The title compound 4a, a purple transient whose main UV-vis absorption band occurs near 490 nm (epsilon = 5000 M-1 cm-1), has been generated by irradiation of 2,3,5,6-tetramethylene-7-oxonorbornane (5a). It has been observed directly by immobilization in f ...
The influence of the mould material on the build-up of internal stresses during autoclave cure of a unidirectional carbon fibre composite material was investigated using embedded optical fibre Bragg gratings. Four flat moulds (i.e. aluminium, steel, carbon ...
A low pressure reactor (Knudsen cell) coupled to molecular beam modulated mass spectrometry was used to study the heterogeneous kinetics of the following three systems: (1) NO2 on amorphous carbon, (2) H2O vapor on ice and (3) gaseous HCl on ice. The first ...
Thick-film resistors (TFRs) consist of a percolating network of conducting oxide nanoparticlesdispersed in an insulating glassy matrix, whose resistive properties are dominated by quantumtunneling across insulating layers separating adjacent conducting gra ...
We present a combined experimental and theoretical study of the CO2 interaction with the Ni(110) surface. Photoelectron spectroscopy, temperature-programmed desorption, and high-resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy measurements are performed at dif ...
Size-dependent effects in the core-peak and Fermi-edge features of Au-cluster photoemission spectra have been investigated for two different substrates: polycrystalline and highly oriented pyrolytic graphite. In contrast with common substrates such as amor ...
Thick film deposition of conductive, dielectric and resistive pastes on ceramic membranes is a cost effective technique to manufacture piezoresistive pressure sensors. Thick-film resistors consist of a percolating network of conductive oxide nanoparticles ...
Fiber push-out tests have been performed on a ceramic matrix composite consisting of Carborundum sintered SiC fibers, with a BN coating, embedded in a reaction-bonded SiC matrix. Analysis of the push-out data, utilizing the most complete theory presently a ...
Using a first-principles approach, we compare calculated core-level shifts with experimental data for amorphous carbon at different densities. We used a molecular dynamics approach based on an environmental-dependent tight-binding (EDTB) Hamiltonian to gen ...
