Effect of electric fields on the synthesis of nanoparticles of tin and silicon in a liquid environment
(2015-07-28)The effect of externally applied electric fields on the size and morphology of nanoparticles fabricated by laser ablation was investigated. In this method, a pulsed laser beam was focused onto a solid target of either ... -
Effects of pressure and temperature on the yield strength of tantalum and rhenium
(2013)The effects of pressure and temperature on the yield strength of tantalum and the effects of pressure on the yield strength of rhenium were investigated using ruby fluorescence. A new Raman system with a motorized stage ... -
Laser ablation in liquid of Germanium in externally applied electric fields
(2013)Laser ablation in liquids has been proven to be an effective path to synthesize nanomaterials.1 Laser ablation in liquids provides unique advantages since materials are fabricated under nonequilibrium, high-pressure, ... -
Pressure-induced phase transitions in select molybdates and tungstates
(2013)Mao-Bell and symmetric diamond anvil cells were used to study the effect of high-pressure on a series of tungstate and molybdate compounds. The experimental techniques of powder x-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy ... -
The yield strength of molybdenum under pressure and temperature
(2015-06-02)Knowledge of the elastic properties of materials under high pressures and temperatures is important in planetary science as well as giving a more comprehensive understanding of material properties in general. Molybdenum ...
