oarse 8YSZ powders destined for plasma spray deposition were obtained from three different suppliers (Hochrhein, Magnesium Elektron, Unitec). Their ionic conductivities were measured by impedance spectroscopy on pellets prepared by vacuum hot pressing. Den ...
Photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy has been used to investigate the effect that annealing temperature and ambient has on annealed molecular beam epitaxy grown GaN. Significant differences induced by the different annealing conditions occur in the PL spect ...
Delayed ettringite formation (DEF) can damage concrete that has experienced a temperature above about 70°C. Claims that slow release of sulfate from the clinker can have a similar effect in concrete not thus heated are unsupported. Chemical and microstruct ...
This paper is concerned with the calibration and validation of a finite-element model of dry sliding wear in metals. The model is formulated within a Lagrangian framework capable of accounting for large plastic deformations and history-dependent material b ...
Voltage offset and built-in polarization were investigated in in-situ reactively sputter deposited PZT thin films on Pt, as a function of composition, doping and cooling conditions. The voltage offset increases with increasing Ti content. Hot-poling treatm ...
Constant strain-rate and creep tests have been performed on poly-quasicrystalline specimens of the icosahedral Al-Cu-Fe system. Three temperatures (870, 960 and 1000 K) have been investigated by creep for samples predeformed at constant strain-rate before ...
The concept of monolithic shape memory alloys (SMA) micro-devices is to integrate all device functions within the same piece of material. This is very interesting in the field of micro-systems, because assembly is avoided. In such devices, the main problem ...
We report on carrier-induced effects on emission and absorption in forward biased GaAs/AlGaAs V-groove quantum wire (QWR) diodes observed using low-temperature (10 K) photoluminescence (PL), electroluminescence (EL) and PL excitation (PLE) spectroscopy. In ...
After more than a quarter of a century of active research, metal matrix composites (MMCs), and more particularly aluminum matrix composites (AMCs), are beginning to make a significant contribution to aerospace, automotive, and electronic industrial practic ...
GaN/InGaN heterostructures were grown by molecular beam epitaxy on sapphire (0001). The photoluminescence (PL) of InGaN/GaN quantum wells rapidly vanishes when the temperature increases from 10 to 100 K and is totally quenched above 150 K. This is the cons ...
