Using first-principles calculation, we have studied the properties of a series of M<Subscript> x </Subscript>Co<Subscript>1−x </Subscript>/Co(0001) (M=Pd, Pt) bimetallic surface alloys with atom M ratios from 0.25 to 1.0, then the effect of alloyed M metal on the properties of S adsorbed on these surfaces are discussed. Our calculations...</subscript></subscript>

A series of ultrathin films of DyBa2Cu3O7−x, with properties spanning the zero-field superconductor-to-insulator transition, were prepared for the purpose of investigating the magnetic field driven superconductor-insulator transition. The resistance of these films was found to exhibit a peak...

 

This paper reviews the previous work on phase change cold storage for air-conditioning systems focusing on two aspects including phase change materials (PCMs) and applications. Besides the studies on phase change cold storage devices, the typical air-conditioning systems with cold storage are...
