Promoting Persistent Superionic Conductivity in Sodium Monocarba-closo-dodecaborate NaCB11H12 via Confinement within Nanoporous Silica

Mirjana Dimitrievska

Superionic phases of bulk anhydrous salts based on large cluster-like polyhedral (carba)borate anions are generally stable only well above room temperature, rendering them unsuitable as solid-state electrolytes in energy-storage devices that typically oper ...

Phase stability, point defects, and elastic properties of W-V and W-Ta alloys

Nadine Baluc

The structure and phase stability of binary tungsten-vanadium and tungsten-tantalum alloys are investigated over a broad range of alloy compositions using ab initio and cluster expansion methods. The alloys are characterized by the negative enthalpy of mix ...

Deformation and Fracture Toughness of Two-Phase Titanium Aluminides

Nicolas Vincent Barbi

This thesis is an exploration of deformation and fracture properties of a novel two-phase α2 + γ Ti46Al8Ta (at.%) alloy featuring a "convoluted" microstructure, produced by partners within a European Union project named IMPRESS. Properties of this alloy ar ...

Molecular Mechanisms and Proposed Targets for Selected Anticancer Gold Compounds

Angela Casini

Nowadays, gold compounds constitute a family of very promising experimental agents for cancer treatment. Indeed, several gold(I) and gold(III) compounds were shown to manifest outstanding antiproliferative properties in vitro against selected human tumor c ...

Thioredoxin reductase: A target for gold compounds acting as potential anticancer drugs

Angela Casini

The thioredoxin system plays a key role in regulating the overall intracellular redox balance. It basically comprises the small redox protein thioredoxin (Trx), nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate, in its reduced form (NADPH), and thioredoxin reduc ...

Validation efforts for the neutronics of a plutonium-erbium-zirconium oxide inert matrix light water reactor fuel

Rakesh Chawla, Catherine Pralong

Light water reactor (LWR) neutronics codes and cross-section libraries need further qualification when used for the calculation of inert matrix fuel (IMF) cells. Three types of validation efforts have been undertaken for the PuO2-Er2O3-ZrO2 IMF concept und ...
