It is shown that the dielectric response of Ba(0.77)Sr(0.23)TiO(3) nanoparticles at temperatures below 200 K has a frequency and temperature dependence in agreement with the Debye theory with a single relaxation time, which exhibits the Arrhenius law. By contrast, at temperatures above 210 K the dielectric response exhibits a broad range of relaxation times characteristic of relaxor-ferroelectr...

We report a systematic study for metal-on-metal surface migration in the weak corrugation regime, i.e., with migration barriers falling below approximately 100 meV. The migration characteristics are elucidated by variable-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy observations in the 50-200 K temperature range, which are analyzed by means of nucleation theory. The results demonstrate that, upon ...

We study a mathematical model for high Lewis number combustion processes with the reaction rate of the form of an Arrhenius aw with or without an ignition cut-off. An efficient method for the proof of the existence and uniqueness of combustion fronts is rovided by geometric singular perturbation theory. The fronts supported by the model with very large Lewis numbers are small erturbations of th...

Building on the elastically collective nonlinear Langevin equation theory developed for hard spheres in Paper I, we propose and implement a quasi-universal theory for the alpha relaxation of thermal liquids based on mapping them to an effective hard sphere fluid via the dimensionless compressibility. The result is a zero adjustable parameter theory that can quantitatively address in a unified m...

In recent years there has been a revival of interest in the micellar theory of structure proposed by N~tgeli in 1852 as a theory for the structure of protoplasm. This theory has been taken over by colloid chemists and applied to the structure of many colloids as a result of the work of Zsigmondy (1), Pauli (2), McBaln (3, 4) and their coworkers. Laing and McBain (4) have further extended the mi...

A non-Arrhenius model based on the Mittag-Leffler function has been conceived as a basic concept. This approach allows modelling both sub-Arrhenius and super-Arrhenius behaviours giving rise to modified temperature integrals.

An approach for computing the correlations of species richness values obtained from nested and non-nested sampling schemes is described. The correlations obtained are used to construct species accumulation curves for the Carolina Vegetation Survey data set using the log Arrhenius, Gleason, and Arrhenius models. These models are then used to predict the richness at the 400 m2 scale, a value outs...

Many articles have been published on the uncertainty analysis of high temperature gas kinetic systems that are based on detailed reaction mechanisms. In all these articles a temperature independent relative uncertainty of the rate coefficient is assumed, although the chemical kinetics databases suggest temperature dependent uncertainty factors for most of the reactions. The temperature dependen...
