Inverter supply is known to create additional power losses in an induction machine over those occurring with grid supply. The extent and nature of that increase are examined here for a switching frequency representative of current practice. Data are obtained from a time-stepped finite element analysis (FEA) model of t…

Electrostatic levitation together with multibeam heating and ultraviolet imaging overcame contamination, imaging, and sample position stability problems associated with handling of liquid tantalum and rhenium. Here, the density [ρ(T)] of these metals is reported in the superheated and undercooled states. Over the 2760…

Samples of Co0.1Ti0.9O2−δ (anatase) prepared by the sol–gel technique are found to be paramagnetic at room temperature, with the magnetic susceptibility following Curie–Weiss law in the investigated range of 2–370 K. However, transformation from paramagnetism to room-temperature ferromagnetism (RTFM) is observed by hy…

Effects of praseodymium modification on the crystal structure and polarization properties were investigated for layered ferroelectric SrBi2Ta2O9 (SBT). Neutron powder diffraction and x-ray photoelectron analyses showed that praseodymium ions are substituted at the Sr site as Pr3+ and that Sr vacancies are created for…

The microstructure and electrical properties of ultrathin BaTiO3 films (2–7 nm thick) have been studied. Multidomain structures having 180° domains and 90° domain boundaries were observed by high resolution transmission electron microscopy. The domains, which have a width as small as one unit cell, are mostly oriented…

A simple quantitative method for in situ control of the focused-electron-beam-induced deposition process is discussed and demonstrated with precursors used for Au, Cu, Rh, and SiO2 deposition. A picoamperemeter monitors the electron current flowing through the sample, which reproducibly drops at a characteristic rate…

Abstract The influence of electron beam irradiation on the properties of fluorine‐containing poly(aryl ether ketone)s (F‐PEK), derived from 2,3,4,5,6‐pentafluorobenzoic acid, was examined. Irradiation was performed with an electron beam at a dose of 3.63 × 10 3 Gy s −1 for which the corresponding doses were 29.0, 51.0…

Depending on the choice of thin film models and measurement data used for the characterization analysis one can obtain essentially different characterization results. It is especially difficult to reliably determine refractive index wavelength dependencies in the case of low accuracy measurement data. We consider poss…

The straightforward way to determine the half-life of a radioactive substance is to measure its activity in each of a series of time intervals, plot the data as a function of the accumulated time on semilog paper, and then measure the slope of the graph. A computer simulation of this procedure follows based on materia…

Abstract Crosslinked polyethylene foam is widely used in packaging and as an insulation material. Finely ground waste of such crosslinked foam mesh size 7 or particle size less than 2815 μm is used as a filler in high‐density polyethylene (HDPE) of two different grades (7.5 and 21 MFI). Mechanical, thermal, and morpho…

A density functional plane-wave pseudopotential method is used to study the formation energy of a number of acceptor- and donor-type defects in SrTiO 3 as a function of oxidizing atmosphere and doping levels in the bulk crystal. Of the three donor defects (V O , Nb Ti and Al Sr ) and two acceptor defects (Na Sr and Al…

Recent experimental results from dynamic light scattering on two-component colloidal mixtures close to the glass transition are compared to theory. In the framework of the mode-coupling theory of the glass transition, close agreement is found in general. Discrepancies are identified for the minority-particle correlati…
