Molybdenum thin films with 50 and 150 nm thicknesses were deposited on silicon substrates, using DC magnetron sputtering system, then post-annealed at different temperatures (200, 325, 450, 575 and 700°C) with flow oxygen at 200 sccm (standard Cubic centimeter per minute). The crystallographic structure of the films was obtained by means of x-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. An atomic force micr...

A network model that investigates electrical resistivity and capillary pressure curves of oil/water/rock systems for a full̄ooded cycle (primary drainage, imbibition and secondary drainage) is presented. This model uses a realistic pore geometry in the form of a grain boundary pore (GBP) shape and pore constrictions. The model also incorporates pore-scale displacement mechanisms and pore-scale w...

In this study we report on the sintering behavior, microstructure and electrical properties of Al-doped ZnO ceramics containing 0-0.2 wt. % graphene sheets (AZO-GNSs) and processed using spark plasma sintering (SPS). Our results show that the addition of <0.25 wt. % GNSs enhances both the relative density and the electrical resistivity of AZO ceramics. In terms of the microstructure, the GNSs a...

Article history: Received 10 February 2016 Received in revised form 22 May 2016 Accepted 8 June 2016 Available online xxxx The relationships betweenmicrostructure, controlled by alloying elements prone to grain boundary segregation, and electrical resistivity in sputtered nanocrystalline Cu were investigated. We find a non-monotonic dependence of themean grain size on solute concentration for b...

polymer-graphite powder composite behaves as a low-conductive material which can be used as an automatic fuse for adhesive connector in electrical circuits. the conductivity of this composite, below its transition temperature, tt, depends on concentration of carbon powder, slowly decreases as the temperature increases. meanwhile, the electrical resistivity of this material in transition tempera...

Of the several thermal, mechanical and hydrological measurements being used to monitor the rockmass response in the Single Heater Test, electrical resistance tomography (ERT) is being used to monitor the movement of liquid water with a special interest in the movement of condensate out of the system. Images of resistivity change were calculated using data collected before, during and after the ...

We present a new method for deforming an object in a static real scene, which interacts with animated synthetic characters. Unlike the existing method making a new synthetic object to substitute for the interacting object in the real scene, we directly deform the object in image space using an image-warping technique with assistance from a simplified 3D sub-model. The deformed image sequence is...

Cross sections at low energies for vibrationally elastic and inelastic scattering, as well as electron attachment to SF6, have been calculated using a multichannel effective range theory ERT with complex boundary conditions. The most active vibrational modes, the totally symmetric mode 1 and the infrared active mode 3, have been included in the calculation. The ERT parameters were fitted to rep...
