The mechanical properties of continuous fibre reinforced metals (CFRMs) are known to be very sensitive to the selection and composition of the metallic matrix; for aluminium based CFRMs, commercial alloys are not suitable for this purpose. In the present s ...
Nanocomposite thin films exhibit interesting optical properties which differ from those of the pure constituents. Effective medium theories are used to model the dielectric function of the nanocomposite materials. We give an introduction to the theories of ...
Ta and Ti are the most widely used additions for technical Nb3Sn multifilamentary superconductors. These elements are known to influence grain growth, grain morphology and chemical composition in the A15 layer, hence the current carrying properties of the ...
We report on the nonlinear optical dynamical properties of excitonic complexes in CdTe modulation-doped quantum wells, due to many-body interactions among excitons, trions, and electrons. These were studied by time and spectrally resolved pump-probe experi ...
Osmium-rich Pt group element (PGE) alloys occur worldwide in association with chromite in ultramafic (peridotite) complexes. It has been suggested that these Os-rich alloys formed under extreme P-T conditions in the lowermost mantle, before the metallic co ...
Magnetophotoluminescence has been studied from a single undoped GaN/AlxGa1-xN heterojunction with a linewidth of 2.5 meV. The peak originates from the recombination of a photoexcited hole with an electron in the two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) formed a ...
The invention provides a device for dispensing accurately-controlled small quantities of at least one liquid, comprising a liquid supply (L); a gas supply (G), arranged to selectively supply a gas pressure; and a capillary duct (20) adapted to be filled wi ...
Conventional scan-conversion algorithms were developed independently of filling algorithms. They cause many problems, when used for filling purposes. However, today's raster printers and plotters require extended use of filling, especially for the generati ...
We have realized a micromechanical cantilever magnetometer with an integrated two-dimensional electron system (2DES) in an AlGaAs/GaAs heterostructuregrown by molecular-beam epitaxy(MBE). The cantilever was defined by lithography and wet-etched selectively ...
We investigate the mechanisms leading to the optical non-linearities observed on a strongly excited semiconductor microcavity containing quantum wells. This study of a coupled exciton-cavity system is possible owing to the availability of a sample of excep ...
