In ancient China during the Shang dynasty, ca. 1600-1046 BCE, jade and bronze dagger-axes (ge) were used by the elite as ritual symbols of power and prestige. These ceremonial weapons consist of a nephrite jade [Ca2(Mg, Fe)5Si8O22(OH)2] blade mounted in a

Charge trapping and storage in polymer dielectrics can be harnessed for the control of semiconductor device behavior, including organic transistors. For example, gate insulators chosen for organic transistors have an important effect on both bias stress

In organic semiconductors, solution-phase polymer structure and aggregation have a strong influence on device morphology and performance. Thus, understanding solubility of conjugated polymers is crucial for their rational design. Using a combination of

Small-Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS) measurements of polymers mixed with weakly attractive 1.0 nm diameter polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) nanoparticles (NPs) show no observable changes in the chain radius of gyration R g, regardless of the

Triblock copolymer coacervate gels were characterized by small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) and dynamic light scattering. The oppositely charged polyelectrolyte complex core size does not change with temperature. However, the neutral middle block that

The ordered monoclinic phase of the alkali-metal decahydro-closodecaborate salt Rb 2B 10H 10 was found to be stable from about 250 K all the way up to an order-disorder phase transition temperature of approximately equal} 762 K. The broad temperature range
