This paper presents experimental results and theoretical calculations to evaluate the effects of Pb contamination on the solidification behavior of Sn-x mass Bi...
Microcracking due to thermal expansion anisotropy is considered based on a finite element model. A polycrystalline microstructure is generated via Monte Carlo...
A self-setting calcium phosphate cement (CPC) transforms into solid hydroxyapatite during setting at body temperature, and has been used in a number of medical...
The strength and fracture resistance of dental resin composites need to be improved in order to extend their use to large stress-bearing crown and multiple-unit...
The friction of three chemically distinct esters was measured in order to determine how molecular architecture influences friction. The friction coefficients of...
The origins of two broad, unresolved features often observed in MALDI mass spectra of synthetic polymers are investigated. One occurs in the lower mass regions...

The mean-square atomic displacement of thin (1015 to 75 ) polycarbonate films supported on Si wafers is measured using incoherent elastic neutron scattering...
We have studied the modification of mica surfaces due to the impact of Xe44+ ions by imaging the ion-exposed surfaces with atomic force microscopy in vacuum. By...

The last two decades have seen the development normal-incidence multiplayer mirrors and semiconductor photodiodes for extreme ultraviolet (EUV) radiation...
A vibration-isolated platform in a high-vacuum environment designed for prototyping optical interferometers is described. The system provides isolation from...
This article reviews some of the fundamental properties of highly charged ions, the methods of producing them (with particular emphasis on table-top devices)...

We have performed nondegenerate optical pump-probe experiments with subpicosencond laser pulses to investigate the dynamics of carrier capture into self...

The mechanism of the reaction, CH 4 + O( 1 d2) -> CH 3 + OH, was investigated by ultrafast, time-resolved and high resolution, state-resolved experiments...

New observations of the spectra of neutral Ne, Kr, and Xe in the region 0.7 to 5.0 m with the 2-m NIST FTS provide precise new wavelengths and resolve questions...
Nanoscale dots created on the surface of a HOPG sample by bombardment with individual highly charged xenon projectile ions were observed using an in-situ...

We have calculated the splitting between the 0 and 1u components of the a3S state of Rb2 and Cs2 using a relativistic ab initio configuration-interaction...

The dynamics of vortices in trapped Bose-Einstein condensates are investigated both analytically and numerically. In axially symmetric traps, the critical...

A high-resolution flat crystal gamma-ray facility, GAMS4, has been constructed at the high flux reactor at the Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL), Grenoble, France...
A review is given of experiments that have been used to infer an upper bound on the degree (b2) to which the symmetrization postulate might be violated in...
