Powder XRD investigations on dotriacontane-decane and dotriacontane-decanol mixtures are made. Phase strength, phase separation and formation of superlattices are discussed. The role of tunnel-like defects is considered.
Behaviour of 10–100 μm sized Ag and Ti metal particles was studied by employing laser light scattering microscopy while increasing the temperature at different rates. Differential area ω was defined as 2( Amax− Amin)/( Amax+ Amin), and its significance as strain variation response is established. The ω versus d T/d t curves of Ag and Ti were exponential in nature, with positive and negative slopes respectively. The role of smallness of the metal particles vis-à-vis defects was considered. Systematic variation of surface activity Sa with rate of heating is noticed. A plausible reasoning is offered to explain the experimental results qualitatively.
Studies on thin dotriacontane hydrocarbon in the form of thin films were made by employing Oblique Incidence Reflection Microscopy (OIRM). Information related to substructure and striations were discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
