Recrystallization in copper deformed by dynamic plastic deformation was investigated using electron backscatter diffraction. The recrystallized grains show a broad size distribution. The kinetics of grains of different sizes is observed to be different: In the beginning of recrystallization, the area fraction of small recrystallized grains increases rapidly. At later stages of recrystallization...

Soft magnetic properties of Fe-Co-Ni-Al-Cr-Si thin films were studied. As-deposited Fe-Co-Ni-Al-Cr-Si nano-grained thin films showing no magnetic anisotropy were subjected to field-annealing at different temperatures to induce magnetic anisotropy. Optimized magnetic and electrical properties of Fe-Co-Ni-Al-Cr-Si films annealed at 200 ◦C are saturation magnetization 9.13 × 105 A/m, coercivity 79...

We consider the automatic generation of parallel templates as basis for the implementation of n 2-problem solvers on parallel systems. The automatic template generator relies on the embedding of a virtual systolic loop on the given machine's network and optimizes hyper-systolic data communication by means of Simulated Annealing techniques. We have generated a parallel template to eeciently prog...
