Braze alloys for high temperature service
Two groups of refractory metal compositions have been developed that are very useful as high temperature brazing alloys for sealing between ceramic and metal parts. Each group consists of various compositions of three selected refractory metals which, when combined, have characteristics required of good braze alloys

Important role of alkali atoms in A4C60
We show that hopping via the alkali atoms plays an important role for the t1u
band of A4C60 (A=K, Rb), in strong contrast to A3C60. Thus the t1u band is
broadened by more than 40 % by the presence of the alkali atoms. The difference
between A4C60 and A3C60 is in particular due to the less symmetric location of
the alkali atoms in A4C60.Comment: 5 pages, revtex, 2 figures, submitted to Phys. Rev. B more

High-Tip-Speed, Low-Loading Transonic Fan Stage. Part 1: Aerodynamic and Mechanical Design
A high-tip-speed, low-loading transonic fan stage was designed to deliver an overall pressure ratio of 1.5 with an adiabatic efficiency of 86 percent. The design flow per unit annulus area is 42.0 pounds per square foot. The fan features a hub/tip ratio of 0.46, a tip diameter of 28.74 in. and operates at a design tip speed of 1600 fps. For these design conditions, the rotor blade tip region operates with supersonic inlet and supersonic discharge relative velocities. A sophisticated quasi-three-dimensional characteristic section design procedure was used for the all-supersonic sections and the inlet of the midspan transonic sections. For regions where the relative outlet velocities are supersonic, the blade operates with weak oblique shocks only
Diffuse Neutron Scattering Study of Relaxor Ferroelectric (1-x)Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3-xPbTiO3(PZN-xPT)
Diffuse neutron scattering is a valuable tool to obtain information about the
size and orientation of the polar nanoregions that are a characteristic feature
of relaxor ferroelectrics. In this paper, we present new diffuse scattering
results obtained on Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3 (PZN for short) and
(1-x)Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3-xPbTiO3(PZN-xPT)single crystals (with x=4.5 and 9%),
around various Bragg reflections and along three symmetry directions in the
[100]-[011] zone. Diffuse scattering is observed around reflections with mixed
indices, (100), (011) and (300), and along transverse and diagonal directions
only. No diffuse scattering is found in longitudinal scans. The diffuse
scattering peaks can be fitted well with a Lorentzian function, from which a
correlation length is extracted. The correlation length increases with
decreasing temperatures down to the transition at Tc, first following a
Curie-Weiss law, then departing from it and becoming flat at very low
temperatures. These results are interpreted in terms of three temperature
regions: 1) dynamic polarization fluctuations (i.e. with a finite lifetime) at
high temperatures, 2) static polarization reorientations (condensation of polar
nanoregions) that can still reorient as a unit (relaxor behavior) at
intermediate temperatures and 3) orientational freezing of the polar
nanoregions with random strain fields in pure PZN or a structural phase
transition in PZN-xPT at low temperatures. The addition of PT leads to a
broadening of the diffuse scattering along the diagonal ([111]) relative to the
transverse ([100]) direction, indicating a change in the orientation of the
polar regions. Also, with the addition of PT, the polar nanoregions condense at
a higher temperature above Tc.Comment: AIP 6x9 style files, 9 pages, 5 figures, Conference-Fundamental

The supermassive black hole and double nucleus of the core elliptical NGC5419
We obtained adaptive-optics assisted SINFONI observations of the central
regions of the giant elliptical galaxy NGC5419 with a spatial resolution of 0.2
arcsec ( pc). NGC5419 has a large depleted stellar core with a
radius of 1.58 arcsec (430 pc). HST and SINFONI images show a point source
located at the galaxy's photocentre, which is likely associated with the
low-luminosity AGN previously detected in NGC5419. Both the HST and SINFONI
images also show a second nucleus, off-centred by 0.25 arcsec (
pc). Outside of the central double nucleus, we measure an almost constant
velocity dispersion of km/s. In the region where the double
nucleus is located, the dispersion rises steeply to a peak value of
km/s. In addition to the SINFONI data, we also obtained stellar kinematics at
larger radii from the South African Large Telescope. While NGC5419 shows low
rotation ( km/s), the central regions (inside ) clearly
rotate in the opposite direction to the galaxy's outer parts. We use
orbit-based dynamical models to measure the black hole mass of NGC5419 from the
kinematical data outside of the double nuclear structure. The models imply
M M. The enhanced velocity
dispersion in the region of the double nucleus suggests that NGC5419 possibly
hosts two supermassive black holes at its centre, separated by only pc. Yet our measured M is consistent with the black hole mass
expected from the size of the galaxy's depleted stellar core. This suggests,
that systematic uncertainties in M related to the secondary nucleus
are small.Comment: Accepted for publication in MNRA
Commensurate and modulated magnetic phases in orthorhombic A1C60
Competing magnetically ordered structures in polymerized orthorhombic A1C60
are studied. A mean-field theory for the equilibrium phases is developed using
an Ising model and a classical Heisenberg model to describe the competition
between inter- and intra-chain magnetic order in the solid. In the Ising model,
the limiting commensurate one-dimensional and three-dimensional phases are
separated by a commensurate three-sublattice state and by two sectors
containing higher-order commensurate phases. For the Heisenberg model the
quasi-1D phase is never the equilibrium state; instead the 3D commensurate
phases exhibits a transition to a continuum of coplanar spiral magnetic phases.Comment: 11 pages REVTeX 3.0 plus 4 figures appende
