It has recently been found that large uniaxial anisotropy fields in excess of 120 kA/m (1500 Oe) can be created in thin (3 nm to 5 nm) films of Co by obliquely...
Becker in 1925 and Mott and Nabarro in 1948 gave different expressions for the stress dependence of activation energy for shear in the limit when the stress...
The magnetic domain structure of cylindrical nickel dots is found to be a function of dot diameter and stripe period of unpatterned films of like thickness...
Weld overlay coatings are typically used to protect existing low alloy steel water-wall panels from accelerated sulfidation attack in fossil-fired boilers with...
Thermal barrier coatings (TBC s) are used to protect metallic components from extreme conditions like those encountered in turbine engines. TBC s serve two...
Incoherent elastic neutron scattering measurements are performed on hydrogenous polycarbonate films spun coat onto Si wafer. The drop of the elastic scattering...
