C(60).C(8)H(8) and C(70).C(8)H(8) are prototypes of rotor-stator cocrystals. We present infrared and Raman spectra of these materials and show how the rotor-stator nature is reflected in their vibrational properties. We measured the vibrational spectra of the polymer phases poly(C(60)C(8)H(8)) and poly(C(70)C(8)H(8)) resulting from a solid-state reaction occurring on heating. On the basis of th...

In this paper, an enhanced solid finite element formulation for rotor dynamics analysis is presented. The kinematics first defined with a Total Lagrangian in order to account possible centrifugal stiffening effect and its associated pre-stress deformation. novelty of the three-dimensional proposed study then correctly consider inertia due small rotational deformation occurring around pre-stress...

An organometallic molecular turnstile composed of a stator based on an α,ω-diphosphine bearing, in a symmetric fashion, the 2,6-pyridyl diamide moiety as a central tridentate chelating unit and a rotor composed of Pt(II) equipped with two pyridyl groups in trans configuration was designed. The switching between its open and closed states using Pd(II) was investigated both in solution and in the...

The periodically kicked quantum rotor is known for non-classical effects such as quantum localisation in angular momentum space or quantum resonances in rotational excitation. These phenomena have been studied in diverse systems mimicking the kicked rotor, such as cold atoms in optical lattices, or coupled photonic structures. Recently, it was predicted that several solid state quantum localisa...

In this paper, we present a study on Aloha and Slotted Aloha protocols for Underwater Sensor Networks (UWSN). Such simple random access protocols allow sensor nodes to communicate in UWSN. We present a simple mathematical analysis as well as simulations to show the performance of Aloha and Slotted Aloha in the acoustic environment. Our results show that long propagation delay of acoustic signal...

a new multiple c- slotted microstrip patch antenna is proposed.  a patch antenna is a wide-beam narrowband antenna. microstrip patch antenna consist of a very thin metallic strip (patch) placed a small fraction of a wavelength above a ground plane. the patch can be designed in any possible shape and normally made by conducting material copper or gold. this paper presents design of a c- slotted ...

New developments in solid-state electronics applied to the Centrifugal Fast Analyzer have resulted in a prototype portable instrument with several unique improvements, yielding expanded analytical versatility and the capability to operate from 110 V ac or a rechargeable battery pack. The analyzer, contained in an 47 X 28 X 30 cm box and weighing 25.4 kg, utilizes a self-contained microprocessor...
