An acoustic emission study of the effect of a magnetic field on the martensitic transition in Ni2MnGa
Acoustic emission measurements during the martensitic transition of a Ni–Mn–Ga magnetic shape-memory alloy reveal the intermittent and jerky character of the transition. The distribution o...

On the anisotropic shear resistance of hard transition metal nitrides TMN (TM=Ti,  Zr,  Hf)
The anisotropic shear moduli and strengths of hard fcc-TMN (TM=Ti,  Zr,  Hf) have been calculated by ab initio density functional theory in order to better understand their shear r...

A pulsed metal-organic chemical vapor deposition technique is developed for the growth of high-quality AlN/GaN superlattices (SLs) with intersubband (ISB) transitions at optical communications wavelengths. Tunability of the AlN and GaN layers is demonstrated. Indium is shown to improve SL surface and structural quality. Capping thickness is shown to be crucial for ISB transition characteristics. Effects of barrier- and well-doping on the ISB absorption are reported. ©2009 American Institute of Physics
