A single phased Y-type hexagonal ferrite Sr2Co1.7Mg0.3Fe11.2Sn0.4Zn0.4O22 was synthesized by the sol–gel auto combustion method. Structural and magnetic properties of this composition of Y-type hexagonal ferrite have been investigated. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns confirm single phase Y-type hexagonal ferrite and various parameters such as lattice constants and cell volume have been cal...

The antiferroelectric liquid crystal (AFLC) under investigation possesses different helical polar phases. Measurements of pyroelectric response of these phases as a function of temperature and bias field have elucidated the ability of this method for investigating the nature of antiferroelectric phases and phase transitions under the bias field. The pyroelectric signal as a function of the bias...

We study the mechanism of vacancy migration and phase transitions of 3D crystalline colloidal arrays (CCA) using Langevin dynamics simulations. We calculate the self-diffusion coefficient of the colloid particles and the diffusion constant for vacancies as a function of temperature and DLVO potential parameters. We investigate the phase behavior of several systems with different interaction pot...

A companion analysis of clock jitter and phase noise of single-ended and differential ring oscillators is presented. The impulse sensitivity functions are used to derive expressions for the jitter and phase noise of ring oscillators. The effect of the number of stages, power dissipation, frequency of oscillation, and shortchannel effects on the jitter and phase noise of ring oscillators is anal...

A single stage single switch AC/DC converter is an integration of input current shaper and a DC/DC cell with a shared controller and one active switch. The converter is applicable for digital input power supply with high input power factor and tight output voltage regulation. The focus of the topology is to reduce the DC bus voltage at light load without compromising with input power factor and...

The phase behavior of the lattice restricted primitive model (RPM) for ionic systems with additional short-range nearest neighbor (NN) repulsive interactions has been studied by grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations. We obtain a rich phase behavior as the NN strength is varied. In particular, the phase diagram is very similar to that of the continuum RPM for high NN strength. Specifically, we...

We agree with Duckrow and Albano [Phys. Rev. E 67, 063901 (2003)] and Quian Quiroga [Phys. Rev. E 67, 063902 (2003)] that mutual information (MI) is a useful measure of dependence for electroencephalogram (EEG) data, but we show that the improvement seen in the performance of MI on extracting dependence trends from EEG is more dependent on the type of MI estimator rather than any embedding tech...

the performances of two-phase polymer-liquid pebax®/polyethylene glycol (peg) and three-phase polymer-liquid-solid pebax®/peg/mwnt thin film composite membranes for co2 and ch4 permeation were studied. the effect of temperature and mwnt/pebax® ratio on single gas (co2 and ch4) permeability was investigated. the permeation of both gases was measured at different temperatures from 303 to 323 ˚k. ...

Liquid crystalline networks (LCNs) are a class of polymers, which are able to produce mechanical actuation in response to external stimuli. Recent creation of LCNs with exchangeable links (xLCNs) makes LCNs easy moldable. As the xLCNs need to be shaped at a high temperature, it is important to enhance their thermal and mechanical properties. In this paper, a series of xLCNs/SiO₂ composites cont...
