Identification of Ni-vacancy defect in Ni-Mn-Z (Z = Ga, Sn, In): An experimental and DFT positron annihilation study
(APS, 2019-02-21)
[EN] By means of experimental positron-annihilation-lifetime measurements and theoretical density functional theory (DFT) positron-lifetime calculations, vacancy-type defects in Ni50Mn50−xSnx (x=25, 20,15,13,10) and ...
Experimental observation of vacancy assisted martensitic transformation shift in Ni-Fe-Ga alloys
(APS, 2019-04-23)
[EN] Positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy is used to experimentally demonstrate the direct relationship between vacancies and the shift of the martensitic transformation temperature in a Ni55Fe17Ga28 alloy. The ...
Measuring the thermal resistance of vertical interfaces separating two different media using infrared thermography
(Elsevier, 2019)
We propose a method to measure the thermal contact resistance at the vertical interface between two materials using lock-in infrared thermography with laser spot heating. We found an analytical expression for the surface ...
Comprehensive study of the magnetic phase transitions in Tb3Co combining thermal, magnetic and neutron diffraction measurements
(Elsevier, 2019-05-22)
A comprehensive study of the magnetic phase transitions in Tb3Co has been undertaken combining different techniques. Using single crystal neutron diffraction in the paramagnetic state a weak crystal structure distortion ...
Fast sizing of the width of infinite vertical cracks using constant velocity Flying-Spot thermography
(Elsevier, 2019-03-19)
Constant Velocity Flying-Spot thermography consists in scanning the sample surface by a focused CW-laser spot moving at constant speed. This technique was designed to study large surfaces in short times. In this work, we ...
Characterizing the shape and heat production of open vertical cracks in burst vibrothermography experiments
(Elsevier, 2019)
We present a quantitative characterization of the heat flux distribution generated at open vertical cracks in burstvibrothermography experiments. We use a stabilized inversion algorithm that is able to retrieve both ...
The Onset and Growth of the 2018 Martian Global Dust Storm
(AGU, 2019-05-21)
We analyze the onset and initial expansion of the 2018 Martian Global Dust Storm (GDS 2018) using ground-based images in the visual range. This is the first case of a confirmed GDS initiating in the Northern Hemisphere. A ...
The 2018 Martian Global Dust Storm over the South Polar Region studied with MEx/VMC
(AGU, 2019-08-13)
We study the 2018 Martian global dust storm (GDS 2018) over the Southern Polar Region using images obtained by the Visual Monitoring Camera (VMC) on board Mars Express (MEx) during June and July 2018. Dust penetrated into ...
An Energy Potential Estimation Methodology and Novel Prototype Design for Building-Integrated Wind Turbines
(MDPI, 2019-05-27)
ROSEO-BIWT is a new Building-Integrated Wind Turbine (BIWT) intended for installation on the edge of buildings. It consists of a Savonius wind turbine and guiding vanes to accelerate the usual horizontal wind, together ...
