Anodic growth of self-ordered magnesium oxy-fluoride nanoporous/tubular layers on Mg alloy (WE43)

In the present work we show that self-ordered nanotubular and nanoporous magnesium oxy-fluoride structures can be grown on a magnesium-based alloy when anodized in a non-aqueous (ethylene glycol) HF electrolyte. The morphology of the surface structures varies with applied potential and anodisation time. Tubular and porous structures with different sizes and orientation can be grown.     

Magnetostrictive behaviour of Fe73.5Si13.5B9Nb3−xMoxCu1 alloys

Magnetostriction, dilatation and calorimetric measurements were performed on FINEMET type as-quenched and heat treated ribbons. Nb was gradually replaced by Mo in order to study the influence of the refractory elements exchange on several magnetostriction parameters. The results could be correlated with magnetic and structural transformations throughout thermal treatments and assured that the whole series is suitable for technical applications.     

Molecular dynamics of liquid alkaline-earth metals near the melting point

Results of the studies of the properties like binding energy, the pair distribution function g(r), the structure factor S(q), specific heat at constant volume, velocity autocorrelation function (VACF), radial distribution function, self-diffusion coefficient and coordination number of alkaline-earth metals (Be, Mg, Ca, Sr and Ba) near melting point using molecular dynamics (MD) simulation technique using a pseudopotential proposed by us are presented in this article. Good agreement with the experiment is achieved for the binding energy, pair distribution function and structure factor, and these results compare favourably with the results obtained by other such calculations, showing the transferability of the pseudopotential used from solid to liquid environment in the case of alkaline-earth metals.     

On generalized Toeplitz and little Hankel operators on Bergman spaces

We find a concrete integral formula for the class of generalized Toeplitz operators \(T_a\) in Bergman spaces \(A^p\), \(1<p<\infty \), studied in an earlier work by the authors. The result is extended to little Hankel operators. We give an example of an \(L^2\)-symbol a such that \(T_{|a|} \) fails to be bounded in \(A^2\), although \(T_a : A^2 \rightarrow A^2\) is seen to be bounded by using the generalized definition. We also confirm that the generalized definition coincides with the classical one whenever the latter makes sense.
