Lamellar fluctuations melt ferroelectricity
(2023)
We consider a standard Ginzburg-Landau model of a ferroelectric whose electrical polarization
is coupled to gradients of elastic strain [1–4]. At the harmonic level, such flexoelectric interaction
is known to hybridize ...
Landau theory and giant room-temperature barocaloric effect
(2017-10-17)
The structural phase transitions of MF3 (M = Al, Cr, V, Fe, Ti, Sc) metal trifluorides are studied within a simple Landau theory consisting of tilts of rigid MF6 octahedra associated with soft antiferrodistortive optic ...
Converging science and literature cultures: learning physics via The Little Prince novella
(2018)
Primary level education follows a pedagogy model where literature and science have been historically separated. Natural children processes are disrupted, as learning based on play curiosity is completely transformed by a ...
Ozonesonde Quality Assurance: The JOSIE–SHADOZ (2017) Experience
(2019)
The ozonesonde is a small balloon-borne instrument that is attached to a standard radiosonde to measure profiles of ozone from the surface to 35 km with ∼100-m vertical resolution. Ozonesonde data constitute a mainstay of ...
Exact Solutions of a Chaplygin Gas in an Anisotropic Space-Time of Petrov D
(2017)
This document obtains two exact solutions to the anisotropic spacetime of Petrov D by using the model of a perfect fluid. These solutions represent a scenario of a universe in which the pressure P and the energetic density ...
Desarrollo de pruebas de control de calidad de manera remota en equipos de mamografía digital
Development of remotely quality control tests in digital mammography equipment
(2018)
Mediante la participación de Costa Rica en el proyecto del OIEA/CRP E1.30.39: Mejora de la capacidad
para la detección temprana y el diagnóstico del cáncer de mama a través de imágenes, como uno de sus objetivos; se
inician ...
Energy exchange between atoms with a quartz crystal μ-balance
(2018)
We propose an experimental method to fully characterize the energy exchange of particles during the
physical vapor deposition (PVD) process of thin surface layers. Our approach is based on the careful
observation of ...
Design and Characterization of a High Vacuum Metals Deposition System based on Electron Beam Evaporation
(2010-08-03)
We describe a high vacuum metals deposition system based ona variation of a pendant-drop type electron beam evaporator.This system uses a Molybdenum crucible as an evaporantinstead of a rod or wire usually used in ultrathin ...
Evolution of a group of coronal holes associated with eruption of nearby prominences and CMEs
(2014-01-06)
We present the results of detailed study of a set of activities developed on one of three enclosed sectors of solar region during the period of February 07-13, 2012. We found the sequence of certain topological perturbations ...
Cooperative elastic fluctuations provide tuning of the metal-insulator transition
(2019)
Metal-to-insulator transitions driven by strong electronic correlations occur frequently in condensed matter systems, and are associated with remarkable collective phenomena in solids, including superconductivity and ...
