The practical advantages of employing non-contact radio frequency (RF) methods for detecting partial discharges (PDs) in high voltage equipment have led to significant effort being focused on the diagnosis of electrical plants using RF techniques. This has particularly been the case for gas insulated substations, whic…
The authors report on the fabrication and characterization of a guided-mode resonance filter whose spectral reflectance features vary in a linear fashion as a function of position on the filter. This device was fabricated using nanoreplica molding in conjunction with a linearly graded TiO2 thin film deposition. The ma…
A hot filament chemical vapor deposition (HFCVD) method has been used to investigate the effects of atomic hydrogen and active carbon species on the growth of 1mm vertically aligned single-walled carbon nanotubes (VA-SWNTs). Isotopic shifts of the tangential phonon mode of SWNTs indicate that SWNT growth occurs primar…
Experimental evidence for the anisotropy compensation between Dy3+ and Pr3+ ions has been observed directly by performing x-ray diffraction on magnetic-field aligned powders and by evaluating the spin-reorientation temperature and the magnetostriction of Tb0.2Dy0.8−xPrx(Fe0.9B0.1)1.93 alloys. The spin-reorientation te…
Zinc oxide thin films were grown on sapphire substrates by metal organic chemical vapor deposition technique. Single crystal films with flat and smooth surfaces were reproducibly obtained, with application of sample bias and O2 inductively coupled plasma (ICP). At the growth condition of 650°C, 400W ICP power, −94V bi…
Lanthanum hexaboride films have been deposited on a tungsten tip by pulsed laser deposition technique. The field emission studies have been performed in the conventional field emission geometry. The Fowler-Nordheim plot obtained from the current-voltage characteristic is found to be linear in accordance with the quant…
Various fundamental building blocks (FBBs) are observed in the crystallographic structures of oxoborates available in the Inorganic Crystal Structure Database, Version 1.3.3 (2004); the occurrence of borate groups with low complexity is dominant. Bond-valence parameters d(0) of B-O bonds in 758 oxoborates with various…
Experimental I-V-Tc-ΔT data of thin-film superlattice thermoelectric modules is used to determine the internal ΔT, cross-plane Seebeck coefficient, effective thermal interface resistance, device ZT, and Qmax. We demonstrate 55K of external cooling at 300K (Tcmin=244.8K), with an estimated heat pumping capacity of 128W…
Vertically aligned tin-doped indium oxide (ITO) single-crystalline nanowire arrays are epitaxially grown on ITO/yttrium stabilized zirconia substrates by vapor transport method. Vacuum electron field emission properties of the aligned ITO nanowires are investigated. The turn-on electrical field at a current density of…
Abstract Summary: Migration of clay to the surface of nylon 6‐organically modified clay is investigated. The effect of annealing time and temperature on the migration of the clay is reported. Attenuated total reflectance FT‐IR spectrometry, X‐ray diffraction, and high‐resolution electronic microscopy are used in this…
The authors have found that the required dc magnetic bias of magnetoelectric (ME) laminates can be significantly altered, by incorporating additional high-permeability μ-metal layers. Investigations have focused on Tb1−xDyxFe2−y∕Pb(Zr1−xTix)O3∕μ-metal laminates. The authors’ results show that laminated μ-metal layers…
A nanotwin diffraction theory is developed. It predicts an adaptive diffraction phenomenon, where the Bragg reflection peaks are determined by coherent superposition of scattered waves from individual twin-related nanocrystals and adaptively shift along the twin peak splitting vectors in response to a change in the tw…
The low field Hall mobility of electron in diamond was investigated from room temperature to 873K, both experimentally and theoretically. The acoustic deformation potential for electron scattering is determined by fitting of theoretical calculations to experimental data for high quality {111} homoepitaxial phosphorus-…
In this paper, we investigate the dielectric breakdown data of some insulating materials and focus on the applicability of the two- and three-parameter Weibull distributions. A new distribution function is also proposed. In order to assess the model distribution's trustworthiness, we employ the Monte Carlo technique a…
Ab initio molecular dynamics simulations within the framework of density functional theory have been performed to study the structural, dynamic, and electronic properties of lithium disilicate melt and the glass derived from quenching the melt. It is found that lithium ions have a much higher diffusion coefficient and…
The authors report an efficient way of incorporating single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) into alumina matrix with strong interfaces by heterocoagulation. The fracture toughness of SWNTs/Al2O3 composite reaches 6.40±0.3MPam1∕2, which is twice as high as that of unreinforced alumina. The flexure strength of the composi…
We report on the origin of ferromagnetism in ZnO and Co-doped ZnO magnetic semiconductor films prepared by sol-gel technique on Si(100) and SiO2 substrates. X-ray diffraction measurements have shown that ZnO and Co-doped ZnO have the expected wurtzite structure and a preferential orientation along the c axis. Optical…
We perform an experimental study of the phase and amplitude of microwaves interacting with and scattered by two-dimensional negative index metamaterials. The measurements are performed in a parallel plate waveguide apparatus at X-band frequencies (8-12 GHz), thus constraining the electromagnetic fields to two dimensio…
Solid solutions of 0.45(Bi1−xLax)FeO3–0.55PbTiO3 (BLFPTx) for x=0.1, 0.2, and 0.3 were prepared by the mixed oxide method. BLFPTx showed the tetragonal perovskite structure of which the c∕a ratio and Curie temperature decreased with the increase of La content. Significant dielectric and magnetic enhancements were obse…
With the presence of biopolymer-sodium alginate as additive, Eu-doped ZnO (zinc oxide) urchins consisting of nanorods were synthesized through a hydrothermal route. X-ray diffraction pattern makes evident the absence of phase other than würtzite ZnO. Upon excited by 325nm xenon laser, such nanostructured Eu-doped ZnO…
