Applications of the z-transform were made earlier to interfacial electron transfer involving semi-infinite solids, e.g., semiconductor/liquid and metal/liquid interfaces and scanning tunneling microscopy. It is shown how the method is readily adapted to treat composite materials, such as solid/solid interfaces or ‘‘molecular wire’’/solid interfaces. © 2001 American Institute of Physics. @DOI: 1...

Fateme Derakhshan-Panah was born in Hamedan (Iran) in 1987. She received her B.S. in Pure Chemistry (2009) and M.S. in Organic Chemistry (2011) from Bu-Ali Sina University, Iran. She is currently working towards her Ph.D. under the supervision of Professor M. A. Zolfigol. Her research interest is organic methodology especially the application of solid acids and ionic liquids in organic synthesis.

In this paper we study the sedimentation of several thousand circular particles in two dimensions using the method of distributed Lagrange multipliers for solid–liquid flow. The simulation gives rise to fingering which resembles Rayleigh–Taylor instabilities. The waves have a well-defined wavelength and growth rate which can be modelled as a conventional Rayleigh–Taylor instability of heavy flu...

BACKGROUND Replacing typical American snacks with tree nuts may be an effective way to improve diet quality and compliance with the 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGAs). OBJECTIVE To assess and quantify the impact of replacing typical snacks with composite tree nuts or almonds on diet metrics, including empty calories (i.e., added sugars and solid fats), individual fatty acids, m...

Solid Li-ion electrolytes used in all-solid-state lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are being considered to replace conventional liquid electrolytes that have leakage, flammability, and poor chemical stability issues, which represents one major challenge and opportunity for next-generation high-energy-density batteries. However, the low mobility of lithium ions in solid electrolytes limits their pra...

In this chapter we study the sedimentation of several thousand circular particles in 2D using the method of distributed Lagrange multipliers for solid-liquid flow. The simulation gives rise to fingering which resembles Rayleigh-Taylor instabilities. The waves have a well defined wavelength and growth rate which can be modeled as a conventional Rayleigh-Taylor instability of heavy fluid above li...

Abstract: Zirconia solid electrolytes with nonequilibrium composite structure were prepared by impregnation of a porous 8YSZ matrix with a solution of Zirconia. Microstructures were characterized by XRD and SEM. The electrical properties were studied by impedance spectroscopy as a function of temperature. Biaxial flexural strength and fracture toughness of composite samples were measured by rin...

sulfonic acid-based precursors (sap) play an important role in tailoring mesoporous silica’s and convert them to a solid acid catalyst with a bronsted-type nature. these kinds of solid acids contribute to sustainable and green chemistry by their heterogeneous, recyclable, and high efficiency features. therefore, knowing the properties and reactivity of saps can guide us to manufacture a sulfona...
