Underwater acoustic transducers often include a stack of thickness polarized piezoelectric material pieces of alternating polarity interspersed with electrodes, bonded together and electrically connected in parallel. The stack is normally much shorter than a quarter wavelength at the fundamental resonance frequency, s…
The Schroedinger equation for a spinless charged particle on a curved surface under an electromagnetic field has been obtained by adopting a proper gauge which allows the separation of the on-surface and transverse dynamics. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 100 (2008) 230403] As its extension, I provide the Pauli equation for a char…
Relativistic electronic properties of a nanospring under a static magnetic field are theoretically investigated in the present study. The wave equation accounting for the spin-orbit interaction is derived for the nanospring as a special case of the Pauli equation for a spin-1/2 particle confined to a curved surface un…
Using the density-functional perturbation theory with structural optimization, we investigate the electronic structure, phonon spectra, and superconductivity of the BiS 2 -based layered compounds LaO 1− x F x BiS 2 . For LaO 0.5 F 0.5 BiS 2 , the calculated electron-phonon coupling constant is equal to λ = 0.8, and th…
Using first-principles methods based on density-functional theory we investigate the spin relaxation in W(001) ultrathin films. Within the framework of the Elliott-Yafet theory we calculate the spin mixing of the Bloch states and we explicitly consider spin-flip scattering off self-adatoms. We find an oscillatory beha…
We report on a fully vacuum-sealed compact x-ray tube based on focused carbon nanotube (CNT) field-emission electrons for various radiography applications. The specially designed two-step brazing process enabled us to accomplish a good vacuum level for the stable and reliable operation of the x-ray tube without any ac…
Sub-micron and nanostructured materials exhibit high strength, ultra-large elasticity and unusual plastic deformation behaviors. These properties are important for their applications as building blocks for the fabrication of nano- and micro-devices as well as for their use as components for composite materials, high-s…
The present work reports dynamical observations of the grain boundary (GB)-mediated plasticity during in situ transmission electron microscopy straining experiments at moderate temperature (400C) both in a 76.4 bicrystalline and a polycrystalline Al sample. We show that the GB migration occurs by the lateral motion of…
In order to improve dielectric performance of natural esters, TiO2semiconductive nanoparticles were added to obtain an ester-based nanofluid. AC, lightning impulse voltage and partial discharge tests were applied to the natural ester and the ester-based nanofluid to check their dielectric performances. It was found th…
Implantation using stainless steels (SS) is an example where an understanding of protein-induced metal release from SS is important when assessing potential toxicological risks. Here, the protein-induced metal release was investigated for austenitic (AISI 304, 310, and 316L), ferritic (AISI 430), and duplex (AISI 2205…
Abstract Electrically conducting rubbery composites based on thermoplastic polyurethane ( TPU ) and carbon nanotubes ( CNTs ) were prepared through melt blending using a torque rheometer equipped with a mixing chamber. The electrical conductivity, morphology, rheological properties and electromagnetic interference shi…
Although scaling phenomena have long been documented in crystalline plasticity, the universality class has been difficult to identify due to the rarity of avalanche events, which require large system sizes and long times in order to accurately measure scaling exponents and functions. Here we present comprehensive simu…
Three-dimensional topological insulators are characterized by insulating bulk state and metallic surface state involving Dirac fermions that behave as massless relativistic particles. These Dirac fermions are responsible for achieving a number of novel and exotic quantum phenomena in the topological insulators and for…
Ultrafast broadband transient reflectivity experiments are performed to study the interplay between the non-equilibrium dynamics of the pseudogap and the superconducting phases in Bi$_{2}$Sr$_{2}$Ca$_{0.92}$Y$_{0.08}$Cu$_{2}$O$_{8+δ}$. Once superconductivity is established the relaxation of the pseudogap proceeds $\si…
The electronic structure of carbon shells of carbon encapsulated iron nanoparticles carbon encapsulated Fe@C has been studied by X-ray resonant emission and X-ray absorption spectroscopy. The recorded spectra have been compared to the density functional calculations of the electronic structure of graphene. It has been…
In this paper we study, both with theoretical and experimental approach, the effect of iron doping in zirconia. Combining density functional theory (DFT) simulations with the experimental characterization of thin films, we show that iron is in the Fe3+ oxidation state and accordingly that the films are rich in oxygen…
Invisible cloak has long captivated the popular conjecture and attracted intensive research in various communities of wave dynamics, e.g., optics, electromagnetics, acoustics, etc. However, their inhomogeneous and extreme parameters imposed by transformation-optic method will usually require challenging realization wi…
We demonstrate how the optical gradient force between two waveguides can be enhanced using transformation optics. A thin layer of double-negative or single-negative metamaterial can shrink the interwaveguide distance perceived by light, resulting in a more than tenfold enhancement of the optical force. This process is…
Melting and freezing transitions in two dimensional systems are known to show highly unusual characteristics. Most of the earlier studies considered atomic systems; the melting behavior in two dimensional molecular solids is still largely unexplored. In order to understand the role of multiple energy and length scales…
This paper focuses on the influence of repetitive square wave voltage rise time on partial discharge pulse characteristics in the ultra-high frequency range. Paerial Discharge (PD) tests on single-point contact crossed pairs were carried out using repetitive square wave voltages with a wide range of rise times, from 2…
