We have recently proposed [D. Cangialosi et al., J. Chem. Phys. 123, 144908 (2005)] an extension of the Adam-Gibbs [J. Chem. Phys. 43, 139 (1965)] theory, combined with the concept of self-concentration, to describe the temperature dependence of the relaxation time for the component segmental dynamics in miscible poly…

Using an ab initio total energy method, we have calculated the surface energy and surface stress of Cr2AlC(0001) with the configuration of the top layer as Al[(0001)Al], Cr[(0001)Cr], and C[(0001)C] atoms, respectively. Both the surface energy and surface stress of (0001)Cr are very close to (0001)C. While those of (0…
