Pugmire, Ronald J. | Soot formation during coal pyrolysis | Soot can be found in almost all combustion and pyrolysis systems. In a coal system, the impact of soot on coal combustion can be identified in two ways. First, soot particles suspended in the combustion flame significantly enhance radiative heat transfer near the burner due to their large surface ar... | | 2001 |

Stringfellow, Gerald B. | Effects of surfactants Sb and Bi on the incorporation of zinc and carbon in III/V materials grown by organometallic vapor-phase epitaxy | The incorporation of both dopants and background impurities during the organometallic vapor phase epitaxial _x0002_OMVPE_x0003_ growth of GaAs, GaInP, and GaP has been significantly altered by the use of the surfactants Sb and Bi. Sb and Bi are isoelectronic with the group V host elements, and so ... | Physical and chemical processes; Surfactants isoelectronic; Electrochemical C-V profilometry | 2006 |

Scarpulla, Michael | Air shear driven flow of thin perfluoropolyether polymer films | We have studied the wind driven movement of thin perfluoropolyether (PFPE) polymer films on silicon wafers and CNx overcoats using the blow-off technique. The ease with which a liquid polymer film moves across a surface when sheared is described by a shear mobility xS , which can be interpreted both... | Perfluoropolyether; Polymer films; Air shear; Shear mobility | 2003 |

Stringfellow, Gerald B. | Surface photoabsorption transients and ordering in GaInP | Heterostructures and quantum wells can be produced in GaInP without changing the solid composition by simply varying the order parameter. Since CuPt ordering reduces the band-gap energy, changes in the order parameter induced by changes in growth conditions result in heterostructures with band-ga... | Order parameters; Quantum wells; P-dimers | 1998-03-15 |

Liu, Feng | Pressure-induced transition in magnetoresistance of single-walled carbon nanotubes | We applied hydrostatic pressure (up to 10 GPa) to single-walled carbon nanotube bundles at low temperature (down to 2 K) to measure their magnetoresistance (MR) in a field up to 12 T. We found a pressure-induced transition in MR from positive to negative in the high-field regime. The onset of the tr... | Single-walled carbon nanotubes; Pressure-induced | 2006-07 |

Liu, Feng | Origin of intergranular embrittlement of Al alloys induced by Na and Ca segregation: grain boundary weakening | Using a first-principles computational tensile test, we show that the ideal tensile strength of an Al grain boundary (GB) is reduced with both Na and Ca GB segregation. We demonstrate that the fracture occurs in the GB interface, dominated by the break of the interfacial bonds.
