The temperature dependence of the magnetostrain was investigated in the Ni50Mn27.5Ga22.5 magnetic shape memory alloy with a five-layer martensitic (5M) structure in the temperature range from 110Kto300K. A temperature threshold at 166K was found for the magnetostrain. A giant magnetostrain of 6.3% was achieved above t…

Ammonia (NH3) gas was thought to be essential for the growth of vertically aligned multiwalled carbon nanotubes (VA-MWCNTs) and led to the formation of bamboo-like structures. Here, we show that VA-MWCNTs with ideal tubular structures can be grown on substrates by various mixed gases with or without NH3 gas. The growt…

We report that vacuum-deposited amorphous MoO3–TeO2 films of different thickness (469–1185 nm) and compositions show metal-insulator transition (MIT) in the temperature (Tp) range 341–231 K (depending on thickness and composition). Interestingly, the corresponding thick bulk glass plates (∼0.2–0.5-mm thickness) of sam…

Microstructure and mechanical properties of Al2O3-TiO2-SiC nanocomposites were studied. To improve the mechanical and tribological properties of alumina, nano-sized TiO2 and SiC powders were dispersed. Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) technique, at 1400°C, 50 MPa for 5 minutes, was applied for the densification of Al2O3-T…

Snapshot hyperspectral imaging simultaneously acquires spatial and spectral information about a scene. We report on the first, to our knowledge, all-reflective snapshot hyperspectral imager in the form of a computed tomography imaging spectrometer (CTIS). The reflective design allows for instrument simplicity for appl…

Magnetite (Fe3O4) has attracted much interest due to its unique properties such as the Verwey transition and 100% spin polarization at the Fermi surface. In this study thin films of epitaxial magnetite were grown on MgO and MgAl2O4 substrates using pulsed laser deposition. Previous studies suggested that the Verwey tr…
