The high-pressure-induced structure transition in multiferroic hexagonal TmMnO3 (h-TmMnO3) has been investigated using an in situ angle-dispersive synchrotron X-ray diffraction technique in a diamond anvil cell. The experimental results show that the phase transition from ambient hexagonal to orthorhombic structure wi…
A series of aminosilanes has been synthesized by the reaction of carboxylic acid di(organyl)amides with trimethyliodsilane. A purification method providing an increase in the yield of end products to 82% has been developed. The identity of the products has been confirmed using an elemental analysis and IR, UV, and 1 H…
In order to fabricate novel infrared sensors, dense films of multi-wall carbon nanotubes have been grown on silicon and alumina substrates, using Plasma enhanced Chemical Vapour Deposition technique. The physical and optical characteristics of the devices were studied using a variety of methods. The carbon nanotube on…
The effect of inverter supply on the eddy-current losses in the laminated core of a synchronous machine is studied. A 2D finite element model including a dynamic model for the eddy currents in the core laminations is applied to predict the machine losses by numerical simulations. A synchronous extruder motor is simula…
1,2-bis[10,15-di(3,5-di-tert-butyl)phenylporphyrinatonickel(II)-5-yl]diazene was synthesised via copper-catalyzed coupling of aminated nickel(II) 5,10-diarylporphyrin ("corner porphyrin") and its X-ray crystal structure was determined. Two different crystals yielded different structures, one with the free meso-positio…
Optical absorption spectra of x-ray irradiated CdS1−xSex nanocrystals embedded in a borosilicate glass matrix are studied. The observed transformation of the confinement-related features in the spectra is related to the x-ray-induced negative ionization of the nanocrystals with charge transfer across the nanocrystal/m…
Internal structure and mineralogy of a zoned anorthite and grossular bearing leucotonalitic pegmatite in serpentinized lherzolite at Ruda nad Moravou was examined using electron microprobe. Specific Ca composition is a result of contamination and composition of melt.
Mn2 − x Zn x Sb (0.6 ≤ x ≤ 1.0) solid solutions are shown to undergo magnetic phase separation (coexistence of two magnetic phases in a structurally homogeneous material) using a combination of characterization techniques (magnetometry, X-ray diffraction, neutron diffraction, Mössbauer spectroscopy, and resistivity me…
A general theory for the lamella -> rod transformation is presented. The analysis has been developed in two steps: first, taking into account the condition of minimum Gibbs' free energy, next, using the criterion of minimum entropy production together with the concept of marginal stability. The pre…
Abstract EPDM rubber formulations filled with precipitated silica and cross-linked by peroxide vulcanization have been investigated with the objective of realizing better processing characteristics and vulcanizate properties. Dispersion of silica in EPDM rubber in the presence of conventional coupling agents and in th…
As the demand for new thermal technologies and materials has been increasing over the years to provide thermal solutions to the next generation of power electronics, microprocessors and high-power optical systems also thermal characterisation methods have to keep up with the pace of this development with respect to re…
Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) power systems are under active development for a range of applications. Tight thermo-chemical operating constraints together with strong thermal coupling in SOFC systems present significant challenges for system and control design. To facilitate model-based system design addressing steady…
Metastable cubic diamond has been found in the structure of solid carbon obtained by quenching of a liquid phase at a pressure (0.012 GPa) much lower than that corresponding to the existence of stable diamond. It is suggested that this metastable diamond is formed as a result of the recalescence of supercooled liquid…
Biocomposites of high density polyethylene (HDPE) and kenaf cellulose (KC) with polyethylene glycol (PEG) have been prepared by melt blending and compression moulding. The optimum temperature and reaction period for blending KC with HDPE were 145 °C and 12 minutes with rotation speed of 30 rpm, respectively. The effec…
Thermal manikins are useful tools to study clothing comfort and environmental ergonomics. The simulation of sweating can be achieved by putting a highly wicking stretchable knit fabric "skin" on top of the manikin. However, the addition of such a fabric skin makes it difficult to accurately measure the skin surface te…
Emergence of engineering nanomaterials to render exceptional properties require understanding the thermodynamics and kinetics of grain growth and eliciting role of grain boundary mobility therein. Grain boundary mobility in alumina (Al2O3) has shown several repercussions on the evolution of microstructure to render dr…
The widespread application of SF6 gas insulated substations (GIS) in high voltage power transmission requires reliable fault detection and diagnosis techniques. Partial discharge (PD) detection has so far been proven to be the most effective tool for GIS insulation diagnosis. Both ultra high frequency (UHF) technique…
Briefly overviewed are the SHS-based processes developed at our lab for synthesis of metal hydrides and their alloys. More than 200 binary and complex hydrides have been synthesized by SHS reactions of metals in hydrogen. Radiation-induced synthesis of transition metal hydrides, termed Thermal-Radiation Synthesis (TRS…
In this study, we adopt two different morphologies of self-made nano-TiO 2 powder to prepare a double-layer photoelectrode for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Further, DSSC module and thermoelectric generator (TEG) coated with nano-Cu thin film were integrated with a novel photo-thermoelectric generator. For the f…
Abstract We have prepared iron doped TiO 2 samples by the impregnation of TiO 2 (Degussa—P25) with Fe(III) nitrate as an iron precursor. Obtained materials were then characterized by structural x-ray diffraction (XRD) and optical (Uv-vis, Raman) techniques. Later, we deposited very small gold nanoparticles (AuNPs; <…
