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
Organic thin films, especially conjugated molecular assemblies, have attracted considerable attention as candidates for electrically-active components in nanoscale electronic devices. Indeed, this field has seen significant progress; single-molecule

Strain relaxation is studied in Strained Silicon Directly on Insulator (SSDOI) substrates patterned with nano-scale features. Using interference lithography, biaxially-strained SSDOI substrates with 30 nm-thick strained Si on insulator films were patterned

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

The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) has been examining standards for the electronic representation of chemical information, and as part of this effort it has established a working group in conjunction with the USA National
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

Micro silicon carbide tension specimen were prepared with straight, curved, and notched gage lengths. These were tested to failure and the strengths analyzed by Weibull statistics. Fractographic analysis confirmed that strength limiting flaws were etch
