A nanosized β‐Si 3 N 4 ‐based powder doped with sintering additives of 6 wt% Al 2 O 3 and 8 wt% Y 2 O 3 were sintered by spark plasma sintering at different heating rates. The in situ shrinkage curves were measured to identify the densification mechanism during the rise in temperature. At slower heating rates (50 and…

This paper presents the mechanical polishing effects on the surface domains and crystal structures of relaxor‐based Pb(Zn 1/3 Nb 2/3 )O 3 –PbTiO 3 (PZN–PT) single crystals. In normal sample preparation processes, a “surface deformed layer” composed of distorted crystal structures is produced due to intense compression…

Temperature depedence of the longitudinal interlayer magnetoresistance (MR) of a bulk Dirac cone system, α-(BEDT-TTF) 2 I 3 , is examined. It exhibits a peak related to the crossover from the quantum limit regime with negative MR at low temperatures to the inter-level scattering regime with positive MR at higher tempe…

We measured the splay (K11) and bend (K33) elastic constants in the nematic phase of a liquid crystal with T-shaped molecules. We find that the ratio, K33/K11 ≃1 in the entire nematic range except very close to the nematic to Sm-A (SN) transition. Both K33 and K11 show pretransitional divergence as the SN transition i…

A theoretical model for the longitudinal magnetoelectric effect in laminate composites comprising magnetostrictive and piezoelectric phases is presented. The model characterizes the magnetoelectric media in terms of its permeability, permittivity, and magnetoelectric-susceptibility tensor. A distinct approach to model…

We consider a formation of the Larkin-Ovchinnikov-Fulde-Ferrell (LOFF) phase in a quasi-one-dimensional (Q1D) conductor in a magnetic field, parallel to its conducting chains, where we take into account both the paramagnetic spin splitting and orbital destructive effects against superconductivity. We show that, due to…
