One technique for sintering green compacts and imparting the required qualities to meet the specific application requirements is spark plasma sintering (SPS). This study examines the effects of SPS parameters (sintering temperature and pressure, hold...

This study examines coatings based on Ti-Al system intermetallics deposited in a nitrogen environment. The research investigates the structure, phase composition, chemical composition, and mechanical properties of coatings with varying ratios of Ti-A...

The development of advanced volume detectors for neutron time-of-flight diffractometers offers exciting new possibilities. This work takes advantage of these advances by implementing a novel data preprocessing algorithm, exemplified for the first tim...

It is known that swift heavy ion (SHI) irradiation induces the shape elongation of metal nanoparticles (NPs) embedded in transparent insulators, which results in anisotropic optical absorption. Here, we report another type of the optical anisotropy i...

Gunshot residues deposited on all surfaces in the nearest vicinity of the shooting incident, when revealed, can contribute to the explanation of various aspects of such an incident for forensic purposes. Examinations of gunshot residue, mainly inorga...

This work investigates the enhancement of optical energy in the synchronized dynamics of three erbium-doped fiber lasers (EDFLs) that are diffusively coupled in a unidirectional ring configuration without the need for external pump modulation. Before...

This work presents the development of a macro X-ray fluorescence (MA-XRF) scanner system for in situ analysis of paintings. The instrument was developed to operate using continuous acquisitions, where the module with the X-ray tube and detector moves...

This work demonstrates a high-quality erbium-doped fiber (EDF) ring laser in the L-band gain range by combining the Rayleigh backscattering (RB) feedback signal and unpumped EDF induced saturable absorber (SA) filter. The optical filter effect induce...
