Relativistic electrons have transverse electric fields comparable in magnitude to the longitudinal fields. We determine the relative effects of transverse and longitudinal fields of a moving point charge on the dielectric response of a uniform electron gas
The goal of this study is to elucidate the formation of molecular gradients made of semifluorinated organosilanes (SFO) on flat substrates by using a methodology developed by Chaudhury ad Whitesides [Science 1992, 256, 1539]. We use surface-sensitive

The phenomenology of Pb(B,B$ {\prime}$)O$_{3}$, perovskite based relaxor ferroelectrics is reviewed, with emphasis on the relationship between chemical short-range order and the formation of polar nanoregions in the temperature range between the freezing
First principles phase diagram calculations were performed for the system NaCl-KCL. Planewave pseudopotential calculations of formation energies were used as a basis for fitting cluster expansion Hamiltonians, both with-and without an approximation for the

There is considerable interest in the phase behavior of multi-component polymer mixtures, the so-called polymer blends, due to their broad technological importance in the plastics industry. Traditionally, quiescent conditions have been adopted for
The peel force of a pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) tape is measured on a surface that varied linearly in temperature. As the tape is peeled from the surface, the adhesive is peeled from a surface at a different temperature. The temperature can be
Small angle neutron scattering (SANS) is used with the high concentration method to extract single particle scattering from single wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs). The SWNT material was labeled by covalently attaching -C4H9 or -C4D9 groups by use of free

This study investigated four different connective tissue cell types to determine which cell type is an optimal source for seeding a tissue-engineered Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) replacement. Cells from the ACL, Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL)

Phase equilibrium studies of the title systems all reveal the formation of non-stoichiometric, displacively disordered pyrochlore phases. Formation of other ternary phases in these systems is limited. Initial screening of the dielectric properties of the
Measurement of complex hydrocarbon film thickness on engineering surfaces such as magnetic hard disks is difficult if the film thickness is below the peak to valley distance of the surface. Instrument sensitivity and detection accuracy for most of the
Silicon-based ceramics such as silicon nitride can be very effectively lubricated by water under certain conditions (1-3). After a wear-in period a condition of very low friction coefficient (

This work addresses current limitations of X-ray reflectometry (XRR) for modeling thin films and provides a basis for their improvement. Better accuracy in the characterization of novel thin film structures requires better model selection techniques and

The electronic structure of Si-doped InyGa1-yAs1-xNx films on GaAs substrates, grown bynitrogen-plasma-assisted molecular-beam epitaxy, was examined by photoreflectance PR spectroscopy at temperatures between 20 and 300 K. The films were approximately 0.5
