Electronic structure of K 2Bi 8Se 13
(2005)
K 2Bi 8Se 13 belongs to a class of complex chalcogenides that shows potential for superior thermoelectric performance. This compound forms in two distinct phases, α and β. The β phase, which has several sites with mixed ...
Structural modification. Part 1: Rotational receptances
(2005)
The inverse problem of assigning natural frequencies and antiresonances by a modification to the stiffness, mass and damping of a structure is addressed. Very simple modifications such as the addition of masses and grounded ...
Possible use of the half-Hausler alloy NiMnSb in spintronics: Synthesis and physical properties of arc melted NiMnSb and of NiMnSb thin films grown on InSb by pulsed laser deposition
(2005)
We report the growth of single-phase, stoichiometric polycrystalline thin films of the half-Heusler ferromagnet NiMnSb, predicted to be half-metallic, on single crystal (100) InSb substrates heated at 200 °C by pulsed laser ...
Indium oxide as a possible tunnel barrier in spintronic devices
(2005)
We report the growth of ultra-thin indium oxide layers using the dc-magnetron sputtering method. We demonstrate that good quality tunnel barriers made of indium oxide can be routinely fabricated and employed in spintronic-related ...
Implementing the milliken moment method using controlled dynamic simulation
(2005)
The Milliken Moment Method (MMM) can be used to quantify the constraints imposed on vehicle stability and controllability by front and rear tire traction limitations. The main aspect of the Milliken Moment Method is the ...
Application of a New Algebraic Structure-Based Model to Rotating Turbulent Flows
(Elsevier, 2005)
This chapter discusses application of a new algebraic structure-based model to rotating turbulent flows. A primary goal of Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS-based modeling is to determine the Reynolds stress tensor in ...

Characterisation and tribological evaluation of nitrogen-containing molybdenum-copper PVD metallic nanocomposite films
(2005)
This paper reports on the structural, mechanical and tribological properties of molybdenum-copper nanocomposite films 'doped' with small amounts of nitrogen, which contain either no nitride phase (i.e. the nitrogen is held ...
Strong paramagnetism and possible ferromagnetism in pure carbon nanofoam produced by laser ablation
(2005)
We report the production of a hierarchically nanostructured magnetic carbon foam by high-repetition-rate laser ablation of glassy carbon in Ar. The clusters contain both sp2 and sp3 bonded carbon atoms. The material contains ...
Vehicle model robustness: A case study of the FMTV military truck model
(2005)
Vital to the effectiveness of simulation-based design is having a model of known quality of the system being designed. The purpose of this paper is to validate a simplified dynamic model of an FMTV (Family of Medium Tactical ...
