With the advent of System-on-Chip (SoC), intense research efforts are being carried out in order to find efficient practical solutions for testing deeply embedded, mixed-signal cores. Due to restricted access, a built-in self-test (BIST) of mixed-signal cores is in many cases a preferred alternative to a conventional test using external …
Our research focused on the formation of Ti40Zr40-xNi20Cux (x=3, 5), Ti45Zr38-xNi17Cux (x=3, 5), Ti53Zr27-xNi20Cux (x=3, 5) and Ti58Zr24-xNi18Cux (x=3, 5) icosahedral (i-phase) quasicrystals by three different techniques and their subsequent characterization and high-pressure hydrogenation. The quasicrystals of this system are thermodynamically stable and they have a relatively good affinity for …
Neutron activation analysis (NAA) is an analytical method used for determination of the elemental mass fractions in different samples. It is based on the measurement of characteristic radiation, usually γ-rays, emitted from radionuclides formed through the process of neutron irradiation of the target element. The k0-NAA method is an NAA …
