Abstract In this paper, we propose a specific two-layer model consisting of functionally graded (FG) layer and piezoelectric semiconductor (PS) layer. Based on the macroscopic theory PS materials, effects brought about by attached FG piezotronic behaviors homogeneous n-type fibers PN junctions are investigated. The semi-analytical solutions electromechanical fields obtained expanding displaceme...

Dislocations in compositionally graded virtual substrates and InAsSb epitaxial layers for long wavelength (8–12 μm) photodetectors have been investigated with high-resolution x-ray topography (XRT). By varying the imaging conditions, properties of substrate could be individually characterized. We observe formation misfit dislocations near interface predominantly along (110) direction less relax...

We describe the development of depth-graded W/Si multilayer films prepared by magnetron sputtering for use as broad-band reflective coatings for hard x-ray optics. We have used specular and nonspecular x-ray reflectance analysis to characterize the interface imperfections in both periodic and depth-graded W/Si multilayer structures, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy ~TEM! and...

Let $G$ be a monoid with identity $e$. In this paper, first we introduce the notions of $G$-graded hyperrings, graded hyperideals and graded hyperfields in the sense of Krasner hyperring $R$. Also, we define the notion of a greded $R$-hypermodules and some examples are presented. Then we investigate graded maximal, graded prime and graded primary hyperideals of a graded hyperring $R$. Finally, ...

We analyze active constrained layer damping (ACLD) of functionally graded (FG) shells under a thermal environment using vertically and obliquely reinforced 1–3 piezocomposites (PZCs) and investigate the performance of PZCs as materials for the constraining layer of the ACLD treatment. The shell’s deformations are analyzed by using a modified first-order shear deformation theory and the finite e...
