The solid-state β→β + α transformation in titanium alloys leads to complex microstructures with feature spanning across a range of length scales. In order to develop a better understanding of the microstructural evolution process, a detailed characterization of the crystallography of α laths formed from the β phase in…
The friction between concentric carbon nanotubes sliding one inside the other has been widely studied and simulated, but not so far using external force as the driving variable. Our molecular dynamics (MD) simulations show that as the pulling force grows, the sliding velocity increases by jumps and plateaus rather tha…
Intersubband response in a superlattice subjected to a homogeneous electric field (biased superlattice with equipopulated levels) is studied within the tight-binding approximation, taking into account the interplay between homogeneous and inhomogeneous mechanisms of broadening. The complex dielectric permittivity is c…
A direct correlation is seen between the coercive field (HC) and the magnetic-field-dependent resistivity (MR) in SrMnO3/SrRuO3 superlattices of perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. The magnetoresistance shows a sharp jump at Hc for in-plane current and the out-of-plane magnetic field. Both HC and high-field MR also osc…
We show that the third-order optical response of disordered linear J-aggregates can be calculated by considering only a limited number of transitions between (multi-) exciton states. We calculate the pump-probe absorption spectrum resulting from the truncated set of transitions and show that, apart from the blue wing…
The centric diatom Thalassiosira pseudonana Hasle et Heimdal and the pennate diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum Bohlin possess genes with translated sequences homologous to high‐affinity ferric reductases present in model organisms. Thalassiosira pseudonana also possesses putative genes for membrane‐bound ferroxidase (…
Recycling of polystyrene can be done by mechanical, chemical, and thermal methods. High impact polystyrene is a promising material for mechanical recycling since its properties are not extremely affected even after multiple processing of upto nine cycles. Production of liquid products and gaseous products are highly d…
In a material, the existence and coexistence of phases with very different magnetic and electronic properties is both unusual and surprising. Manganites in particular capture the imagination because they demonstrate a complexity that belies their chemically single-phase nature. This complexity arises because the magne…
The results of investigation of kinetics of nanopores filling into membranes from aluminum oxide (pore diameter - 200 nm, porosity ~ 50%) at electrodeposition of copper and silver are described. It is shown, that at identical quantity of electricity passed through solutions, the degree of pores filling by metal (avera…
Two-component submonolayer growth on triangular lattice is qualitatively studied by kinetic Monte Carlo techniques. The hopping barrier governing surface diffusion of the atoms is estimated with an improved formula and using realistic pair interaction potentials. Realistic degrees of freedoms enhancing the surface dif…
A two dimensional amorphous material is modeled as an assembly of mesoscopic elemental pieces coupled together to form an elastically coherent structure. Plasticity is introduced as the existence of different minima in the energy landscape of the elemental constituents. Upon the application of an external strain rate,…
Composition dependence of crystallographic features of α″-martensite in Ti–Nb-based alloy was systematically examined in Ti–Xmol%Nb–3mol%Al alloy, where X is 10–30. One of the lattice deformation strains, η3, became 0 at the critical Nb concentration of 23 mol% and the sign of η3 changed across the composition. The ph…
The objective of this research is to use atomistic simulations to investigate the energy and structure of symmetric and asymmetric Σ3 ⟨110⟩ tilt grain boundaries. A nonlinear conjugate gradient algorithm was employed along with an embedded atom method potential for Cu and Al to generate the equilibrium 0 K grain bound…
Nanostructured biomaterials have tremendous potential for tissue engineering. However, the performance and integration of the nanomaterials in vivo are not well understood. A challenge in vascular tissue engineering is to develop optimal scaffolds and establish expandable cell sources for the construction of tissue-en…
Optical absorption, photoluminescence, thermoluminescence (TL) and photostimulated luminescence (PSL) studies on RbI:Tb(3+) crystals irradiated with gamma-rays is reported. Photoluminescence of these crystals exhibits characteristic Tb(3+) emissions, due to transitions from the (5)D(3) and (5)D(4) levels to various le…
The reversible binding reaction of oxygen to N,N'-ethylene bis(salicylideneiminato) cobalt(II) (CoS), to which a photoisomerizable stilbazole residue of copolymer 1 coordinated, was investigated. The E form of the stilbazole residues coordinating to CoS, (E)-1-CoS, showed photoisomerization into the Z form, (Z)-1-CoS,…
Bioprospecting for poly-b-hydroxyalkanoate (PHA)-accumulating micro-organisms was carried out in sugarcane growing areas of Colombia. They were isolated in unbalanced culture medium (high carbon/nitrogen ratio) with sucrose, fructose and glucose used as carbon source. PHAs producing bacteria were identified by stainin…
Organic-inorganic mesoporous materials of the MCM-41 type are important materials that can be prepared by either post-synthesis or one-pot synthesis procedures. A complete control of the characteristics at a local level is of the utmost importance in view of the applications of such materials. However, there are not m…
Since most chemists, biochemists, and chemical engineers are now involved in some phase of polymer science or technology, some have called this the polymer age. Actually, we have always lived in a polymer age. The ancient Greeks classified all matter as animal, vegetable, and mineral. Minerals were emphasized by the a…
Several aspects of half-metallic magnetism at finite temperature are discussed. Since NiMnSb is the simplest half-metal and the longest known it will be used as an example. Also it is a half-metal with remarkable little on-site Coulomb repulsion. Consequently it is a half-metal that is not notably corrupted by non-qua…
