Ni83.25Zr16.75 peritectic alloy was containerlessly solidified in a drop tube. When the droplet diameter exceeds a critical value (Dcrit), Ni7Zr2 phase primarily solidifies, followed by the peritectic reaction of Ni7Zr2 + L → Ni5Zr. Once the droplet diameter is smaller than the critical value (Dcrit), peritectic phase…

Multiferroic superlattices consisting of 15 double layers BaTiO3–BiFeO3 show a very high magnetoelectric voltage coefficient αME of up to 49 V cm−1 Oe−1 at 300 K, measured at 1 kHz with zero direct current (DC) bias magnetic field. However, the microscopic origins of such high αME values, and the temperature and DC ma…

Biocompatibilizer-based refined, bleached, deodorized palm stearin was successfully used as compatibilizer for natural rubber/recycled ethylene–propylene–diene rubber (NR/R-EPDM) blends. It seems effective in improving the state of cure, tensile properties, as well as the swelling resistance and morphology of the blen…

Tunable ferroelectric capacitors, which exhibit a decrease of the dielectric permittivity (ϵ) under electric field, are widely used in electronics for RF tunable applications (e.g., antenna impedance matching). Current devices use barium strontium titanate as the tunable dielectric, and the need for performance enhanc…

Abstract Fluid inclusions of the H2O‐NaCl‐CaCl2 system are notorious for their metastable behavior during cooling and heating processes, which can render microthermometric measurement impossible or difficult and interpretation of the results ambiguous. This study addresses these problems through detailed microscopic e…

The feature that devices based on blue phase liquid crystals (BPLCs) is free of alignment layers. However, the alignment layers could affect the morphologies of BPLC-devices as well as the electro-optical properties. In this paper, we investigate the influence of alignment layers to crystal growth of polymer-stabilize…
