy 600 is susceptible to a lead-induced stress corrosion cracking (PbSCC) in aqueous solutions. The lead species incorporated into the oxide at the alloy surface degraded the passivity, and caused the PbSCC. Effects of lead on the properties of the surface passive films were investi…
