Linear and Nonlinear Optical Properties of Mn doped Benzimidazole Thin Films

open access: yes, 2014
In the present work, the Mn doped benzimidazole (BMZ) thin films were prepared by simple chemical bath deposition technique. The material was directly deposited as thin film on glass substrates and the metal concentration in the solution was varied in ...

A liquid xenon ionization chamber in an all-fluoropolymer vessel [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
A novel technique has been developed to build vessels for liquid xenon ionization detectors entirely out of ultra-clean fluoropolymer. We describe the advantages in terms of low radioactivity contamination, provide some details of the construction ...

Floppy modes and non-affine deformations in random fiber networks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
We study the elasticity of random fiber networks. Starting from a microscopic picture of the non-affine deformation fields we calculate the macroscopic elastic moduli both in a scaling theory and a self-consistent effective medium theory. By relating non-

Oscillating Fracture in Rubber

open access: yes, 2001
We have found an oscillating instability of fast-running cracks in thin rubber sheets. A well-defined transition from straight to oscillating cracks occurs as the amount of biaxial strain increases.

QTL‐seq for rapid identification of candidate genes for 100‐seed weight and root/total plant dry weight ratio under rainfed conditions in chickpea

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 14, Issue 11, Page 2110-2119, November 2016., 2016
Summary Terminal drought is a major constraint to chickpea productivity. Two component traits responsible for reduction in yield under drought stress include reduction in seeds size and root length/root density. QTL‐seq approach, therefore, was used to identify candidate genomic regions for 100‐seed weight (100SDW) and total dry root weight to total ...

Cracks in rubber under tension exceed the shear wave speed

open access: yes, 2004
The shear wave speed is an upper limit for the speed of cracks loaded in tension in linear elastic solids. We have discovered that in a non-linear material, cracks in tension (Mode I) exceed this sound speed, and travel in an intersonic range between ...

Microstructural analysis of neutron-irradiation induced changes in polyester fibre studied using EPMA [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Electron microscopy is an important characterization technique for the study of textile fibre as it gives more information on fabric wear, nature of fibre fracture, chemical degradation, abrasion, fatigue and many others.

Rethinking the polar cap: Eccentric dipole structuring of ULF power at the highest corrected geomagnetic latitudes

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 121, Issue 9, Page 8475-8507, September 2016., 2016
Abstract The day‐to‐day evolution and statistical features of Pc3‐Pc7 band ultralow frequency (ULF) power throughout the southern polar cap suggest that the corrected geomagnetic (CGM) coordinates do not adequately organize the observed hydromagnetic spatial structure.

The Phase Diagram of Random Heteropolymers

open access: yes, 2004
We propose a new analytic approach to study the phase diagram of random heteropolymers, based on the cavity method. For copolymers we analyze the nature and phenomenology of the glass transition as a function of sequence correlations.

Curing behavior and reaction kinetics of binder resins for 3D-printing investigated by dielectric analysis (DEA) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
3D-Printing is an efficient method in the field of additive manufacturing. In order to optimize the properties of manufactured parts it is essential to adapt the curing behavior of the resin systems with respect to the requirements.
