Rotation invariance imposes nonlinearities in the elastic strain of smectic liquid crystals. Though often neglected, in smectic liquid crystals these nonlinearities can generate new qualitative behavior, especially in the presence of defects such as dislocations. By exploiting geometry, I describe exact results on edg…

The orientation of crystals of the giant magnetostrictive compound Terfenol-D solidified in a static magnetic field has been investigated. When the melt with size ϕ16×18mm2 solidifies slowly in a static magnetic field of 140mT, texture of the samples appears and the easy magnetization axis of the polycrystal tends to…

The multiple-state storage capability of phase change memory (PCM) is confirmed by using stacked chalcogenide films as the storage medium. The current–voltage characteristics and the resistance–current characteristics of the PCM clearly indicate that four states can be stored in this stacked film structure. Qualitativ…

Future Army gun systems will require lighter weight and significantly more erosion-resistant materials. One route to achieve this goal is via the development of ceramic matrix composite barrel liners with lightweight metal matrix composite jackets. Such materials systems are hybrids of a ceramic matrix composite/metal…

The printing of photographs in pure gold, rather than the ubiquitous medium of silver, was first achieved in 1842 by Sir John Herschel, but his innovative ‘chrysotype’ process was soon consigned to obscurity, owing to its expense and uncertain chemistry. In the 1980s some modern coordination chemistry of gold was appl…

Novel B 3 CN 3 fibres with a special structure have been synthesized by a pyrolysis process. High-resolution TEM analysis shows that the as-prepared B 3 CN 3 fibres can be described as a nanofibre-interweaved network. Strong photoluminescence at 370 nm and 700 nm from the as-prepared B 3 CN 3 fibres are observed at ro…
