Thermo-sensitive N-n-propylacrylamide gels

Thermo-sensitive gels were prepared by irradiating aqueous solutions of poly(N-n-propylacrylamide) (NNPA) and its copolymers with acrylic acid (AA) with γ-rays from a ⁶⁰Co source. The equilibrium swelling volume of the gel in water was determined as a function of temperature. NNPA gel showed a discontinuous and reversible volume phase transition. The transition temperature and the volume change at the transition decreased with irradiation time. The transition temperature was approximately 12°C lower than that of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) gel. A discontinuous volume transition was also observed in the copolymer gels of NNPA and AA. The dependence of the transition temperature on the concentration of carboxyl groups revealed a marked difference depending on whether they were protonated or dissociated. For gels having side groups of COONa, the transition temperature rose and the volume change at the transition was elevated as the COONa concentration increased. In contrast, an increase in the COOH concentration resulted in a decrease in the transition temperature. These results are discussed in terms of an equation of state constructed based on scaling theory.     

Correlations of modulation noise with magnetic microstructure, transition parameter and rms transition variation for CoCrTa and CoNi thin film media

We report the modulation noise, magnetic microstructure, and transition region characteristics of two thin film media (CoCrTa and CoNi). The magnetic microstructure of these films was observed by using scanning electron microscopy with polarization analysis (SEMPA). The rms variation of the magnetization transition across the track was calculated by digitizing the SEMPA image. The same digitized data were used to find a function that would best fit the transition region. The error function gave a better fit for the transition region than the arctan function. The transition parameter was also estimated from the isolated pulse width and this value was comparable to the value obtained from the error function fit. The rms transition variation for the two samples correlate strongly with integrated noise voltage.     

Pressure-induced phase transition(s) in KMnF3 and the importance of the excess volume for phase transitions in perovskite structures

We report a pressure-dependent investigation of KMnF(3) by x-ray diffraction up to 30 GPa. The results are discussed in the framework of Landau theory and in relation to the isostructural phase transition in SrTiO(3). The phase transition temperature near 186 K in KMnF(3) shifts to room temperature at a critical pressure of P(c) = 3.4 GPa; the pressure dependence of the transition point follows ΔP(c)/ΔT(c) = 0.0315 GPa K(-1). The transition becomes second order under high pressure, close to the tricritical point. The phase transition is determined by the rotation of MnF(6) octahedra with their simultaneous expansion along the rotation axis. The rotation angle was found to increase to 10.5° at 24 GPa. An additional anomaly was observed at higher pressure around 25 GPa, suggesting a further phase transition.     

Analysis of magnetization transition in perpendicular magnetic recording for narrow transition width

In order to achieve high linear density recording, a narrow transition width or small transition parameter, a, is imperative. Reducing the grain size improves transition jitter and also reduces the transition width. The correlation between transition width and transition jitter was examined. The observed discrepancy from simple, analytical expressions introduces more realistic magnetization transitions with island magnetization reversals. It was found that island reversals increase the transition width, rather than the transition jitter, which must be suppressed to attain high linear density.     

Structural phase transition of vanadium at 69 GPa

A phase transition was observed at 63-69 GPa and room temperature in vanadium with synchrotron x-ray diffraction. The transition is characterized as a rhombohedral lattice distortion of the body-centered-cubic vanadium without a discontinuity in the pressure-volume data, thus representing a novel type of transition that has never been observed in elements. Instead of driven by the conventional s-d electronic transition mechanism, the phase transition could be associated with the softening of C44 trigonal elasticity tensor that originates from the combination of Fermi surface nesting, band Jahn-Teller distortion, and electronic topological transition.     

In situ monitoring of solid‐state transition of p‐aminobenzoic acid polymorphs using Raman spectroscopy

The purpose of this study is to investigate the mechanism of solid‐state polymorphic transition of p‐aminobenzoic acid (PABA) using in situ Raman spectroscopy measurement. The polymorphic transition experiments were conducted on a micro quartz vessel mounted on a microscope, hot and cold stage, under isothermal conditions. The temperature was precisely controlled by a standalone temperature controller equipped with liquid nitrogen cooling system. The Raman spectroscopy probe was positioned on the surface of the solid sample in the micro vessel. The polymorphic transition progression was in situ monitored and recorded by Raman spectroscopy. Based on the polymorphic transition rate resulted from the quantitative analysis of Raman spectra, the mechanism of solid‐state polymorphic transition of PABA was examined by various empirical kinetic models. An Arrhenius analysis was also performed to calculate activation energies from 134.7 kJ mol⁻¹ to 137.7 kJ mol⁻¹ for the transition. The results demonstrated that in situ Raman spectroscopy is a valuable and accurate technique to probe polymorphic transition process. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Determination of the phase boundary of GaP using in situ high pressure and high-temperature X-ray diffraction

The high pressure behavior of gallium phosphide, GaP, has been examined using the synchrotron X-ray diffraction technique in a diamond anvil cell up to 27?GPa and 900?K. The transition from a semiconducting to a metallic phase was observed. This transition occurred at 22.2?GPa and room temperature, and a negative dependence of temperature of this transition was found. The transition boundary was determined to be P (GPa)?=?22.6???0.0014?×?T (K).     

A Raman and dielectric study of a diffuse phase transition in (Pb<Subscript>1-x</Subscript>Ca<Subscript>x</Subscript>)TiO<Subscript>3</Subscript> thin films

Dielectric and Raman scattering experiments were performed on polycrystalline Pb_1-xCa_xTiO₃ thin films (x=0.10, 0.20, 0.30, and 0.40) as a function of temperature. The results showed no shift in the dielectric constant (K) maxima, a broadening with frequency, and a linear dependence of the transition temperature on increasing Ca²⁺ content. On the other hand, a diffuse-type phase transition was observed upon transforming from the cubic paraelectric to the tetragonal ferroelectric phase in all thin films. The temperature dependence of Raman scattering spectra was investigated through the ferroelectric phase transition. The temperature dependence of the phonon frequencies was used to characterize the phase transitions. Raman modes persisted above the tetragonal to cubic phase transition temperature, although all optical modes should be Raman inactive. The origin of these modes was interpreted in terms of a breakdown of the local cubic symmetry due to chemical disorder. The lack of a well-defined transition temperature and the presence of broad bands in some temperature interval above the FE–PE phase transition temperature suggested a diffuse-type phase transition. This result corroborates the dielectric constant versus temperature data, which showed a broad ferroelectric phase transition in these thin films.

Effect of the surface roughness of blunt cone forebody on the position of laminar-turbulent transition

In the present paper, data on the effect of the surface roughness of blunt cone forebody on the position of laminar-turbulent transition are reported. The study was carried out under freestream Mach 5.95. It was found that the roughness position plays a substantial role in the transition process. Critical Reynolds numbers at which the laminar-turbulent transition occurs on the nose-tip of the model were identified. For the first time, hysteresis in transition position was observed.     

Phase behavior of DODAB aqueous solution

Phase behavior of DODAB aqueous solution, prepared without sonication, was studied by adiabatic scanning calorimetry. Measurements revealed four phase transitions with the temperatures 35.2, 39.6, 44.6, and 52.4°C at heating and one transition at the temperature 40.4°C at cooling. The first three transitions at heating occur in unilamellar vesicles. The first and third transitions correspond to the subgel-gel and gelliquid phase transitions, corresponding enthalpy jumps are equal to 33 and 49 kJ/mol. The second transition appears after some aging and is similar to gel-ripple phase transition in a DPPC solution, with the enthalpy jump under the transition exceeding 7.4 kJ/mol. The transition occurs in unilamellar vesicles. The transition at the temperature 52.4°C occurs in another subsystem of the solution, which we believe to be multilamellar vesicles. The enthalpy jump at this transition is equal to 97 kJ/mol, and data analysis suggests that this is a subgel-liquid transition. The phase transition at cooling is the liquid-gel transition in unilamellar vesicles. During the measurements, a slow evolution of the solution occurs, consisting in a change of concentrations of unilamellar and multilamellar vesicles. This transformation mainly occurs at low temperatures.     

A polymerization-depolymerization model for generation of contractile force during bacterial cell division

We have investigated the pressure-induced phase transition of NiO and other structural properties using three-body potential approach. NiO undergoes phase transition from B1 (rocksalt) to B2 (CsCl) structure associated with a sudden collapse in volume showing first-order phase transition. A theoretical study of high pressure phase transition and elastic behaviour in transition metal compounds using a three-body potential caused by the electron shell deformation of the overlapping ion was carried out. The phase transition pressure and other properties predicted by our model is closer to the phase transition pressure predicted by Eto et al.      

Dynamic mechanical characterization of relaxations in poly(oxymethylene), miscible blends,and oriented filaments

Multifrequency dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) data were obtained for molded poly(oxymethylene) (POM) and its blends from-150°C to 150°C. Because of the high crystallinity, the assignment of the glass transition in POM has been controversial in the literature. Low and high glass transition temperature (T _g) phenolated compounds, including poly(vinyl phenol), were found to be miscible with POM. The shift of the β transition in the POM blends favors an assignment of the β transition detected at ?3°C(1 Hz), not the ?80°C γ transition, as the T _g in semicrystalline POM because the latter is invariant with diluent. The peak at the β transition in pure POM is weak and can only be seen clearly by DMA measurements on samples that have not “aged” at ambient temperature. This is further evidence that the β transition arises from a cooperative glass-transition-like motion. The γ transition is not influenced by aging because it is due to a concerted localized main chain motion. The β transition of an oriented POM filament can be seen in the DMA flexural loss spectrum at-18°C (1 Hz), but not in a tensile loss spectrum. The broad a relaxation was detected at about 110°C (1 Hz) in molded POM and its blends, while it was shifted to about 135°C in the higher crystallinity, oriented system. The α peak is also independent of diluent, consistent with a crystalline origin for this transition, as was proposed earlier.     

Nonlinear resonance induced by the higher spatial coherence harmonics

The spectrum of a test field in a three-level ArII Λ scheme in the presence of a strong standing wave on the adjacent transition was measured. The known light-induced transparency peak was observed; the peak shifted as the detuning of the strong field was varied. In addition, a new resonance in the line center arose whose position was independent of the strong-field frequency. The resonance was caused by the higher spatial coherence harmonics on the test transition. Perturbation theory for a low and numerical calculations for a high standing wave intensity give qualitative agreement with experiment and substantiate the nature of the central transition.     

Stability of the proton-to-electron mass ratio

We report a limit on the fractional temporal variation of the proton-to-electron mass ratio as 1/(m(P)/m(e)) partial differential/partial differential(t)(m(P)/m(e))=(-3.8+/-5.6) x 10(-14) yr(-1), obtained by comparing the frequency of a rovibrational transition in SF6 with the fundamental hyperfine transition in Cs. The SF6 transition was accessed using a CO2 laser to interrogate spatial 2-photon Ramsey fringes. The atomic transition was accessed using a primary standard controlled with a Cs fountain. This result is direct and model-free.     

Effect of unit Reynolds number on the laminar-turbulent transition on a swept wing in supersonic flow

An experimental study of the influence of unit Reynolds number on the position of laminar-turbulent transition in swept-wing boundary layer at supersonic flow velocities was carried out. In the experiments, a swept-wing model with 3-% circular arc airfoil and 45-deg gliding angle of wing edges was used. The position of the transition was iden-tified using a hot-wire anemometer. It was found that at М = 2 and 2.5, an increase in the unit Reynolds number (Re₁) leads to a transition delay. It was shown that an increase in freestream Mach number and in the level of flow pulsations in the wind-tunnel test section leads to a less pronounced influence of Re1 on the transition position. At a high noise level due to the growth of Mach number or due to the introduction of vortical disturbances, no effect due to unit Reyn-olds number on the transition position was observed.
