Mechanical Properties of the Functionally Graded Lining for a Deep Buried Subway Tunnel

Applied Sciences, 2022
With the rapid development of the subway rail transit, tunnels are buried at an increasing depth, raising the requirements of bearing capacity and waterproofness for linings. Functionally graded materials are introduced into the design of linings to save costs, and concrete with different elastic moduli is equipped at different positions to reduce the ...

Spin‐Split Edge States in Metal‐Supported Graphene Nanoislands Obtained by CVD

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Combining STM measurements and ab‐initio calculations, we show that zig‐zag edges in graphene nanoislands grown on Ni(111) by CVD retrieve their spin‐polarized edge states after intercalation of a few monolayers of Au. ABSTRACT Spin‐split states localized on zigzag edges have been predicted for different free‐standing graphene nanostructures.

Asymmetry of the Ferroelectric Phase Transition in BaTiO3

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Phase transitions are typically assumed to behave identically in forward and reverse. This work shows that in the ferroelectric material barium titanate this is not true: heating drives an abrupt, first‐order jump, while cooling gives a smooth, continuous change.

Gapless Superconductivity From Extremely Dilute Magnetic Disorder in 2H‐NbSe2‐xSx

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
We demonstrate that 2H‐NbSe2‐xSx hosts gapless superconductivity at unexpectedly low magnetic impurity concentrations. Combining STM, Bogoliubovde Gennes simulations, DFT, and quasiparticle interference, we comprehensively study the development of gapless behavior and show that SeS substitution reshapes the band structure, enhances nesting, and drives ...

Influence of seismic events on shallow geotechnical structures [PDF]

, 2017
This paper deals with a summary of possible seismic loading of shallow geotechnical structures. It is known that seismic loading influences the underground structures much less than the structures on the surface, therefore, it is not usually taken into ...

Polarization-Engineering in III-V Nitride Heterostructures: New Opportunities For Device Design [PDF]

, 2010
The role of spontaneous and piezoelectric polarization in III-V nitride heterostructure devices is discussed. Problems as well as opportunities in incorporating polarization in abrupt and graded heterojunctions composed of binary, ternary, and quaternary
