Mechanical properties and cracking behaviour of marble and moulded gypsum under high strain rates by Zou, Chunjiang

“…The mechanical properties of both intact and non-intact specimens including the compressive strength, the tensile strength, the elastic modulus, and the failure strain are tested under different strain rates by using a servo compression machine and a split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) system. Experimental results reveal that these mechanical properties all show strain rate-dependence to different degrees. …”

Interpretation of an anomalous peak in low-temperature photoluminescence measurements of bulk GaAs[sub 1−x]N[sub x] on GaAs by Cheah, Weng Kwong, Fan, Weijun, Yoon, Soon Fatt, Loke, Wan Khai, Liu, R., Wee, A. T. S.

“…Low-temperature 10 K photoluminescence measurements of GaAs1−xNx epitaxial layers grown on GaAs reveal an anomalous second peak in solid-source molecular beam epitaxy. Rapid thermal annealing RTA of a specific GaAsN sample reveals a lower energy peak which redshifts and a higher energy peak which blueshifts under increasing annealing temperature. …”
