Abstract The propagation of surface-plasmon-polariton (SPP) waves at the planar interface a metal and dielectric material was investigated for with strongly temperature-dependent constitutive properties. silver vanadium multioxide impregnated combination active dyes. Depending upon volume fraction multioxide, either attenuation or amplification SPP may be achieved; degree is dependent on both t...

Hematite (α-Fe2O3) nanoparticle was synthesized using organometallic compound - ferrocene carboxaldehyde through solventless solid state thermal decomposition technique. The crystal structure, magnetic and morphological properties of the decomposed material were studied using powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometry, ...

The present paper aims to study the effect of initial stress on the 2–D problem of a homogeneous, isotropic, generalized thermo-viscoelastic material with voids in the context of Green–Naghdi theory. The modulus of elasticity is taken as a linear function of reference temperature. The analytical expressions for the physical quantities are obtained in the physical domain by using the normal mode...

The metal-insulator transition is characterized as a single peak in the temperature-dependent resistivity measurements; exceptions to this have never been seen in any single crystal material system. We show that by reducing a single crystal manganite thin film to a wire with a width comparable to the mesoscopic phase-separated domains inherent in the material, a second and robust metal-insulato...

The optimum choice of filament material is very application dependent, and interactions of the gas with the cathode material must be carefully considered. Filaments, in both wire and ribbon shapes, are required to (1) supply a stable electron emission current with reasonable energy input and filament temperature, (2) have reduced chemical reactivity with the rarefied environment being measured,...
