Reactivity of Bioinspired Magnesium-Organic Networks under CO2 and O-2 Exposure
(American Chemical Society, 2019-06-30)
Photosynthesis is the model system for energy conversion. It uses CO2 as a starting reactant to convert solar energy into chemical energy, i.e., organic molecules or biomass. The first and rate-determining step of this ...
Size Dependence of the Magnetoelastic Properties of Metallic Glasses for Actuation Applications
(MDPI, 2019-10-04)
We present an exhaustive study of the magnetoelastic properties of 24 strips with different rectangular dimensions, cut from a long ribbon of Metglas((R)) 2826MB3. The strips have a length-to-width ratio R = L/w ranging ...
Surface state tunable energy and mass renormalization from homothetic quantum dot arrays
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2019-12-28)
Quantum dot arrays in the form of molecular nanoporous networks are renowned for modifying the electronic surface properties through quantum confinement. Here we show that, compared to the pristine surface state, the band ...
Long-term Variations of Venus's 365 nm Albedo Observed by Venus Express, Akatsuki, MESSENGER, and the Hubble Space Telescope
(IOP, 2019-08-26)
An unknown absorber near the cloud-top level of Venus generates a broad absorption feature from the ultraviolet (UV) to visible, peaking around 360 nm, and therefore plays a critical role in the solar energy absorption. ...
Development of Magnetic Microwires for Magnetic Sensor Applications
(MDPI, 2019-11-02)
Thin magnetic wires can present excellent soft magnetic properties (with coercivities up to 4 A/m), Giant Magneto-impedance effect, GMI, or rectangular hysteresis loops combined with quite fast domain wall, DW, propagation. ...
Engineering of Magnetic Softness and Domain Wall Dynamics of Fe-rich Amorphous Microwires by Stress- induced Magnetic Anisotropy
(Nature Publishing, 2019-08-27)
We observed a remarkable improvement of domain wall (DW) mobility, DW velocity, giant magnetoimpedance (GMI) effect and magnetic softening at appropriate stress-annealing conditions. Beneficial effect of stress-annealing ...
Impact of Stress Annealing on the Magnetization Process of Amorphous and Nanocrystalline Co-Based Microwires
(MDPI, 2019-08)
The domain wall (DW) dynamics of amorphous and nanocrystalline Co-based glass-coated microwires are explored under the influence of stress annealing. Different annealing profiles have enabled remarkable changes in coercivity ...
Transparent Sol-Gel Oxyfluoride Glass-Ceramics with High Crystalline Fraction and Study of RE Incorporation
(MDPI, 2019-04-03)
Transparent oxyfluoride glass-ceramic films and self-supported layers with composition 80SiO₂-20LaF₃ doped with Er3+ have been successfully synthesized by sol-gel process for the first time. Crack-free films and self-supported ...
Peculiar magnetocaloric properties and critical behavior in antiferromagnetic Tb3Ni with complex magnetic structure
(Elsevier, 2019-08-12)
A study on the magnetocaloric properties of a Tb3Ni single crystal (which crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group) has been undertaken and combined with the study of the character and critical behavior of its ...
Study of the magnetocaloric effect in intermetallics RTX (R = Nd, Gd; T = Sc, Ti ; X = Si, Ge)
(Elsevier, 2019-05-02)
A detailed study of the magnetocaloric properties of six compounds of the intermetallic family RTX (R = Nd, Gd; T = Sc, Ti ; X = Si, Ge) has been undertaken: NdScSi, NdScGe, GdScSi, GdScGe, GdSc(Si0.5Ge0.5) and Gd(Sc0.5Ti0.5)Ge. ...
