Investigating the Size and Microstrain Influence in the Magnetic Order/Disorder State of GdCu2 Nanoparticles
(MDPI, 2020-06-05)
A series of GdCu [Math Processing Error] nanoparticles with controlled sizes ranging from 7 nm to 40 nm has been produced via high-energy inert-gas ball milling. Rietveld refinements on the X-ray diffraction measurements ...
Influence of Upconversion Processes in the Optically-Induced Inhomogeneous Thermal Behavior of Erbium-Doped Lanthanum Oxysulfide Powders
(MDPI, 2016-05-11)
The efficient infrared-to-visible upconversion emission present in Er-doped lanthanum oxysulfide crystal powders is used as a fine thermal sensor to determine the influence of upconversion processes on the laser-induced ...
Scalable IoT Architecture for Monitoring IEQ Conditions in Public and Private Buildings
(MDPI, 2022-03-21)
This paper presents a scalable IoT architecture based on the edge–fog–cloud paradigm for monitoring the Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) parameters in public buildings. Nowadays, IEQ monitoring systems are becoming ...
Calibration of the X-ray Diffraction Technique in Measuring In-service Stresses in Corrugated Steel Bars
(Springer, 2021-10-25)
[EN]The X-ray diffraction technique for determining residual stresses in construction steels has been commonly used in the international scientific community for decades. Taking advantage of the concepts on which the ...
Metallic Glass/PVDF Magnetoelectric Laminates for Resonant Sensors and Actuators: A Review
(MDPI, 2017-05-31)
Among magnetoelectric (ME) heterostructures, ME laminates of the type Metglas-like/PVDF (magnetostrictive+piezoelectric constituents) have shown the highest induced ME voltages, usually detected at the magnetoelastic ...
Sensor Applications of Soft Magnetic Materials Based on Magneto-Impedance, Magneto-Elastic Resonance and Magneto-Electricity
(MDPI, 2014-04-25)
The outstanding properties of selected soft magnetic materials make them successful candidates for building high performance sensors. In this paper we present our recent work regarding different sensing technologies based ...
Switchable chiral transport in charge-ordered kagome metal CsV3Sb5
(Nature, 2022-10)
When electric conductors differ from their mirror image, unusual chiral transport
coefficients appear that are forbidden in achiral metals, such as a non-linear electric
response known as electronic magnetochiral anisotropy ...
Multi-model Meteorological and Aeolian Predictions for Mars 2020 and the Jezero Crater Region
(2021)
Nine simulations are used to predict the meteorology and aeolian activity of the Mars 2020 landing site region. Predicted seasonal variations of pressure and surface and atmospheric temperature generally agree. Minimum and ...
Radiation and Dust Sensor for Mars Environmental Dynamic Analyzer Onboard M2020 Rover
(MDPI, 2022-04-10)
The Radiation and Dust Sensor is one of six sensors of the Mars Environmental Dynamics Analyzer onboard the Perseverance rover from the Mars 2020 NASA mission. Its primary goal is to characterize the airbone dust in the ...
Impact of ionic quantum fluctuations on the thermodynamic stability and superconductivity of LaBH8
(APS, 2022-10-19)
The recent prediction of a metastable high-symmetry Fm-3m phase of LaBH8 gives hopes to reach high superconducting critical temperatures at affordable pressures among ternary hydrogen-rich compounds. Making use of ...
