Abstract Summarizing, the following important conclusions may be drawn from these experiments on a typical unaccelerated soft gum compound. 1. The existence of the inversion point in the stress-temperature curves is shown to be due solely to ordinary volume thermal expansion, and may be eliminated by correcting for this thermal expansion. 2. The curves given in Figure 8a show that, for compounds of this type, the change of entropy with elongation accounts for more than 90 per cent of the total stress at room temperature, while the internal-energy contribution is less than 10 per cent and, to a first approximation, may be neglected. In other words, the retractive force is due almost entirely to the tendency of the extended rubber molecules to return to a less ordered curled-up state. This is in direct contrast to the elasticity exhibited by ordinary bodies, in which case elasticity is due to intermolecular forces. 3. The contribution of the entropy force to the total force is well represented by the theoretical expression of James and Guth. This agreement constitutes our main reason for interpreting the entropy force as being due to the kinetic motion of the rubber molecules.

AbstractIn general, the main compositions of porcelain and bone china composed of 54-65%wt silica (SiO2), 23-34% wt alumina (Al2O3) and 0.2-0.7%wt calcium oxide (CaO) suitable for preparation high quality ceramic products such as soft-hard porcelain products for teeth and bones, bioceramics, IC substrate and magneto-optoelectroceramics. The quality of ceramic hand mold is depended on raw material and its properties (pH, ionic strength, solid-liquid surface tension, particle size distribution, specific surface area, porosity, density, microstructure, weight ratio between solid and water, drying time, and firing temperatures). The suitable firing conditions for porcelain and bone china hand-mold preparation were firing at 1270°C for 10 h which resulted in superior working molds for making latex films from natural and synthetic rubber. The obtained fired porcelain hand molds at 1270°C for 10 h provided good chemical durability (10%NaOH, 5%HCl and 10%wtNaCl), low thermal expansion coefficient (5.8570 × 10−6 (°C−1)), good compressive (179.40 MPa) and good flexural strength (86 MPa). While thermal expansion coefficient, compressive and flexural strength of obtained fired bone china hand molds are equal to 6.9230 × 10−6 (°C−1), 128.40 and 73.70 MPa, respectively, good acid-base-salt resistance, a smooth mold surface, and easy hand mold fabrication. Both obtained porcelain and bone china hand molds are a low production cost, making them suitable for natural and synthetic rubber latex glove formation.

In this investigation, ZrxY2−xVxMo3−xO12 (0 ≤ x ≤ 1.4) is developed and the effects of the substitutions of Zr4+/V5+ for Y3+/Mo6+ in Y2Mo3O12 on the hygroscopicity and thermal expansion property are investigated. For the smaller substitution content (x ≤ 0.5), their crystal structures remain orthorhombic, while there is crystal water still in the lattice. The linear coefficients of thermal expansions (CTEs), for x = 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, and 0.7, are about −4.30 × 10−6, −0.97 × 10−6, 0.85 × 10−6, and 0.77 × 10−6 K−1, respectively, from 476 to 773 K, which means that the linear CTE could be changed linearly with the substitution content of Zr4+/V5+ for Y3+/Mo6+ in Y2Mo3O12. As long as the substitution content reaches x = 1.3/1.4, almost no hygroscopicity and low thermal expansion from room temperature are obtained and are discussed in relation to the crystal structure and microstructure.

Intermolecular and surface forces contribute significantly to the total forces acting on air bearing sliders for flying heights below 5 nm. Their contributions to the total force increase sharply with the reduction in flying height, and hence their existence can no longer be ignored in air bearing simulation for hard disk drives. Various experimentally observed dynamic instabilities can be explained by the inclusion of these forces in the model for low flying sliders. In this paper parametric studies are presented using a 3-DOF model to better understand the effect of the Hamaker constants, suspension pre load and pitch angle on the dynamic stability/instability of the sliders. A stiffness matrix is used to characterize the stability in the vertical, pitch, and roll directions. The fly height diagrams are used to examine the multiple equilibriums that exist for low flying heights. It has been found that the system instability increases as the magnitude of the van der Waals force increases. It has also been found that higher suspension pre load and higher pitch angles tend to stabilize the system.

The procedures described in Chapter 15 are well suited to solid and liquid solutions and could also be applied to gases, but in fact, other approaches are generally used. The main reason for this is partly historical; much work was done early in the history of physical chemistry on the behavior of gases, and these methods have continued to evolve to the present day. We have also just seen that the Margules equations become very unwieldy with multi-component systems. Because true gases are completely miscible, natural gases often contain many different components, so the Margules approach is not very suitable. Unfortunately, the most successful alternative methods described in this section are also quite unwieldy; however, they do not become much more complicated for multi-component gases than they are for the pure gases themselves, and this is a definite advantage. We have seen that with real, non-ideal gases, all the thermodynamic properties are described if we know the T, P, and the fugacity coefficient. For gaseous solutions, the fugacity coefficient for each component generally depends on the concentrations and types of other gaseous species in the same mixture. All gases, whether pure or multi-component, should approach ideality at higher T and lower P; conversely, non-ideality is most pronounced in dense, low-temperature gases where intermolecular forces are strongest. The challenge here is to find an equation of state that can adequately cover this range of conditions for gases of many different constituents. In the following discussion we first briefly outline some of the equations of state used to describe pure gases. We will introduce these from the molecular point of view since this helps understand the physical basis (and limitations) of each model. Each of these equations of state can then be applied to mixtures of gases using a set of rules which we describe at the end of this section.

Porcelain-fused-to-metal restorations are fired several hundred degrees above the glass-transition temperature and cooled rapidly through the glass-transition temperature range. Thermal expansion data from room temperature to above the glass-transition temperature range are important for the thermal expansion of the porcelain to be matched to the alloy. The effect of heating rate during measurement of thermal expansion was determined for NBS SRM 710 glass and four commercial opaque and body porcelain products. Thermal expansion data were obtained at heating rates of from 3 to 30°C/min after the porcelain was cooled at the same rate. By use of the Moynihan equation (where Tg systematically increases in temperature with an increase in cooling/heating rate), the glass-transition temperatures (Tg) derived from these data were shown to be related to the heating rate.

ABSTRACTHoAlGa is hexagonal at room temperature. It undergoes two magnetic transitions succesively at TN = 32 K from a paramagnetic to a triangular antiferromagnetic state where the Ho moments lie in the basal plane and at Tt = 18 K in the course of which the moments rotate toward c giving rise to a colinear antiferromagnetic arrangement. X-ray experiments performed between 5 and 300 K allow to determine the crystal evolution through the two transitions. The hexagonal symmetry is not lowered through the transitions; this result is compatible with the observed magnetic groups. The thermal expansion curves show a very anisotropic behaviour of the lattice parameters. The “c” parameter shrinks below TN and this anomaly is to be related to the magnetic order. Along a, a positive thermal anomaly appears below 70 K and this can be interpreted by crystal field effects. Stability of magnetic structures is discussed with regard to exchange interactions and magnetocrystalline anisotropy.

ABSTRACTElectroreflectance (ER) measurements were made on GaAs/AxGal-x As coupled quantum wells at room temperature and at 77K. The close coupling of the narrow (28.3 A) barriers resulted in splitting of the hole and electron subband levels which was observed at both temperatures. As a first approximation, the confining potential was assumed to be due to the barrier alone; electric field effects of the modulating potential and trapped interfacial charge were considered to be negligible. The dominant heavy holeconduction and light hole-conduction transitions observed at 300K were at 1523meV and 1539 meV respectively, although other weaker transitions were also resolved.

AbstractThe magnetic crystal disrortion of weakly ferromagnetic α-Fe2O3 was investigated by x-ray diffraction techniques. Here crystal distortion is taken as the temperature dependent changes of lattice constants and thermal expansion coefficients. Moreover, the oxygen position parameter and the carbon-oxygen distance of MnCO3 were determined.The lattice constants and thermal expansion coefficients of α-Fe2O3 were measured from room temperature down to 243°K. The crystal distortion, as measured by the changes in lattice constants, thermal expansion coefficients and axial ratio, was found to be highly anisotropic. The co hexagonal lattice constant was influenced very slightly by magnetic distortion; it changed only by 0.01 percent between room temperature and the Morin temperature of 254°K. On the other hand, the ao lattice constant changes by 0.11 percent between room temperature and the Morin temperature. The thermal expansion coefficients of the lattice constants showed a similar contrast. The co coefficient was found to be independent of temperature from room temperature down to the Morin temperature. However, in the same temperature range, the ao coefficient showed an anomalous increase with decreasing temperature. In addition, the ao coefficient showed an infinite discontinuity at the Morin temperature.The change in the axial ratio with temperature suggests that the net weak ferromagnetic moment of α-Fe2O3 reaches a maximum at 275°K.The oxygen position parameter, x, in MnCO3 as determined from two reflections has a value of 0.2702 ± 0.001. The carbon-oxygen distance as calculated from the lattice constants and the oxygen position parameter is 1.29 ±0.002 Å. This value is another confirmation of the Pauling theory of the resonating carbonate structure.
