Pulsed field magnetization is the most practical method of magnetizing a (RE)BCO bulk, however large heat generation limits the trapped field to significantly less than possible using field cooling. Modelling has been used to show that effective heat removal from the bulk interior, using embedded metallic structures,…

We present an ab initio approach for evaluating a free energy profile along a reaction coordinate by combining logarithmic mean force dynamics (LogMFD) and first-principles molecular dynamics. The mean force, which is the derivative of the free energy with respect to the reaction coordinate, is estimated using density…

The purpose of this study was to develop a rapid and green method for the synthesis of biomass-based materials. A microwave-assisted method was used for the preparation of CaCO 3 particles-filled wood powder nanocomposites, which involve natural cellulosic materials, CaCO 3 , and microwave heating. Dewaxed wood powder…

We have investigated peptide nucleic acid (PNA)-mediated aggregation of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) sheets. Addition of PNA into suspension of rGOs resulted in aggregation of rGOs, which could be easily detected with the naked eye. To elucidate the mechanism of rGO aggregation, we monitored the reaction by transmissi…

Based on careful consideration to crystal growth mechanism, three different sizes of Gd-Ba-Cu-O cylindrical bulk superconductors have been fabricated. The trapped magnetic field proportionally increased with the sample size and the peak heights at 77 K were 0.91-0.95 T, 1.38-1.51 T and 1.91-2.03 T for samples 30 mm, 4…
