Rupture of an individual film in an evolving liquid metal foam is investigated by means of high-speed x-ray radioscopy using white synchrotron radiation. At a frame rate of 5000frames∕s, the rupture event is spread over three to four images. The images show that the remnants of the rupturing film are pulled into the s…

DOI: 10.1002/macp. 200700552 For our experimental situation, when , Equation (6) supplies a higher estimation for the thermal Marangoni number: ∼ 4 ÷ 10 (for MaT ∼ 2), but it is still much less than the critical value of the Marangoni number. We would like to apologize for any inconvenience this mistake may have cause…

The domain structure of orthorhombic phase in [110]-poled Pb(Mg1∕3Nb2∕3)O3–30.5%PbTiO3 has been studied with analytical transmission electron microscopy. Convergent beam electron diffraction analysis indicates that the orthorhombic phase is an adaptive phase composed of tetragonal nanodomains while in the macroscopic…

Abstract Some seashells of the Philippine venus species and sea coral of Porites sp. were studied by means of FT‐Raman, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Far‐FTIR spectroscopic methods. The Raman spectra show that both Porites sp. and P. venus are of aragonite‐structured CaCO 3 . Detailed spectral ana…

We report experimental observations of relative blue-shifts in the particle?plasmon resonance of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) covered with a vanadium dioxide (VO2) film as the VO2 material undergoes a semiconductor-to-metal transition at approximately 67??C. Although the extinction spectra of the Au NPs exhibit signifi…

Corona cages are used in overhead power line studies to investigate physical mechanisms involved in corona discharge and to predict radio noise generation. In this paper, we design a small laboratory corona cage to investigate wideband radio noise generation on practical HVac conductor bundles. We introduce and descri…

We proposed an oxygen modulation method for the growth of high crystalline and insulative anatase films. The cycle of deposition under low oxygen pressure and annealing under high oxygen pressure was repeated every 1nm thick growth. The sharp reflection high-energy electron diffraction pattern and step-and-terrace sur…

The effects of the grain-boundary-induced lattice disorder on the resistivity, the magnetization, and the specific heat of a prototypical manganite Sm0.55Sr0.45MnO3 near half doping were investigated at temperatures near the metal-insulator transition. An increasing lattice disorder softens the magnetic phase transiti…
