    Abstract: Illumination by incandescent lamps is an essential necessity for our life activity. The operation of the lamps consumes about 30% of total electric power on the world. The reduction of the electric power consumption of the incandescent lamps is an urgent subject for the UN project. The developed coil-EEFL lamps miraculously have zero electric power... Show More

    Abstract: The hcp-Co and fcc-Ni nanowires with the diameter of ~ 50nm were successfully prepared at different overpotentials by using potentiostatic electrochemical deposition in the pores of AAO templates. The prepared nanowires were characterized by X-ray diffraction, and the morphology of the nanowires was investigated by scanning electron microscope. In ... Show More

    Abstract: CeO2/La2Zr2O7 composite buffer layers were deposited on Ni-W tapes using chemical solution method. YBa2Cu3O7-x (YBCO) films were then deposited on the CeO2/La2Zr2O7 composite buffer layers using a low-fluorine solution route. Effect of the annealing temperature and annealing atmosphere on the texture of the CeO2 layers was investigated. It was foun... Show More

    Abstract: A full-Heusler alloy Ti2NiGa have been investigated by first-principles calculations. The electronic structures and magnetic properties have been obtained. The compound is predicted to be a new half-metal ferrimagnet. The calculations show that there is an energy gap in the minority spin of the band structures, whereas the other spin is strongly me...
