Plasmonic metals can excite charge carriers in semiconductors through plasmon-induced resonance energy transfer (PIRET) and hot electron injection processes. Transient absorption spectroscopy reveals that the presence of separation mechanisms metal@TiO2 core–shell nanoparticles be controlled by tailoring spectral overlap physical contact between metal semiconductor. In Ag@SiO2@TiO2 sandwich nanoparticles, localized surface plasmon band is overlapped with edge TiO2, enabling PIRET, while SiO2...
Defect engineering in metal-organic framework compounds has allowed for improvements catalysis-based functionalities, gas sensing, and storage. Metal-organic UiO-66 with Zr- Hf-based metal secondary building units were studied Raman infrared vibrational spectroscopy. Missing linker missing cluster defects engineered into the crystal structure
Doping a continuum of states is shown to preserve excited carrier lifetimes and mobility, increasing photocatalysis across the UV-visible spectrum.
Metal-organic frameworks have been utilized as heterogeneous catalysts for the degradation of chemical warfare agents, typically organophosphorous nerve agents. Vibrational spectroscopy techniques coupled with nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) were to study adsorption and dimethyl phosphite (DMP), a simulant molecule organophosphorus agent Soman (GD), by Zr- Hf-UiO-66 function particle size, defect type, density. Defective synthesized via modulated synthesis protocol engineer missing linker...
Part 5 in Section VIII Division 2 of the ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code provides methods for evaluating stresses pressure vessel components using Finite Element Analysis (FEA). Both linear elastic and inelastic are provided. Validating FEA simulations can be challenging because testing procedures as well variation between test parts. Control valve bodies, which have a complex geometry, were tested to pressures far beyond maximum allowable working evaluate behavior at structural...
