AbstractThis paper deals with fundamental molecular issues related to macroscopic mechanical properties of nano-meso-microscale montmorillonite clay particulate systems. Molecular interaction of high aspect montmorillonite particles with solvents has large influence on resulting swelling characteristics in clays consisting of montmorillonite. A new controlled uniaxial swelling (CUS) cell is designed which allows a simultaneous measurement of swelling and swelling pressure in addition to ease of removal of undisturbed samples for electron microscopic and fourier transform infrared spectroscopic investigations. Our work shows that the swelling behavior of montmorillonite directly results from breakdown of large particles to smaller nano and meso scale particles with increased water incorporation in the interlayers. The Si-O vibration band regions of the montmorillonite spectra obtained at controlled amounts of swelling from 0-100% (where 0% swelling is defined as fully saturated samples under no volume change) show changes in band shape, intensity, and positions resulting from increased H-bonding in the interlayers and surface of montmorillonite particles. In addition, orientation dependant micro-attenuated total reflectance (ATR) spectroscopic investigations are also conducted on the controlled swelled samples. Our results indicate that the reduced particle size with increased swelling is related to increased misorientation of the montmorillonite platelets. The relationship between molecular interactions microstructure and macroscopic response (swelling and swelling pressure) is the key to development of novel nanocomposite systems based on montmorillonite with tailored properties.

ABSTRACTThe edge termination of SiC by the implantation of an inert ion species is used widely to increase the breakdown voltage of high power devices. We report results of the edge termination of Schottky barrier diodes using 30keV Ar+ ions with particular emphasis on the role of postimplant, relatively low temperature, annealing. The device leakage current measured at 100V is increased from 2.5nA to 7μA by the implantation of 30keV Ar+ ions at a dose of 1×1015 cm−2. This is reduced by two orders of magnitude following annealing at 600°C for 60 seconds, while a breakdown voltage in excess of 750V is maintained. The thermal evolution of the defects introduced by the implantation was monitored using positron annihilation spectroscopy (PAS) and deep-level-transient spectroscopy (DLTS). While a concentration of open-volume defects in excess of 1×1019cm−3 is measured using PAS in all samples, electrically active trapping sites are observed at concentrations ∼1×1015cm−3 using DLTS. The trap level is well-defined at Ec−Et = 0.9eV.

AbstractWhitehouse adapts insights from evolutionary anthropology to interpret extreme self-sacrifice through the concept of identity fusion. The model neglects the role of normative systems in shaping behaviors, especially in relation to violent extremism. In peaceful groups, increasing fusion will actually decrease extremism. Groups collectively appraise threats and opportunities, actively debate action options, and rarely choose violence toward self or others.
