This article discusses neutron scattering measurements on the cuprate, high transition temperature superconductor La2-xSrxCuO4 (LSCO) in an applied magnetic field. LSCO is a type-II superconductor and magnetic flux can penetrate the material via the formation of vorticies. Phase coherent superconductivity characterized by zero resistance is suppressed to the lower field-dependent irreversibility temperature (T-irr(H)) and occurs when the vortices freeze into a lattice. Because superconductivity is destroyed

It is quite difficult to construct circuits of spiking neurons that can carry out complex computational tasks. On the other hand even randomly connected circuits of spiking neurons can in principle be used for complex computational tasks such as time-warp invariant speech recognition. This is possible because such circuits have an inherent tendency to integrate incoming information in such a way that simple linear readouts can be trained to transform the current circuit activity into the target output for a

A review is given on the current state of the art in piezoelectric micromachined ultrasonic transducers (pMUT). It is attempted to quantify the limits of pMUT's with respect to the electromechanical coupling, and to relate current achievements. Main needs for future research are identified in design, micromachining and further improvements of PZT films. Applications are shortly reviewed.

A Power-electronic interface for supercapacitive-storage based substation in DC-transportation networks is proposed, which allows to feed as a current-source in any voltage conditions of the line. The system has been designed as a compensation- substation to be placed at weak points like end-of-line stations, and can replace supplementary feeding substations. A dedicated power-electronic converter with associated control system is proposed, for the stabilization of the voltage level at the point of coupling

Within the EFDA technology program, CRPP designed and prepared a short length of full size Nb3Sn developmental conductor to be tested in the SULTAN test facility. Nb3Sn strand with a higher specification and low Cu:non-Cu ratio was supplied by Outokumpu. Half of the produced wire length has been Cr-plated half was left bare. Subsequently, two Ti-jacketed cable-in-conduit conductors based on a braid as the first stage, have been manufactured by VNIIKP. After reaction heat treatment, the annular space of the

A novel multi-cellular electronic circuit capable of evolution and development is described here. The circuit is composed of identical cells whose shape and location in the system is arbitrary. Cells all contain the complete genetic description of the final system, as in living organisms. Through a mechanism of development, cells connect to each other using a fully distributed hardware routing mechanism and differentiate by expressing a corresponding part of the genetic code thereby taking a specific functi

At frequencies below the electron cyclotron and above the lower hybrid frequency in a magnetoplasma, the refractive index is anisotropic and shows resonances at certain angles caused by electron inertia. For a radiating antenna in a plasma, the short wavelengths near this resonance angle may contribute to the radiation pattern of the antenna. A series of experiments is reported, in which waves were excited using a small 1-cm-diam electrostatically coupled antenna into a preformed plasma, densities (n(e)) fr

The internal electric field in multilayer organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) is investigated using a combination of experimental measurement and numerical device modeling. This approach results in a detailed understanding of the functioning of a multilayer OLED. The method is applied to a standard device structure that has received broad attention in literature. From the experimental part, we have demonstrated that the average electric field inside the hole transport layer is larger than or equal to the

MOLED solves the dynamics of electrons and holes in multilayer organic light emitting diodes (OLED). The carriers are injected on the positive and negative electrodes of the device by tunneling through a potential barrier. Thermal excitation processes across the barrier are also included. In the interior of the device the electron-hole recombination occurs when the two carriers are close enough, according to a model inspired from the one of Langevin. A fraction of these recombined pairs gives photons. The c

The nonlinear behavior of High Temperature Superconductors (HTS) is often modeled by an E-J power law in order to describe their electromagnetic properties. This paper presents AC loss calculations in HTS tapes, performed by means of FEM commercial software using the A-V method. The implemented nonlinear model of the HTS tapes takes into account the B-dependence of the critical current density Jc and the power index n. The expressions for Jc(B) and n(B) are obtained from electrical measurements of a Bi-2223

The oxidn. of benzoic acid has been performed on boron doped diamond electrodes supported on silicon substrate. The voltammetric behavior has shown that during the oxidn. of benzoic acid at 2.7V (RHE), a polymeric film is formed on the electrode surface that is oxidized at higher potential values. Bulk electrolysis of benzoic acid in HClO4, under galvanostatic conditions results in an instantaneous current efficiency(ICE) near 100% at low current densities and high benzoic acid concns. Electrolysis at high

Pyrochlore free 0.9Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O-3-0.1PbTiO(3) thin films were prepared from alkoxide-based solution precursors. Preferential (111) crystallographic orientation was obtained on TiO2/Pt/TiO2/SiO2/Si substrates by spin coating. Dielectric, electrostrictive, and piezoelectric properties of the films were characterized in detail. Films show relaxor-like behavior, but with dielectric permittivity which is low (around 4300 at peak and at 340 Hz with E-ac=1.6x10(6) V/m) compared to bulk ceramics and single cryst
