Integrated photonic devices based on Si3N4 waveguides allow for the exploitation of nonlinear frequency conversion, exhibit low propagation loss, and have led to advances in compact atomic clocks, ultrafast ranging, and spectroscopy. Yet, the lack of Pocke ...
Hydrogen embrittlement (HE) is a ubiquitous and catastrophic mode of fracture in metals. Here, embrittlement is considered as an intrinsic ductile-brittle transition at the crack tip, where H at the crack tip can reduce the stress intensity K-Ic for cleava ...
The binary Re1-xMox alloys, known to cover the full range of solid solutions, were successfully synthesized and their crystal structures and physical properties investigated via powder x-ray diffraction, electrical resistivity, magnetic susceptibility, and ...
The mechanical action on iron of the first horseshoe electro-magnets (1824) was obvious. Their use to investigate more subtle magnetic, magneto-optical, atomic or nuclear properties of matter began in 1845 with Faraday. Until the first iron-less Bitter mag ...
The computation of 3-D magnetic fields is a demanding task in the analysis of electrical machines and other electromagnetic devices. In this context, integral field calculation provides a smooth solution, high precision and resolution, "on-demand"-calculat ...
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN is being prepared for its full energy exploitation during Run III, i.e. an increase of the beam energy beyond the present 6.5 TeV, targeting the maximum discovery potential attainable. This requires an increase of th ...
The motivation to search for signatures of superconductivity in Weyl semi-metals and other topological phases lies in their potential for hosting exotic phenomena such as nonzero-momentum pairing or the Majorana fermion, a viable candidate for the ultimate ...
High temperature superconducting (HTS) materials have the potential to generate a magnetic field beyond the level obtainable with low temperature superconducting (LTS) materials. This review reports on past and present R&D on HTS cables and conductors for ...
High-field accelerator magnets of the next generation will require coil grading in order to decrease the amount of superconductor and hence the magnet cost. The joints between Nb3Sn conductor grades must have low electrical resistance (
The next generation magnetic spectrometer in space, AMS-100, is designed to have a geometrical acceptance of 100 m(2) sr and to be operated for at least ten years at the Sun-Earth Lagrange Point 2. Compared to existing experiments, it will improve the sens ...
