Austenitic stainless steels are employed in many industrial fields, due to their excellent
corrosion resistance, easy formability and weldability. However, their low hardness, poor …

Publisher Summary The term “invar” stands for alloys showing minimum thermal expansion
coefficients (maximum spontaneous volume magnetostriction) in certain ranges of …

In this paper, we review some of the key concepts in ultrathin film magnetism which underpin
nanomagnetism. We survey the results of recent experimental and theoretical studies of well …

The authors formulate a density functional theory (DF) to describe non-collinear magnetism.
Self-consistent, spin-polarised energy-band calculations based on the local approximation …

The different magnetic phases of the bcc and fcc forms of Fe, Co, and Ni are studied by
analyzing total-energy surfaces in moment-volume parameter space obtained from energy …

Using the total-energy general-potential linearized-augmented-plane-wave method, we
have tested the adequacy of the local-spin-density approximation for describing the …

A modified Stöber method is introduced to synthesize Fe@ SiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) using
3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) as a primer to render the metal particle surface …

The use of elevated target temperatures near 400° C during high flux ion implantation of N
2+ at energies ranging from 60 keV to 0.4 keV leads to a metastable, fcc high nitrogen solid …

The phase and composition depth distributions of a low‐energy (0.7 keV), high‐flux (2.5
mA/cm2) N implanted fcc AISI 304 stainless steel held at 400° C have been investigated by …

We report the first magnetic study of pure and metastable hexagonal close-packed (hcp) Ni
nanoparticles (sample 1). We also produced stable face-centered cubic (fcc) Ni …
