Near-field imaging techniques, at terahertz frequencies (1–10 THz), conventionally rely on bulky laser sources and detectors. Here, we employ a semiconductor heterostructure as THz source and, simultaneously, phase-sensitive detector, exploiting optical feedback interferometry combined with scattering near-field nanoscopy. We analyze the amplitude phase sensitivity of proposed technique functio...

Abstract Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal carbides, nitrides, and carbonitrides, known as MXenes, are under increasing pressure to meet technological demands in high-temperature applications, MXenes can be considered one of the few ultra-high temperature 2D materials. Although there studies on stability their surface functionalities, is currently a gap fundamental understanding phase trans...

The friction coefficient of a specific material combination is often assumed to be invariant in manufacturing processes such as during the tightening threaded fastener joints. This paper considers impact storage conditions on friction. Fasteners were stored hot humid and sub-zero temperature study thread under-head contacts. Four Zn-flake coatings, commonly used automotive industry considered. ...

This study investigated the morphological and mineral features of nano zero-valent (nZVI)-induced iron precipitation on quartz particles. Lead was employed as artificial contaminant, while used to mimic inert solid particles in soil. The characterisation indicate that minerals precipitated heterogeneously surface with plush-like flake-like structures. They are made deuterogenic plumbiferous fer...

Four Holstein steers (137 ± 2 kg) with cannulas in the rumen and proximal duodenum were used in a 4 × 4 Latin square design to evaluate the influence of processing method on comparative digestion of white corn. Treatments consisted of a basal finishing diet containing 80% corn grain (DM basis) as 1) dry-rolled white corn (DRWC), 2) steam-flaked white corn (SFWC) with 0.36 kg/L flake density (SF...
