. By comparing the two-state and a three-state unfolding processes of proteins, the order of the unfolding free energy was always inconsistent with the order of stability observed. This raises the question about the accuracy of the evaluated unfolding free energy values of three-state models. In this chapter, the line…

Abstract Two epoxy‐amine networks were toughened by using a nanophase separating antiplasticizer at various contents ranging from 0 to 20 mol % with respect to the epoxide. These model networks were chosen to differ markedly by their glass transition temperature in the absence of additive, namely 180°C and 114°C. Net…

BaTiO3 nanowires were grown in an amorphous aluminum oxide membrane from a sol-gel via electrophoresis. These had a ferroelectric coercive field of 5 kV/mm after undergoing a thermal treatment. This value is 12–16 times larger than the bulk value. Such enhancements are in agreement with local PFM measurements by other…

Irradiating with pulsed laser light induces high-speed optical switching of surface magnetization-induced second harmonic generation (MSHG) in Fe0.52Rh0.48 thin films at room temperature. The second harmonic rotation angle (θSH) of 25.0° was recorded in the irradiated film at 2000 Oe. This θSH value is as much as 740…

Flux Reversal Machines can be easy to manufacture, are reliable and well suited for direct-drive applications. They also have the advantage that they can be controlled as standard synchronous PM machines. As for most of doubly salient machines, the machine design is relatively complicated due to the highly non-linear…

Eddy current losses generated in the rotor of permanent magnet machines may lead to an excessive magnet heating. This can cause the magnets to get fully demagnetized so it is very important to analyze the losses on them. In high power application usually it is necessary to design solutions to reduce eddy current losse…
