We discuss the use of thin film heterostructures for the generation of artificial multiferroic or magnetoelectric material systems. In this regard the transition metal oxides BiFeO3 and BiCrO3 are of particular interest. By using laser molecular beam epitaxy we have grown epitaxial thin films of these materials on SrT…

We construct a synthetic left-handed transmission line with cascaded varactors and shunt inductors. By modulating dc bias, the capacitance of the varactors can be changed and modulation of the output phase state is possible. For frequencies from 4.7 to 6.4 GHz, a very linear phase variation versus voltages of over 200…

For many wood machining processes, the interest of tool steels remains very important because of their good tool edge accuracy and easy grinding. The main problem is their low resistance to wearing and moderately toughness. To increase their performance, a laser treatment applied on the tool edges was presented in thi…

The composite of carboxyl‐modified multi‐walled carbon nanotubes (MWNT‐COOHs) and TiO2 nanoparticles was prepared by improved solvothermal process. X‐ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and UV‐Vis spectra were used to characterize the products. The results show that MWNT‐COOHs were “welded” b…

In this study, a SrCo 0.4 Fe 0.5 Zr 0.1 O 3- δ (SCFZ) dense mixed-conducting membrane was applied to a membrane reactor for the thermal decomposition of carbon dioxide (TDCD) (CO 2 ↔ CO + 1 / 2 O 2 ). The SCFZ membrane broke after the membrane reactor ran for about 36 h, because the eroding gases, such as CO 2 and CO,…

The industrial production of poly(N‐vinylformamide), PNVF, was started a few years ago, making the desired polyvinylamine, PVAm, accessible on a large scale via hydrolysis of PNVF. According to the literature, the key to achieving a 100% conversion of PNVF into PVAm is to employ basic hydrolysis conditions. However, r…
