We have investigated the electronic and geometric structures in the lowest excited states of six phosphorescent heteroleptic [CuI(NN)(DPEphos)]+ (DPEphos = bis[(2-diphenylphosphino)phenyl]ether) complexes with varying NN = diimine ligand structures using density functional theory. In comparison to the ground state, the results show a decrease of the dihedral angle between the N–Cu–N and P–Cu–P planes for these excited states with mixed ligand-to-ligand (DPEphos lone pair → π∗(NN)) and metal-to-ligand charge transfer (dπ(Cu) → π∗(NN)) character. Sterically less demanding ligands facilitate this process, which is accompanied by a geometric relaxation of the DPEphos ligand and contraction of...

The anatase phase of titania was stabilised with physically modifying particulate sol-gel process. Two major parameters, peptisation temperature and drying temperature, were identified which were responsible for retarding the anatase to rutile phase transformation, crystal growth and packing of primary particles. The critical nucleus size of transformation was controlled by natural (at 25 °C) and artificial (at 50 and 70 °C) peptisation techniques. Moreover, sintering of primary particles was controlled by cool (at 0 and 5 °C) and normal (at 25 °C) drying techniques. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) analysis confirmed that a full conversion of titanium isopropoxide is obtained... 

The effects of Misch-Metal (MM) oxide addition on magnetic properties, crystal structure and microstructure of the M-type strontium ferrite have been studied. By MM substitution of Sr a significant increase in intrinsic coercivity and a slight decrease in remanence was observed. The highest value of energy product was obtained at 4 wt.% MM addition. By calculating the lattice constants of 4 and 8 wt.% MM added specimens, it was found that the length of c-axis decreases by 4 wt.% MM addition and then undergoes a considerable increase at 8 wt.%, while the a-axis increases monotonously. The SEM observations revealed that the migration of MM oxides to the grain boundaries could be the major... 

Often, during fabrication of thin films on substrates, different types of defects may be introduced into the films. Recently, the determination of the elastic fields due to the self-assembly of quantum dots or strained islands in thin films has been of major concern. In the micromechanical studies, such strained islands are modeled by inclusions. This paper aims to develop a theory pertaining to the presence of nano-inclusions of various geometries within thin films having face centered cubic (fcc) structure. To this end, the notion of eigenstrain is combined with a many body inter-atomic potential suitable for fcc crystals. The interaction between atoms is modeled via Sutton-Chen (SC)... 

The examination of the effect of couple stresses on anti-plane electro-mechanical behaviour of piezoelectric media is of interest. The constitutive equations of piezoelectricity for a transversely isotropic piezoelectric medium of crystal class C6 v = 6   mm are derived in the context of couple stress elasticity. In this framework, a characteristic length appears in the formulation of anti-plane problems, by which examination of the size effect is possible. Also stemming from this approach is a new elasticity constant defined as the ratio of couple stress to the curvature, which based on the assumption of positive definiteness of the internal energy density, must be positive. For... 

Artificial neural network was used to calculate the performance of a model supercapacitor as signified by the power density, energy density and utilization to the synthetic, intrinsic and operating characteristics. A four-layer neural net having two hidden layers having 6 and 15 nodes was found to be well capable of simulating the capacitor performance with the convergence achieved often a relatively small number of epochs. As for the input parameters, crystal size, surface lattice length, exchange current density of the capacitor active material and the cell current employed while utilization, energy density and power density were the outputs. © 2006 Elsevier B.V.

EDX analysis showed the presence of phosphorus elements in the crystalline structure of TiO2 and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy showed the energy...
