The bidirectionally coupled magnetoelastic model (BCMEM) developed by Mudivarthi et al (2008 Smart Mater. Struct. 17 035005) has been extended to include electric currents in its magnetic finite element formulation. This enables the model to capture the magnetoelastic behavior of magnetostrictive materials subjected t…

In this study, a correlation between densification, microstructure, and electrical properties of BaTiO3 (BT) ceramics prepared from ultrasonically de-agglomerated BT powders has been analyzed. BT powders with the same crystal structure (tetragonal) and stoichiometry, but with different average particle size, were used…

Recently reported inverse isotope effect is investigated on the basis of the two-band and two-channel attractive model by using the weak coupling Bardeen–Cooper–Schrieffer (BCS) scheme. If we assume the several attractive or repulsive interactions for Cooper pairs, which works in different energy ranges, the isotope e…

The pressure dependence of superconducting transition temperature $T_{\rm c}$ has been investigated through the DC magnetic measurements for FeSe$_{0.8}$ and FeSe$_{1.0}$. For both samples, with increasing pressure $P$, the $T_{\rm c}$$-$$P$ curve exhibits a two-step increase, showing a local maximum of $\sim$11 K at…

Electronic relaxation and interparticle electromagnetic coupling processes in hollow gold nanospheres (HGNs) and HGN aggregates are described. These plasmon-tunable HGNs exhibit an unexpected, but systematic, blue shift of the surface plasmon resonance spectral position when the particles are aggregated. Femtosecond t…

The weak-field Hall conductivity is calculated in monolayer graphene within a self-consistent Born approximation. The Hall conductivity sufficiently away from the Dirac point exhibits the dependence qualitatively in agreement with the Boltzmann result, but it deviates in the region near zero energy, the width of which…

We provide direct evidence for successive exchange of D atoms in the isotopically pure ${\text{BH}}_{4}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ units of the crystalline solid lithium borohydride. We prove the coexistence of all ${\text{BH}}_{4\ensuremath{-}n}{\text{D}}_{n}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ $(0\ensuremath{\le}n\ensuremath{\le}4)$ units in…

A rigorous theory of liquid-crystal transitions is developed starting from the Liouville equation. The starting point is an all-atom description and a set of order-parameter field variables that are shown to evolve slowly via Newton's equations. The separation of time scales between that of atomic collision or vibrati…

Effect of porosity on grain growth is both the most frequent and technologically important situation encountered in ceramic materials. Generally this effect occurs during sintering, however, for nuclear fuels it also becomes very important under reactor irradiation conditions. In these cases pores and gas bubbles atta…

Abstract In this study, the properties of polypropylene (PP) homocomposites, prepared by film‐stacking followed by hot pressing, were investigated. Alpha‐ and beta‐PP served as matrices, whereas highly oriented PP tapes of the alpha form acted as reinforcement in the homocomposites. Tapes with different draw ratios (D…
