We report the effect of 3 MeV proton irradiation on suppression critical temperature ${T}_{c}$ in $\text{Ba}{({\text{Fe}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}{\text{Co}}_{x})}_{2}{\text{As}}_{2}$ single crystals at underdoping, optimal-doping, and overdoping levels. find that decreases residual resistivity increases monotonically with increasing dose. also no upturn low-temperature contrast $\ensuremath{\alpha}$-particle-irradiated NdFeAs(O,F), which suggests defects induced by behave as nonmagnetic...
Various kinds of energetic particles are irradiated into iron-based superconductors, and their effects on the critical current density (Jc) vortex dynamics have been systematically studied. It is found that Jc enhanced strongly suppressed by having a sufficient energy deposition rate, similar to case high temperature cuprate superconductors. The enhancement Jc, in general, persists up much higher irradiation doses than cuprates. However, details effect depend kind ion species energies. Even...
To estimate muscle metabolism and oxygen delivery to skeletal in patients with chronic heart failure.13 failure 15 controls performed calf plantar flexion for six minutes at a constant workload of 50% one repetition maximum. During recovery from exercise, content oxygenated haemoglobin (oxy-Hb) the level phosphocreatine (PCr) were measured by near-infrared spectroscopy (31)P-magnetic resonance spectroscopy, respectively.The mean (SD) time constants PCr oxy-Hb during exercise significantly...
In this study, we demonstrate for the first time hydrothermal synthesis of yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) nanocrystals with controlled yttria content (x = 3-12 mol %; xYSZ) negligible aggregation from aqueous solution.
