This article studies the electric response of an electrically small hemispherical object with negative permittivity by computing its polarizability which is determined by two orthogonal components, the axial one and the transverse one. A certain range of negative permittivity values is found where the mathematical det…

The dynamic yield stress and the dynamic strength were measured for D16T aluminum alloy samples loaded by plane shock waves of submicrosecond duration. The temperature was varied from 20 to 470°C. It is established that the dynamic yield stress of the alloy decreases upon heating due to annealing. The dynamic yield st…

The organization of nematic liquid crystals in thin cells with one surface topographically patterned by thiolene step and flash nanoimprint lithography was studied using depolarizing transmission light microscopy. Planar bistable organization was observed for 2 and 4μm wide square grid patterns in agreement with model…

Estimates are made of the effect of tissue confinement on the response of small bubbles subjected to lithotriptor shock pressures. To do this the Rayleigh-Plesset equation, which governs the dynamics of spherical bubbles, is generalized to treat a bubble in a liquid region (blood), which is in turn encased within an e…

We report on strain measurements in Ni-Mn-Ga, Ni-Mn-In, Ni-Mn-Sn and Ni-Mn-Sb polycrystalline alloys as a function of temperature and magnetic field. Experiments are carried out in the austenitic and martensitic phases of the alloys. It is shown that in the cubic phase the magnetostrain is similar for all systems but…

Novel fluorescent silkworm silks incorporated with CdTe quantum dots (QDs) have been prepared via electrostatic assembly using a polyelectrolyte (PE) as a fixer. The bright fluorescence of the silks/QDs obtained could be tuned from green to near-infrared (NIR) by changing the QD size, thereby enabling the fluorescence…

We report on structural, magnetic, and transport properties of La0.7Ba0.3MnO3 thin films, epitaxially grown on MgO substrates. Despite the quite similar structural features if compared to crystalline manganite films, our samples show a metal-insulator transition temperature of about 200K, sizeably lower than the bulk-…

In situ synthesis of bulk Al 3 BC 3 was achieved via a reactive hot‐pressing method using Al, B 4 C, and graphite powders at 1800°C for 2 h. The reaction path for synthesizing Al 3 BC 3 was investigated. It was found that Al 3 BC 3 formed via the reaction of C, B 4 C, and Al 4 C 3 above 1180°C. Dense Al 3 BC 3 was pre…

Lake St. Lucia, South Africa's largest estuarine system, was isolated from the sea by a beach berm throughout a severe drought from 2002 to 2007, with the lake water level being extremely low over much of its total area. A reverse salinity gradient resulted, with the lowest salinity in the south near the sea and the h…

The present understanding of magnetic properties of quasicrystals (QCs) is reviewed. In AlMn and AlPdMn QCs, only a few Mn atoms, with concentrations from a few per cent down to 10−4 carry a localized magnetic moment. These moments are coupled via RKKY interactions, leading to a canonical spin-glass ordering at low te…
