The search for novel spintronic devices brings about new ways to control switching in magnetic thin-films. In this work we experimentally demonstrate a device based on thermoelectrically controlled exchange coupling. The read out signal from a giant magnetoresistance element is controlled by exchange coupling through…

Perfect lensing and cloaking based on complementary media are possible applications of negative refractive index materials. Metamaterials represent the natural candidates to realize such property by tailoring the effective dielectric permittiviy and magnetic permeability. The fine tuning of $n<0$ of metamaterials is l…

Spin-dependent transport was investigated in a spin metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (spin MOSFET) with ferromagnetic MnAs source and drain (S/D) contacts. The spin MOSFET of bottom-gate type was fabricated by photolithography using an epitaxial MnAs film grown on a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substra…

We report on photoluminescence (PL) measurements at 85 K for GaN/AlGaN surface quantum wells (SQW's) with a width in the range of 1.51-2.9 nm. The PL spectra show a redshift with decreasing SQW width, in contrast to the blueshift normally observed for conventional GaN QW's of the same width. The effect is attributed t…

Microbiologically influenced corrosion of steel in anaerobic environments has been attributed to hydrogenotrophic microorganisms. A sludge sample collected from the bottom plate of a crude-oil storage tank was used to inoculate a medium containing iron (Fe(0)) granules, which was then incubated anaerobically at 37 deg…

Two different types cordierite/silicon carbide composite ceramic materials (KS 50 and KZ 50) were used for this investigation. Both materials were exposed to the water quench test from 950°C, applying various numbers of thermal cycles. When refractory samples are subjected to the rapid temperature changes crack nuclea…

We present first-principles calculations of elastic constants for several diamondlike ${\text{BC}}_{2}\text{N}$ $({\text{d-BC}}_{2}\text{N})$ structures. Our results show that for the fully relaxed ${\text{d-BC}}_{2}\text{N}$ structures, although the deviations of their lattice constants from those of cubic lattices a…

Abstract The fundamental role of solubility and supersaturation of solute for crystal growth from solution has been widely realized. In order to optimize the process of CuI crystal growth by CuI·HI decomplexation in HI acid, the solubility and supersaturation curves of CuI in HI‐H 2 O mixed solvent were measured, and…

Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) high-rubber powder (HRP) toughened acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS)/polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) blends were prepared in a co-rotating twin screw extruder. The effect of ABS HRP on mechanical and morphology properties of ABS/PMMA blends was studied. It is shown that the tou…

Abstract The crystallinity of hydroxyalkylformamides‐platicized thermoplastic starch (HAFTPS) was characterized by X‐ray diffraction (XRD). The HAFTPS crystallinity related to the structure of plasticizer hydroxyalkylformamides (HAF). If there was one H atom attaching to N atom of HAF, the corresponding HAFTPS only ha…
