The active magnetic regenerator (AMR) uses a magnetic solid as a thermal storage medium and as a working material in a refrigeration cycle. Thermodynamically coupled to a heat transfer fluid, the regenerator produces a cooling effect and generates a temperature gradient across the AMR. The coupling between the heat tr…

The crystal chemistry of 20 specimens of astrophyllite-group minerals from seven localities has been studied using a combination of single-crystal X-ray analysis of the structure and electron-microprobe analyses. Members of the astrophyllite group are triclinic ( P 1) and monoclinic ( C2/c or A 2) heterophyllosilicate…

A study on the modeling and simulation of interlayer interaction in the multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) system is presented. We use an interlayer Morse potential previously developed from a local density approximation (LDA) treatment of a bilayer of graphite. We have fit this Morse potential to experimental high-p…
