In this paper, we present a novel design configuration of double DHFLC wave plate continuous tunable Lyot filter, which exhibits a rapid response time of 185 μs, while the high-contrast ratio between the passband and stop band is maintained throughout a wide tunable range. A DHFLC tunable filter with a high-contrast r…

Vacancies control any atomic ordering process and consequently most of the order-dependent properties of the martensitic transformation in ferromagnetic shape memory alloys. Positron annihilation spectroscopy demonstrates to be a powerful technique to study vacancies in NiMnGa alloys quenched from different temperatur…

(Ethylene‐propylene‐diene monomer)/(recycled ethylene‐propylene‐diene monomer) (EPDM/r‐EPDM) blends filled with constant mica loading were compounded at various blends ratios (i.e., 90/10, 80/20, 70/30, 60/40, and 50/50). Results indicated that scorch time decreased with increasing r‐EPDM content, whereas curing time,…

We demonstrate an electric-field-tunable magnetic-field-sensor based on CoFeB/MgO magnetic tunnel junction with interfacial perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA). From the dynamic lock-in measurements, we show that an applied electric-field induces a peak in sensor voltage (VSENSOR) around the free layer magnetizati…

Zinc oxide nanorods/p-Si heterostructures have been fabricated by depositing the chemically synthesized ZnO nanorods on p-type silicon substrate. Heterostructure shows electrical bi-stability and negative differential resistance (NDR) only at the beginning of the forward bias region, and these phenomena have been expl…

In this study, we demonstrate a co-fired magnetoelectric (ME) laminate consisting of piezoelectric/magnetostrictive/piezoelectric layers with unipoled piezoelectric transformer structure. The ME transformer was characterized by quantifying the voltage gain variation and resonance frequency shift as a function of appli…

Water striders capture the amazing feature to walk on water surface, and this phenomenon triggered extensive investigations in the past decades. We model the strider leg as a fiber vertically pressing into water surface and explore some striking mechanics behaviors in this process. First, the meniscus morphology is ex…

We have investigated the role of coadsorbed atomic oxygen during the decomposition of acetic acid on Pt(111) by means of temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) and synchrotron radiation photoelectron spectroscopy (SRPES). Reaction mechanisms have been established through identification of desorbing products and surfa…

Compressive creep studies have been carried out on hot‐pressed ZrB 2 – SiC (ZS) and ZrB 2 – SiC – Si 3 N 4 (ZSS) composites in air under stress and temperature ranges of 93–140 MPa and 1300°C–1425°C, respectively for time durations of ≈20–40 h. The results of these studies have shown the creep resistance of ZS composi…

Effects of disorder on the electronic transport properties of graphene are strongly affected by the Dirac nature of the charge carriers in graphene. This is particularly pronounced near the Dirac point, where relativistic charge carriers cannot efficiently screen the impurity potential. We have studied time-dependent…

In this article we revisit the much-studied behavior of self-assembled aggregates of gold colloidal particles. In the literature, the electrostatic interactions, van der Waals interactions, and the change in free energy due to ligand-ligand or ligand-solvent interactions are mainly considered to be the dominating fact…

Mg–Sn-based alloys are considered as a promising precipitation-hardening system for applications at elevated temperatures, but the hardening effect is not satisfactory owing to sluggish nucleation and rapid coarsening of the major Mg2Sn lath precipitates. In this study, Cu and Al are added to a Mg–6Sn–1Mn base alloy.…

The Dirac dispersion of graphene limits the phase space available for energy transport between electrons and acoustic phonons at temperatures above the Bloch-Gr\"uneisen temperature. Consequently, energy relaxation can be dominated by supercollision events [Phys. Rev. Lett. 109, 106602 (2012)] also involving other sca…

The exceptional strength of nanoscale metallic grains is due to strain-accommodation mechanisms that are uncommon in their coarse-grained counterparts, such as deformation twinning. Using an ab initio density functional theory-phase field dislocation dynamics model, we provide evidence of an unconventional kinetic pat…
