ABSTRACTSingle phase orthorhombic YBa2(Cuy1−xZnx)3O7 samples were formed for 0<x<0.16. The high T superconductivityXfor x=6 (T =90 K) is rapidly depressed with increasing x, and is quenched for x>0.08. Low field (<100 G) cooled magnetization studies show that the superconducting component decreases as x approaches the critical value for suppression of superconductivity, and this is supported by high resolution specific heat measurements in the vicinity of T. Temperature dependent electrical resistivity studies for x<0.08 show metallic behavior; for x>0.10 semiconducting behavior. The electrical resistance was studied at high quasihydrostatic pressures also, and for x=0.08 showed that T is depressed with increasing pressure: T → 0 K for P >10 GPa. This is in°contrast to YBa2(Cuy1−xZnx)3O7 where dT /dP>0. The data support evidence for the high sensitivity to chemical and ice perturbations of the physical properties of samples near the superconducting-normal transition region.

ABSTRACTWe report low and high field vibrating sample magnetometry results and resistance measurements on a highly oriented, single-phase sample of Y1Ba2Cu3O7−x. We find no anisotropy for the low-field (1mT) Meissner effect or trapped flux. Ratios for high field (to 1.9 T) and ρab/ρc are ∼ 2 and 3.6 respectively. Both are different from single-crystal results, a difference we attribute to grain boundary effects.

AbstractIn this paper, the temperature-dependent matrix multicracking evolution of carbon-fiber-reinforced silicon carbide ceramic-matrix composites (C/SiC CMCs) is investigated. The temperature-dependent composite microstress field is obtained by combining the shear-lag model and temperature-dependent material properties and damage models. The critical matrix strain energy criterion assumes that the strain energy in the matrix has a critical value. With increasing applied stress, when the matrix strain energy is higher than the critical value, more matrix cracks and interface debonding occur to dissipate the additional energy. Based on the composite damage state, the temperature-dependent matrix strain energy and its critical value are obtained. The relationships among applied stress, matrix cracking state, interface damage state, and environmental temperature are established. The effects of interfacial properties, material properties, and environmental temperature on temperature-dependent matrix multiple fracture evolution of C/SiC composites are analyzed. The experimental evolution of matrix multiple fracture and fraction of the interface debonding of C/SiC composites at elevated temperatures are predicted. When the interface shear stress increases, the debonding resistance at the interface increases, leading to the decrease of the debonding fraction at the interface, and the stress transfer capacity between the fiber and the matrix increases, leading to the higher first matrix cracking stress, saturation matrix cracking stress, and saturation matrix cracking density.

Abstract We investigate numerically and experimentally the optical properties of the transverse electric (TE) waves supported by a dielectric-metal heterostructure. They are considered as the counterparts of the surface plasmon polaritons (i.e., the transverse magnetic (TM) waves) which have been extensively studied in the last several decades. We show that TE waves with resonant wavelengths in the visible light spectrum can be excited in a dielectric-metal heterostructure when the optical thickness of the dielectric layer exceeds a critical value. We reveal that the electric and magnetic field distributions for the TE waves are spatially separated, leading to higher quality factors or narrow linewidths as compared with the TM waves. We calculate the thickness, refractive index and incidence angle dispersion relations for the TE waves supported by a dielectric-metal heterostructure. In experiments, we observe optical resonances with linewidths as narrow as ∼10 nm in the reflection or scattering spectra of the TE waves excited in a Si3N4/Ag heterostructure. Finally, we demonstrate the applications of the lowest-order TE wave excited in a Si3N4/Ag heterostructure in optical display with good chromaticity and optical sensing with high sensitivity.

The frequency and temperature dependence of dielectric properties of CH3NH3PbI3 (MAPI) crystals have been studied and analyzed in connection with temperature-dependent structural studies. The obtained results bring arguments for the existence of ferroelectricity and aim to complete the current knowledge on the thermally activated conduction mechanisms, in dark equilibrium and in the presence of a small external a.c. electric field. The study correlates the frequency-dispersive dielectric spectra with the conduction mechanisms and their relaxation processes, as well as with the different transport regimes indicated by the Nyquist plots. The different energy barriers revealed by the impedance spectroscopy highlight the dominant transport mechanisms in different frequency and temperature ranges, being associated with the bulk of the grains, their boundaries, and/or the electrodes’ interfaces.

In this paper we investigate the role played by viscous heating in extensional flows of viscous threads with temperature-dependent viscosity. We show that there exists an interesting interplay between the effects of viscous heating, which accelerates thinning, and inertia, which prevents pinch-off. We first consider steady drawing of a thread that is fed through a fixed aperture at given speed and pulled with a constant force at a fixed downstream location. For pulling forces above a critical value, we show that inertialess solutions cannot exist and inertia is crucial in controlling the dynamics. We also consider the unsteady stretching of a thread that is fixed at one end and pulled with a constant force at the other end. In contrast to the case in which inertia is neglected, the thread will always pinch at the end where the force is applied. Our results show that viscous heating can have a profound effect on the final shape and total extension at pinching.

The effect of the addition of Sn on the superconducting properties of the Bi 1.7 Pb 0.3 Sr 2 Ca 2 Cu 3 O y system as functions of Sn concentration and heat treatment has been studied by dc electrical resistance, ac magnetic susceptibility, and X-ray diffraction. Tin addition suppresses the volume fraction of the high T c phase. Samples with Sn > 0.1 show metallic behavior up to LNT. The formation of the Ca 2 PbO 4 phase is promoted by Sn. This depletes the amount of Pb and Ca necessary for the formation of the 2223 phase, thus reducing the volume fraction of the 2223 phase. It is possible that at least a small fraction of tin substitutes some of the cationic sites of the starting composition. The results of the different measurements are presented.

Vaesite, a nickel chalcogenide with NiS2 formula, has been synthetized and studied by theoretical and experimental methods. NiS2 was prepared by solid-state reaction under vacuum and densified by hot-pressing, at different consolidation conditions. Dense single-phase pellets (relative densities >94%) were obtained, without significant lattice distortions for different hot-pressing conditions. The thermal stability of NiS2 was studied by thermogravimetric analysis. Both as-synthetized and hot-pressed NiS2 have a single phase nature, although some hot-pressed samples had traces of the sulfur deficient phase, Ni1-xS (<1%vol), due to the strong desulfurization at T > 340ºC. The electronic band structure and density of states were calculated by Density Functional Theory (DFT), indicating a metallic behavior. However, the electronic transport measurements showed p-type semiconductivity for bulk NiS2, verifying its characteristic behavior has a Mott insulator. The consolidation conditions strongly influence the electronic properties, with the best room-temperature Seebeck coefficient, electrical resistivity and power factor being 182µVK-1, 2257μΩm and 14.1µWK-2m-1, respectively, pointing this compound as a good starting point for a new family of thermoelectric materials.

Polyaniline (PANI) is recognized as one of the most important conducting polymers due to its high conductivity and good stability. In this paper, polyaniline/silver (PANI/Ag) nanocomposites were synthesized by in-situ polymerization of aniline using ammonium peroxydisulphate (APS) as oxidizing agent with varying concentration of Ag nanoparticles colloids (0 ml, 25 ml and 50 ml). Silver nanoparticles were synthesized separately in colloidal form from silver nitrate (Ag2NO3) with the help of reducing agent sodium borohydride (NaBH4). The PANI/ Ag nanocomposites were characterized by XRD, SEM, AFM, UV-visible, temperature dependent resistivity and dielectric measurements. All samples show a single phase nature of the nanoparticles. The electrical resistivity as function of temperature was measured in the temperature range 298–383 K, which indicates a semiconducting to metallic transition at 373 K and 368 K for 25 ml and 50 ml silver colloid samples, respectively.
