Strongly confined NaVO$^+$ segregation and its thermo-responsive functionality at the interface between simple sputter-deposited amorphous vanadium oxide thin films soda-lime glass was substantiated in present study by in-situ temperature-controlled Time of Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (ToF-SIMS). The obtained ToF-SIMS depth profiles provided unambiguous evidence for a reversible tran...

Here, M is the magnetization of an excited sample placed in a static magnetic field B0, γ is the gyromagnetic ratio, Mx, My, Mz are the components of magnetization in the x, y and z directions, M0 is the magnetization at thermal equilibrium, T1 and T2 are the longitudinal and transverse relaxation times and D is the diffusion coefficient. The first two terms of Equation 1 are the original Bloch...

Drawing from institutional and bandwagon theories, we develop and examine how characteristics of an innovation—radicality and scope—affect diffusion rates—the extent and speed of diffusion. The hypotheses are empirically tested with a sample of 82 new product innovations in three separate industries over a sixteen-year time span. We find that: (1) the greater the radicality of innovation, the h...

A http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.pepi.2013.03.001 E-mail address: [email protected] The relationship between isotope diffusion coefficient and electrical conductivity is examined for a material where a dominant charge-carrying atomic species (e.g., hydrogen) is present as various forms with different diffusion coefficients (e.g., two proton...

Harvesting cultivated macrophages for tissue engineering purposes by enzymatic digestion of cell adhesion molecules can potentially result in unintended activation, altered function, or behavior of these cells. Thermo-responsive polymer is a promising tool that allows for gentle macrophage detachment without artificial activation prior to subculture within engineered tissue constructs. We there...

In order to investigate chlorine isotope behaviour, it was necessary to develop analytical methods and methods for data interpretation. The accuracy, precision and amount dependency of chlorine isotope ratio analyses performed with gas chromatography quadrupol mass-spectrometry (GC-qMS) were evaluated for two Agilent and Thermo instruments. The calibration of raw data to SMOC scale (Standard Me...

The central shift of 57Fe atoms with trapped interstitials (mixed dumbbells) in aluminium increases steeply at temperatures between 10 and 20 K. Influences of restricted diffusion of the Mossbauer atom in a cage on the isomer shift and second order Doppler shift are discussed.

The analysis of rotational effect on the characteristics of plane waves propagating in a half space of generalized thermo-piezoelectric medium is presented in context of linear theory of thermo-piezoelectricity including Coriolis and centrifugal forces. The governing equations for a rotating generalized thermo-piezoelectric medium are formulated and solved for plane wave solutions to show the p...
