Impact Of Alkaline Doping And Reducing Conditions On Lafeo3, Geoffrey L. Beausoleil Ii
Geoffrey L Beausoleil II
Efficient and reliable materials for gas separation, syngas production, and hybrid nuclear power plants must be capable of reliably operating at a high-temperature range of 700-1000°C and under exposure to highly oxidizing and reducing conditions. Candidate materials for these applications include alkaline metal doped lanthanum ferrite.
In the first study, the impact of A site substitution by different alkaline metals on lanthanum ferrite (LMF, M=Ca, Sr, and Ba) was investigated. The study focused on thermal expansion near the Néel transition temperature and a magneto-elastic contribution to thermal expansion was identified for each sample. Iron oxidation, Fe3+ to Fe4+, was identified …

We report an alternative approach to enhance the optical and electrical performance of a vanadyl 2,9,16,23-tetraphenoxy-29H,31H-phthalocyanine:poly(3hexylthiophene) (VOPcPhO:P3HT) blending system by integrating plasmonic spherical silver into an active layer of organic solar cells. Studies of the influence of the size distribution and optical properties of the silver nanoparticles were carried out using UV–Vis spectroscopy and field emission scanning electron microscopy, respectively. Electrical characteristics with and without the presence of metallic nanostructures were analyzed using J–V characteristics to observe the plasmonic effects on the performance in the VOPcPhO:P3HT organic solar cells.
On The Transition From Diffusion-Limited To Kinetic-Limited Regimes Of Alloy Solidification, Sergey Sobolev
On The Transition From Diffusion-Limited To Kinetic-Limited Regimes Of Alloy Solidification, Sergey Sobolev
Sergey Sobolev
An abrupt transition from diffusion-limited solidification to diffusionless, kinetic-limited solidification with complete solute trapping is explained as a critical phenomenon which arises due to local non-equilibrium diffusion effects in the bulk liquid. The transition occurs when the interface velocityVpasses through the critical pointV=VD, where V=VDis the bulk liquid diffusive velocity. Analytical expressions are developed for velocity–temperature and velocity–undercooling functions, using local non-equilibrium partition coeffi-cient based on the Jackson et al. kinetic model and the local non-equilibrium diffusion model of Sobolev. The calculated functions dem-onstrate a sharp break in the velocity–undercooling and velocity–temperature relationships at the critical pointV=VD. At this point …

Leda Sox
The original Rayleigh-scatter lidar that operated at the Atmospheric Lidar Observatory (ALO; 41.7°N, 111.8°W) in the Center for Atmospheric and Space Sciences (CASS) on the campus of Utah State University (USU), collected temperature data for 11 years, from 1993 through 2004. The temperatures derived from these data extended over the mesosphere, from 45 to 90 km. Recently, these temperatures were combined with other observations to examine the mid-latitude response to Sudden Stratospheric Warmings (SSWs) in the polar regions. Extensive Rayleigh lidar observations were made during a several SSW events. In order to look for effects of the SSWs, comparisons were …

Middle Atmosphere Temperature Results From A New, High-Powered, Large-Aperture Rayleigh Lidar, Leda Sox, Vincent B. Wickwar
Leda Sox
In June–July 2012, observations were carried out using the recently upgraded, large-aperture, Rayleigh-scatter lidar system located at the Atmospheric Lidar Observatory (ALO) on the campus of Utah State University, in Logan, UT (41.7 N, 111.8 W). This time period was significant because it enabled us to observe the annual temperature minimum in the upper mesosphere-lower thermosphere region. The data collected during the campaign were analyzed for temperatures between ~70–109 km. The results above ~95 km are the first obtained with a Rayleigh-scatter lidar, extending the technique well into the lower thermosphere. A great deal of variability from night-to-night is evident …

In this Letter, we propose to use the Cantor-type cylindrical-coordinate method in order to investigate a family of local fractional differential operators on Cantor sets. Some testing examples are given to illustrate the capability of the proposed method for the heat-conduction equation on a Cantor set and the damped wave equation in fractal strings. It is seen to be a powerful tool to convert differential equations on Cantor sets from Cantorian-coordinate systems to Cantor-type cylindrical-coordinate systems.
Modeling Spiral Galaxy Surface Luminosity To Explain Non-Uniform Inclination Distributions, Jordan C. Rozum, Shane L. Larson
Modeling Spiral Galaxy Surface Luminosity To Explain Non-Uniform Inclination Distributions, Jordan C. Rozum, Shane L. Larson
Jordan Rozum
The distribution of spiral and bar galaxy inclination angles is expected to be uniform. However, analysis of several major galaxy catalogs shows this is not the case; galaxies oriented near edge-on are significantly more common in these catalogs. In an attempt to explain this discrepancy, we have developed a galaxy simulation code to compute the appearance of a spiral type galaxy as a function of its morphological parameters. We examine the dependence of observed brightness upon inclination angle by using smooth luminous mass density and ISM density distributions. The luminous component is integrated along a particular line of sight, thus …

In this paper, we report an organic bulk heterojunction photo-sensor that has been fabricated by using a composite of a polymer material poly(3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl) (P3HT) and a dye material vanadyl-phthalocyanine (VOPcPhO). The UV–Vis spectrum shows that this composite exhibits a broad absorption over the whole visible range. The photoluminescence (PL) spectra of P3HT and VOPcPhO blend have been studied to optimize the ratio of P3HT and VOPcPhO. The photo-sensitivity has been investigated under different applied voltages in reverse direction. The photoconductivity sensitivity value has been calculated as 5.65 × 102 Sm/W.

Characterizing Sky Variability For Multi-Messenger Astronomy, Rachel K. Nydegger, Shane L. Larson Ph.D.
Rachel Nydegger Rozum
Multi-messenger astronomy employs both electromagnetic and gravitational -wave detectors to paint a richer picture of celestial objects, providing more depth and information. The interferometers utilized for gravitational-wave observations receive input from very broad fields of view on the sky, typically a few square degrees. To have simultaneous electromagnetic observations (typically less than one square degree) requires innovative techniques for the telescopes to find the origin of radiation. One idea is to “tile” the view of the interferometer, using multiple telescopes to simultaneously point at different areas of the field to observe the source. One di"culty of this observing paradigm is …
The International Trafficking In Arms Regulations: Precluding Innovation In Academic Spacecraft Engineering — Or Are They?, Jeremy Straub, Joe Vacek
The International Trafficking In Arms Regulations: Precluding Innovation In Academic Spacecraft Engineering — Or Are They?, Jeremy Straub, Joe Vacek
Jeremy Straub
Government regulations and uncertainty about their enforcement can be a significant barrier to innovation. In business, it is undesirable to consume time and other resources developing a product that cannot be sold or which requires navigating significant bureaucracy for each sale. In academ-ia, where limited funding is available prior to the submission of a grant pro-posal and receipt of an award, proposal-stage compliance costs can derail a project long before it begins. This paper reviews the International Traffick-ing in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and their impact on spacecraft research in academia, private research labs and industry. It reviews the exemptions available, …

Mapping Light Pollution At Utah State University, Rachel K. Nydegger, Shane L. Larson Ph.D.
Rachel Nydegger Rozum
One of the beauties of modern civilization is seeing the city lighting at night. It provides a feeling of security and is indicative of the power and endeavors of humanity, but over-lighting is a form of pollution. Many outdoor light fixtures spread light in all directions, sending a majority of the light into the sky, away from where we want the light to be on the ground. This light spreading upward is not only wasted light, but it is wasted energy and money, destroys our ability to view the night sky, and has profound effects on nocturnal creatures. The direct …

Local Nonequilibrium Solute Trapping Model For Non-Planar Interface, Sergey Sobolev
Local Nonequilibrium Solute Trapping Model For Non-Planar Interface, Sergey Sobolev
Sergey Sobolev
A generalized solute trapping model was proposed incorporating the dependency on interfacial normal velocity along the dendrite side, as an extension of the continuous growth model modified by Sobolev with the local nonequilibrium diffusion model (LNDM). The present model predicts that the transition to diffusionless solidification is not sharp, but occurs in a range of velocities. Analysis indicates that for local nonequilibrium solute diffusion in bulk liquid the effect of the interfacial normal velocity dependency on solute partitioning is considerable.

A Cauchy Problem For Some Local Fractional Abstract Differential Equation With Fractal Conditions, Yang Xiaojun, Zhong Weiping, Gao Feng
Xiao-Jun Yang
Fractional calculus is an important method for mathematics and engineering [1-24]. In this paper, we review the existence and uniqueness of solutions to the Cauchy problem for the local fractional differential equation with fractal conditions \[ D^\alpha x\left( t \right)=f\left( {t,x\left( t \right)} \right),t\in \left[ {0,T} \right], x\left( {t_0 } \right)=x_0 , \] where $0<\alpha \le 1$ in a generalized Banach space. We use some new tools from Local Fractional Functional Analysis [25, 26] to obtain the results.

Tourbillion In The Phase Space Of The Bray-Liebhafsky Nonlinear Oscillatory Reaction And Related Multiple-Time-Scale Model, Zeljko D. Cupic
Zeljko D Cupic
The mixed-mode dynamical states found experimentally in the concentration phase space of the iodate catalyzed hydrogen peroxide decomposition (The Bray-Liebhafsky oscillatory reaction) are discussed theoretically in a related multiple-time-scale model, from the viewpoint of tourbillion. With aim to explain the mixed-mode oscillations obtained by numerical simulations of the various dynamical states of a model for the Bray-Liebhafsky reaction under CSTR conditions, the folded singularity points on the critical manifold of the full system and Andronov-Hopf bifurcation of the fast subsystem are calculated. The interaction between those singularities causes occurrence of tourbillion structure.
