A stress-oriented formation of plate-shaped Guinier–Preston (GP) zones in single crystals of a Cu–0.9 wt.% Be alloy aged at 200°C has been found. A compressive stress applied in the [001] direction assists the formation of the GP zones perpendicular to the [001] axis, while a tensile stress results in the preferential…
To develop low melting point filler metals for brazing TiNi shape memory alloy (SMA) and stainless steel (SS), a series of Ag–22Cu–Zn–Sn (wt-%) filler metals have been studied. Using differential thermal analysis (DTA) analysis, the melting temperatures of Ag–22Cu–Zn–Sn filler metals were determined. The results show…
In this article, we explain the contrast-formation mechanisms of the scanning-electron microscope for insulating samples under a nonpenetrating irradiation condition. Our fundamental point is that the detected secondary-electron signal current is only modified by the surface potential distribution. We propose a semiem…
Abstract Summary: We report on the preparation and properties of soy protein isolate (SPI)‐sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)‐polycaprolactone‐triol (PCL‐T) films obtained by solvent casting from solutions containing variable amounts of SDS or SDS/PCL‐T. It is shown that the mechanical and thermal properties, and the morpho…
The taxonomy and biostratigraphy of the fossil marine diatom resting spore genera Dicladia Ehrenberg, Monocladia Suto and Syndendrium Ehrenberg are discussed. The three genera are probably the fossil resting spores of Chaetoceros and Chaetoceros-related genera, and are characterized by dichotomous branching processes…
We have demonstrated a new type of lasing mode in a dye-doped 100-µm-thick nematic liquid crystal layer sandwiched between two polymeric cholesteric liquid crystal films functioning as a photonic crystal. The fabricated cell exhibits several characteristic dips in the transmittance spectrum in addition to fine fringes…
Abstract Well‐defined ω‐cholesteryl poly( n ‐hexyl isocyanate) (PHIC–Chol), as well as diblock copolymers of n ‐hexyl isocyanate (HIC) with styrene, PS‐ b ‐PHIC [PS = polystyrene; PHIC = poly( n ‐hexyl isocyanate)], and triblock terpolymers with styrene and isoprene, PS‐ b ‐PI‐ b ‐PHIC and PI‐ b ‐PS‐ b ‐PHIC (PI = pol…
Abstract The liquid crystal acryl compounds, in which the molecular directions were aligned by the rubbing method, were polymerized by UV irradiation, to provide the free‐standing aligned films of 200‐μm thickness. The relation between the thermal conductivity and the aligned molecular direction of the films was inves…
The diatom assemblages within phototrophic biofilms in secondary treatment tanks of the Fiumicino Airport (Rome, Italy) wastewater treatment plant were investigated. Qualitative and quantitative comparisons were made between assemblages in sedimentation and chlorination tanks, on the tank walls and artificial substrat…
The electrochemical behavior and mechanisms of carbon steel cavitation corrosion in neutral sodium chloride (NaCl) aqueous solution were studied by means of the cavitation corrosion apparatus, using the methods of weight loss, electrochemistry, and the observation of scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results sho…
The differential theory of diffraction of light by an arbitrary object described in spherical coordinates is developed. Expanding the fields on the basis of vector spherical harmonics, we reduce the Maxwell equations to an infinite first-order differential set. In view of the truncation required for numerical integrat…
Background: Ultrasmall superparamagnetic particles of iron oxide are magnetic resonance contrast agents that are gaining use in the CNS. These agents accumulate in phagocytic cells such as reactive astrocytes and macrophages. Aim: We aimed to describe the use of ferumoxtran-10, an ultrasmall superparamagnetic particle…
Atomic layer deposition, a highly uniform and conformal deposition process, was utilized to fill trenches of various high aspect-ratio nano-grating structures. Dielectric (e.g., SiO2), metal (e.g., aluminum), and dielectric/metal (e.g., Au∕SiO2) hybrid nano-gratings with a linewidth down to <50nm and an aspect ratio u…
Recent experiments show that the long looked for thermotropic biaxial nematic phase is finally stabilized in a low mass liquid crystalline system. Inspired by this experimental observation we concentrate on some theoretical issues concerned with this phase. In particular we show that the simplest Lebwohl–Lasher biaxia…
An approach to the refinement of crystal structures by reduced experimental data is developed. The anisotropic method of intermeasurement minimization is used to refine the parameters determining the absorption of radiation in the cases when some factors are not known with sufficient accuracy: the specimen sizes, the…
NiTi shape memory alloys can be used as actor materials and perform mechanical work; they can also be used for damping applications. In combination with polymers their functionality can be increased. Shape memory effects of NiTi alloys are associated with large strains and in a NiTi/polymer‐composite, the polymer can…
In order to evaluate the effect of processing conditions, composites of MaterBi-Y matrix with 15wt% sisal fibers are obtained with different temperature profiles and speeds of rotation of the screw, using a twin-screw extruder. Three different temperature profiles are selected. The speeds of rotation are 25, 60, and 8…
This paper reports the results from the condition assessment of 12- and 24-kV cross-linked polyethylene (XPLE) cables using a technique based on dielectric spectroscopy initially developed at KTH in Sweden. The work aims to examine whether the method could detect water tree degradation for the second generation medium…
Abstract The copper‐containing hydrotalcites (Cu‐HTLcs) are synthesized under microwave irradiation, the effect of rare earth elements (RE) on the synthesis of Cu‐HTLcs, wherein RE stands for rare earth elements, e.g., La, Y, Sm and Ce, is also investigated in the present work. The hydrotalcite structure of the synthe…
Taking advantage of both the self-organizing characteristics and the amphiphilic property of poly(styrene-block-ethyleneoxide) (P(S-b-EO)), we have realized one-step fabrication of nanoelectrode ensembles (NEEs). By choosing the electrolyte solution elaborately, only the poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) segment in the P(S-b…
