The superplasticity of an extruded fine-grained Mg–9Gd–4Y–0.4Zr alloy was investigated by measuring the strain rate sensitivity using shear punch testing (SPT). Shear punch tests were conducted at shear strain rates in the range of 3 × 10−3–2 × 10−1 s−1 and at temperatures in the range of 573–773 K. The results indica…

Three-component thermochromic mixtures generally consist of a leuco dye, a phenolic colour developer, and a high-melting organic solvent (listed in order of increasing mass). Their colouring behaviour is controlled by competing binary interactions, with the dye–developer interaction responsible for colour formation an…

Higher energetic density, better resistance to thermal stresses and smaller starting times as compared with conventional planar stacks, make the so-called microtubular SOFC (mT-SOFCs with diameters in the millimeter size region) devices suitable for portable applications in the sub kW energy range. However, fabricatio…

We numerically study structural transitions inside shallow sub-micrometre scale wells with square cross section, filled with nematic liquid crystal material. We model the wells within the Landau–de Gennes theory. We obtain two qualitatively different states: (i) the diagonal state with defects for relatively large wel…

A plasmon-like phenomenon, arising from coinciding resonant excitations of different electronic characteristics in 1D silver nanowires, has been proposed based on theoretical linear absorption spectra. Such a molecular plasmon holds the potential for anisotropic nanoplasmonic applications. However, its dynamical natur…
