    Synthesis and characterization of new inorganic polymeric composites based on kaolin or white clay and on ground-granulated blast furnace slag

    Alkali activation of dehydroxylated kaolin or clay yielded high-strength polymeric materials, so-called geopolymers. They were synthesized by mixing the aluminosilicate with solutions of sodium metasilicate an...

    Two Peak Effect in GMR: A Chemical Effect?

    We show that the synthesis conditions have a dramatic influence on the resistivity behavior of calcium and sodium doped LaMnO3. Several samples prepared by lowtemperature techniques exhibit a double-peaked curve ...

    Directional solidification by appropriate chemically active single crystal seed: An alternative way of generating large superconducting 123 single domain

    A Dy2O3 single crystal has been used as a seed for the growth of isothermally melt-textured Dy-123 material. The nucleation-controlled step has been observed to be related to the heterogeneous nucleation of 211 p...

    Magnetic alignment in 2212 Bi-based superconducting system: Part I. Magnetic orientation of Bi2Sr2Ca1−x(RE)xCu2O8−y [(RE) = Gd, Dy, Ho, Er] powder dispersed in epoxy resin at room temperature

    The magnetic anisotropy of rare-earth substituted 2212 materials (Bi2Sr2Ca0.8RE0.2Cu2Ox with RE = Gd, Dy, Ho, Er) is put into evidence. Superconducting powder dispersed in epoxy resin is oriented under an externa...

    Magnetic alignment in 2212 Bi-based superconducting system: II. Bi2Sr2Ca1−xDyxCu2O8−yx = 0.2 glass recrystallized in 0.6 T magnetic field

    Starting from a glassy precursor, Bi2Sr2Ca1−xDyxCu2O8−y (for x = 0.2) was recrystallized under a 0.6 T magnetic field. After splat quenching, the samples were heated and sintered at different temperatures T1, the...
