Coated nanoparticles, which have a core-shell structure, have many applications. The attached manuscript shows some of our progresses in investigating the induced torque and orientation of such nanoparticles in an electric field. We show that the shell of a nanoparticle has an important effect on its orientation, even when the shell is thin and takes only a small portion of the total volume. For instance, a thin layer coating of highly conductive Au can dramatically change the induced torque on a SiO2 or TiO2 nanoparticle.
June 14, 2007, Materialise released a new and improved version
of its image processing software Mimics. It will again raise the bar in image
processing and editing based on stacked data such as CT and MRI. Continuous
development and support have resulted in the release of Mimics 11.

Does any one knows a good reference about lath martensite?
Why we see the retained austenite? why doesn't it transformto martensite? What's its effect on the phase transformation? Does the plasticity change the morphology of the transfromation? How about the speed of the transfromation? When should we expect to see the lath martensite? What's the effect of the diagonal terms in the transformation matrix? What's the effect of the shear components? Is there any difference between 2d and 3d simulations, and which one is more realistic?
Hi,
I am interested to know the natural frequencies of elements in the periodic table. I made some attempt to reveal this information but surprisingly ended with nothing. Perhaps I did not search hard. Does anyone know about the natural frequencies of elements in periodic table.
