Temperature Dependence of the Magnetic Properties of Amorphous Fe-Me-Si-B Alloys

Alloying of amorphous Fe-Me-Si-B metallic compositions with nickel and molybdenum results in a decrease in the values of saturation magnetization in fields with a magnetic intensity of 0.72 MA/m. The same alloying additions decrease the temperature of formation of new magnetic Fe₃B-type phases, which are stable up to 873 ± 5 K.     

Piezoelectric Nanogenerators for Self-Powered Nanodevices

A novel approach converts nanoscale mechanical energy into electric energy for self-powering nanodevices.In our own work, we've used piezoelectric zinc-oxide nanowire (ZnO NW) arrays to demonstrate a novel approach for converting nanoscale mechanical energy into electric energy. Here, we review the fundamental principle behind the nanogenerator, present an approach for improving its performance, and discuss some of the challenges we face in pushing this technology to reach its potential.     

Mathematical simulation of the viscous properties of concentrated suspensions

A mathematical model for calculating the viscous properties of concentrated suspensions characterized by particle sizes of 30 to 800 µm), solids volume fractions of 1 to 70 vol %, different particle-size distributions, and a shear-rate range of 0.16 to 437 s^?1, which can describe the time evolution of the properties, is proposed. The model can be applied to calculating the viscous properties of catalyst oxide pastes, particulate-filled polymeric pastes, and the like.

Nanoparticles and Their Effective Use in the Technology of Highly Concentrated Binding Suspensions (HCBS) and Refractory Castables. Part 1

General aspects (including terminology) related to the use of ultradisperse particulates (nanosystems) are discussed. The important role of nanoparticles in the technology of highly concentrated binding suspensions (HCBS) and refractory castables is emphasized. Using nanoparticles provides a route toward improving the rheotechnologic properties of HCBS and HCBS-based molding mixtures as well as the structure and service properties of the end product.

Unified analytical expressions for calculating resonantfrequencies, transimpedances, and equivalent input noise currentdensities of tuned receiver front ends

Unified analytical expressions have been derived for calculating the resonant frequencies, transimpedance and equivalent input noise current densities of the four most widely used tuned optical receiver front ends built with FETs and p-i-n diodes. A more accurate FET model has been used to improve the accuracy of the analysis. The Miller capacitance has been taken into account, and its impact on the performances of the tuned front ends has been demonstrated. The accuracy of the expressions has been verified by Touchstone simulations. The agreement between the calculated and simulated performances of the front ends is very good. The expressions can be used to investigate the performances of different tuned front ends in a very simple way and provide a good starting point for further computer optimizations of the front ends
