In this study, we report the application of a synchrotron radiation microprobe to the analysis of Mn valencies in GaN. X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) images taken around MnK-edge in fluorescence detection mode reveal the concentration of oxidation states of Mn centers. By fitting the XANES curve for each…

A Mn5Bi95 alloy was rapidly solidified into a mixture of nanocrystalline Bi and metastable Bi(Mn). Heating the ribbons to temperature T=525K in a dc magnetic field causes formation and c-axis alignment of low-temperature phase (LTP) MnBi nanorods along the applied field direction. Nanorod alignment increases with incr…

Abstract Viscoelastic simulations of bubble growth in polypropylene (PP) physical foaming were performed. A multimode Phan‐Thien Tanner (PTT) model was used to analyze the dynamic growth behavior of spherically symmetric bubbles with the diffusion of a foaming agent (CO 2 ). Changes in the dissolved foaming agent conc…
