Enhanced field induced martensitic phase transition and magnetocaloric effect in Ni55Mn20Ga25 metallic foams

Thehigh surface/volumeratio andmechanical stabilityunder cyclic strainmakespolycrystallineNieMneGa metallic foams attractive for magnetic refrigeration. By means of comparison with a polycrystalline bulk material, we have demonstrated that the porous structure of Ni54.8Mn20.2Ga25.0 open-cells metallic foams (porosity varying between44% and58%) reduces the temperature spanof the phase transition...

Scattering Phase Shifts in a Chiral Constituent Quark Model

We study the nucleon-nucleon interaction within a chiral constituent quark model which reproduces succesfully the baryon spectra. We calculate the 3 S 1 and 1 S 0 phase shifts by using the resonating group method. They clearly indicate the presence of a strong repulsive interaction at short distance, due to the spin-flavor symmetry of the quark-quark interaction and of the quark interchange bet...

Optical properties of coupled metallic nanorods for field-enhanced spectroscopy

The optical properties of coupled metallic nanorods are studied to investigate the use of coupled plasmonic structures in field-enhanced spectroscopies. Light scattering by coupled nanorods is calculated with the boundary element method, including retardation. The modes of coupled nanorod systems are calculated by the boundary charge method and discussed in terms of their symmetry. Similar scat...
