Deformation mechanisms in yttria-stabilized cubic zirconia single crystals
(Walter de Gruyter, 2010)
This work attempts to give a unified picture of the microscopic mechanisms which control the plastic deformation in yttria-stabilized cubic zirconia single crystals, particularly for the soft orientation (uniaxial compression ...
Article
Optimal temperature range for determining magnetocaloric magnitudes from heat capacity
(Institute of Physics Publishing, 2016)
The determination of the magnetocaloric magnitudes (specific magnetic entropy change, Δs M, and adiabatic temperature change, ΔT ad) from heat capacity (c H) measurements requires measurements performed at very low ...
Article
Magnetic Multilayers as a Way to Increase the Magnetic Field Responsiveness of Magnetocaloric Materials
(American Scientific Publishers, 2012)
The magnetocaloric response of Ni–Cu based multilayers has been studied with the aim of optimizing their magnetic field dependence. In contrast to the behavior of single phase materials, whose peak magnetic entropy change ...

Optimization of the refrigerant capacity in multiphase magnetocaloric materials
(AIP Publishing, 2011-03-09)
The refrigerant capacity (RC) of magnetocaloric materials can be enhanced using multiphase materials or composites, which expand the temperature range over which a significant magnetic entropy change can be obtained. ...

Nanocrystallization Kinetics Under Instantaneous Growth Approximation: Experiments and Cellular Automata Simulations
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2010)
Nanocrystallization kinetics is analyzed in the frame of instantaneous growth approximation, which implies that the time required for a crystallite to reach its final size is negligible with respect to the time required ...

Thermal stability of a supersaturated Fe-Ge-Nb solid solution produced by ball milling
(Institute of Physics Publishing (IOP), 2010)
Thermal evolution of Fe neighbourhood in a supersaturated bcc Fe(Ge,Nb) solid solution, obtained as the final product of mechanical alloying of Fe75Ge20Nb5, was studied. No changes in Fe neighbourhood were detected after ...

Removal of basic yellow cationic dye by an aqueous dispersion of Moroccan stevensite
(Elsevier, 2013)
The aim of this study was to investigate the adsorption of basic yellow, a cationic dye, from aqueous solution by natural stevensite, with 104m2/g of specific surface area. The kinetics and the effects of several experimental ...

Evidence of nanograin cluster coalescence in spark plasma sintered α-Al2O3
(Elsevier, 2013)
The aim of this study is to elucidate the coarsening kinetics involved during densification of fine-grained pure α-alumina by spark plasma sintering. Low temperature and short dwell time sintering conditions were used to ...

Enhanced cryogenic magnetocaloric effect in Eu8Ga16Ge30 clathrate nanocrystals
(AIP Publishing, 2015)
We observe an enhanced magnetic entropy change ( D S M ) at cryogenic temperatures (T < 20 K) in Eu 8 Ga 16 Ge 30 clathrate (type-I) nanocrystals prepared by a ball milling method. With reduction in the ...

A Hh-driven gene network controls specification, pattern and size of the Drosophila simple eyes
(Company of Biologists Ltd, 2013)
During development, extracellular signaling molecules interact with intracellular gene networks to control the specification, pattern and size of organs. One such signaling molecule is Hedgehog (Hh). Hh is known to act as ...
