As a result of the steel cable security rating, it is essential to determine that the nature, value, and quantity of defects will not exceed the critical reject limits while in operation. The high-temperature impact results in uneven wire heating in the cable operation activity. It leads to the cable deflected mode ch…

We employed a scanning tunneling microscope to image the (001) surface topography and local density of states (LDOS) in La$_{2-2x}$Sr$_{1+2x}$Mn$_2$O$_7$ (x=0.32, LSMO) single crystals below the Curie temperature (T$_C$ = 120 K). The LDOS maps revealed a stripe-like modulation propagating along the tetragonal a axis w…

We report ultrafast transient-grating experiments on heavily p-type InP at 15 K. Our measurement reveals the dynamics and diffusion of photoexcited electrons and holes as a function of their density n in the range 2E16 to 6E17 cm-3. After the first few picoseconds the grating decays primarily due to ambipolar diffusio…

By adding a non-linear core correction to the well established Dual Space Gaussian type pseudopotentials for the chemical elements up to the third period, we construct improved pseudopotentials for the Perdew Burke Ernzerhof (PBE) functional and demonstrate that they exhibit excellent accuracy. Our benchmarks for the…

The voice is produced by the vibration of vocal cords which are located in the larynx. Therefore, one of the major consequences for patients subjected to laryngectomy is losing their voice. In these cases, a synthetic one-way valve set (voice prosthesis) can be implanted in order to allow restoration of speech. Most v…

The Mg–12Gd–3Y–0.6Zr (GW123, wt.%) alloy was prepared by cast, and thermo-mechanically treated by single and secondary hot extrusion techniques. The microstructure, texture and mechanical properties of the extruded alloy were investigated. The results show that in different treated conditions the microstructure is mai…

We have measured the electrical properties of a V 2 O 3 thin film micro bridge at the insulator-metal transition (IMT). Discontinuous jumps to lower voltages in the current voltage characteristic (IV) followed by an approximately constant voltage progression for high currents indicate an electrical breakdown of the de…

First-principles calculations show that spin-up and spin-down carriers accumulate adjacent to the opposite surfaces of a BiFeO 3 (BFO) film upon applying an external bias. The spin carriers are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, and spin-down carriers move in the direction opposite to the external electric…
