A novel, low‐temperature synthesis method for producing BaTiO 3 thin films patterned in the form of nano‐tubes (“honeycomb”) on Ti substrates is reported. In this two‐step method, the Ti substrate is first anodized to produce a surface layer (∼200–300‐nm thickness) of amorphous titanium oxide nano‐tube (∼100‐nm diamet…

Abstract Published data of impact sensitivity of 33 polynitro compounds detected by sound were expressed as the drop energy, E dr , required for 50 percent initiation probability. A logarithmic relationship has been found between the E dr values and heats of fusion of the said compounds. The relationship has been foun…

To study the effect of oxygen partial pressure on grain growth in BaTiO 3 , TiO 2 ‐excess samples have been sintered in air with and without a prior H 2 heat treatment. Without prior H 2 treatment, abnormal grain growth occurs below and above the eutectic temperature ( T e ). An introduction of H 2 treatment before ai…

Airdecking is used in mining for two quite different applications. One is to enhance the fragmentation by amplifying the induced fracturing and the second is for pre-split blasting in which the borehole fracturing is reduced. This paper deals with the first of these effects. A forth coming paper will describe pre-spli…
