In this paper, we consider the origin of high-temperature strength of heat-resistant steels belonging to martensitic class developed on the basis of the Fe—9%Cr alloy for the boiler pipes and steam pipelines of power plants at steam temperatures of up to 620°C and pressures to 300 atm. In addition, we give a brief inf…

Quasi-static tensile shear mechanical properties of resistance spot welds of three dual phase (DP) grades including DP600, DP780 and DP980 are investigated. Results showed that weld fusion zone size, failure mode and the strength/ductility of failure location are the main factors governing the peak load and the energy…

The successful of anti-cancer treatment are often limited by the development of drug resistance. Recent work has highlighted the involvement of non-coding RNAs, microRNAs(miRNAs) in cancer development, and their possible involvement in the evolution of drug resistance has been proposed. In this study, we combine taxol…

Problem statement: Noise control was one of the major requirements to improve the living environment. One of the methods to do that is provided by sound absorber. Commonly, multi-layer sound absorbers are applied to absorb broadband noise that was composed of perforated plates, air space and porous material. However,…

An ultracompact transverse magnetic (TM)-pass polarizer based on silicon nanophotonic waveguides is proposed, which contains two tapered waveguides sandwiching a narrow waveguide section only supporting TM-mode propagation. A full-vectorial eigenmode solver is employed to determine the appropriate cross section of the…

Inspired by recent experimental studies on the fabrication of carbon nanoscrolls (CNSs) on solid substrates, we perform theoretical study and molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the translational rolling/unrolling of a CNS on rigid substrate. We show that a substrate-supported CNS can be controlled to roll f…

Analysis of steady-state and transient photoconductivity measurements at room temperature performed on c-axis oriented GaN nanowires yielded estimates of free carrier concentration, drift mobility, surface band bending, and surface capture coefficient for electrons. Samples grown (unintentionally n-type) by nitrogen-p…

We prepared very thin amorphous InSe films and investigated the thickness dependence of the nonlinear absorption by pump-probe and open aperture Z-scan techniques. While thinner films (20 and 52 nm) exhibit saturable absorption, thicker films (70 and 104 nm) exhibit nonlinear absorption for 4 ns, 65 ps, and 44 fs puls…

The synthesis of a nanoarchitectured composite material consisting of tin and tin oxide nanowires grown onto titania nanotubes by anodization of titanium and tin electrodeposition is reported. The crystallinity of the electrodes can be tuned by optional heat treatment, but the initial morphology is preserved. XRD patt…

A grating coupler for interfacing between single-mode fibers and photonic circuits on silicon-on-insulator is demonstrated. It consists of columns of fully etched photonic crystal holes, which are made in the same lithography and etching processes used for making the silicon-on-insulator wire waveguide. The holes have…

An exchange for the better: X-ray absorption spectroscopic studies show that treatment of an RuIII drug, NAMI-A, with bovine serum albumin (BSA) results in complete replacement of the Cl− and S-donor ligands with N-donor and carboxylato residues of the protein (see scheme). The RuIII–BSA adduct is as active in enhanci…

We demonstrate that the electron transport in conjugated polymers as poly[2-methoxy-5-(2-ethylhexyloxy)-1,4-phenylenevinylene] (MEH-PPV) is limited by deep traps that mask the intrinsic transport properties of free electrons in these materials. These traps can be deactivated by addition of the $n$-type dopant decameth…

Photoelectrochemical effects in p-InxGa1−xN (0≤x≤0.22) alloys have been investigated. Hydrogen generation was observed in p-InGaN semiconducting electrodes under white light illumination with additional bias. It was found that p-InGaN alloys possess much higher conversion efficiencies than p-GaN. Time dependent photoc…
