Experimental study and effect of particulate interference on the microhardness, wear and microstructural properties of ternary doped coating

This paper studies effects of the composite particle infringement of ZnO/Cr{sub 2}O{sub 3} on zinc rich ternary based coating. The corrosion-degradation property in 3.5% NaCl was investigatedusing polarization technique. The structural characteristics of the multilayer produce coatings were evaluated by scanning electron microscope (SEM) equipped with an energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS). The mechanical response of the coated samples was studied using a diamond base Dura –Scan) micro-hardness tester and a MTR-300 dry abrasive wear tester. The combined effect of the coatings gave highly-improved performance on microhardness, corrosion and wear damage. This also implies that protection of wind-energy structures in marine environments can be achieved by composite strengthening capacity.

Formation of high quality interference fringes from both sides of a suitably designed hololens in the laser Doppler anemometer measurement volume

We report, for the first time to the best of our knowledge, the formation of high quality, evenly spaced, undistorted fringes in the measurement volume of a laser Doppler anemometer from both sides of a suitably designed hololens. Experiments are performed for the analysis of fringes formed at the measurement volume by real time monitoring and actual fringe field analysis techniques. The results indicate the qualitative as well as quantitative improvement of 66.58% in overall average normalised standard deviations of the width of the fringes formed by the proposed imaging configuration than that of the conventional imaging configuration.

Fano interference at the excitation of coherent phonons: Relation between the asymmetry parameter and the initial phase of coherent oscillations

The theoretical assertion that the Fano asymmetry parameter and the asymptotic initial phase of a harmonic oscillator interacting with a continuum are interrelated is experimentally verified. By an example of coherent fully symmetric A{sub 1g} phonons in bismuth that are excited by ultrashort laser pulses at liquid helium temperature, it is demonstrated that, for negative values of the asymmetry parameter, the asymptotic phase increases as the modulus of the parameter decreases.

Energy Conservation in Distributed Interference as a Guarantee for Detecting a Detector Blinding Attack in Quantum Cryptography

An avalanche single-photon detector blinding attack is one of the methods for quantum hacking of quantum key distribution (QKD) systems. The attack was experimentally demonstrated for both phase- and polarization-encoded QKD systems. During this attack, an eavesdropper knows the entire key, does not produce errors and саnnot be detected. However, the phase encoding has neglected some significant features of the photocount statistics in the receiving party. It is shown in the paper at the level of fundamental principles that this attack changes the photocount statistics and leads to the detection of an eavesdropper. Expressions for the secret key length are obtained for this attack. This does not require any changes in the design and control electronics of the phase-encoded QKD system, and only changes in processing the results of registration of quantum states are sufficient. At the same time, the secret key vulnerability and compromise in polarization-encoded QKD systems is an existing fact rather than a potential menace.

Wind-tunnel boundary interference for V/STOL TESTING

The wake skew angle used in applying the theory of NASA TR R-124 to data correction should be such that the angular deflection of the wake vorticity from the horizontal is one-half that calculated from momentum theory at the lifting element. This usage is in contrast to that of the original paper which used the angle of the mass flow. Because of large-scale recirculation effects, there is a finite lower limit to the test speed at which reliable and correctable data can be obtained in closed wind tunnels. Although a zero-correction wind tunnel for V/STOL testing has not yet been achieved, it is shown that the use of suitably mixed wind-tunnel boundaries can alleviate boundary effects on V/STOL data.
