The phase behaviour of hard spherocylinders is calculated using the classical density functional theory of freezing. In particular, we construct a modified weighted-density approximation and calculate the bulk phase diagram. While the stability regime of the isotropic, nematic and smectic-A phases is in reasonable agr…

Electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis or ESCA is a powerful tool for the characterisation of chemical species at surfaces. ESCA can therefore play a major role in the study of heterogeneous catalysts and catalytic processes. In the polymer field, more recently an increase in sensitivity combined with high spectr…

MnBi bulk samples with the low temperature phase are successfully prepared by arc-melting under a He atmosphere. Samples with the high temperature phase are firstly prepared by rapidly quenching a molten solution of Mn and Bi which is arc-melted at an atmospheric pressure of He gas. Subsequently, zone-melting is perfo…

The failure of oxide scales formed on mild steel (mass contents of 0.17% C, 0.13% Si, 0.72% Mn) was investigated using a high‐temperature tensile test technique over the temperature range 830 – 1150°C. Strain and strain rates used were 1.5 – 20% and 0.02 – 4.0 s −1 , respectively. The scales were 10 – 300 μm thick. Th…

The problem of premature failure of rotating machines fed by inverters appears to be of crucial importance. Understanding of the phenomena caused by this new type of supply on the stator insulation of motors provides enhanced reliability of the inverter/motor set. After identifying the stresses created by this type of…

Vanadium oxide films were prepared by dip‐coating from V‐oxoisoproxide sols and heating at 300°C for 1 h. Transmission electron microscopy combined with electron and X‐ray diffraction revealed that the films consist of disordered grains with an orthorombic structure .

On-site partial discharge (PD) measurement is required to ensure proper installation of extra high voltage (EHV) cable systems accessories. To achieve high sensitivity and good localization, two problems have to be overcome. First, the strong high frequency in long XLPE cables requires that the sensors be located alon…

X-Ray amorphous ZnO nanoparticles homogeneously dispersed in a silica matrix were evidenced in ZnO-SiO 2 nanocomposites obtained by a sol-gel method and heated to 700 °C. TEM observations indicated that the particle size slowly increases with temperature and zinc oxide content, reaching an upper limit of 12 nm. Throug…
