The stacked triangular lattice has the shape of a triangular prism. In spite of being considered frequently in solidstate physics and materials science, its percolation properties have received little attention. We investigate several nonuniversal percolation properties on this lattice using Monte Carlo simulation. We show that the percolation threshold is pbond c = 0.18602 ± 0.00002 for bonds ...

Neutron interrogation provides unique information valuable for Nonproliferation & Materials Control and other important applications including medicine, airport security, protein crystallography, and corrosion detection. Neutrons probe deep inside massive objects to detect small defects and chemical composition, even through high atomic number materials such as lead. However, current detectors ...

Storage-class memory (SCM) combines the benefits of a solidstate memory, such as high performance and robustness, with the archival capabilities and low cost of conventional hard-disk magnetic storage. Such a device would require a solid-state nonvolatile memory technology that could be manufactured at an extremely high effective areal density using some combination of sublithographic patternin...

Effects of xylose on xylanase production by a thermophilic Bacillus sp showed diverse patterns on corn cob (CC) and wheat bran (WB) as sole carbon sources in solidstate fermentation (SSF) and submerged fermentation (SmF). Supplementation of these media with either mineral salt solution (MSS) or yeast extract peptone (YEP) also exerted variable effects. While under SSF, xylose stimulated xylanas...

Sr2SiO4:Eu phosphor for white light emitting diodes (LEDs) was synthesized by employing an as-prepared (Sr,Eu)CO3@SiO2 core-shell precursor as starting materials, and the effect of the core-shell precursor was also discussed on the crystal structure, particle morphology and luminescent properties of the resultant phosphor. The results showed that the hybrid βand α′-Sr2SiO4: Eu phosphor with fin...

A design scheme of the intelligent SSB (Solid State Breaker) based on the IGCT (Integrated Gate Commutated Thyristor) is presented. The topology of switch module and the structure of the SSB are proposed. Firstly, to the IGCT’s over-voltage sensitivity problem, a new technique of reducing the over-voltage is introduced, which releases the elect romantics energy of faulty line by a capacitive cu...

ball mills are common grinding equipment in mineral processing industries. ball wear results from three mechanisms namely impact, abrasion and corrosion. of these, the corrosion mechanism is the least investigated, due to its chemical-electrochemical nature. therefore, the aims of this research were to investigate the grinding chemistry influence (slurry ph, solid percentage, water chemistry an...

Nitro catechols via 2 hydroxyl group and a nitro group have a wide range of functions including reagents form stable complexes with more than 40 elements in the fields of analytical chemistry, biochemistry, coordination chemistry, environmental chemistry, atrium exploration, organic chemistry, pharmacy, etc. Moreover, the nitro to amine recovery has a potential function in different fields. In ...

This study demonstrates regioselective oxidation of cellulose nanowhiskers using 2.80–10.02 mmols of sodium periodate per 5 g of whiskers followed by grafting with methyl and butyl amines through a Schiff base reaction to obtain their amine derivatives in 80–90 % yield. We found a corresponding increase in carbonyl content (0.06–0.14 mmols/g) of the dialdehyde cellulose nanowhiskers with the in...

This chapter focuses on the recent development and optimization of analytical electron microscopy to understand the dynamic changes in the bulk and interfaces of electrodes and electrolytes within all solidstate batteries. Three major aspects are covered: (1) design and fabrication of all solid-state batteries that remain functional after careful focused ion beam (FIB) processing; (2) enablemen...
