We study, both theoretically and experimentally, the features on current-voltage characteristic of a highly transparent Josephson junction caused by transition superconducting leads to normal state. These appear due suppression Andreev excess current. show that tracing dependence voltage, at which occurs, bath temperature analyzing current bias voltage one can recover heat flow out junction. ve...

Measurements with the Sondrestrom radar have been used to examine the daytime thermospheric neutral wind and to relate that wind to other geophysical parameters. Ion drag is found to be particularly important for determining the wind pattern. However, evidence is presented that the wind pattern is significantly influenced by soft particle precipitation and, possibly, by Joule heating.

Our extensive measurements of damage thresholds for fused silica and several fluorides (LiF, CaF, MgF and BaF) at 1053 and 526 nm for pulse durations, 2, ranging from 275 fs to 1 ns are reported elsewhere at this meeting. A theoretical model based on electron production via multiphoton ionization, Joule heating, and collisional (avalanche) ionization is in good agreement with experimental results.

This paper presents a model for Joule heating induced analyte dispersion in electrophoretic separation channels with a rectangular cross section. The model is in closed form and captures the effect of cross-sectional geometry. Three-dimensional numerical simulations are performed to satisfactorily verify the model, which can be used to accurately predict the performance of high speed electropho...

Nanoelectrochemical patterning of redox responsive organometallic poly(ferrocenylsilane) (PFS) multilayers is demonstrated by electrochemical dip pen lithography (EDPN). Local electrochemical oxidation and Joule heating of PFS multilayers from the tip are considered as relevant mechanisms related to structure generation. The influence of applied bias potential, tip velocity, and multilayer thic...

Point-contact spectroscopy was performed on single crystals of the heavy-fermion superconductor CeCoIn(5) between 150 mK and 2.5 K. A pulsed measurement technique ensured minimal Joule heating over a wide voltage range. The spectra show Andreev-reflection characteristics with multiple structures which depend on junction impedance. Spectral analysis using the generalized Blonder-Tinkham-Klapwijk...

Morphological transition and the fabrication of unique architectures through molecular self-assembly of dipeptides are caused by the formation of a small nucleus in artificial supersaturation, achieved by quick drying of the solvent due to the local Joule heating. The growth mechanism of "diatom-like" porous microspheres and microtubes is proposed on the basis of several new techniques develope...

We have performed a series of idealized MHD calculations of the response of an anode plasma layer to the rising magnetic field in an applied-B ion diode. The purposes of this study were to consider Joule heating of the plasma layer, which could pose potential problems for lithium ion diodes, and the leakage of flux behind the ion-emitting surface, which is related to impedance collapse. We find...

The rapid thermal processing (RTP) technique features dynamic control of temperature, which permits high heating and cooling rates that cannot be reached with conventional furnace treatments. In recent years, RTP has been increasingly applied to the processing of magnetic materials. The controllable heating profiles provide an approach for the deliberate construction of materials structure via ...
