Creep of Lanthanum Gallate

March 1, 2002
Author(s)
William E. Luecke, T R. Armstrong
Strontium- and magnesium-doped lanthanum gallate (LSGM) was deliberately prepared to give A-site deficient non-stoichiometry with compositions (La 0.9Sr 0.1)z(Ga 0.8Mg 0.2)O 3-delta (z =1.0,0.98, and 0.95). Creep tests in four-point 950 C 75 Mpa in air

Parallel Calculation of Electron Multiple Scattering Using Lanczos Algorithms

March 1, 2002
Author(s)
Charles E. Bouldin, A L. Ankudinov, J J. Rehr, James S. Sims, Howard Hung
Real space multiple scattering calculations of the elctronic density of states and x-ray spectra in solids typically scale as the cube of the system and basis set size, and hence are highly demanding computationally. For example, calculations near the Si K

Total-Energy-Based Structure Prediction for Decagonal Al-Ni-Co

February 11, 2002
Author(s)
M Mihalkovic, I Al-Lehyani, Eric J. Cockayne, C L. Henley, N Moghadam, J A. Moriarty, Yijun Wang, M Widom
Quasicrystals are metal alloys whose noncrystallographic symmetry and lack of structural periodicity challenge methods of both experimental structure determination and theoretical structural prediction. Here we employ total energy calculations and Monte

Data Analysis Methods for Synthetic Polymer Mass Spectrometry: Autocorrelation

February 1, 2002
Author(s)
William E. Wallace, Charles M. Guttman
Autocorrelation is shown to be useful in describing the periodic patterns found in high-resolution mass spectra of synthetic polymers. Examples of this usefulness are described for a simple linear homopolymer to demonstrate the method fundamentals, a

Molecular Basis of Lubrication

February 1, 2002
Author(s)
Stephen M. Hsu
Lubrication is an art that has been practiced for thousands of years from the early days of our human civilization. The study of lubricatin as a science began in the 17th century with the development of bearings and axles. In the early 20th century, the

NIST Property Data Summaries Titanium Diboride (TiB 2 )

February 1, 2002
Author(s)
R G. Munro
Nearly fully dense polycrystalline TiB 2 can be produced by a variety of processing methods, including sintering, hot pressing, hot isostatic pressing, microwave sintering, and dynamic compaction. The relatively strong covalent bonding of the constituents

Towards Near Perfect Crystals With Only Well-Characterized Imperfections

February 1, 2002
Author(s)
H S. Peiser
Throughout the past century NBS/NIST supported a great variety of research studies in crystallography where the aim was the highest attainable accuracy in measurement. While avoiding overlap with other papers in this volume, this article summarizes results

Crack Growth in Sapphire

January 1, 2002
Author(s)
Sheldon M. Wiederhorn, Ralph Krause
Crack growth was studied in sapphire on both the m-plane and the r-plane (rhombohedral twin plane). Crack growth on the m-plane fit a power law function of stress intensity factor and an Arrhenius function of temperature. Crack growth on r-plane double

Formation of SEI on Cycled Lithium-Ion Battery Cathodes: Soft X-ray Absorption Study

January 1, 2002
Author(s)
Mahalingam Balasubramanian, H S. Lee, X Sun, Xiao-Qing Yang, A R. Moodenbaugh, James McBreen, Daniel A. Fischer, Ziwen Fu
The formation of a solid electrolyte interface (SEI) on LiNi 0.85Co 0.15O 2 cathodes from lithium-ion cells cycled at 40EC and 70EC was observed and characterized using soft x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS). XAS measurements were made in the energy
