A giant magnetoresistance (GMR) is observed in the Mn 2− x Zn x Sb ( x < 0.3) system, with the largest MR ratio of −37.6% in a field of 5 T at 120 K for the Mn 1.9 Zn 0.1 Sb compound. Different from other Mn 2 Sb-based compounds, the GMR in Mn 2− x Zn x Sb is closely correlated with a field-induced transition from a w…

In this work, we introduce the idea of cage formation probability, defined by considering the angular space needed by a particle in order to leave a cage given an average distance to its neighbors. Considering extreme fluctuations, two phases appear as a function of the number of neighbors and their distances to a cen…

We prepared K+-, Mg2+-, and Y3+-doped Ni–Ti–O polycrystalline ceramics by chemical synthesis combined with a traditional ceramic processing. Analysis of the microstructure and phase composition reveals that a core/shell structure can be observed and NiTiO3 phase exists as the grain boundary. Our results indicate that…

This project is a feasibility study to control a wing flap using shape memory alloy (SMA). Two key issues were addressed: (1) how to use SMA to effectively actuate the wing flap and (2) how to improve the actuation frequency once the initial conceptual design proves to be feasible. The 1 task involves the conceptual d…

Severe plastic deformation (SPD) has been demonstrated to be the most efficient method to produce bulk metals with ultrafine grained (UFG, 100 nm < grain size d < 500 nm) and nanocrystalline (NC, d<100 nm) microstructures. Such metals exhibit some unique properties owing to their unusual microstructures such…
