In this research, graphitization transformation of a commercial hypereutectoid steel called CK100 was studied by the dilatometric experiments at the range of 600 – 700 °C from prior martensitic structure. Also the effect of quenching media on the initial graphitization time and completion of transformation has been discussed. Also, graphitization transition from the different prior microstructu...

Metabolome characterisation is a powerful tool in oncology. To obtain a valid description of the intracellular metabolome, two of the preparatory steps are crucial, namely washing and quenching. Washing must effectively remove the extracellular media components and quenching should stop the metabolic activities within the cell, without altering the membrane integrity of the cell. Therefore, it ...

This paper presents the results of time and temperature resolved analysis of changes in phase composition and stresses/residual stresses during quenching and martensitic transformation of steel. Sample temperatures up to 900°C were reached with a specially-designed furnace, in which fast cooling of sample is executed by gas quenching. Stress development during quenching followed the expected tr...

A system suitable for real-time measurement of oxygen partial pressure (p02) in respiratory gas (oxigraphy) that is based on oxygen's ability to quench the phosphorescence of a lumiphore is described A description of currently used p02 technologies is provided followed by a description of the luminescence quenching p02 technology. A comparison of the technologies is made. The description of lum...

Many astrophysical bodies harbour magnetic fields that are thought to be sustained by a dynamo process. However, it has been argued that the production of large-scale magnetic fields by meanfield dynamo action is strongly suppressed at large magnetic Reynolds numbers owing to the conservation of magnetic helicity. This phenomenon is known as catastrophic quenching. Advection of magnetic fields ...

Medium modification of jet fragmentation function due to multiple scattering and induced gluon radiation leads directly to jet quenching or suppression of leading particle distribution from jet fragmentation. One can extract an effective total parton energy loss which can be related to the total transverse momentum broadening. For an expanding medium, both are shown to be sensitive to the initi...

The fluorescence of a polyanionic conjugated polymer can be quenched by extremely low concentrations of cationic electron acceptors in aqueous solutions. We report a greater than million-fold amplification of the sensitivity to fluorescence quenching compared with corresponding "molecular excited states." Using a combination of steady-state and ultrafast spectroscopy, we have established that t...

Perylene bisimide and triphenyl diamine are prototypical organic dyes frequently used in organic solar cells and light emitting devices. Recent Forster-resonant-energy-transfer experiments on a bridged organic dyad consisting of triphenyl diamine as an energy-donor and perylene bisimide as an energy-acceptor revealed a strong fluorescence quenching on the perylene bisimide. This quenching is ab...

The two pulse fluorescence bleaching experiments reported in an earlier paper @J. Chem. Phys. 117, 454 ~2002!# are reanalyzed in the context of additional experiments. The fluorescence bleaching observed in that paper was originally ascribed to ground-state depletion. By analyzing the absorption saturation behavior and the magnitude of the pump–probe signal, we find that the absorption cross se...
