Structural and electrical behaviour in Bi14YO22.5

Structural and electrical properties of In-doped vanadium oxide thin films prepared by spray pyrolysis

The In-doped vanadium pentoxide nanostructures with different doping levels including 0, 10, 20 and 30 at.% were prepared by the spray pyrolysis technique. The prepared thin films were characterized by the x-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The XRD results revealed that the films were crystalline in tetragonal phase. Increasing the In-doping level made the structure...

Emergent behaviour in large electrical networks

Many complex systems have emergent behaviour which results from the way in that the components of the system interact, rather than their individual properties. However, it is often unclear as to what this emergent bahaviour can be, or inded how large the system should be for such behaviour to arise. In this paper we will address these problems for the specific case of an electrical network comp...

Structural Behaviour in Fire and Real Design

A great deal of understanding into the behaviour of composite steel-concrete structures in fire has been developed since the Cardington frame fire tests (UK) 1990s. This has now been broadened so that structures in fire design has a real engineering basis and is not reliant on results from single element testing in the standard furnace. Several projects involving office buildings in the UK and ...

Electrical Recombination Behaviour at Dislocations in Gallium Phosphide and Silicon

Self-assembly of carbon nanotubes in polymer melts: simulation of structural and electrical behaviour by hybrid particle-field molecular dynamics.

Self-assembly processes of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) dispersed in different polymer phases have been investigated using a hybrid particle-field molecular dynamics technique (MD-SCF). This efficient computational method allowed simulations of large-scale systems (up to ∼1 500 000 particles) of flexible rod-like particles in different matrices made of bead spring chains on the millisecond time scal...
