In this paper, the modeling of force sensors built with rare-earth iron giant magnetostrictive materials is studied. For such a purpose, a magneto-mechanical strongly coupled FE model is proposed. Using the proposed model, the input-output characteristic of a force sensor built with giant magnetostrictive material (Tb…

Ca 0.997 Pr 0.002 TiO 3 thin films that show strong red luminescence were successfully prepared by an excimer laser assisted metal organic deposition (ELAMOD) process at temperatures from 25 to 400 °C. Laser irradiation induced an oxygen deficiency in the film. Oxygen annealing at 500 °C eliminated the oxygen vacancy…

A nano‐Si 3 N 4 /5 wt% nano‐C composite was successfully fabricated for the first time via high‐energy ball milling, followed by spark plasma sintering. The milling promoted the amorphization of the starting powders; most of the carbon particles were transformed into nano‐size and embedded in the amorphous phase. This…

Mn‐doped zinc orthosilicate (Zn 2 SiO 4 )‐bearing phosphor microparticles were synthesized with controlled three‐dimensional (3‐D) morphologies inherited from the microshells (frustules) of diatoms (unicellular algae). Silica‐based diatom frustules were first coated with manganese and zinc oxide nanoparticles by expos…

We consider a liquid meniscus inside a wedge of included angle 2β that wets the solid walls with a contact angle θ. The meniscus has a convex interface that satisfies π∕2<θ+β<π. The capillary pressure gradient due to a small disturbance of the location of the contact line moves fluid from a neck region t…

The crystallization behavior of uncompatibilized and reactive compatibilized poly(trimethylene terephthalate)/polypropylene (PTT/PP) blends was investigated. In both blends, PTT and PP crystallization rates were accelerated by the presence of each other, especially at low concentrations. When PP content in the uncompa…

In this work, the reaction of the perovskite LaMnO3.15 with Feº has been promoted by thermal treatment of the mixture Feº/LaMnO3.15 at 200, 400 and 600 ºC. Mössbauer spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), temperature programmed reduction (TPR) and temperature programmed desorption (O2-TPD) analyses suggested that at 4…

We succeeded in the growth of a hillock-free heavily boron-doped diamond (001) film with a boron concentration of 6×10 20 atoms/cm 3 , being an ideal bottom layer for diamond electronic devices. The growth of hillocks was suppressed using diamond (001) substrates with misorientation angles of around 2°. The suppressio…
