The thicknesses of C10-C18 alkylsiloxane monolayers on silicon-silicon dioxide substrates have been measured with ellipsometry and low-angle X-ray reflection. Although, for any given sample, thicknesses measured by the two ...

Synchrotron x-ray diffraction has been used to study the surface and the interior hexatic-to-liquid (smectic-I to smectic-C) melting transitions of freely suspended liquid-crystal films of N-[4'-(n-heptyl)benzylidene]-4- ...

This article demonstrates that state collective bargaining laws are important determinants of union and nonunion public employee compensation. State laws that provide stronger bargaining rights and ensure closure to the ...
