In situ Raman spectroscopy was employed to investigate corrosion of a zirconium-niobium alloy in air-saturated water at a pressure of 15.5 MPa and temperatures
A new approach to lattice Boltzmann simulation is introduced which avoids the direct numerical determination of the single-particle distribution from the

We present the results of a molecular dynamics study of a partial monolayer of self-assembled octadecanethiol molecules. The correlations between various
This work describes the comparison of experimental measurements of electron beam spread in the environmental scanning electron microscope with model predictions
In this second paper of a 2-part series dealing mainly with NMR characterization of nylon-6/clay nanocomposites (NnCs) having nominally 5 mass percent clay
Several exfoliated nylon-6/clay nanocomposites (NnCs) were investigated and compared with pure nylon-6 using solid state NMR, both proton and 13C. NnCs had
The tensile creep behavior of a gas-pressure-sintered silicon nitride containing silicon carbide, was carbide was characterized at temperatures between 1375 and
X-ray topography provides a unique view of the surfaces of single-crystal samples, both before and after fracture. The diffraction topograph, which is sensitive

We propose a probabilistic methodology for developing improved load factors in standard provisions for wind loads, and use it to examine: the cause of the
The p-p-T relationships were measured for binary hydrocarbon mixtures containing carbon dioxide (CO 2) and ethane (C 2H 6). Temperatures ranged from 200 K to
We present a first-principles scheme for calculating a core-hole potential for core electron excitations. The scheme incorporates atomic and solid-state
This paper describes a collaborative effort by industry, government, and academia to evaluate the use of design/information technology (D/IT) on building and

Small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) experiments were performed to determine the conformational behavior of unattached deuterated linear poly(dimethylsiloxane)
New engineered artificial and metamaterials combine ferroelectrics, ferrites, wires, resonant rings, and ferromagnetic materials to obtain a desired response

The structure and electronic transport properties of polymer-derived pristine-and boron-doped silicon-carbonitride ceramics have been studied, with particular
This paper describes the construction, calibration, and use of a precision capacitance-based metrology for the measurement of the thermal and hygrothermal
The thermally reversible gelation of a polymer solution is investigated. The dynamics slows down upon cooling in these systems much like glass-firming liquids
