The first part of this study consists in the investigation of the evaporation and the condensation rate of H2O in the presence of different types of ice in a low pressure flow reactor. The second part of the present work reports the study of chlorine activ ...
Hydrogenation of C60 at 2 GPa and 723-823 K was performed with thermal decompn. of LiAlH4 as a hydrogen source. Anal. of hydrogenation products showed that the method can produce not only C60H36, but also hydrofullerides C60Hx with 44 < x < 52. Unlike othe ...
The cationic organometallic aqua complexes formed by hydrolysis of [(C 6H6)RuCl2]2 in water, mainly [(C6H6)Ru(H2O)3]2+, intercalate into sodium hectorite by ion exchange, replacing the sodium cations between the anionic silicate layers. The yellow hectorit ...
In the national and worldwide context, countless reinforced concrete structures are in an advanced state of deterioration. A principal cause of such degradation is chloride induced corrosion of reinforcement bars. This phenomenon is accentuated in countrie ...
Initial surface reaction mechanism for atomic layer deposition of HfO2 on the hydroxylated GaAs(001)-4x2 surface using HfCl4 and H2O as precursors is investigated using hybrid density functional theory. The reaction between HfCl4 and H2O with the hydroxyla ...
A new technology based on a combination of Al-protection layers and HF-vapor etching to produce ultrathin single crystal silicon cantilevers is presented. 500 um long, 10 um wide and 0.5 um thick cantilevers have been fabricated with a high yield. A resona ...
The present invention relates to a method of producing hydrogen gas and carbon dioxide in a catalytic reaction from formic acid, said reaction being conducted in an aqueous solution over a wide temperature range and already at room temperature (25 DEG C). ...
The thermal decomposition of alane was investigated by application of synchrotron X-ray diffraction (SR-XRD) and thermal desorption spectroscopy (TDS). Two polymorphs were studied, α- and γ-AlH3. Activation energies, anisotropic volume expansions, and phas ...
The integration of shear-thickening fluids (STFs) into composite structures has been investigated with the aim of tuning part stiffness and damping capacity under dynamic deformation. Results from oscillatory rheological measurements for a STF based on con ...
We carried out an ab initio molecular dynamics simulation of liquid hydrogen. chloride (l-HCl) at a temperature of 313 K. Comparison with inelastic neutron scattering data shows that the simulation achieves an overall good description of the structural cor ...
