We present measurements of submicron aerosols in Tijuana, Mexico during the Cal-Mex 2010 field campaign. A suite of aerosol instrumentations were deployed, including a hygroscopic-volatility tandem differential mobility analyzer (HV-TDMA), aerosol particle ...
Grain boundary stress relaxation in Au polycrystals and single crystals has been studied by mechanical spectroscopy. A relaxation peak related to grain boundaries is observed at 620 K. Molecular dynamics simulations on Au are performed in order to illustra ...
Most research focuses on varying the resonator and dielectric spacer to configure the absorption and resonant frequency of terahertz (THz) metamaterial absorbers (MAs), where a metal ground plane is used as a perfect reflector of incident THz waves. In thi ...
We present 6.1 W of output power from a flip-chip semiconductor disk laser (SDL) emitting in the 1.3 mu m wavelength region. This is the first demonstration of a flip-chip SDL in this wavelength range with output powers that are comparable to those obtaine ...
The influence of the carbon content on the microstructure, phase transformation and hardness of an iron-based cermet is studied. The cermet is constituted by a high-alloyed steel as matrix, and TiCN particles (50 vol.%) as reinforcement. The material is pr ...
Quaternary semiconductor Cu2ZnSnSe4 (CZTSe) is a very promising alternative to semiconductors based on indium (In) and gallium (Ga) as solar absorber material due to its direct band gap, inherent high absorption coefficient (> 10(4) cm(-1)) and abundance o ...
Silicon nitride based ceramics (SiAlONs); tetragonal polycrystalline zirconia (3Y‐TZP); alumina and their composites reinforced with different amount of multi‐ walled carbon‐nanotubes (CNTs) have been processed by Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS). High tempera ...
Three new lanthanide heterocyclic beta-diketonate complexes [Dy(PPI)(3)(EtOH)(2)] (1), [Dy(PPI)(3)(DPEPO)] (2), and [Tb(PPI)(3)(DPEPO)] (3) [where HPPI = 3-pheny1-4-propanoyl-5-isoxazolone and DPEPO = bis(2(diphenylphosphino)phenyl)ether oxide] have been s ...
We report a new colloidal synthesis of niobium-doped TiO2 anatase nanocrystals (NCs) that allows for the prepn. of ∼10 nm NCs with control over the amt. of Nb doping up to ∼14%. The incorporation of niobium ions leads to the appearance of a tunable, broad ...
A monocrystalline 18-carat yellow gold sample is deformed stepwise from 2% to 12% at room temperature. The mechanical loss spectrum is recorded and analysed. At low deformations the exponential high temperature background increases. At a critical deformati ...
