Electrochemical Quartz Crystal Microbalance Study On The Promoted Electron Transfer Process At Gold Electrode, Xia-Qin Wu, Zhe-Su Wang, Xiao-Yun Meng, Zong-Rang Zhang
Journal of Electrochemistry
The adsorption behavior of amino acids, such as L-cysteine, histidine and arginine at gold-quartz crystal microbalance (Au-QCM) was investigated. The adsorption quantity of cysteine is more appreciable than others because of the stronger interaction between its thiol group and the gold electrode surface. The electron-transfer process of superoxide dismutase (SOD) in presence of cysteine at Au-QCM has also been studied using the electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM) technique which reveals clearly the quasi-reversible electron-transfer process accompanied by the frequency shift cycle. The reversible adsorption and disorption processes are discussed.

Journal of Electrochemistry
The different concentration of Na+ was introduced into the non-aqueous eletrolyte system EC/DEC/LiClO 4 with 4A molecular sieve and lithiated 4A molecular sieve, by which the trace amount of water was removed. The concentrations of Na+ and Li+ were determined by atomic adsorption spectrometry. The cycle performance of lithium/improved graphite cells was then examined by charging and discharging under the constant electric current. The results demonstrated that the cycle performance of the cells was destroyed by the high concentration of Na+ under the small electric current. With the increase of electric current the cell became less …

Aqueous Processing And Mechanical Properties Of Plzt Green Tapes, Jian-Huei Feng, Fatih Dogan
Materials Science and Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
Aqueous tape casting of lanthanum-modified lead zirconate titanate (PLZT) was performed using commercial poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) binders and various plasticizers. Colloidal properties of PLZT suspensions containing only polyelectrolyte dispersant were characterized by zeta potential, conductivity, and viscosity measurements. The effects of molecular weight as well as chemical structures of plasticizers and binders on green tapes were investigated by tensile testing. The tapes made from low molecular weight plasticizers showed higher plasticity, and glycerol was found to be the most effective plasticizer for PVA. Strong hydrogen bonding in high hydrolysis PVAs led to green tapes with high strength and high …

One-Dimensional Nature Of The Magnetic Fluctuations In Yba2cu3o6.6, Herbert A. Mook, Pengcheng Dai, Fatih Dogan, Rodney Dale Hunt
Materials Science and Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
There is increasing evidence that inhomogeneous distributions of charge and spin—so-called ‘striped phases’—play an important role in determining the properties of the high-temperature superconductors. For example, recent neutron-scattering measurements on the YBa2Cu3O7-x family of materials show both spin and charge fluctuations that are consistent with the striped-phase picture. But the fluctuations associated with a striped phase are expected to be one-dimensional, whereas the magnetic fluctuations observed to date appear to display two-dimensional symmetry. We show here that this apparent two-dimensionality results from measurements on twinned crystals, and that similar measurements on substantially detwinned crystals of …

Doctoral Dissertations
Three-dimensional laser chemical vapor deposition (3D-LCVD) has been used to grow rods of carbon, tungsten, titanium, and hafnium from a variety of hydrocarbons and metal halide-based precursors. A novel computerized 3D-LCVD system was designed and successfully used in the experiments. A focused Nd:Yag laser beam (λ = 1.06 μm) was utilized to locally heat up a substrate to deposition temperature. The rods, which grew along the axis of the laser beam, had a typical diameter of 30–80 μm and a length of about 1 mm. The precursors for carbon deposition were the alkynes: propyne, butyne, pentyne, hexyne, and octyne. Propyne …

The methyl-d3 dynamics of two relatively similar polymers, poly(alpha-methylstyrene) (PAMS-d3) and polymethylphenylsilane (PMPS-d3), are investigated via deuterium NMR relaxation experiments. Our analysis of the relaxation data uses the entire solid-echo spectra to maximize the precision of the experiments with regard to the information available on the methyl dynamics. The analysis is novel in that it does not use M[infinity] or M0 to fit the relaxation data. Additionally, the three-site symmetric jump model is shown to not have an observable azimuthal angular dependence for T1 relaxation. The methyl dynamics are quantified with taum, sigma, and f which are the log-average correlation …
Pulsed Optoacoustics In Solids, Zibiao Wei
Pulsed Optoacoustics In Solids, Zibiao Wei
Electrical & Computer Engineering Theses & Dissertations
Optoacoustic techniques are widely used to probe and characterize target materials including solids, liquids and gases. Included in such applications are diagnoses of thin films and semiconductor materials. The need to obtain greater spatial resolution requires the generation of shorter optoacoustic pulses. For such pulses, non-thermal effects may be quite important. On the other hand, even when an optoacoustic pulse is generated by an initially non-thermal technique, the thermal aspects become important in its evolution and propagation. The research undertaken in this Ph.D. dissertation included the generation and detection of optoacoustic signals through the thermal elastic mechanism. Several applications in …

Silicon Carbide is a very promising candidate for applications in high-power, high-temperature, and high-radiation conditions under which conventional semiconductors cannot perform adequately. However, the SiC processing technology has not yet reached maturity. There is also limited knowledge of its physical and chemical characteristics, and its device behavior is not well understood. The aim of this thesis is to analyze two specific problems in the SiC area. The first issue involves the large discrepancy between experimental I - V characteristics of SiC Schottky diodes and their theoretical values. The observed data, especially at low voltages, is found to be orders of …

A Comparison Of Quasi-Static Indentation Testing To Low Velocity Impact Testing, Michael J. Douglas
Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering Theses & Dissertations
A static test method for modeling low-velocity foreign object impact events to composites would prove to be very beneficial to researchers since much more data can be obtained from a static test than from an impact test. In order to examine if this is feasible, a series of static indentation and low velocity impact tests were carried out and compared. Square specimens of many sizes and thicknesses were utilized to cover the array of types of low velocity impact events. Laminates with a rt/4 stacking sequence were employed since this is by far the most common type of engineering laminate. …

The atomic structure of iron phosphate glasses containing uranium has been studied by complementary neutron and x-ray scattering techniques. by combining x-ray and neutron structure factors, detailed information about different pair interactions has been obtained. Most of the basic structural features such as coordination numbers and O-O and P-O distances in uranium containing glasses are the same as those in the base glass of batch composition 40Fe2O3-60P2O5 (mol %). However, the Fe-O distances change slightly with the addition of uranium. The observed structural parameters support a structural model in which the waste elements occupy voids in the Fe-O-P network, hence, …

Journal of Electrochemistry
Carbon films were made using spray-thermal evaporation from a kind of pyrolytic carbon powder. The films obtained with graphite structure were both potentio-statically and galvanostaically tested. Cycling patterns indicated a reduction peak on the first cycle corresponding to the formation of solid electrolyte interface, and the capacity values and x values were quite acceptable compared to theoretical ones when charging-discharging current density was suitable. Based on the experimental results, the obtained carbon films could be used as anode materials for relatively determining the electrochemical performances of cathode materials.
