Investigation of ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties of ferroelectric films at nanoscale is not only of fundamental interest, but also critical to their applications as non-volatile ferroelectric memories and as microsensors and microactuators for microelectromechanical systems. Both intrinsic and extrinsic effects play a
Ferromagnetic shape memory alloys (FSMAs) are a new class of active materials, which combine the properties of ferromagnetism with those of a diffusionless, reversible martensitic transformation. These materials are technologically interesting due to the possibility of inducing large shape changes with an
Cubic boron nitride (cBN) is a synthetic and an intrinsically super-hard material with the second highest hardness and thermal conductivity next to diamond. Cubic BN with its tetrahedral sp3 structure is isostructural and isoelectronic to diamond. Diamond is far the most extreme
Fabricating nanostructures and tailoring their properties on the nanometer scales by conventional lithographic approaches are challenging. In particular, the creation of nanostructures with good alignment and uniform size, to enable and enhance desirable collective behaviors, is even more difficult. Such difficulties have
Title: Experimental determination of parameters of tracks on solid state nuclear track detectors from alpha particles with different incident energies and angles The use of solid state nuclear track detectors (SSNTDs) has already become a well-known technique which has been widely applied
The features of the first jump of the seasonal march associated with the interannual variabilities of the East Asia summer monsoon (EASM) trough are studied. The northward march of the monsoon trough has been identified and two kinds of EASM are categorized.
Integrated optics, or guided wave optics, is playing an increasingly important role in optical communication networks and optical sensor systems today. Optical devices with diverse functionality based on different materials have been demonstrated. Recently, polymeric waveguide devices have attracted a great deal
NiTi shape memory alloys are promising implant materials due to their shape memory effect and superelasticity. However, the high nickel content has hampered wider applications of the materials. Excessive surface corrosion and wear of NiTi raise health concerns because Ni ions released
Title: Laser interferometric studies of solder joints of surface mounted chips In order to understand the stress-strain relationship in surface mount solder joints. previous research workers used strain gauges to measure the deformation of these joints. However, this method is indirect and
