Investigation of mechanically activated field-activated pressure-assisted synthesis processing parameters for producing dense nanostructured FeAl
2003
The parameters of the mechanically activated field-activated pressure-assisted synthesis (MAFAPAS) process, which were recently developed and patented for producing dense nanostructured materials, were studied in the case of the B2-FeAl intermetallic. Based on x-ray diffraction (XRD) experiments, residual stresses XRD analysis, relative density measurement, and secondary-electron microscopic observations, the optimal synthesis conditions (time, current intensity, and pressure) were studied. Fe + Al powders were comilled in a specially designed planetary mill to obtain a mixture of reactants at the nanoscale without the formation of any product. The milled mixtures were then subjected to a h…
Soret Effect In Forced Rayleigh-scattering
1987
In forced Rayleigh scattering of mixtures or suspensions the temperature gratings generate, by the Soret effect, concentration gratings that may be very important since they produce both a phase and an amplitude grating superimposed on the principal one. The experimental evidence of their influence was given by Thyagarajan and Lallemand using a mixture of carbondisulfide and ethanol. In this paper we study the temporal behaviour of the concentration grating versus the sample properties and its effect on the detected diffracted beam. Explicit expressions are given for the output intensity taking into account both the generated amplitude and phase gratings.
Water vapor sensors based on the swelling of relief gelatin gratings
2015
We report on a novel device to measure relative humidity. The sensor is based on surface diffraction gratings made of gelatin. This material swells and shrinks according to the content of water vapor in air. By sending a light beam to the grating, diffracted orders appear. Due to the gelatin swelling or shrinking, first order intensity changes according to the relative humidity. Calibration curves relating intensity versus relative humidity have been found. The fabrication process of diffraction gratings and the testing of the prototype sensing devices are described.

We report on a novel device to measure relative humidity. Materials used in the measurement of relative humidity are of different kinds.

Versuche zur Lichtbeugung an Ultraschall in Quarz
1967
Diffraction of a continuous laser beam (He-Ne) by standing ultrasonic waves of 260 Mcs/s in quartz has been investigated. Besides the principal maximum at exact Bragg-incidence, the variation of intensity of first order diffraction pattern with tilt angle shows up to 15 secondary maxima. The effective depth of sound field and the maximum variation of refractive index were determined by comparison with the theory ofBhatia andNoble.
Observation of optical Smith-Purcell radiation at an electron beam energy of 855 MeV.
2002
Smith-Purcell radiation, generated when a beam of charged particles passes close to the surface of a diffraction grating, has been studied in the visible spectral range at wavelengths of 360 and 546 nm with the low emittance 855 MeV electron beam of the Mainz Microtron MAMI. The beam focused to a spot size of $4 \ensuremath{\mu}\mathrm{m}$ (full width at half maximum) passed over optical diffraction gratings of echelle profiles with blaze angles of $0.8\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}, 17.27\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{},$ and $41.12\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}$ and grating periods of 0.833 and $9.09 \ensuremath{\mu}\mathrm{m}.$ Taking advantage of the specific emission chara…
Fourier optical approach to the extraction of morphological parameters from the diffraction pattern of biological cells.
1978
A new procedure for fast quantitative extraction of cell parameters from diffraction patterns was deduced from model calculations and applied to cervical gynecological material. Based on radial scans of the diffraction pattern, the technique permits simultaneous determination of the nuclear and cytoplasmic diameters by Fourier analysis of the radial scanning signals after compensation for the intensity falloff by an amplification proportional to the third power of the radial position in the diffraction plane. Illustrative examples of measurements on exfoliated cells of different types are presented.
<title>Relaxation processes in amorphous As-S and As-Se films</title>
1997
The relaxation of optical, mechanical and chemical properties of as-evaporated amorphous As-S and As-Se films while storing them at room temperature is investigated. The AsxS1-x films with arsenic content 0.3 less than x less than 0.4 are found to undergo maximal changes. It is shown that the phenomenon of dark self-enhancement of holograms (an increase of diffraction efficiency over time without any special treatment) can be used as an efficient method for investigation of relaxation processes in the amorphous chalcogenide films. The changes of diffraction efficiency in amorphous As2S3 films have been measured as a function of aging time and recording light intensity. The relaxation proces…
Testing a theoretically-based overland flow resistance law by Emmett’s database
2021
Abstract The main aim of this paper was to test a recently theoretically deduced flow resistance equation, based on a power-velocity profile, using a wide database of available measurements carried out in laboratory and field experimental runs with overland flow under simulated rainfall. In comparison with previous calibrations and validations of this theoretically deduced flow resistance equation, the used database by Emmett is characterized by a wide range of rainfall intensities (from 79.2 to 303.5 mm h−1 for laboratory runs and from 178.3 to 215.9 mm h−1 for field investigations) and bed slopes (from 0.33 to 17% for laboratory runs and from 2.9 to 33.2% for field investigations). For th…
Nonlinear dynamics of a two-photon Fabry–Pérot laser
2000
Abstract The steady-state emission, stability and temporal dynamics of a single-mode two-photon laser with a Fabry–Perot cavity is investigated and compared with that of a ring-cavity laser. It is found that the Fabry–Perot cavity makes the laser less efficient than the ring cavity because of spatial hole burning, but the domain of stability is larger for the Fabry–Perot laser. The intensity and phase dynamics are numerically investigated and distinctive features are found in the phase dynamics as compared with one-photon lasers.
