The rheology of crustal mushes is a crucial parameter controlling melt segregation and magma flow. However, the relations between mush dynamics crystal size shape distribution remain poorly understood because complexity melt-crystal crystal-crystal interactions. We performed analog experiments to characterize mechanisms that control pore space reduction associated with repacking. Three suspensi...

Background: Mn-Zn ferrites have drawn a continuously an increasing interest because of their potential applications as multifunctional devices. These materials simultaneously exhibit ferroelectricity and ferromagnetism. The dielectric and leakage current properties of Cobalt substituted Mn-Zn ferrites coated with oleic acid were not reported. Methods: This paper presents the synthesis, electric...

Methods A rate-dependent single crystal plasticity based algorithm is used for the three dimensional analysis of themechanical behaviour of ultra-thin specimens containing flat grains. The specimens are loaded in uniaxial tension. By analyzing the interaction of a single-crystalline matrix with a misoriented grain in the sheet samples, clear insight is obtained in the locally occurring grain–gr...

Locality and storage management considerations for fork-join parallelism lead to the loss of the important List Scheduling property. The worst case performance of the constrained scheduling policies, called PaH and ToS, is very bad: (nearly) all parallelism is lost. “Practical” performance, however, differs radically from worst case performance. The PaH and ToS policies perform on average withi...

Geological data from measurement of sediment granulation over a 24 hour period in a lake formed by the Matanuska Glacier in Alaska was applied to synthesis parameters. The parameters measured include time, grain size and grain frequency. Several mapping strategies were employed to generate different types of additive and granular synthesis sound materials: 1) time to event grouping, sediment gr...

Ceramics with starting compositions of P1−xGexNb9O25 (x = 0–1) were prepared by conventional solid-state reaction method. Crystal phases, microstructure and dielectric properties investigated. The formed crystal phases for the x 0 1 identified as PNb9O25 GeNb18O47, respectively, a continuous solid solution was < 1. As increased, decrease grain size, denser an increase constant observed. composi...

CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite solar cells with a mesoporous TiO2 layer and spiro-MeOTAD as a hole transport layer (HTL) with three different CH3NH3I concentrations (0.032 M, 0.044 M and 0.063 M) were investigated. Strong variations in crystal size and morphology resulting in diversified cell efficiencies (9.2%, 16.9% and 12.3%, respectively) were observed. The physical origin of this behaviour was anal...

Introduction:  In  this  study,  we  utilized  the  MCNP4C  Monte  Carlo  code  to  quantitatively  evaluate  the  influence of crystal size and material on intercrystal scatter and parallax effects.   Materials and Methods:  For each of the 5 selected crystals (BGO, LSO, LYSO, LuAP, GSO), transport of  511  keV  photons  originating  from  a  point  source  and  incident  on  the  central  cry...

In the present study, nanocrystalline Ni50Al50-xMox (X = 0, 0.5, 1, 2.5, 5) intermetallic compound was produced through mechanical alloying of nickel, aluminum, and molybdenum powders. AlNi compounds with good and attractive properties such as high melting point, high strength to weight ratio and high corrosion resistance especially at high temperatures have attracted the attention of many rese...
