Thermal studies of D.C. traction motors
This paper describes a thorough thermal study on a fleet of DC traction motors which were found to suffer from overheating after 3 years of full operation. Overheating of these traction motors is attributed partly because of the higher than expected number of starts and stops between train terminals. Another probable cause of overheating is the design of the traction motor and/or its control strategy. According to the motor manufacturer, a current shunt is permanently connected across the motor field winding. Hence, some of the armature current is bypassed into the current shunt. The motor then runs above its rated speed in the field weakening mode. In this study, a finite difference model has been developed to simulate the temperature profile at different parts inside the traction motor. In order to validate the simulation result, an empty vehicle loaded with drums of water was also used to simulate the full pay-load of a light rail vehicle experimentally. The authors report that the simulation results agree reasonably well with experimental data, and it is likely that the armature of the traction motor will run cooler if its field shunt is disconnected at low speed

Transport and quantum lifetime dependence on electron density in gated GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructures
We present a study of the transport & quantum lifetime dependence on electron density in two completely di3erent kinds of two-dimensional electron gas systems. We observed that both the two scattering time increase with increasing the electron density. But the ratios of the transport to the quantum lifetime have di3erent tendency with the electron density, which do not conform to the conventional theory. We speculate that the screening e3ects need to be considered in order to explain our experimental resultsWe present a study of the transport and quantum lifetime dependence on electron density in two completely di3erent kinds

Crystal field effects in the intermetallic RNi3Ga9 (R=Tb, Dy, Ho, and Er) compounds
In this paper, we report temperature-dependent magnetic susceptibility, electrical resistivity, and heat-capacity experiments in the family of intermetallic compounds RNi3Ga9 (R = Tb, Dy, Ho, and Er). Single-crystalline samples were grown using Ga self-flux method. These materials crystallize in a trigonal ErNi3Al9-type structure with space group R32. They all order antiferromagnetically with TN<20K. The anisotropic magnetic susceptibility presents large values of the ratio χeasy/χhard indicating strong crystalline electric-field (CEF) effects. The evolution of the crystal-field scheme for each R was analyzed in detail by using a spin model including anisotropic nearest-neighbor Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida interaction and the trigonal CEF Hamiltonian. Our analysis allows one to understand the distinct direction of the ordered moments along the series - the Tb-, Dy-, and Ho-based compounds have the ordered magnetic moments in the easy ab plane and the Er sample magnetization easy axis is along the ĉ direction.Fil: Silva, L.S..
