ID No: FC-169 ABSTRACT The continuous fiber reinforced self-healing ceramic composites (shFRC) were proposed as one of the candidate materials for turbine blade [1]. The shFRC consists of three components, which are oxide fiber bundle, oxide matrix and self-healing agent interlayer. As the self-healing is generated at only the interlayer, it is necessary that crack propagation is led into the i...

We discuss a methodology for calculating the interlayer transport characteristics of electron-hole bilayer graphene at spontaneous coherence using path integral Monte Carlo and recursive scattering matrices at room temperature. We find transport characteristics very similar to that of the quantum Hall bilayer case in that there is a large peak in the differential interlayer conductance at low i...

The causative mutation for the black-and-tan (a (t) ) phenotype in dogs was previously shown to be a SINE insertion in the 5' region of Agouti Signaling Protein (ASIP). Dogs with the black-and-tan phenotype, as well as dogs with the saddle tan phenotype, genotype as a (t) /_ at this locus. We have identified a 16-bp duplication (g.1875_1890dupCCCCAGGTCAGAGTTT) in an intron of hnRNP associated w...

High Al content AlxGa1-xN/GaN multiple quantum well (MQW) films with different interlayers were grown by metal organic chemical vapor deposition. These MQWs were designed to achieve intersubband (ISB) absorption in the mid-infrared spectral range. We have considered two growth conditions, with AlGaN interlayer and GaN/AlN superlattice (SL) interlayer, both deposited on GaN-on-sapphire templates...

van der Waals homo- and heterostructures assembled by stamping monolayers together present optoelectronic properties suitable for diverse applications. Understanding the details of the interlayer stacking and resulting coupling is crucial for tuning these properties. We investigated the low-frequency interlayer shear and breathing Raman modes (<50 cm(-1)) in twisted bilayer MoS2 by Raman spectr...

We have imaged the magnetic fields at the edges of the conducting planes of a single crystal of the layered organic superconductor κ-(BEDTTTF)2Cu(NCS)2. The spatial dependence of these fields agrees well with a Josephson-coupled layer model with some inhomogeneity in the interlayer coupling, providing a direct measurement of the interlayer coupling strength. This coupling is sufficiently weak a...

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were employed to investigate the energetics of carbon dioxide migration within hydrated or anhydrous graphene oxides (GOs). When anhydrous GO structures contain a carbon dioxide molecule, the carbon dioxide interacts repulsively with the GO layers to increase the interlayer spacing. The repulsive electrostatic interactions are reduced by the insertio...
