An overview is given of approximate effective length formulas. The overview is limited to formulas that are relevant for the important class of compression members defined by constant stiffness and constant axial force ...

A mixed-valence state, formally denoted as Fe 2 . 5 + , is observed in the 300 K Mössbauer spectra of the most reduced samples of SmBaFe 2 O 5 + w . Upon cooling below the Verwey-type transition temperature (TV≈ 200 K ) ...

The results of polarized micro-Raman scattering experiments on YBa 2 Fe 3 O 8 + δ with δ=0.1 are reported. We identified seven out of the total ten by symmetry Raman-allowed phonons at 134 cm − 1 ( A 1 g ), 148 cm − 1 ...
