Giant diamagnetism of gold nanorods

The presence of giant diamagnetism in Au nanorods, NRs, is shown to be a possible consequence of field induced currents in the surface electrons. The distance, Delta , between quantum surface energy levels has been calculated as a function of the NRs radius. Note that those electrons occupying states for which Delta > k(B)T are steadily orbiting with constant orbital moment. The diamagnetic response induced when a field is turned on remains constant during the time the field is acting. As the NRs radius increases, Delta decreases and accordingly the electron fraction available to generate constant currents decreases, consequently the surface diamagnetic susceptibility decreases towards its bulk value. The surface electronic motion induced by the axial applied field on electrons confined into a cylindrical surface accounts with extremely good quantitative agreement for the giant diamagnetism recently measured and reported.

Investigación previa para el taladrado orbital de apilados CFRP/Ti6Al4V.

[ES]El taladrado “one shot” de apilados de CFRP/Titanio está caracterizado por la corta vida útil de las brocas, aunque por lo general, la calidad de los agujeros es buena. Una alternativa al taladrado convencional es el taladrado orbital. Este trabajo, tiene tres objetivos principales: el primero es establecer unas condiciones de corte óptimas para el taladrado orbital en apilados de CFRP/Titanio de sección constante; la segunda, es analizar la calidad de los agujeros: rugosidad, ovalización, precisión dimensional…al igual que el desgaste de las herramientas; y el tercero es establecer una zona de trabajo dependiendo de los parámetros del proceso.
