Microwave properties of highly oriented YBa2Cu3O7-δ superconducting thin films
We have performed millimeter-wave frequency (94 GHz) measurements on high-quality YBa2Cu3O7-δ superconducting films on yttrium-stabilized (100) ZrO2 and MgO substrates. The ∼0.2μm thin films fabricated by magnetr...

Study on structure-property relationship of polyimide blends
Three pairs of polyimide/polyimide blends (50/50 wt%) with different molecular structures were prepared by two ways, i.e. mixing of the polyamic acid precursors with subsequent imidization, and direct solution...

Metastable Phase Formation in the Y-TI System by Ion Mixing
Amorphization behavior was studied for the Y-Ti system, which has rather positive heat of formation being around + 22 kJ/mol, by room temperature 360 keV xenon ion mixing of YxTi100-xmultilayered films to various...

Irradiation Effect of Slow Neutrons on Mechanical Behaviour Related to Flux Pinning In YBa2Cu3Oy
Internal friction and modulus in YBa2Cu3Oy, which are related to flux pinning, were examined by means of the vibrating reed technique before and after the slow neutron irradiation to different fluences. Both the ...

Theory of hydrogen-assisted crack growth
A model for hydrogen-induced cracking is proposed and developed on the assumption that hydrogen enters the embrittling process zone (EPZ) ahead of the crack-tip and promotes localized plastic flow which is pro...

Transition elements matching the near crack-tip strain field
New transition elements used with the collapsed triangular singular elements are constructed by using the improved isoparametric transformations. Without 1/r singular terms, the new transition elements' strain fi...
