2014 Measurements have been made of the natural radiative lifetimes of highly excited rubidium (9 ~ n ~ 18) S and D states. These results, as well as those already published concerning P and F states, agree well with the theoretical lifetimes calculated by the Bates-Damgaard method. J.

This work investigated the microstructure and elevated-temperature (400-475C) tensile and tensile-creep deformation behavior of a powder metallurgy (PM) rolled Ti-6Al-4V-1B(wt.%) alloy. The PM rolled Ti-6Al-4V-1B alloy exhibited a duplex microstructure, and it did not exhibit a strong α-phase texture compared with the PM extruded Ti-6Al-4V-1B alloy. The PM rolled Ti6Al-4V-1B alloy exhibited gre...

Materials and Methods: The study evaluated 10 samples each of fresh alloy, recast alloy with addition of 50% of wt. of new alloy and recast alloy without addition of new alloy. Samples were subjected to computerized Universal Testing Machine and mechanical properties viz. tensile strength, yield strength, percentage of elongation, modulus of elasticity and microhardness was tabulated. Data was ...

A novel hydrothermal layer-by-layer processing method for the fabrication of core/alloy nanoparticles with highly tunable surface plasmon resonance is described. For a model system of Au/Au(x)Ag(1-x), the processing temperature, alloy composition, and alloy thickness resulted in unique and tailorable plasmonic signatures. The discrete dipole approximation and selective alloy etching were used t...
