Photochromic materials are sensitive to light when such a material exposed to the sunlight or UV irradiation, it can change color very quickly and turn back to its original uncolored form by removing light resource. Photochromic powder at different ratios in polymeric gel were prepared and coated on ceramic surfaces b…
Transparent zinc oxide (ZnO) films on flexible copper-coated polyethylene terephthalate (PET) sheet have been grown by a potentiostatic cathodic deposition technique using aqueous zinc nitrate as electrolyte. ZnO films were fabricated using different deposition parameters such as applied potential, electrolyte concent…
In this paper the self-buckling of nanostructures, such as nanotubes, fullerenes and peapods, is analytically treated; this surprising phenomenon is due to the interaction among the nanostructures caused by the surface energy; it is peculiar of the nanoscale and has not a macroscopic counterpart. The influence of the…
Ceramics based on nanosized plasma chemistry Si3N4 powder compositions s (30-100 nm) is processed by activated pressureless sintering, hot pressing and hot isostatic pressing. Microstructure characterization of the obtained materials by means o light and scanning microscopy revealed no correlation between microstructu…
A Pd-Ni/La(Sr)CrO3-Ce(Sm)O2 composite anode showed good performance for solid oxide fuel cell reactions with dry CH4. Compositions of Pd and Ni in the Pd-Ni/La(Sr)CrO3-Ce(Sm)O2 composite anode affected the electrochemical oxidation catalysis of dry CH4. The Pd and Ni ratios from 50:50 to 75:25 were suitable for the ox…
Damage is a crucial characteristic of refractory castables and has to be considered to simulate correctly the behaviour of refractory structures. But, damage modelling by finite element simulations remains difficult. Indeed, the use of a continuum damage model with softening leads to strain localization phenomena. Num…
Nitride materials are critical for a range of applications, including UV-visible light emitting diodes (LEDs). Advancing the performance, reliability and synthesis of AlGaN/GaN and InGaN/GaN heterojunction devices requires a systematic methodology enabling characterization of key metric like alloy composition, thickne…
Consideration of technologies for the use of concentrated solar power (CSP) leads to the conclusion that there is substantially more energy in the sun’s heat than there is in its light. At present, solar-thermal energy conversion and storage systems using CSP have the shortcomings of the use of high pressures and pote…
Taking gratings with periodically varying slit width as two groups of diffraction hinge unit, light radiates on the gratings, each diffraction unit produces diffraction respectively, and then it is equivalent to interference of two beams of coherent light. Using the theory of light diffraction and interference, by mea…
In a recent letter, Xiao et al. [3] interpreted experimental results on the failure of nanotube bundles using Weibull Statistics. The prediction of the force versus strain curve was a smooth curve, only partially able to capture the observed discrete behavior of the bundle. In particular, abrupt jumps in the force, at…
A commercial field emission scanning electron microscopy (SEM) based around a miniature electron beam column includes an integrated electrostatic blanker, making the system well-suited for lithography. A previous version of the miniature column design demonstrated direct-write lithography with 70 nm lines and spaces w…
Good dispersion of active catalytic elements, their uniform distribution on the carrier’s surface and availability for neutralised combustion gases are key factors that determine the usability of catalyst cartridges for automotive catalytic reactors. By examining the morphology of oxide films, with SEM/STEM method, ob…
Protein adhesion on biomaterial surfaces plays a major role in determining their biocompatibility and cell responses. The goal of this study was to produce chitosan-based coatings of implant material polyurethane (PUR) for reduced human serum albumin (HSA) adhesion. Succinic anhydride was employed for modifying chitos…
Residual stresses of a copper bicrystal were measured by X-ray diffraction and synchrotron radiation. A copper bicrystal specimen with a 90-degree tilt boundary was fabricated by the Brigdman technique. After the plastic extension of 30%, kink bands developed in a deformed matrix along the grain boundary. In this stud…
Sintered fused silica is often used for making sacrificial cores in investment castings of Ni superalloys. Their usage is fundamental in the manufacture of precise superalloy gas turbine components with complex internal cooling passages. In this study SiO2/ZrSiO4/TiO2 cores were prepared from fused silica powders with…
The low thermal conductivity of Lanthanum hexaaluminate, abbreviated as LHA, combined with high structural reliability of alumina matrix ceramics attracted our attention to develop a new functionally graded layered LHA-Al2O3-composite, with a LHA and a porosity gradient along the thickness of a bulk oxide ceramic. LHA…
We show how synchrotron radiation (SR) in the terahertz (THz) region provides the possibility to measure the properties of conventional and exotic superconductors in their superconducting state. Indeed, through the coupling of SR and a conventional Michelson interferometer, one can obtain in the THz range a signal-to-…
Poling characteristics, especially DC poling field (E) dependence of dielectric and piezoelectric properties were investigated to evaluate the domain behavior in lead-free ceramics such as alkali niobate and alkali bismuth titanate ceramics. The domain switching was confirmed by the E to realize minimum dielectric con…
This paper models the elastic properties of 2-D woven hierarchical tissues, assuming an orthotropic material of warp and fill yarns at level 0. Considering matrix transformation and stiffness averaging, stiffness matrices of warp and fill yarns of the tissue at level i are employed to calculate those of the tissue at…
The function of metamaterials relies on their resonant response to electromagnetic waves in characteristic spectral bands. To make metamaterials homogeneous, the size of the basic resonant element should be less than 10% of the wavelength. For the THz range up to the visible, structure details of 50 nm to 30 μm are re…
