Carbon nanotubes have two major assets for potential technological applications: their electronic properties and their extremely high mechanical strength, which make them excellent components of composites. Essential for such composites is the existence of favorable surface interactions between the nanotubes and the h…
Epoxy resins absorb significant quantities of moisture, typically 1 to 7% by weight for various formulations, which can greatly compromise their physical properties. It is known that polarity of the epoxy is a significant factor in determining the ultimate moisture uptake. However, the contribution from molecular topo…
The magnetization switching dynamics of biaxial single-domain homogeneous ferromagnetic particles, in which the two easy axes are perpendicular to each other, is simulated using a 4-state clock model. A zero-field mapping of the statics between the symmetric 4-state clock model and two decoupled Ising models is extend…
Thirty-nine morphologically different soil bacteria capable of degrading poly(beta-hydroxyalkanoate), poly(epsilon-caprolactone), poly(hexamethylene carbonate), or poly(tetramethylene succinate) were isolated. Their phylogenetic positions were determined by 16S ribosomal DNA sequencing, and all of them fell into the c…
CdO thin films were deposited on silica glass substrates by rf sputtering. The orientation of the crystal axis in the films was changed by varying the sputtering conditions. The (100)-oriented films were annealed under various conditions to change the carrier concentration. A blueshift of the optical absorption edge w…
Recently, it has been shown that the thermoelectric figure of merit is strongly enhanced in quantum wells and superlattices due to two-dimensional carrier confinement. We predict that the figure of merit can increase even further in quantum well structures with free-surface or rigid boundaries. This additional increas…
A new global measure of distortion for coordination polyhedra is proposed, based on a comparison of the ratios V s (circumscribed sphere)/ V p (polyhedron) calculated, respectively, for the real and ideal polyhedra of the same number of coordinated atoms which have the same circumscribed sphere. This formula can be si…
Recently, the viscosity of a predominantly amorphous silicon carbonitride (Si 1.7 C 1.0±0.1 N 1.5 ) alloy with an apparent glass‐transition temperature ( T g ) of 1400°–1500°C was studied. In this study, the creep behavior of silicoboron carbonitride (Si 2 B 1.0 C 3.4 N 2.3 ), which seems to have a T g value of >17…
At present the only surface electron microscope which allows true characteristic XPEEM (photoemission electron microscopy using synchrotron radiation) and structural characterization is the spectroscopic LEEM developed at the Technical University Clausthal in the early nineties. This instrument has in the past been us…
In earlier work, a nonlinear enthalpy-entropy compensation was observed for the solubility of phenacetin in dioxane-water mixtures. This effect had not been earlier reported for the solubility of drugs in solvent mixtures. To gain insight into the compensation effect, the behavior of the apparent thermodynamic magnitu…

Experiments were performed to examine the role of surface‐active polysaccharides in the formation of transparent exopolymer particles (TEP) by bubble adsorption in seawater. Filtered (1.0 µm, 0.45 µm) and ultrafiltered (0.1 µm, 100 kDa, and 10 kDa) seawater samples were bubbled in a glass foam tower. The neutral sugar…
Because of its good radiopacity, superelasticity, and shape memory properties, nickel-titanium (NiTi) is a potential material for fabrication of stents because these properties can facilitate their implantation and precise positioning. However, in vitro studies of NiTi alloys report the dependence of alloy biocompatib…
The low-field (LFMR) and high field (HFMR) magnetoresistance response of ceramic ${\mathrm{La}}_{2/3}{\mathrm{Sr}}_{1/3}{\mathrm{MnO}}_{3}$ (LSMO) samples having grain sizes diameters \ensuremath{\emptyset} ranging from 10 \ensuremath{\mu}m to 20 nm have been investigated. A limiting LFMR of about \ensuremath{\approx}…
Equations are derived and discussed that allow the computation of zero-field splitting (ZFS) tensors in transition metal complexes for any value of the ground-state total spin S. An effective Hamiltonian technique is used and the calculation is carried to second order for orbitally nondegenerate ground states. The the…
We present direct evidence that the giant magnetocaloric effect recently discovered in the ${\mathrm{Gd}}_{5}{(\mathrm{S}\mathrm{i}}_{1.8}{\mathrm{Ge}}_{2.2})$ alloy is associated with a field-induced first-order structural transition from a ${P112}_{1}/a$ monoclinic (paramagnetic) to a Pnma orthorhombic (ferromagneti…
Dense ZnO phases, obtained by static compression at room temperature, are studied by x-ray diffraction using synchrotron radiation. The initial wurtzite structure of ZnO is observed to transform to the rocksalt structure at $9.1\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.2\mathrm{GPa}$ with a large volume collapse of 16.7% on incre…
Very fine cobalt oxide xerogel powders were prepared using a unique solution chemistry associated with the sol‐gel process. The effect of thermal treatment on the surface area, pore volume, crystallinity, particle structure, and corresponding electrochemical properties of the resulting xerogels was investigated and fo…

We have investigated the storage capability of microporous carbon materials for gaseous hydrogen both theoretically and experimentally. In the grand canonical Monte Carlo calculation the hydrogen molecules are physisorbed by van der Waals interactions with the surface atoms of carbon slitpores and carbon nanotubes. At…
