The aim of the Journal of Alloys and Compounds is identical to the journal aim under its previous title: Journal of the Less-Common Metals. The journal was originally intended to serve as an international medium for the publication of work on the physical sciences of usually called less-common...
The phenomenon of corrosion of metals including Fe, Al, Cu, Zn, Mg and their alloys is controlled to a great extent by selection of highly corrosion resistant inhibitors. The associated cost factor favors the use of cheap metallic materials along with efficient corrosion prevention methods in ...
A maximum power factor of 614 µW/mK2 is observed for the sample doped at 1.5 wt% Ni at 573 K. The lattice distortion and point defects caused by Ni substitution generated additional phonon scattering centers, resulting in a substantial decrease in thermal conductivity. The sample doped with...
A small value of series resistance 1 Ω cm2 along with high shunt resistance 100,000 Ω cm2 is incorporated from the initial condition. The solar cell characteristics obtained are as open circuit voltage 1.10 V, short circuit current density 26.03 mA/cm2, fill factor 86.62% and device power...
The anti-impact performance of TiN films displayed a close relationship with both hardness and H3/E2 ratio, in which a high enough hardness was the prerequisite of outstanding impact resistance, and H3/E2 ratio was an important factor affecting the damage mechanism. As the H3/E2 ratio decreased...
It is found that the crystallinity of Ag interlayer films increased with the thickness. The results demonstrated that the Ag interlayer thickness was an essential factor for the photoelectric properties of these tri-layer thin films. The ... G Yan,L Zhang,R Hong - 《Journal of Materials Scienc...
As such, the strength of hydrogen binding on Pd, which decreases with increasing hydronium ion concentration (i.e., 2 kJ molH2−1 per unit pH), is a decisive factor in hydrogenation kinetics (rate constant +270%). In comparison, furfural adsorption on Pd is pH-independent, maintaining...
Graphene-based aerogels (GA) have a high potential in the biomedical engineering field due to high mechanical strength, biocompatibility, high porosity, an
The crystallite size (D) of magnetron sputtered thin films of copper oxide was calculated using the Scherrer formula [40]:(1)D=kλBcosθwhere: k = 0.89 (close to unity) is the shape factor, λ– the CuKα1 X-ray radiation wavelength, B – full width at half maximum intensity of ...
operation of the EAF. It is worth noting the scrap ratio in the feed sent to the EAF is an important contributing factor to GWP69as this stream is already in its metallic state and does not need to be pre-reduced in a DRI furnace. In developed countries, the feed can reach up to ...
