W. Otowski2007-06-01Phase Transitions
A phase transition is the transformation of a thermodynamic system from one phase to another. The distinguishing characteristic of a phase transition is an abrupt sudden change in one or more physical properties. Typically the phase transition is driven by a change in the temperature of the system. However, change of…

A major limitation in fabricating a monolithic Bi2Te3-based thermoelectric thin film device is patterning poorly adhesive Bi2Te3and Bi0.5Sb1.5Te3thin films. In this paper, we present a simple wet etching process that can prevent the delamination of thermoelectric thin films. This process is compatible with standard IC…

Ultrafine substituted M-type barium ferrite BaTiCoFe10O19 powders were synthesised successfully by the sol-gel method. The hydroxide precursor particles were formed in a gel solution containing ethanol and water at a ratio of 1 : 1 and using NaOH as a co-precipitation agent. The effects of preheat treatments on format…

We have investigated the history-dependent adsorption behavior of the diblock copolymer P2VP−PEO. The solution self-assembly of this polymer is pH-tunable such that micelles with a P2VP core and a PEO corona are formed above the polymer's p K a of 5.9. In-situ attenuated total reflection and atomic force microscopy we…

As well known, an inrush current of transformer reaches about several times larger than the rated current. When such a large inrush current flows into a superconducting transformer, it will induce a quench of superconducting windings. In this paper, we fabricated a small experimental superconducting transformer, and i…
