The Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFCs) are used for a direct conversion of chemical energy into electrical energy and are composed of three layers: a porous anode, a solid electrolyte and a porous cathode. The greatest market entry barrier of the SOFCs is their durability, and it has been shown [1] that their degradation is caused mainly by processes taking place in anode. A common anode material...

India was famed in literary and history accounts since Greek and Roman time for the traditional crucible steel. According to Will Durant, the technology passed to the Persians and from them to Arabs who spread it through the Middle East. In the 16th century, the Dutch carried the technology from South India to Europe, where it gave ride to steel mass production [1].
In this process, small...

The understanding of underlying physics of Meissner effect and flux trapping in type I superconductors is of great importance, both from fundamental and industrial research point of view [1]. In ideal type I superconductors, such as Lead (Pb) as investigated in the present study, is expected to exhibit complete expulsion of externally applied magnetic field. This behavior is independent of...
