Highly resolved scanning tunneling microscopy study of Si(0 0 1) surfaces flattened in aqueous environment

A surface preparation method with fine SiO₂ particles in water is developed to flatten Si(0 0 1) surfaces on the nanometer scale. The flattening performance of Si(0 0 1) surfaces after the surface preparation method is investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy. The observed surface is so flat that 95% of the view area (100 × 100 nm²) is composed of only three atomic layers, namely, one dominant layer occupying 50% of the entire area and two adjacent layers. Furthermore, a magnified image shows the outermost Si atoms regularly distributed along the 〈1 1 0〉 direction on terraces.     

Initial incorporation of sulfur into the Pd(1 1 1) surface: A theoretical study

Density functional theory is used to investigate the initial inclusion of sulfur into the subsurface interstitial sites of Pd(1 1 1) surface. Pure subsurface adsorption is found to be less energetically favorable than on-surface adsorption. The incorporation of sulfur into the metal becomes more favorable than continuous adsorption on the surface after a critical on-surface sulfur coverage. We find subsurface sulfur occupation to be energetically favorable after adsorption of more than half a monolayer on the surface. Occupation of subsurface sites induces a pronounced structural distortion of the Pd(1 1 1) surface. We find significant expansion of interplanar spacing between the uppermost surface metal layers and rearrangement of the S overlayer. The interplay between the energy cost due to structural distortion of Pd(1 1 1) and the energy gain due to bond formation for different structures is discussed.

A New Higher Order Shear Deformation Model for Static Behavior of Functionally Graded Plates

In this paper, a new displacement based high-order shear deformation theory is introduced for the static response of functionally graded plate. Unlike any other theory, the number of unknown functions involved is only four, as against five in case of other shear deformation theories. The theory presented is variationally consistent, has strong similarity with classical plate theory in many aspects, does not require shear correction factor, and gives rise to transverse shear stress variation such that the transverse shear stresses vary parabolically across the thickness satisfying shear stress free surface conditions. The mechanical properties of the plate are assumed to vary continuously in the thickness direction by a simple power-law distribution in terms of the volume fractions of the constituents. Numerical illustrations concerned flexural behavior of FG plates with Metal-Ceramic composition. Parametric studies are performed for varying ceramic volume fraction, volume fraction profiles, aspect ratios and length to thickness ratios. The validity of the present theory is investigated by comparing some of the present results with those of the classical, the first-order and the other higher-order theories. It can be concluded that the proposed theory is accurate and simple in solving the static behavior of functionally graded plates.     

Orientational order parameter estimated from molecular polarizabilities – an optical study

An optical study of N-(p-n-alkyloxybenzylidene)-p-n-butyloxyanilines, nO.O4 compounds with the alkoxy chain number n?=?1, 3, 6, 7, and 10 has been carried out by measuring the refractive indices using modified spectrometer and direct measurement of birefringence employing the Newton's rings method. Further, the molecular polarizability anisotropies are evaluated using Lippincott δ-function model, the molecular vibration method, Haller's extrapolation method, and scaling factor method. The molecular polarizabilities α _e and α ₀ are calculated using Vuk's isotropic and Neugebauer anisotropic local field models. The order parameter S is estimated by employing the molecular polarizability values determined from experimental refractive indices and density data and the polarizability anisotropy values. Further, the order parameter S is also obtained directly from the birefringence data. A comparison has been carried out among the order parameter obtained from different ways and the results are compared with the body of the data available in the literature.

We present a fitting method for obtaining a functional form of the refractive index profile of planar microlenses made by ion exchange techniques from total shearing interferometric measurements. Compared to the usual power series expansion fit, this method allows a reduction in the number of coefficients needed to characterize a lens.
