The possibility of decreasing ultimate tensile strength associated with increasing fiber/matrix interfacial sliding is investigated in ceramic-matrix composites. An axisymmetric finite-element model is used to calculate axial fiber stresses versus radial p ...
Stress-induced changes in the imprint and switching behavior of (111)-oriented Pb(Zr,Ti)O-3 (PZT)-based capacitors have been studied using piezoresponse force microscopy. Visualization of polarization distribution and d(33)-loop measurements in individual ...
Capacitors in metal-insulator-metal structure have been fabricated with different bottom electrodes. It has been found that the observed losses are enormous at gigahertz frequencies unless due care is taken not only for the conductivity of the bottom elect ...
The photodissociation of water into hydrogen gas is mediated by a catalytic dispersion of fine metal particles. This dispersion is stabilized by polymers of alkylene glycols which are adsorptive to said particles and which act as protective agents in solut ...
A novel MEMS technological platform for RF passive components, namely RF MEMS switches, tuneable capacitors and high-Q suspended inductors, is reported. The proposed process employs a metal (Al, AlSi or Cu) as active movable layer and amorphous silicon or ...
NOVELTY - A micro-electro-mechanical-system (MEMS) is manufactured by the use of a sacrificial layer that is made of silicon. USE - The invention is used in surface micromachining for the manufacture of a MEMS containing a suspended metal layer or MEMS dev ...
This paper is concerned with reaction systems in which fuel production is achieved by illumination of aqueous solutions. Research interest in this field focuses on the photoredox reaction A + D [graphic omitted] A–+ D+ in which A and D are solutes of which ...
