A number of recent publications on small photon beam dosimetry aim at contributing to the understanding of the response of solid-state detectors in small fields. Some of them assign the difference in response to the mass density, or to the electron density, of the sensitive detector material relative to that of water. This work analyses the role of the mass and electron density ([Formula: see t...

The electronic structure and magnetic properties of hexagonal Sc3In are calculated within density functional theory. We find that the Fermi energy lies in a region of flat Sc d derived bands leading to a peak in the density of states and Stoner ferromagnetism. The calculated local spin density and generalized gradient approximation spin magnetizations are both enhanced with respect to experimen...

Parallel to the development of new lead-free solders, electronic packaging has gone through a considerable evolution. A redistribution layers allows increase functionality by increasing number inputs/outputsin packagewhile reducing size. The reliability package is strongly influenced interconnects. During production and service life, there are thermal processes involved that may lead fatigue. I...

The light weight of magnesium alloys makes them a promising material in different potential industries, such as aerospace and automobile. In addition, are attractive materials for biomedical applications due to their biocompatibility with the human body. these structural parts require an understanding fatigue behavior because they usually subjected time-varying loading. Furthermore, notches ine...
