Gaseous equilibria in the V−Ag−Cl system were studied at elevated temperatures by effusion-beam mass spectrometry, where the pertinent species were generated by reaction of Cl2(g) with V + Ag granules…

The formation of step bunches and/or facets on hydrogen-etched 6H-SiC(0 0 0 1) and (0001¯) surfaces has been studied, using both nominally on-axis and intentionally miscut (i.e. vicinal) substrates.

Analysis of the composition, strain-relaxation, layer-tilt, and the crystalline quality of InyGa1−yAs/InP1−xAsx thermophotovoltaic (TPV) diodes grown by metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) is demonstrated using triple-axis X-ray reciprocal space mapping techniques.

The work reported herein demonstrates a novel method to improve the overall performance of thin-form-factor galvanic cells, fabricated via micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) processes.

To understand the effect of different membrane components on its properties, thermal properties of composites have been investigated. It was found that the content of CTFE units, St and sulfonic…

Extended abstract of a paper presented at Microscopy and Microanalysis 2008 in Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA, August 3 – August 7, 2008

When an NASA standard initiator (NSI) combusts within the confinement of a pyrovalve, debris is generated and entrained into flow. This debris can originate from the closure disc, the zirconium…

In this work, we support earlier studies that the resistance to crystallization of these nanodomain networks is due to thermodynamic as well as kinetic factors.

The syntheses of two potential food mutagens formed during cooking, 2-amino-3,6,7-trimethyl-3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (1) and 2-amino-3,6,7-trimethyl-3H-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridine (2), are described.

We report on the metallorganic chemical vapor deposition growth of GaAs on patterned Si (001) substrates, which utilizes the aspect ratio trapping method. It was found that when growingGaAs above the SiO2SiO2 trenched region, coalescence-induced…
