Block copolymer (BCP) phase separation is an intriguing phenomenon whose dynamics can be expected to differ significantly from that of the polymer blends due to constraint of chain connectivity that limits the ultimate scale of phase separation and the

Additive biomanufacturing has been adapted in a wide variety of biomedical and tissue engineering applications, including orthopedics. The ability to print biocompatible, patient-specific geometries with controlled porosity, mechanical strength has made
Graded magnetic materials represent a promising new avenue in modern material science from both fundamental and application points of view. Over the course of the last few years, remarkable results have been obtained in (epitaxial) heterostructures based

This Certification Report documents the procedures used to develop certified values of absorbed energy (KV) for the following RHS (Reduced Half-Size)-type miniaturized verification Charpy V-notch impact specimens: • SRM 2237 (low-energy level, KV = 3.87 J)
Self-terminating electrochemical deposition is used to grow Pt nanoparticles on tungsten monocarbide (WC) from a pH 4 electrolyte containing 3 mmol/L K2PtCl4 - 0.5 mol/L NaCl. An unconventional potentiodynamic deposition program is used where nucleation is

Photolithographically defined thin film Au dots were used as micro fiducial markers for digital image correlation (DIC), to enable two-dimensional strain measurement of 200 micron-thick LIGA (Lithographie, Galvanformung, Abformung) nickel alloys. Due to
Spin structure of a magnetic system results from the competition of various exchange couplings. Pressure driven spin structure evolution, through altering interatomic distance and hence electronic structure, produces baromagnetic effect(BME), which has

For the number of skutterudite-related cage compounds such as cubic R 3M 4Sn 13 (R = Ca or La, M = transition d-electron metal) or tetragonal Y 5Rh 6Sn 18 we have previously reported the impact of various atomic defects in the crystal lattices on the

Reversible aggregation of purely short-ranged attractive colloidal particles leads to the formation of clusters with a fractal dimension that only depends on the second virial coefficient. The addition of a long-ranged repulsion to the potential modifies

The surface capping ligands on nanocrystals (NCs) impart colloidal stability and determine the organization into ordered solids when cast from solution. Here, we use small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) to measure the solution structure factor in

We study the assembly of magnetite nanoparticles in water-based ferrofluids in wetting layers close to silicon substrates with different functionalization without and with an out-of-plane magnetic field. For particles of nominal sizes 5 nm, 15 nm and 25 nm
This study demonstrates how the large concentration fluctuations of polymeric liquids under deformation and flow can be quantitatively studied by applying the spherical harmonic expansion technique to small-angle neutron scattering. Using a series of
