We use neutron powder diffraction to investigate the magnetic and crystalline structure of Cr$_2$GaN. A phase transition is identified at $T \approx 170$ K, whereas no trace structural observed down 6 K. Combining Rietveld refinement with irreducible representations, spin configuration Cr ions in Cr$_2$GaN depicted as an incommensurate sinusoidal modulated characterized by a propagating vector ...

Exact solutions are derived for three-dimensional, anisotropic, linearly magneto-electroelastic, simply-supported, and multilayered rectangular plates under static loadings. While the homogeneous solutions are obtained in terms of a new and simple formalism that resemble the Stroh formalism, solutions for multilayered plates are expressed in terms of the propagator matrix. The present solutions...

Many proofs of concept studies have established the mechanical sensitivity of functionalized microcantilevers to a large spectrum of target molecules. However, moving to real-life applications also requires the monitored mechanical effect to be highly specific. Moving towards more specificity in cantilever-based sensing, monitoring the mechanical response of electrochemically actuated microcant...

In this paper we have studied the effect of magneto-static field onpropagation of thermal wave generated in metal by pulsed laser. In fact this interactiongenerate acoustic wave in different mechanisms. However, always the commonmechanism in the interactions of laser pulse and metal is the thermo-elastic wavegeneration. Applying the suitable magneto-static field on the s...
