Impact of modified aggregate gradation on the workability, mechanical, microstructural and radiation shielding properties of recycled aggregate concrete
Slump cone
The incorporation of RCA in concrete mixtures typically results in a decrease in slump compared to concrete made with natural aggregates, even when using the same water-cement ratio32. This reduction in workability is attributed to the…

Investigating the limits of hard X-ray coherence length measurement employing Young’s double slit experiment
Fringe visibility and source size calculations
Interferometric fringes have been observed at all the energies explored during the experiment. Coherence length calculations were not performed on data taken at energies above \(E=15\) keV due to…

A complete continuous-variable quantum computation architecture based on the 2D spatiotemporal cluster state
Scheme for generating the 2D cluster state
As is shown in Fig. 2a, the 2D cluster state can be generated by 4 steps. In step I, the pumped beam composed of Hermite Gaussian (HG) modes HG\(_{02}\) and HG\(_{20}\) is injected into the cavity, in…

Frequency-doubled chirped-pulse dual-comb generation in the near-UV: combined vs separated beam investigations of Rb atoms and NO2 near 420 nm
Near-IR comb generation
The system shown in Fig. 1a is similar to that described to generate frequency combs in the THz region based on difference frequency generation41. As mentioned in this prior work, this same approach is applied here to…

Superionic-like diffusion in yttrium dihydride
YH2 has a fluorite structure and belongs to the cubic Fm̅3m space group. The Y atoms form a fcc lattice with the H atoms occupying the tet sites as shown in Fig. 1(a). In an alternative representation, the H atoms are positioned in a simple…

Optical properties and dynamics of direct and spatially and momentum indirect excitons in AlGaAs/AlAs quantum wells
Steady-state photoluminescence spectroscopy
The structure under study is schematically depicted in Fig. 1a. The active region consists of twelve 9 nm-wide Al0.20Ga0.80As QWs, separated by 4 nm AlAs barriers, distributed in three stacks of four….
