Abstract Residual stresses in thermal oxide layer may be significant and can influence the lifetime of systems high temperature environments. It is thus relevant to determine locally stress strain mechanisms especially mechanical relation between metallic substrate. To achieve such a goal, an innovative approach proposed by use micro/nano-gratings. Monitoring experimentally gauges displacement ...

Single crystal of Thallium doped cesium Iodide –Scintillator crystal was grown using vertical Bridgeman technique. The grown crystal was included for cutting and polishing for the characterization purpose and this crystal was studied by optical transmission properties, photo luminescence and thermally luminescence characteristics. Gamma-ray detectors were fabricated using the grown crystal that...

1. INTRODUCTION Drosophila bHLH-PAS proteins play important roles in development and physiology. They can be divided into three groups: (i) Tgo and its bHLH-PAS dimerization partners, (ii) circadian rhythms, and (iii) hormone function. The Tgo dimerization group carries-out many developmental roles, and includes: Dysfusion (Dys), Similar (Sima), Single-minded (Sim), Spineless (Ss), and Tracheal...

Phase transitions exhibited by correlated oxides could be of potential relevance to the emerging field of oxide electronics. We report on the synthesis of high-quality VO2 thin films grown on single crystal Ge 100 substrates by physical vapor deposition and their metal-insulator transition MIT properties. Thermally triggered MIT is demonstrated with nearly three orders of magnitude resistance c...
