Automobile Recycling Policy: Background Materials

The issue of automobile recyclability is a problem with complex ramifications for car makers world-wide. Confronted with increasingly stringent fuel economy, emissions, and safety standards, recyclability is an attribute which can limit the ability of the automaker to meet these other goals economically. Nevertheless, social and political pressures upon the industry require that it responds to ...

Advanced Soft Magnetic Materials for Magnetic Recording Heads and Integrated Inductors

High performance magnetic heads, inductors and transformers, indispensable to information technology encompassing from information storage, portable power delivery, to wireless communication, require soft magnetic films with low coercivities, high permeability, and large ferromagnetic resonance frequencies. The Fe-Co-N-based films have a ferromagnetic resonance frequency of >1 GHz at zerobias f...

An application of nanotechnology in advanced dental materials.

BACKGROUND This article reports the authors' development of nanofillers and a resulting nanocomposite. They measured the nanocomposite's properties in vitro in comparison with those of several existing composites (hybrids, microhybrids and microfill). METHODS The authors developed two types of nanofillers: nanomeric particles and nanoclusters. They used optimal combinations of these nanofille...

Advanced correlation functionals: application to bulk materials and localized systems.

Time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) is an efficient method to evaluate excited-state properties of electron systems. However, it is not so well-known that it also provides a very accurate prescription to obtain correlation energies by using the so-called adiabatic connection fluctuation dissipation theorem (ACFDT). In this paper we present a detailed study of the ACFDT performance ...
