Poly(sulfobetaine methacrylate)s as Electrode Modifiers for Inverted Organic Electronics

January 14, 2015
Author(s)
Hyunbok Lee, Egle Puodziukynaite, Dean DeLongchamp, Todd Emrick, Alejandro Briseno
We demonstrate the use of poly(sulfobetaine methacrylate) (PSBMA), and its pyrene-containing copolymer, as solution-processable work function reducers for inverted organic electronic devices. A notable feature of PSBMA is its orthogonal solubility relative

Bottom-up processing and low temperature transport properties of polycrystalline SnSe

January 13, 2015
Author(s)
Zhen-Hua Ge, Kaya Wei, Hutton Lewis, Joshua Martin, George S. Nolas
A simple hydrothermal approach was employed to synthesize SnSe nanorods. Micro sized flower shaped crystals were obtained under reaction temperatures below 180°C and nanorods were obtained at a reaction temperature of 180°C, the "flowers" changed to rods

The meaning of the universal WLF parameters of glass-forming polymer liquids

January 7, 2015
Author(s)
Jack F. Douglas, Jacek Dudowicz, Karl Freed
Although the Williams-Landell-Ferry (WLF) equation for the segmental relaxation time tau of glass forming materials is one of most commonly encountered relations in polymer physics, the molecular basis for this equation is not well understood. The WLF

Citrate-stabilized gold nanoparticles do not impact neural progenitor cell development

January 5, 2015
Author(s)
Kavita M. Jeerage, Tammy L. Oreskovic, Alexandra Curtin, Aric W. Sanders, Rani K. Schwindt, Ann C. Chiaramonti Debay
Gold nanoparticles are promising candidates for medical diagnostics and therapeutics, due to their chemical stability, optical properties, and ease of functionalization. Citrate-stabilized gold nanoparticle reference materials also have potential as

Tailor-Made Polyamide Membranes for Water Desalination

December 30, 2014
Author(s)
Edwin P. Chan, Wansuk Chol, Joona Bang, Jong Suk Lee, Jung-Hyun Lee, Joung-Eun Gu
Independent control over the extrinsic and intrinsic properties of the polyamide selective layer is critical when designing water desalination reverse osmosis (RO) membranes with performance characteristics required for water purification applications

Advances in the generalized entropy theory of glass-formation in polymer melts

December 21, 2014
Author(s)
Jack F. Douglas, J Dudowicz, Karl Freed
The generalized entropy theory (GET) of polymeric glass-forming liquids is reformulated in a simpler and more natural formalism than our previous version of this theory. This new theory is then applied to survey essential trends in the dependence of the

Solidification

December 19, 2014
Author(s)
William J. Boettinger, Dilip K. Banerjee
In this chapter, we give a general view of the formation of the solid from its melt. This process is generally driven by the extraction of heat from the melt but fluid flow has a major influence on solidification. Thus an early section deals with transport

Applicability of post-ionization theory to laser-assisted field evaporation of magnetite

December 18, 2014
Author(s)
Ann C. Chiaramonti Debay, D. K. Schreiber, Lyle M. Gordon, Karen Kruska
Analysis of the mean Fe ion charge state from laser-assisted field evaporation of magnetite (Fe3O4) reveals unexpected trends as a function of laser pulse energy that break from conventional post-ionization theory for metals. For Fe ions evaporated from

MECHANICS ANALYSIS OF MOLAR TOOTH SPLITTING

December 12, 2014
Author(s)
Amir Barani, Brian R. Lawn, Mark Bush, Herzl Chai
A model for the splitting of teeth from wedge loading of molar cusps from a round indenting object is presented. The model is developed in two parts: first, a simple 2D fracture mechanics configuration with the wedged tooth simulated by a compact tension

Computing elastic moduli on 3-D X-ray computed tomography image stacks

December 10, 2014
Author(s)
Edward Garboczi, Volodymyr Kushch
A common numerical task is to compute the effective elastic properties of a random composite material based on its microstructure by operating on a 3D digital image of the microstructure obtained via X-ray computed tomography (CT). The 3-D image is usually

Details of the Magnetization Reversal in Patterned Exchange-biased and Unbiased Thin Films

November 1, 2014
Author(s)
Robert D. Shull, Y. P. Kabanov, Andrew P. Chen, Cindi L. Dennis, V S. Gornakov, Valerian I. Nikitenko
New features of the magnetization reversal of a patterned bilayer in the form of a square mesh consisting of 16 um wide intersecting stripes of Ni(sub79)Fe(sub21) (30 nm) exchange-coupled with IrMn (10 um) on top were revealed via use of the advanced

Structural and Dynamical Studies of Acid Mediated Conversion in Amorphous-Calcium-Phosphate Based Dental Composites

October 31, 2014
Author(s)
Fan Zhang, Andrew Allen, Lyle E. Levine, Mark D. Vaudin, Drago Skrtic, Joseph M. Antonucci, Kathleen Hoffman, Anthony A. Giuseppetti, Jan Ilavsky
Amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) based composites are promising restorative dental materials attributable to ACP's capacity to release calcium and phosphate ions through a complex reaction in which ACP is converted to its crystalline, apatitic form

Faceting Control in Core/Shell GaN micropillars using Selective Epitaxy

October 15, 2014
Author(s)
Sergiy Krylyuk, Heayoung Yoon, Baomei Wen, Abhishek Motayed, Albert Davydov, Matt N. King
We report on fabricating large-area, vertically aligned GaN epitaxial core-shell micropillar arrays. The two-step process consisted of inductively coupled plasma (ICP) etch of lithographically patterned n-type GaN substrate followed by selective growth of
