Dendritic Growth Morphologies in Al-Zn Alloys-Part I: X-ray Tomographic Microscopy

Michel Rappaz, Jonathan Friedli, Paolo Di Napoli

Upon solidification, most metallic alloys form dendritic structures that grow along directions corresponding to low index crystal axes, e.g., directions in fcc aluminum. However, recent findings[1,2] have shown that an increase in the zinc content in Al-Zn ...

Fundamentals of flexoelectricity in solids

Alexander Tagantsev, Petr Yudin

The flexoelectric effect is the response of electric polarization to a mechanical strain gradient. It can be viewed as a higher-order effect with respect to piezoelectricity, which is the response of polarization to strain itself. However, at the nanoscale ...

Evolution of magnetic and crystal structures in the multiferroic FeTe2O5Br

Helmuth Berger

Neutron diffraction and nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) measurements were employed to investigate magnetic order in the nonferroelectric phase preceding the low-temperature multiferroic state in FeTe2O5Br. Refinement of the neutron diffraction data and ...

Modeling effects of asymmetry and fiber bridging on Mode I fracture behavior of bonded pultruded composite joints

Thomas Keller, Anastasios Vassilopoulos, Moslem Shahverdi

The fracture behavior of adhesively-bonded pultruded double cantilever beam specimens was experimentally investigated. The pultruded adherends comprised two mat layers on each side with a roving layer in the middle. An epoxy adhesive was used to form the d ...

Experimental and theoretical study of the Gouy phase anomaly of light in the focus of microlenses

Hans Peter Herzig, Toralf Scharf, Myun Sik Kim, Ali Naqavi

We report on the Gouy phase anomaly of light in the focus of cylindrical and spherical microlenses. The prime subject of our study concerns a discussion of how the very small size of microlenses affects the phase properties of light in their foci. We put e ...

Chromatin organization and global regulation of Hox gene clusters

Denis Duboule

During development, a properly coordinated expression of Hox genes, within their different genomic clusters is critical for patterning the body plans of many animals with a bilateral symmetry. The fascinating correspondence between the topological organiza ...

Hands-on Symmetry with Augmented Reality on Paper

Pierre Dillenbourg, Frédéric Kaplan, Quentin Bonnard

Computers have been trying to make their way into education, because they can allow learners to manipulate abstract notions and explore problem spaces easily. However, even with the tremendous potential of computers in education, their integration into for ...

Analysis of the low-frequency spectrum of the cubic noncentrosymmetric ferrimagnet Cu2OSeO3

Helmuth Berger

The IR reflectance spectra of the cubic noncentrosymmetric ferrimagnet Cu2OSeO3 (T-C approximate to 60 K) were investigated in the temperature range 10-80 K. Detailed analysis of the symmetry and composition of vibrational modes was conducted on the basis ...

X-ray tomographic microscopy analysis of the dendrite orientation transition in Al-Zn

Michel Rappaz, Jonathan Friedli, Paolo Di Napoli

Recently, Gonzales and Rappaz [Met. Mat. Trans. A37:2797, 2006] showed the influence of an increasing zinc content on the growth directions of aluminum dendrites. < 100 > and < 110 > dendrites were observed below 25wt.% and above 55wt.% zinc, respectively, ...

Fourier Approximation Of Symmetric Ideal Knots

Henryk Gerlach, Mathias Carlen

Enforcing a specific symmetry group on a curve, knotted or not, is not trivial using standard interpolations such as polygons or splines. For a prescribed symmetry group we present a symmetrization process based on a Fourier description of a knot. The pres ...
