<div class="htmlview paragraph">A 1D+1D numerical model describing the ammonia based SCR process of NO and NO<sub>2</sub> on vanadia-titania catalysts is presented. The model is able to simulate coated and extruded monoliths. Basing on a fundamental investigation of the catalytic processes a reaction…
Abstract Summary: Plasma deposited allylamine films were studied by “in situ” ToF‐SSIMS, XPS and NEXAFS Spectroscopy before exposure to ambient air. The influence of external plasma parameters such as duty cycle, plasma power, and monomer flow rate on (i) unsaturation, (ii) branching and cross‐linking, (iii) nitrogen…
The thermal conductivity of [011¯0]-oriented ZnO nanobelts 19–41Å in size is characterized over the temperature range of 500–1500K using the Green-Kubo approach. Values obtained are one order of magnitude lower than that for bulk ZnO single crystal. Surface scattering of phonons and the high surface-to-volume ratios o…
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) efficiency assessment of truncated tetrahedral Ag nanoparticle arrays with different vertical dimensions prepared by nanosphere lithography provides the experimental evidence of the electromagnetic (EM) coupling sensitivity to the nanoparticle heights. It is demonstrated that t…
Noncovalent interactions between purified HiPCO single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNT) and a [60]fullerene-pyrene dyad, synthesized through a regioselective double-cyclopropanation process, produce stable suspensions in which the tubes are very well dispersed, as evidenced by microscopy characterization. Cyclic voltammet…
Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (CE-MRI) is a dynamic technique for imaging vasculature. However, the currently used gadolinium (Gd) chelates, such as Gd-DTPA, restrict the time window for image acquisition due to their rapid elimination from blood and their rapid diffusion into the extravascular space, w…
A transient lateral photovoltaic effect (LPVE) has been observed in p-La0.7Sr0.3MnO3∕n-Si heterojunctions. Under the nonuniform irradiation of a pulsed laser, the LPVE shows high sensitivity to the spot position on the La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 surface. A mechanism based on the well established model for the LPVE in conventional…
Superelastic NiTi shape memory alloy (SMA) wires and bars are studied to determine their damping and recentering capability for applications in the structural control of buildings subjected to earthquake loadings. These studies improve the knowledge base in regard to the use of SMAs in seismic design and retrofit of s…
We report that the H2 storage method using Ni-mediated CNTs is a viable candidate for fuel cell applications. It is demonstrated that a single Ni coated on the carbon nanotubes’ (CNT) surfaces can store up to 5 H2. In this respect, at high Ni-coverage, Ni-dispersed single-walled CNTs are considered to be capable of re…
A method for synthesizing bulk nanocrystalline Cu by an electric brush-plating technique is reported. This brush-plated nanocrystalline Cu has a fine (26nm) and quite uniform grain structure and predominant high-angle grain boundaries. A pronounced strain rate sensitivity of the stress with an m of 0.104 and the Coble…
Electrospinning produces polymeric fibers with diameters in the range of 10μm–10nm by accelerating a charged polymer jet under a high electric field. We report the preparation of conducting nanocomposite fibers of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) by electrospinning. The fibers…
By the combination of optical tweezer manipulation and digital video microscopy, the flexural rigidity of single glycolipid "nano" tubes has been measured below the transition temperature at which the lipid tubules are transformed into vesicles. Consequently, we have found a clear reduction of the rigidity obviously b…
We report the structural and longitudinal piezoelectric responses (d33) of epitaxial Pb(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O3 (PZT) films on (001) SrTiO3 and Si substrates in the thickness range of 40nm–4μm. With increasing film thickness the tetragonality of PZT was reduced. The increase in d33 value with increasing film thicknesses was a…
We analyze a piece-wise linear elastic model for the propagation of a crack in a stripe geometry under mode III conditions, in the absence of dissipation. The model is continuous in the propagation direction and discrete in the perpendicular direction. The velocity of the crack is a function of the value of the applie…
n - Zn O ∕ p - Ga N : Mg heterojunction light emitting diode (LED) mesas were fabricated on c-Al2O3 substrates using pulsed laser deposition for the ZnO and metal organic chemical vapor deposition for the GaN:Mg. High crystal quality and good surface morphology were confirmed by x-ray diffraction and scanning electron…
Abstract Summary: The study and development of polymeric composite materials, especially using lignocellulosic fibers, have received increasing attention. This is interesting from the environmental and economical viewpoints as lignocellulosic fibers are obtained from renewable resources. This work aims to contribute t…
Single-phase multiferroic BiFeO3 thin films were grown on (111) Pt∕Ti∕SiO2∕Si substrates via a simple sol-gel spin-coating technique, as evidenced by x-ray diffraction. The thickness of the films can be controlled by the number of layers spin coated. Scanning electron microscope confirmed good surface and cross-sectio…
Current-voltage measurements have been made at room temperature on a Si-rich silicon oxide film deposited via Electron-Cyclotron Resonance Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (ECR-PECVD) and annealed at 750 - 1000$ ^\circ$C. The thickness of oxide between Si quantum dots embedded in the film increases with the i…
The influence of lateral adsorbate diffusion on the dynamics of the first-order phase transition in a two-dimensional Ising lattice gas with attractive nearest-neighbor interactions is investigated by means of kinetic Monte Carlo simulations. For example, electrochemical underpotential deposition proceeds by this mech…
The excitonic absorption spectrum for a disordered quantum well in presence of exciton-acoustic phonon interaction is treated beyond the Markov approximation. Realistic disorder exciton states are taken from a microscopic simulation, and the deformation potential interaction is implemented. The exciton Green's functio…
