Thermal and Thermodynamic Stability of Nanomaterials


Free Download Suresh Chandra Parida, "Thermal and Thermodynamic Stability of Nanomaterials "
English | ISBN: 0878492577 | 2010 | 152 pages | PDF | 24 MB
Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters BCI (WoS).The study of nanomaterials is an active area of 21st-century research in physics, chemistry and materials engineering as well as biomedical engineering. Nanomaterials which are defined as substances that are in the form of spherical dot, rod, thin plate or voids of any irregular shape, but smaller than 100nm, find wide application in materials science and technology due to their very distinctive properties as compared with their bulk counterpart.

Fatigue under Thermal and Mechanical Loading Mechanisms, Mechanics and Modelling Proceedings of the Symposium held at Petten,


Free Download Fatigue under Thermal and Mechanical Loading: Mechanisms, Mechanics and Modelling: Proceedings of the Symposium held at Petten, The Netherlands, 22-24 May 1995 By H.-J. Christ, H. Mughrabi, S. Kraft, F. Petry, R. Zauter, K. Eckert (auth.), J. Bressers, L. Rémy, M. Steen, J. L. Vallés (eds.)

The International Symposium "Fatigue under Thermal and Mechanical Loading", held at Petten (The Netherlands) on May 22-24, 1995, was jointly organized by the Institute for Advanced Materials of The Joint Research Centre, E. C. , and by the Societe Fran~se de Metallurgie et de Materiaux. The fast heating and cooling cycles experienced by many high temperature components cause thermally induced stresses, which often operate in combination with mechanical loads. The resulting thermal / mechanical fatigue cycle leads to material degradation mechanisms and failure modes typical of service cycles. The growing awareness that the synergism between the combined thermal and mechanical loads can not be reproduced by means of isothermal tests, has resulted in an increasing interest in thermal and thermo-mechanical fatigue testing. This trend has been reinforced by the constant pull by industry for more performant, yet safer high temperature systems, pushing the materials to the limit of their properties. Dedicated ASTM meetings in particular have set the scene for this area of research. The proceedings of the symposium organized by D. A. Spera and D. F. Mowbray in 1975 provided a reference book on thermal fatigue which reflects the knowledge and experimental capabilities of the mid-seventies.

Quantized Heat Flow as a Probe of Thermal Equilibration and Edge Structures of Quantum Hall Phases in Graphene


Free Download Quantized Heat Flow as a Probe of Thermal Equilibration and Edge Structures of Quantum Hall Phases in Graphene
English | 2024 | ISBN: 3031670507 | 353 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 66 MB
This book describes the quantized thermal conductance measurements of integer and several fractional quantum Hall (QH) states realized in graphene devices. Although the electrical conductance quantization of the QH effect in graphene was demonstrated in 2005, a heat flow study of QH states needed to be included. This becomes particularly essential for the hole-conjugate fractional QH phases, where counterpropagating edge modes lead to complex transport behavior. The experimental results reported in this thesis are the first set of experiments done for the quantized heat flow in graphene devices since the first mechanical isolation of graphene flakes. The book devotes two detailed introductory chapters to the electronic properties of the graphene and its bilayer and trilayer parts at zero magnetic fields, and to the essential physics of the integer and fractional quantum Hall (FQH) states, the topological order of FQH phases and the experiments that can detect them.
