An algebraic Hamiltonian, which in a limit can be reduced to an extended local mode model by Law and Duncan,is proposed to describe both stretching and bending
One component hard-sphere fluid confined in two planar hard walls is studied by means of density functional theory with Rosenfeld functional and molecular dynam
We investigate the martensitic transition of melt-spun Ni-Mn-Ga ribbons, during which an abrupt release of inteal stress occurs. The release results in the appe
High quality colloidal photonic crystals made from polystyrene spheres with diameter 240nm are fabricated by the vertical deposition method. The scanning electr
A preliminary experiment of sound velocity measurements for porous iron with initial average density of 6.275 g/cm3 has been performed at pressures below 100 GP
