The interest towards wood-plastic composites (WPCs) is growing due to growing interest in materials with novel properties, which can replace more traditional materials, such as wood and plastic. The use of recycled materials in manufacture is also a bonus. However, the application of WPCs has been limited because of t…

We have fabricated indium-doped ZnO (IZO) nanowires (NWs) and carried out four-probe electrical-transport measurements on two individual NWs with geometric diameters of ≈70 and ≈90 nm in a wide temperature T interval of 1-70 K. The NWs reveal overall charge conduction behavior characteristic of disordered metals. In a…

The edge chipping test was used to measure the fracture resistance of alumina/alumina‐zirconia laminated structures. Tailored, symmetrical laminated structures were prepared with a variety of layer thickness. The laminates had a significantly greater edge chipping resistance. Laminates with thin layers were just as ef…

The effect of vacuum annealing on superconductivity is investigated in Fe(Se,Te) single crystals. It is found that superconductivity is not enhanced by annealing under high vacuum (~ 10^(-3) Pa) or by annealing in a sealed evacuated quartz tube. In a moderate vacuum atmosphere (~ 1 Pa), iron oxide layers are found to…

The possibility of a three-state nanoelement, composed by a wire and a tube, is investigated by means of Monte Carlo simulations. The desired behavior may be identified by a step or plateau in the hysteresis curve, corresponding to a partial pinning of the domain wall at the interface between wire and tube sections. T…

For the energy bandgap of semiconducting graphene nano mesh (GNM), chirality dependent scaling rules have been proposed so far. Based on extensive tight binding studies and simple geometric arguments, we report that Pedersen scaling governs not only the energy bandgap but also the effective mass of the Bloch electron…
