A recent computational study (Chaumont, A; Wipff, G. Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. 2008, 10, 6940) showed that, in spite of their high charge and spherical shape, polyoxometalate α-PW 12 O 40 3− Keggin anions PW 3− can “attract each other” and form oligomers in water. This led us to speculate that these anions should also d…

Magnetostriction in nonoriented (NO) electrical steels is a harmful source of vibration and acoustic noise in electrical machines. It is far more anisotropic than specific power loss, which results in more complexity in prediction of the vibration and acoustic noise. An investigation of the anisotropy in magnetostrict…

Nanodiamond particles (ND, 4-6 nm in size) were added to a simulated body fluid (SBF) and electrodeposition (ED) at biological conditions (370C, pH 7.4) was performed on Ti surfaces. The novelty in this work was the addition of the ND particles to the SBF solution used as the electrolyte for the ED of biomimetic HA. T…

We investigate near-field imaging of a point dipole by a lossy, nanoscale metamaterial slab. Making use of the electromagnetic angular-spectrum representation, we derive the Green tensor for the field transmission through the metamaterial slab, duly considering multiple reflections, polarizations, and wave-vector sign…

For the design of miniature electrical machines of high power density, it is necessary to measure magnetic properties of electrical steel sheet at high magnetic flux density. The JIS standard single-sheet tester (SST) is insufficient to measure magnetic properties at high magnetic flux density around 2.0 T. In this pa…
