Strain Relaxation in Cu-Al-Ni Shape Memory Alloys Studied by in Situ Neutron Diffraction Experiments
(American Institute of Physics, 2019-02-28)
In situ neutron diffraction is used to study the strain relaxation on a single crystal and other powdered Cu-Al-Ni shape memory alloys (SMAs) around martensitic transformation temperatures. This work is focused on the ...
Ultrahigh Superelastic Damping at the Nano-Scale: a Robust Phenomenon to Improve Smart MEMS Devices
(Elsevier, 2019-03)
Micro and nano pillars of Copper-based shape memory alloys (SMAs) with feature sizes between about 2 mu m and 250 nm are known to exhibit ultra-high mechanical damping due to the nucleation and motion of stress-induced ...
Studying the influence of substitutional elements on mechanical behavior of Alloy 718
(EDP Sciences, 2014)
In nickel-based superalloys, substitutional solute species have a strong impact on in service mechanical properties as well as on oxidation and corrosion resistances. In alloy 718, recent studies carried out by tensile ...
Acoustic plasmons in extrinsic free-standing graphene
(IOP Publishing, 2014-08-04)
An acoustic plasmon is predicted to occur, in addition to the conventional two-dimensional (2D) plasmon, as the collective motion of a system of two types of electronic carriers coexisting in the same 2D band of extrinsic ...
Unconventional spin texture of a topologically nontrivial semimetal Sb(110)
(IOP Publishing LTD, 2012-10-17)
The surfaces of antimony are characterized by the presence of spin-split states within the projected bulk band gap and the Fermi contour is thus expected to exhibit a spin texture. Using spin-resolved density functional ...
Upgrading the Performance of Cholesteric Liquid Crystal Lasers: Improvement Margins and Limitations
(MDPI, 2017)
The topic of cholesteric-liquid-crystal lasers is a rapidly expanding research area in the field of soft-matter photonics. The increasing interest in this field is due to the high versatility that these lasers may possibly ...
Reversible and Non-Reversible Transformation of Magnetic Structure in Amorphous Microwires
(MDPI, 2020-07-24)
We provide an overview of the tools directed to reversible and irreversible transformations of the magnetic structure of glass-covered microwires. The irreversible tools are the selection of the chemical composition, ...
Atomistic Simulations of Geopolymer Models: The Impact of Disorder on Structure and Mechanics
(ACS, 2018-06-13)
Geopolymers are hydrated aluminosilicates with excellent binding properties. Geopolymers appeal to the construction sector as a more sustainable alternative to traditional cements, but their exploitation is limited by a ...
On a Common Mistake in the Description of the Photoelectric Effect
(AIP, 2019-11-01)
The photoelectric effect is one of the key experiments taught during first- or second-year university and high school modern physics courses. It is usually the first experiment to introduce light quantization and the concept ...
Importance of the spectral emissivity measurements at working temperature to determine the efficiency of a solar selective coating
(Elsevier, 2015-09-01)
The total emissivity of the absorbing surfaces is a critical parameter in the calculation of the radiative thermal losses in solar thermal collectors. This is because the radiative heat losses have a significant economic ...
