The zirconia stabilized by 3mol % Y2O3 (3YSZ) was applied onto the surface of the magnesium alloy AZ91D using electrophoretic deposition (EPD) from a non- aqueous solution. A Ni-P interlayer between the substrate and YSZ coating was also prepared by electroless plating. Finally, coatings were heat treated in control atmosphere at 400 °C. The preparation, microstructure and corrosion resistance ...

We present a new technique for choosing spatial regions for X-ray spectroscopy, called " contour binning ". The method chooses regions by following contours on a smoothed image of the object. In addition we re-explore a simple method for adaptively smoothing X-ray images according to the local count rate, we term " accumulative smoothing " , which is a generalisation of the method used by FADAP...

Mean-field theory predicts that bilayer quantum Hall systems at odd integer total filling factors can have stripe ground states, in which the top Landau level is occupied alternately by electrons in one of the two layers. We report on an analysis of the properties of these states based on a coupled-Luttinger-liquid description that is able to account for quantum fluctuations of charge-density a...

Bilayer quantum Hall systems have a broken symmetry ground state at a filling factor which can be viewed either as an excitonic superfluid or as a pseudospin ferromagnet. We present a theory of interlayer transport in quantum Hall bilayers that highlights remarkable similarities and critical differences between transport in Josephson junction and ferromagnetic metal spin-transfer devices. Our t...

A ferrierite-type layered aluminosilicate, Al-RUB-36, was prepared for the first time and its interlayer expansion resulted in new zeolite catalysts denoted Al-COE-3 and Al-COE-4. Decane hydroconversion tests demonstrated the highly active and shape-selective nature of the new Al-COE-4 catalyst with an unprecedented isomerization yield, highlighting the potential of this material as a hydroisom...

Strongly interacting systems have been conjectured to spontaneously develop current carrying ground states under certain conditions. We demonstrate the existence of a commensurate staggered interlayer current phase in a bilayer model by using the recently discovered quantum Monte Carlo algorithm without the sign problem for fermionic systems. A pseudospin SUs2d algebra and the corresponding ani...

We report on the experimental results of interlayer magnetoresistance in the multilayer massless Dirac fermion system alpha-(BEDT-TTF)2I3 under hydrostatic pressure and its interpretation. We succeeded in detecting the zero-mode Landau level (n=0 Landau level) that is expected to appear at the contact points of Dirac cones in the magnetic field normal to the two-dimensional plane. The character...

Abstract With the rapid development of underwater space construction, theoretical research is at initial stage. At present, methods mainly include mirror image method and conformal transformation method. almost all objects in analytical are homogeneous soil layers. However, practical engineering, layers often distributed In this study, seepage field layered analyzed, derivation heterogeneous me...
