Abstract Microscopic structures and magnetic properties are investigated for Fe 5− x GeTe 2 single crystal, recently discovered as a promising van der Waals (vdW) ferromagnet. An atom (Fe(1)) located in the outermost 5 Ge sublayer has two possible split‐sites which either above or below atom. Scanning tunneling microscopy shows √3 × superstructures attributed to ordering of Fe(1) layer. The have different phases due symmetry ordering. Intriguingly, observed breaks inversion resulting...
This paper aims to clarify Adam Smith's view of science that has been found in his capacity as a historian or philosopher science. It is shown Smith assesses scientific activities seeking uncover underlying hidden causal mechanisms at the real level link together patterns and regularities empirical world. He deals largely with such dimensions essays on natural sciences—particularly 'History Astronomy'. Importantly, applied version inference best explanation evaluate possible competing...
Abstract The aim of the paper is to show that Smith has a theory economic history grounded in politico-economic modeling (as well as sort theoretical modeling). In terms approach, Wealth Nations (Book III.ii–iv) tried offer systematic account development from feudalism capitalism Europe. These lead suggest seeming internal inconsistency between natural and actual courses progress Book III may be resolved, treated precursor Douglass North, who stressed an inextricable link polity economy history.
Abstract This paper sees a systematic unity between Smith's theological view and scientific study of society. outlook as to benevolent deity is grasped metaphysical doctrine in his system social science. It arises from the fact that while opinion concerning God's attributes established, first instance, on basis empirical nature, it also stands irrespective other facts which are not line with patterns order design. proposition such methodologically suggestive proposes theoretical...
This article casts light on the intimate relationship between metaphysics and science in Adam Smith’s thought. Understanding this can help resolving an enduring dispute or misreading concerning status role of natural theology ‘invisible hand’ doctrine. In scientific realism, ontological issues are necessary prerequisites for inquiry, metaphysical ideas thus play organizing regulatory role. Smith also recognized importance scientifically informed science’s historical development. sense,...
In this article, the authors present work on emitter diffusion in crystalline silicon solar cell fabrication, and determine that phosphorus doping using phosphoric acid (H 3 PO 4 ) with dipping is convenient cost effective. H was mixed different solvents such as deionised water, ethanol, methanol butanol. However, water hydrophobic to surface. The layers were obtained by varying emulsion concentrations temperatures. sheet resistance of prepared measured. varied between 60 130 Ω/〉 butanol a...
This paper aims to defend Adam Smith’s ideas of taxation via moral philosophical approaches. In the conventional interpretation such a view is assumed be inconsistent particularly due shortcomings his economic theory. We suggest that notions justice and equity, surplus income counted on an equilibrium basis in natural price system, argument for proportional rather coherent, while considerations horizontal equity would result support some progressivity taxation. latter sense equity-based tax...
We synthesized size controlled a-Si:H nanoparticles in plasma using a hydrogen gas pulse. An inductively-coupled chamber with RF power (13.56 MHz) was designed for this study. Experiments were performed various pulse ON-times ranging between 0.1 to 0.9 seconds 1 second periods. The of the measured and analyzed electron microscopy, Scanning Mobility Particle Sizer (SMPS) Image J software. observed that decreased when ON-time increased. found be spherical shape uniform. For greater than 0.3...
Previous studies suggest that demand forces (as well as widely accepted supply-side factors) work in Smith’s ‘historical’ account of economic development. Expanding on this line inquiry and yet giving corrections misinterpretations, article claims ‘endogenous’ is at play theory natural progress, providing a historical case study early modern England for an illustration the demand-based model progress. Smith drew attention to dynamics growth with respect role changing sectoral structure...
This paper aims to resolve a seeming paradox in Adam Smith’s study of history with regard inference the best explanation. In Wealth Nations Smith argued priority “natural progress” over model historical progress as evidenced by many contemporary historians. These two competing exercises philosophical raise previously unexplored question what are critical tests justify which is best, wide use scientific realist standards such seeking for underlying general causality, generality explanatory...
Mixing between nano-sized silicon particles and micro-sized graphite powders was performed for anode materials of lithium ion batteries, in which the nanoparticles were synthesized by silane pyrolysis under optimized conditions subsequently coated onto surface at mixing chamber counter-flow injection. The injection employed as a dry particle process order to generate uniform silicon-coated powders. Furthermore, this method also made it possible combine synthesis into one single operation....
