Recent studies of ceramics of formula Ba2LnFeNb4O15 (Ln = rare earth) with the “tetragonal tungsten bronze” (TTB) structure have correlated their room temperature multiferroics properties to the occurrence of barium ferrite parasitic phases. This work presents the elaboration of Ba2LaFeNb4O15 and Ba2EuFeNb4O15 composite samples with an excess of hematite in the TTB nominal composition. The infl...

Using reciprocity, we investigate the breaking of time-reversal (T) symmetry due to a ferrite embedded in a flat microwave billiard. Transmission spectra of isolated single resonances are not sensitive to T violation, whereas those of pairs of nearly degenerate resonances do depend on the direction of time. For their theoretical description a scattering matrix model from nuclear physics is used...

This paper represents a selected survey of incisive research on novel welding consumables which contribute to the structural integrity of advanced engineering structures. It is evident that there are tremendous advances to be made by applying the most sophisticated instrumentation available to Materials Science, together with theory and insight based on metallurgical experience. We congratulate...

Anechoic chambers which are used for emission and immunity testing require expensive ferrite tiles on their inner surfaces. This paper describes a method to reduce the number of required ferrite tiles, whilst ensuring a reliable and specified test region. In this method, the positions of some ferrite tiles are found optimally to keep the performance of the anechoic chamber as high as possible. ...

MnZn ferrite thin films were deposited on p-Si substrate and used as the dielectric layer in the graphene field effect transistor for infrared and terahertz device applications. The conditions for MnZn ferrite thin film deposition were optimized before device fabrication. The infrared properties and terahertz wave modulation were studied at different gate voltage. The resistive and magnetic MnZ...

The localized corrosion behavior of laser surface melted 304L austenitic stainless steel was studied by potentiodynamic polarization test. The extent of improvement in corrosion resistance was governed by the preferred orientation and the percentage of delta ferrite present on the surface of the laser melted sample. It was established by orientation imaging microscopy that the highest pitting p...

Nanocrystalline magnesium ferrite is synthesized by high-energy ball milling. The formation of nanocrystalline ferrite phase is observed after 3 h of milling and its content increases with milling time. The structural and microstructural evolution of the nanophase have been studied by X-ray powder diffraction and the Rietveld method. After 3 h of milling, ferrite phase (mixed spinel) nucleates ...

Article history: Received 29.05.2012. Received in revised form 27.07.2012 Accepted 03.09.2012. The influence of sub-temperature quenching temperature on the tensile strength, hardness and toughness of 60Si2Mn steel has been studied, and the ferrite content, austenite grain size and martensite morphology of the microstructure of this steel after sub-temperature quenching analyzed. The results sh...

Many aspects of the crystallographic texture which develops when austenite transforms into martensite or bainite are well established because the process by which the parent lattice is transformed into that of the product is mathematically defined. This is not the case when the ferrite forms by a reconstructive mechanism. The allotriomorphic ferrite nucleates heterogeneously at austenite grain ...

We perform extensive finite difference time domain simulations of ferrite based negative index of refraction composites. A wire grid is employed to provide negative permittivity. The ferrite and wire grid interact to provide both negative and positive index of refraction transmission peaks in the vicinity of the ferrite resonance. Notwithstanding the extreme anisotropy in the index of refractio...
