A new method of introducing porosity into solid metals was investigated using mixtures of Cu and CuO. The process involves distributing oxides through the Cu matrix (e.g., mechanical milling, as used here) and then reducing those oxides during annealing. The most distinguishing characteristic of this process is that p…

The disordered packings of tetrahedra often show no obvious macroscopic orientational or positional order for a wide range of packing densities, and it has been found that the local order in particle clusters is the main order form of tetrahedron packings. Therefore, a cluster analysis is carried out to investigate th…

Reaction of early lanthanides, GeO2 , and Na2 WO4 in a NaOAc buffer results in large crown-shaped polyoxometalates based on [Ln2 GeW10 O38 ](6-) subunits. By using Ni(2+) as a crystallizing agent, [Na⊂Ln12 Ge6 W60 O228 (H2 O)24 ](35-) (Na⊂Ln12 ) hexamers formed by alternating β(1,5)/β(1,8) subunits were obtained for L…

Artificial neural networks (ANNs) are used in prediction fields. Yarn strength is one of the most important properties, because it reflects the quality of the yarn. The prediction process of yarn strength is very important from the technology side because many of generated forces in the spun yarns could be given by ya…

Parent compounds of Fe-based superconductors undergo a structural phase transition from a tetragonal to an orthorhombic structure. We investigated the temperature dependence of the frequencies of TA phonons that extrapolate to the shear vibrational mode at the zone center, which corresponds to the orthorhombic deforma…

The random Lorentz gas (RLG) is a minimal model for transport in heterogeneous media. Upon increasing the obstacle density, it exhibits a growing subdiffusive transport regime and then a dynamical arrest. Here, we study the dimensional dependence of the dynamical arrest, which can be mapped onto the void percolation t…
