Development of white phosphors with highly emissive, stable, and less toxic characteristics has been important for display and lighting technology. In this letter, it is shown that sol-gel-derived glasses of aluminosilicate composition, followed by a heat treatment in air at low temperatures around 500 °C, exhibit two…

We investigated the resonance dependence of saturable absorption (SA) properties in near-infrared in single-wall carbon nanotube (SWNT) materials prepared by the laser ablation method. For SWNT thin films coated on glass plates with a distinct single absorption band centered at 1.78 µm, we measured SA properties using…

In this paper, a Newton trust region method is presented as an alternative to the Newton-Raphson method for solving nonlinear magnetic problems. Instead of underrelaxing the Newton step in a line search algorithm, the step is determined by minimizing a local quadratic model of the functional within a trust region. If…

Abstract The low-cycle and high-cycle fatigue behavior of the Mg-base wrought alloy AZ31 is investigated in the temperature range 20– 300 °C using total-strain-controlled push – pull tests. It is shown that the mechanical properties of the material are substantially influenced by the direction dependent formation of d…

Vinylester/epoxy (VE/EP) hybrid resins of interpenetrating network (IPN) structure were reinforced by needled flax fibre mat. The flax content of the composites was kept constant (20 wt%) whereas the VE/EP ratio varied (70/30, 50/50, and 30/70). The mechanical properties of the composites, produced by resin transfer m…

The transient optical absorption and luminescence of LiB 3 O 5 (LBO) nonlinear crystals in the visible and UV spectral ranges were studied. Measurements made using absorption optical spectroscopy with nsscale time resolution revealed that the transient optical absorption (TOA) in LBO originates from optical transition…

The (6R)-2,2,6-trimethyl-1,4-cyclohexanedione (levodione) reductase (LVR) of the soil isolate bacterium Corynebacterium aquaticum M-13 is a NAD(H)-linked enzyme that catalyzes reversible oxidoreduction between (4R)-hydroxy-(6R)-2,2,6-trimethylcyclohexanone (actinol) and levodione. Here the crystal structure of a terna…

The article "A brief history of the double-slit experiment" (September 2002 p15; correction October p17) describes how Claus Jönsson of the University of Tübingen performed the first double-slit interference experiment with electrons in 1961. It then goes on to say: "The next milestone – an experiment in which there w…

The non-linear nature of the superelastic phase transformation in NiTi means that conventional fatigue life theory is difficult to apply. The volume fraction of martensite/parent phase and its role in the fatigue mechanism is not understood. This paper considers the fatigue life of superelastic NiTi alloys when tested…

The existence of a stable periodic time-dependent solution of Landau-Ginzburg–type dynamics of a sheared system is first shown by the simulations. By means of density-functional simulations we have shown that a spherical micellar phase of block copolymers is not destroyed by shear below a certain level, but forms elon…
