In this paper, the influence of the extra solid phase reaction on the interface structure and mechanical properties of titanium carbonitride-based cermets were investigated. The extra solid phase reaction in the preparation process of cermets could induce the formation of a core/rim/binder interface with the coherent structure and reinforce the interface bonding strength in cermets. The existen...

XML document retrieval requires new ideas for user interface design. The query language provides primitives for dealing with the tree structure, which needs to be reflected in an interface for query formulation. Further, the XML structure is also reflected in the retrieval results, where items may contain each other. In this paper, we present a user interface for formulating queries in an XPath...

Interface modeling & extraction is a fundamental step in building a uniform query interface to a multitude of databases on the Web. Existing solutions are limited in that they assume interfaces are flat and thus ignore the inherent structure of interfaces, which then seriously hampers the effectiveness of interface integration. To address this limitation, in this chapter, we model an interface ...

We have performed detailed characterization of atomic-scale interface structure in InAs/Ga12xInxSb superlattices using cross-sectional scanning tunneling microscopy ~STM! and established a semiquantitative correlation between interface structure and transport properties in these structures. Quantitative analysis of STM images of both ~110! and (11̄0) cross-sectional planes of the superlattice in...

The p-i-n carbon nanotube (CNT) devices suffer from low ON/OFF current ratio and small saturation current. In this paper by band bending engineering, we improved the device performance of p-i-n CNT field effect transistors (CNTFET). A triple gate all around structure is proposed to manage the carrier transport along the channel. We called this structure multi-segment gate (MSG) CNTFET. Band to ...

joining of titanium alloys to other materials especially steels has attracted much attention in recent years due to the exceptional properties of titanium such as excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical properties and its increasing application in various industries. according to the fe-ti binary phase diagram, these two elements do not have complete solubility. this leads to difficulties...
