Zhou, Y. (author), Jiao, H. (author), Chen, Y. (author), Bauer, G.E.W. (author), Xiao, J. (author)We develop a self-consistent theory for current-induced spin-wave excitations in normal metal/magnetic insulator bilayer structures. We compute the spin-wave dispersion and dissipation, including dipolar and exchange interactions in the magnet, the spin diffusion in the normal metal, as well as the surface anisotropy, spin-transfer torque, and...journal article 2013

Slooff, F.A. (author), Zhou, J. (author), Duszczyk, J. (author), Katgerman, L. (author)The commonly used hyperbolic sine constitutive equation for metal forming at elevated temperatures, with no strain incorporated, is in principle applicable only to deformation in the steady state. However, the actual deformation processes applied to magnesium alloys are mostly in the non-steady state. In the present research, the results of hot...journal article 2008

Zhou, J. (author), Qian, S. (author), Sierra Beltran, M.G. (author), Ye, G. (author), Van Breugel, K. (author), Li, V.C. (author)Nowadays limestone powder and blast furnace slag (BFS) are widely used in concrete as blended materials in cement. The replacement of Portland cement by limestone powder and BFS can lower the cost and enhance the greenness of concrete, since the production of these two materials needs less energy and causes less CO2 emission than Portland cement...journal article 2009
