The polarized reflectance of the a-b plane of single-domain BizSrzCaCu208 crystals is anisotropic above and below T~. The normal-state infrared conductivity is higher for E l[ a whereas the high-frequency conductivity is higher along b, particularly for transitions associated with the B i O layers. Below Tc there is a definite anisotropy to the far-infrared absorption, with a finite absorption ...

This article describes a numerical study on the TOX-clinching process of the steel sheets. In addition, the influence of plastic anisotropy of the material on joining parameters is analyzed by evolution of the joint parameters such as undercut and neck thickness and punch force-displacement curve. Finite element analysis with ABAQUS/CAE-Explicit program is used to simulate two dimensional and t...

Strain-engineering of materials encompasses significant elastic deformation and leads to breaking the lattice symmetry as a consequence emergence optical anisotropy. However, capability image map local strain fields by microscopy is currently limited specific materials. Here, broadband scanning reflectance anisotropy microscope phase-sensitive multi-material platform for mapping introduced. The...

Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy and diffusion tensor imaging are non-invasive techniques used to detect metabolites and water diffusion in vivo. Previous studies have confirmed a positive correlation of individual fractional anisotropy values with N-acetylaspartate/creatine and N-acetylaspartate/choline ratios in tumors, edema, and normal white matter. This study divided the brain parenc...

Six-dimensional quantum dynamical calculations of the scattering of H2 from a Pd (100) surface using a potential energy surface derived from density-functional theory calculations are presented. Due to the corrugation and anisotropy of the PES strong off-specular and rotationally inelastic diffraction is found. The dependence of the diffraction intensitities on the incident kinetic energy is cl...
