The carbon nanowalls (CNWs) grown by Plasma-Enhanced CVD reveal differences in the magnetotransport properties depending on synthesis parameters. In this paper, we report influence of deposition temperature, which produces variations disorder microstructure CNWs. Relative low leads to weak localization with transition antilocalization. Higher generates positive Hopping mechanism field a crossov...

The (Bi1.6Pb0.4)Sr2Ca2Cu3O10/Ag superconductor tapes have great potential for power transmission application. At relatively high temperatures, the transport critical current density (Jc) is limited by the weak pinning of magnetic flux lines. Movement of the flux lines as a result of the Lorentz force leads to the dissipation of energy and the appearance of electrical resistance. Improvement in ...

In this research the influence of adding SiC on microstructure and electrical properties of ZnO-based Nanocomposite varistors were investigated. SiC was added with amounts of 10-0 mass% to ZnO-based varistor composition. It is found that SiC allows reaching to high threshold voltage with formation of fine-graine...

ZrO2 has been used for hip and knee joint replacements because of the excellent combination of biocompatibility, low density and corrosion resistance. However, coarse-grained ZrO2 has low wear, abrasion resistance and fracture toughness. One of the methods to improve mechanical properties is generally to refine the grain size. As nanomaterials possess high strength, high hardness, excellent duc...

In this research, the mechanical properties and microstructure of Al-15 wt % TiC composite samples prepared by spark plasma, microwave, and conventional sintering were investigated. The sintering process was performed by the speak plasma sintering (SPS) technique, microwave and conventional furnaces at 400 °C, 600 °C, and 700 °C, respectively. The results showed that sintered samples by SPS hav...

We present high resolution observations of microstructure and texture evolution during dynamic recrystallization (DRX) of ice polycrystals deformed in the laboratory at high temperature (≈0.98Tm). Ice possesses a significant viscoplastic anisotropy that induces strong strain heterogeneities, which result in an early occurrence of DRX mechanisms. It is therefore a model material to explore these...

Metal matrix-impregnated diamond composites are widely used in diamond tool manufacturing. In order to satisfy the increasing engineering requirements, researchers have paid more and more attention to enhancing conventional metal matrices by applying novel methods. In this work, ZrO₂ nanoparticles were introduced into the WC-bronze matrix with and without diamond grits via hot pressing to impro...

In a gelatin-dextran mixture, changing the (relative and/or absolute) concentration of the components leads to the formation of different microstructures. Confocal laser scanning microscopy illustrated that the nature of the microstructure determines the location and morphology of Escherichia coli colonies. Observations indicate that bacterial growth preferentially occurs in the dextran phase, ...
