Mold powder is generally made of SiO 2 and CaO with little amount of calcium fluoride (CaF 2 ) and carbon. Basically, F − has a crucial effect on viscosity and crystallization of the powder. However, emission of toxic materials containing F − constituent such as HF and SiF 4 leads to serious environmental pollution. O…

Changes in permeability and magnetic losses in non-oriented electrical steel sheets resulting from compressive stress have been investigated using a single-sheet tester. A compressive stress of up to 20 MPa is uniformly applied normal to the sheet surface. It is demonstrated that a stress beyond 5 MPa can decrease mag…

There is a quantum spin Hall state in the inverted HgTe quantum well, characterized by the topologically protected gapless helical edge states lying within the bulk gap. It has been found that for a strip of finite width, the edge states on the two sides can couple together to produce a gap in the spectrum. The phenom…

Metasurfaces presenting a phase-gradient are designed at 10 GHz and are proposed to steer an antenna's radiated beam from broadside towards endfire direction. The metasurfaces are composed of both inductive and capacitive grids and the phase-gradient is achieved by modifying the elements in the inductive grid. Such ph…
