We describe an experimental platform that generates infrared images of micrometer-sized samples in the high pressure region a diamond anvil cell. Using 2.3 μm laser as source radiation, system will be particularly useful identifying hydride superconductors, which exhibit anomalous temperature dependence reflectivity region. Our shows intensity stability within 1% when sample is swept from 100 t...

Synchrotron x-ray imaging and stress measurements of diamond-anvil cell gaskets revealed large elastic strains at the diamond tip at a pressure of 300 gigapascals. The diamond, generally considered a rigid body, bent 16 degrees over a distance of 300 micrometers without failure. To complement these measurements, a technique was developed that permits x-ray diffraction to be measured through a b...

The carbon nanorods (CNR’s) were synthesized using flame reactor with diffusion burner. The growth of carbon nanorods in presence and absence of catalyst has been studied. The role of ferrocene as catalyst in the synthesis of carbon nanorods was investigated using a Flame Reactor at different oxygen to fuel ratios. The fuel used over here is acetylene. The fuel i.e., acetylene to oxygen ratio i...

Growing demands on gas turbines, meaning lower consumption and higher efficiency, is accompanied by temperatures inside the turbine. Better lifetime prediction concepts for thermomechanical fatigue (TMF) loading of turbine components are needed to ensure safe operation. The influence TMF history—either in-phase (IP) or out-of-phase (OP)—on crack initiation short growth studied cast nickel-based...

Single crystalline tellurium nanowires were successfully synthesized in large scale by a facile approach of vaporizing tellurium metal and condensing the vapor in an inert atmosphere onto a Si substrate. Tellurium was evaporated by heating at 300 degrees C at 1 torr and condensed on the Si substrate at 100-150 degrees C, in the downstream of argon (Ar) gas at a flow rate of 25 sccm for 30 min. ...

We report here on the manufacturing methods for emulsifier-free (EF-) oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions, in which oil and water were mechanically mixed absence of any emulsifiers such as surfactants. A commercially available bath-type ultrasonic cleaner (Bath-US; 42 kHz, 26 W) did not disperse dodecane (DD) completely even by treatment 15 min, average diameter DD droplets EF-dodecane-in-water (DD/W)...

Spectrophotometric observations of the jovian satellite Io on 20 and 21 February 1978 (Universal Time) were made from 1.2 to 5.4 micrometers. Io's brightness at 4.7 to 5.4 micrometers was found to be three to five times greater at an orbital phase angle of 68 degrees than at orbital phase angles of 23 degrees (5.5 hours before the brightening) and 240 degrees (20 hours after the brightening). S...

Red blood cell (RBC) deformation is a dominant factor in the rheological properties of blood in vessels smaller than 300 micrometers. A reduction in cell deformability is associated with health conditions such as malaria and diabetes. The extensional flow within a microfluidic cross-slot microchannel has been proposed as a mechanism for measuring the deformation of cells. Three-dimensional simu...
