We have solved and refined the crystal structure of the orthorhombic gamma-phase of Ca(BD4)(2) by combined synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction, neutron powder diffraction, and ab initio calculations. Among five structural candidates giving the same qualit ...
We report on the magnetic excitation spectrum of the coupled-spin tetrahedral system Cu2Te2O5Cl2 using Raman scattering on single crystals. The transition to an ordered state at T-N(Cl)=18.2 K evidenced from thermodynamic data leads to the evolution of dis ...
The radical cation salt, ET2MnCuN(CN)(2), [ET=bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene] with an unusual three-dimensional anionic polymeric network is studied by x-ray diffraction, static susceptibility measurements, and electron spin resonance (ESR) at ...
Force and pressure sensing technology applied to smart surgical instruments as well as implants allow to give a direct feedback of loads to the surgeon lead to better reliability and success of surgical operations. A common technology used for sensors is l ...
In the presented study Gd and the alloy Fe49Rh51 are considered to be possible magnetocaloric materials for a new hyperthermia method. From general principles of thermodynamics a new mathematical model allowing the calculation of heat transport in a tumor ...

A model for predicting composite material strength degradation under elevated and high temperatures is proposed. This model is based on the morphology of the mixture of materials in different states. The degradation of resin-dominated shear strength can be ...
10-Gb/s modulation speed and transmission over 10-km SM fiber with BER < 10(-11) up to 100 degrees C temperature are achieved with optimized wafer-fused GaAs/AlGaAs-InP/InAlGaAs VCSELs incorporating re-grown tunnel junction. These VCSELs operate in the 131 ...
The synthesis parameter space of bismuth catalyzed germanium nanowires by chemical vapor deposition is determined. The process window for high aspect ratio nanowires is found to be extremely narrow. The optimal conditions are found to be 300 degrees C and ...
Piezoelectric materials are used in a wide range of applications, with lead zirconate titanate (PZT) ceramics being the dominant family of materials, due to high piezoelectric coefficients, dielectric permittivity and coupling factors. The high properties ...
The temperature dependence of residual stresses in a WC-17.8vol.%Co cemented carbide was measured by neutron diffraction. The comparison of the WC lattice parameter within the WC-Co and within stress-free WC reference provides a measurement of lattice elas ...
