Synthesis and Single-Crystal X-Ray Diffraction Studies of New Framework Substituted Type II Clathrates, Cs 8 Na 16 Ag x Ge 136-x (x 7)

April 13, 2007
Author(s)
Matthew Beekman, Winnie Wong-Ng, James A. Kaduk, Alexander J. Shapiro, George S. Nolas
New inorganic type II clathrates with Ag atoms substituting for framework Ge atoms, Cs8Na16AgxGe136-x (x = 0, 5.9, and 6.7), have been synthesized by reaction of the pure elements at high temperature. Structural refinements have been performed using single

A Study of the Packing Density and Molecular Orientation of Bimolecular Self-Assembled Monolayers of Aromatic and Aliphatic Organosilanes on Silica

April 12, 2007
Author(s)
M B. Smith, K Efimenko, Daniel A. Fischer, S E. Lappi, P E. Kilpatrick, Jan Genzer
Bimolecular self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of aromatic and aliphatic chlorosilanes were self-assembled onto silica and their characteristics were established by contact angle measurement, near-edge X-ray adsorption fine structure spectroscopy, and

A Uniaxial BioMEMS Device for Quantitative Force-Displacement Measurements

April 3, 2007
Author(s)
David Serrell, Tammy L. Oreskovic, Andrew Slifka, Roop L. Mahajan, Dudley Finch
There is a need for experimental techniques that allow the simultaneous imaging of cellular cystoskeletal components with quantitative force measurements on single cells. A bioMEMS device has been developed for the application of strain to a single cell

Enhancement of Engine Oil Wear and Friction Control Performance Through Titanium Additive Chemistry

February 27, 2007
Author(s)
J M. Guevremont, G H. Guinther, D Szemenyei, Mark Devlin, T-C Jao, Cherno Jaye, Joseph Woicik, Daniel A. Fischer
Traditionally, wear protection and friction modification by engine oil are provided by zinc dithiophosphate (ZDDP) or other phosphorus compounds. These additives provide effective wear protection and friction control on engine parts through formation of a

Chemical Twinning of the Pyrochlore Structure in the System Bi 2 O 3-Nb 2O 5

January 28, 2007
Author(s)
Ian E. Grey, W G. Mumme, Terrell A. Vanderah, Robert S. Roth, C Bougerol-Chaillout
New ternary bismuth iron niobates having structures based on chemical twinning of pyrochlore are described. Bi5.67Nb10FeO35 has hexagonal symmetry, P63/mmc, a = 7.432(1) , c = 31.881(2) , Z = 2 and Bi9.3Nb16.9Fe1.1O57.8 has rhombohedral symmetry, R-3m, a =

Contact Mechanics of Layered Elastic Materials: Experiment and Theory

January 26, 2007
Author(s)
P M. McGuiggan, Jay S. Wallace, Douglas T. Smith, I Sridhar, Z Zheng, K L. Johnson
This paper reports an experimental and theoretical investigation of the indentation of a layered elastic solid, with special reference to the surface force apparatus (SFA). The contacting surfaces of the SFA comprise a 3-layer material: a thin mica surface

A High-Throughput Thermoelectric Power-Factor Screening Tool for Rapid Construction of Thermoelectric Property Diagrams

January 23, 2007
Author(s)
Makoto Otani, Nathan Lowhorn, Peter K. Schenck, Winnie K. Wong-Ng, Martin L. Green, K Itaka, H Koinuma
We have developed a high throughput screening tool that maps out thermoelectric power factors of combinatorial composition-spread film libraries. The screening tool allows us to measure the electrical conductivity and Seebeck coefficient of over 1000

Influence of Oxygen Vacancies on the Dielectric Properties of Hafnia

January 22, 2007
Author(s)
Eric J. Cockayne
First-principles calculations were used to study the effects of neutral and 2+ charged oxygen vacancies on the dielectric properties of crystalline HfO2. In agreement with previous results, the neutral vacancy is more stable on the 4-fold coordinated site
