This work reports the phase-change behavior and thermal stability of doped GeSbTe/GeSbTe bilayers. We prepared the bilayers using RF sputtering, and annealed them at annealing temperature ranging from $100^{\circ}C$ to $400^{\circ}C$. The sheet resistance of the bilayer decreased and saturated with increasing annealing temperature, and the saturated value was close to that of pure GeSbTe film. The surface of the bilayer roughened at $400^{\circ}C$, which corresponds to the surface roughening of doped GeSbTe film. Mixed phases of face-centered cubic and hexagonal close-packed crystalline structures were identified in the bilayers annealed at elevated temperature. These results indicate that the phase-change behavior of the bilayer depends on the concurrent phase-transitions of the two GeSbTe-based films. The dopants in the doped GeSbTe film were diffused out at annealing temperatures of $300^{\circ}C$ or higher, which implies that the thermal stability of the bilayer should be considered for its application in phase-change electronic devices.

The main objective of this research is to develop fatigue prediction model for flexible pavements using energy ratio factor and phase angle. The two parameters are considered as fundamental properties of time and temperature dependent viscoelastic asphalt concrete materials. The energy ratio factor is defined as the ratio of the pseudo-total cumulative dissipated energy to the cumulative dissipated energy to failure during the test. The phase angle between the stress and strain ware signals stems from the intrinsic the dependent asphalt mixture behavior. The phase angle was computed and the relationship between the initial mixture stiffness and the initial phase angle is presented. As a result, fatigue prediction model for flexible pavements was proposed using intrinsic properties of viscoelastic asphalt concrete materials.

We investigated epitaxial relations of phase transitions between the lamellar (L), hexagonally perforated layers (HPL), and gyroid (G) morphologies in styrene-isoprene diblock copolymer (PSI) and polyisoprene (PI)/PSI blend using rheology and small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) techniques. In HPLlongrightarrowG transitions, six spot patterns of G phase were observed in two-dimensitional SAXS pattern. On the other hand, in direct L-longrightarrowG transition without appearance of HPL phase, the polydomain patterns of G phase were observed. From present study, it was understood that direct LlongrightarrowG transition of blend may be suppressed by high-energy barrier of transition and mismatches in domain orientation between epitaxially related lattice planes.

This paper investigates the thermodynamic performance of latent heat thermal energy storage system using two phase change materials(2-PCM system). The thermodynamic merit of using 2-PCM is clear in terms of exergetic efficiency, which is substantially higher than that of 1-PCM system. Optimum phase change temperature to maximize the exergetic efficiency exists for each case. The heat transfer area ratio of high temperature storage unit, X, becomes another important parameter for 2-PCM system if the phase change temperatures of given materials are different from those of optimum conditions. It is a good approximation for X$_{opt}$ to be 0.5 when optimum phase change temperatures are used. Otherwise X$_{opt}$ is determined differently as a function of given phase change temperatures.res.

In this paper, we were designed the ferroelectric phase shifter using 3-dB, $90^{\circ}$ branch-line hybrid coupler with two ports terminated in symmetric phase-controllable reflective networks. The design of phase shifter is based on reflection theory of terminating circuits. In order to find the optimum conditions of reflect phase, the effect of a change of capacitance and transmission line connected with two coupled ports of a coupler have been investigated. To obtain more accurate design parameters, finite element method is applied. We were showed large phase variation with small capacitance variation in the parallel connection of capacitor and transmission line by using EM-simulation and circuit-simulation.

Two liquid chromatographic chiral stationary phases (CSPs) based on (+)-(18-crown-6)-2,3,11,12-tetracarboxylic acid were successfully applied in the resolution of racemic tocainide and its analogues. In the resolution of tocainide, especially, the CSP containing N-CH₃ amide tethering groups was quite effective, showing clear baseline resolution (RS: 2.66) with reasonable enantioselectivity ( a: 1.25). Consequently, the CSP containing N-CH₃ amide tethering groups is expected to be useful to monitor the enantiomeric composition of tocainide in clinical samples. In addition, the chromatographic behaviors for the resolution of tocainide and its analogues on the two CSPs were found controllable by varying the content and the type of organic and acidic modifiers in aqueous mobile phase.

The phenomena of drag reduction using small quantities of a linear macromolecules has attracted the attention of experimental investigations. It is well known that drag reduction in single phase liquid flow is affected by polymer materials, molecular weight, polymer concentration, pipe diameter and flow velocity. But the research on drag reduction in two phase flow has not intensively investigated. Drag reduction can be applied to phase change system such as chemical reactor, pool and boiling flow, and to flow with cavitation which occurs pump impellers. The purpose of the present work is to evaluate the drag reduction by measuring pressure drop, mean liquid velocity, and turbulent intensity and determine the effects of polymer additives on drag reduction in horizontal two phase flow. Experimental results show higher drag reduction using co-polymer comparing with using polyacrylamide. Mean liquid velocities increase as adding more polymer, and turbulent intensities decrease as the distance for the wall in inversed.

The Ni-Al intermetallic compound that has the greatest potential to be commercialized shows the high ductility at room temperature with the addition of boron, but has extremely low ductility at high temperature and oxidation environment. On this research work, the changes of microstructure and compressive fracture properties were studied in ($NiAl+Ni_3Al$) two-phase alloys. The precipitation behavior of $Ni_3Al$ after solution treatment at $1300^\circC$ for 14hrs and aging treatment at $800^{\circ}C$ for 14hrs was varied with Al content in ($NiAl+Ni_3Al$) two-phase alloys. These microstructure could be modified dramatically by suitable heat treatments. Martensite or martensite plus $Ni_3Al$ microstructure was obtained upon oil quenching from $1300^\circC$. Aging of Martensite at $800^\circC$ resulted in the $Ni_3Al$ plus NiAl phase. The compressive fracture strength and compressive fracture strain were improved by the $Ni_3Al$ plus NiAl phase mixtures at room temperature and $1100^\circC$. Microcracks are observed mostly in the region of NiAl and the interface of $NiAl-Ni_3Al$ phase after compressive test at room temperature. In the case of high temperature compressive test, microcracks are formed in the region of $Ni_3Al$ phase.

Recent development in composites containing phase-transforming particles, such as vanadium dioxide or barium titanate, reveals the overall stiffness and viscoelastic damping of the composites may be unbounded (Lakes et al. 2001, Jaglinski et al. 2007). Negative stiffness is induced from phase transformation predicted by the Landau phase transformation theory. Although this unbounded phenomenon is theoretically supported with the composite homogenization theory, detailed stress analyses of the composites are still lacking. In this work, we analyze the stress distribution of the Hashin-Shtrikman (HS) composite and its two-dimensional variant, namely a circular inclusion in a square plate, under the assumption that the Young's modulus of the inclusion is negative. Assumption of negative stiffness is a priori in the present analysis. For stress analysis, a closed form solution for the HS model and finite element solutions for the 2D composite are presented. A static loading condition is adopted to estimate the effective modulus of the composites by the ratio of stress to average strain on the loading edges. It is found that the interfacial stresses between the circular inclusion and matrix increase dramatically when the negative stiffness is so tuned that overall stiffness is unbounded. Furthermore, it is found that stress distributions in the inclusion are not uniform, contrary to Eshelby's theorem, which states, for two-phase, infinite composites, the inclusion's stress distribution is uniform when the shape of the inclusion has higher symmetry than an ellipse. The stability of the composites is discussed from the viewpoint of deterioration of perfect interface conditions due to excessive interfacial stresses.
