The oxidation of Ti terminated NiTi surfaces is investigated with density functional theory. The surfaces considered are (001) and (110) of the austenite phase (B2) and (010) of the martensite phase (B19’). The favored adsorption sites for atomic oxygen are fourfold hollow on B2 (001), and twofold bridged between two surface Ti atoms on B2 (110) and B19’ (010). Adsorption of one oxygen molecule...

In this paper, the natural frequencies of the radial vibrations of a hollow cylinder and hollow sphere with different boundary conditions under influences of rotation and non-homogeneity have been studied. The radial vibrations of orthotropic material as affected by the angular velocity are investigated on the basis of the linear theory of elasticity. The of elastodynamic equations have been so...

The 'windows' or 'doors' on the surface of a closed hollow structure can enable the exchange of material and information between the interior and exterior of one hollow sphere or between two hollow spheres, and this information or material exchange can also be controlled through altering the window' size. Thus, it is very interesting and important to achieve the fabrication and adjustment of th...

By subjecting amorphous flower-like TiO2 to a facile hydrothermal synthesis in the presence of Sr(2+), garden-like perovskite SrTiO3 superstructures were achieved. The amorphous TiO2 was preformed using ZnO flowers as templates. Different three-dimensional SrTiO3 architectures were coexisted in the garden, including SrTiO3 flowers composed of several hollow sword-shaped petals, many sheet-shape...

This manuscript proposes a soft-chemistry method to develop superhydrophobic and highly IR-reflective hollow glass microspheres (HGM). The anatase TiO2 and a superhydrophobic agent were coated on the HGM surface in one step. TBT and PFOTES were selected as the Ti source and the superhydrophobic agent, respectively. They were both coated on the HGM, and after the hydrothermal process, the TBT tu...

Various solutions of the kinetic equation for equilibrium a gravitating sphere uniform density with quadratic gravitational potential and linear dependence force on radius are examined. New analytic obtained hollow spherical volume central mass inside sphere. Solutions also an arbitrary number layers same density, but different distribution functions.
