Effect of grain size on superelasticity in Fe-Mn-Al-Ni shape memory alloy wireAPL Materials - Tập 1 Số 3 - 2013
Toshihiro Omori, M. Okano, Ryosuke Kainuma
Effects of grain size on superelastic properties in Fe-34Mn-15Al-7.5Ni alloy
wires with a ⟨110⟩ fiber-texture were investigated by cyclic tensile tests. It
was confirmed that the critical stress for induced martensitic transformation
and the superelastic strain are functions of relative grain size d/D (d: mean
grain diameter, D: wire diameter), and that the critical stress is proportional
to (1–d/... hiện toàn bộ
Reduction of the thermal conductivity in free-standing silicon nano-membranes investigated by non-invasive Raman thermometryAPL Materials - Tập 2 Số 1 - 2014

We report on the reduction of the thermal conductivity in ultra-thin suspended
Si membranes with high crystalline quality. A series of membranes with
thicknesses ranging from 9 nm to 1.5 μm was investigated using Raman
thermometry, a novel contactless technique for thermal conductivity
determination. A systematic decrease in the thermal conductivity was observed as
reducing the thickness, which is... hiện toàn bộ
Possible experimental realization of a basic Z2 topological semimetal in GaGeTeAPL Materials - Tập 7 Số 12 - 2019
Erik Haubold, Alexander Fedorov, Florian Pielnhofer, I. P. Rusinov, Tatiana V. Menshchikova, Viola Düppel, Daniel Friedrich, Richard Weihrich, Arno Pfitzner, Alexander Zeugner, Anna Isaeva, S. Thirupathaiah, Yevhen Kushnirenko, E. D. L. Rienks, T. K. Kim, Е. В. Чулков, B. Büchner, С. В. Борисенко
We report experimental and theoretical evidence that GaGeTe is a basic Z2
topological semimetal with three types of charge carriers: bulk-originated
electrons and holes as well as surface state electrons. This electronic
situation is qualitatively similar to the classic 3D topological insulator
Bi2Se3, but important differences account for an unprecedented transport
scenario in GaGeTe. High-resolu... hiện toàn bộ
High-throughput screening of perovskite oxynitride and oxide materials for visible-light photocatalysisAPL Materials - Tập 6 Số 10 - 2018
Keisuke Sawada, Takahito Nakajima
We performed a high-throughput screening of 29 160 perovskite oxynitrides and
oxides in order to discover novel photocatalysts for water splitting by visible
light. Efficient high-throughput simulations with density functional theory were
performed on the K computer, which is a massively parallel multi-core
supercomputer in Japan. By applying the screening procedure to the entire set of
compounds ... hiện toàn bộ
Reduced graphene oxide wrapped Cu2O supported on C3N4: An efficient visible light responsive semiconductor photocatalystAPL Materials - Tập 3 Số 10 - 2015
Sundaram Ganesh Babu, R. Vinoth, P. Surya Narayana, Detlef W. Bahnemann, Bernaurdshaw Neppolian
Herein, Cu2O spheres were prepared and encapsulated with reduced graphene oxide
(rGO). The Cu2O–rGO–C3N4 composite covered the whole solar spectrum with
significant absorption intensity. rGO wrapped Cu2O loading caused a red shift in
the absorption with respect to considering the absorption of bare C3N4. The
photoluminescence study confirms that rGO exploited as an electron transport
layer at the ... hiện toàn bộ
Work function and surface stability of tungsten-based thermionic electron emission cathodesAPL Materials - Tập 5 Số 11 - 2017
Ryan Jacobs, Dane Morgan, John H. Booske
Materials that exhibit a low work function and therefore easily emit electrons
into vacuum form the basis of electronic devices used in applications ranging
from satellite communications to thermionic energy conversion. W–Ba–O is the
canonical materials system that functions as the thermionic electron emitter
commercially used in a range of high-power electron devices. However, the work
functions,... hiện toàn bộ
Nanolabyrinthine ZrAlN thin films by self-organization of interwoven single-crystal cubic and hexagonal phasesAPL Materials - Tập 1 Số 2 - 2013

Self-organization on the nanometer scale is a trend in materials research.
Thermodynamic driving forces may, for example, yield chessboard patterns in
