Domain dynamics response to polarization switching in relaxor ferroelectrics by Li, Yang, Lin, Wei, Wang, Cong, Zhang, Shumin, He, Yunfei, Gao, Weibo, Zhao, Shifeng

“…Two fundamentally different domain switching pathways and dynamic characteristics are revealed: one steep, bipolar-like switching between two degenerate polarization states; and another flat, multi-step switching process with a thermodynamically stable non-polar mesophase mediating the degenerate polarization states. …”

Evolution of volcanic rifted margins: origin of seaward dipping reflectors with insights from flexure and 'process-oriented’ gravity modelling by Morgan, RL

“…Results from a case study interpreting a set of seismic reflection surveys from the Orange Basin, offshore Namibia show good general agreement between observed Airy isostatic anomalies and calculated gravity anomalies with T_e in the range 1-3km. The steep gradient that is often observed in the Airy isostatic gravity anomaly at rifted margins is therefore a useful proxy for the seaward edge of the dykes that intrude the crust prior to seafloor spreading.…”

'Women in an extraordinary time': the transnational network and educational spaces of the Canadian Eiwa Girls' mission schools in 1920s and 1930s Japan by Dugal, A

“…Through network development, physical and intellectual spatial construction, and curriculum and activity design, these historical actors reached outside their institutions to actively connect themselves and their peers with the wider world. In the 1930s, this appears to have been conducted with a sense of urgency. …”

Additive manufacturing of multiple materials by selective laser melting : Ti-alloy to stainless steel via a Cu-alloy interlayer by Tey, Cher Fu, Tan, Xipeng, Sing, Swee Leong, Yeong, Wai Yee

“…In this work, the selective laser melting (SLM) process was used to manufacture MM parts which feature steep material transitions from 316L stainless steel (SS) to Ti-6Al-4V (TiA) through an interlayer of HOVADUR® K220 copper–alloy (CuA). …”

Dynamic response of magnetic skyrmions in multilayer heterostructures by Satywali, Bhartendu

“…The field and frequency-sweep FMR measurements reveal two distinct resonant modes originating from skyrmions: a low frequency (LF) resonance exhibiting a steep proportionality to the external out-of-plane magnetic field (H), and a high frequency (HF) resonance which is less sensitive to variations in H. …”

Microfiltration of oil emulsions stabilized by different surfactants by Trinh, Thien An, Han, Qi, Ma, Yunqiao, Chew, Jia Wei

“…Two key understanding on the correlation between the DLVO and XDLVO predictions with flux and fouling were obtained. Firstly, the steep flux enhancement vis-à-vis a DI water feed by the feed containing CTAB-stabilized oil emulsion was tied to the attractive interaction of the surfactant with the membrane, as evident from the DLVO model. …”

Behaviors of floating droplet by Kan, Kah Hou

“…High amplitude oscillation is characterized by a gradual contraction of contact line and followed by a steep and sharp expansion. Closer inspection shows that the expansion of droplet contact line causes the strong expulsion of bulk fluid into the submersed section causing abrupt and unstable flow transition. …”
