Abstract It is shown that porous Silicon in various geometries and morphologies can be used for novel optical elements by combining theoretical insights with suitable porous structures and some pre‐ and post‐processing of the Silicon. The paper restricts itself to light propagation in the pore direction. Theoretical a…

Pd/ZrO2 nanocomposite materials were synthesised following a two-step procedure. Firstly, tetragonal zirconia was prepared via a chemical route; then it was subjected to an in-situ electrochemical impregnation with palladium nanoparticles. Different process times lead to a different Pd loading in the resulting materia…

La 2 ∕ 3 Ca 1 ∕ 3 MnO 3 (LCMO) films have been deposited on (110)-oriented SrTiO3 (STO) substrates. X-ray diffraction and high-resolution electron microscopy reveal that the (110) LCMO films are epitaxial and anisotropically in-plane strained, with higher relaxation along the [1–10] direction than along the [001] dire…

Abstract An analysis of the steady-state film blowing process based on a two-phase constitutive model that accounts for flow-enhanced crystallization is presented. The amorphous melt phase is represented by a multi-mode Giesekus constitutive equation with a transformation-dependent relaxation time and the semi-crystal…

The article presents a three-dimensional coupled numerical solution of momentum, mass, energy and solute conservation equations, for binary alloy solidification. The interdendritic flow in the mushy zone is assumed to obey the Darcy's law. Microsegregation is governed by the lever rule, assuming local equilibrium at p…

We prepared novel S‐shaped liquid crystal oligomers, the 4,4′‐bis(ω‐(2‐(ω‐(4‐(cyanophenyl)phenyloxy)alkyloxy)phenyloxy)alkyloxybiphenyls (S‐n ), and investigated their transition behaviour. The oligomer with even‐numbered spacers (S‐6) exhibited a nematic phase, whereas the oligomer with odd‐numbered spacers (S‐7) exh…
