Effect of Elevated Temperatures on the Compressive Strength and Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity of Self Compacting Concrete

Journal of Engineering and Sustainable Development, 2009
In this study, the effect of elevated temperature on the compressive strength of self-compacting concrete is investigated. Two different tests, one of them is the nondestructive test which is the ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) test and the other is the

Ambient‐Stable Transparent P‐Type CuI Transistors Via Room‐Temperature Pulsed Laser Deposition

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
An in situ PLD fabricated AlOx${\rm AlO}_x$/CuI/AlOx${\rm AlO}_x$ sandwich structure enables stable CuI TFTs with a field‐effect mobility of 2.3 ±$\pm$ 0.7 cm2${\rm cm}^{2}$ V−1${\rm V}^{-1}$ s−1${\rm s}^{-1}$ and excellent ambient stability. Complementary inverters based on CuI:Rb and ZnO:Al exhibit rail‐to‐rail voltage transfer characteristics and an
