in this paper, scattering of a plane and monochromatic electromagnetic wave from a nano-wire is simulated using surface integral equations. first, integral equationsgoverning unknown fields on the surface is obtained based on stratton-cho surface integral equations. then, the interaction of the wave with a non-plasmonic as well as a palsmonic nano-wire is considered. it is shown that in scatter...

Despite having some useful properties, stainless steels suffer from lack of suitable surface hardness. In this research electroless Ni-B-Tl coating was used with the aim to increase their surface hardness. The effects of Nickel chloride, Sodium borohydride, Thallium nitrate and Ethylendiamin on the chemical composition of coating were studied. To achieve an increase in hardness, the effects of ...

Causes for deposition of defective galvanized coating (lumpy deposition of coating during hot dip galvanizing) of carbon-steel wire have been investigated. It is established that the lumpy deposition is caused due to segregation of silicon on the surface of steel wire. Due to this change in composition of the steel at surface, the regions get modified and lie in Sandelin hyper reactive zone. Th...

Abstract: The possibility of vanadium carbide coating formation on AISI L2 steel was studied in molten salt bath containing 33 wt% NaCl- 67 wt% CaCl2. In this research, the effects of time, temperature and bath composition on growing layer thickness were studied. The vanadium carbide coating treatment was performed in the NaCl-CaCl2 bath at 1173, 1273 and 1373 K temperatures for 3, 6, 9 hours a...

this paper provides an overview of how the surface properties of ferromagnetic nanoparticles dispersed in fluids is modified by natural and biocompatible polymers. among common magnetic nanoparticles, magnetite (fe3o4) and maghemite (g-fe203) are popular candidates because of their biocompatibility. natural polymeric coating materials are the most commonly used biocompatible magnetic nanopartic...
