We study the thermodynamic stability at low temperatures of a series of alkali-metal-zinc double-cation borohydrides, including LiZn(BH4)(3), LiZn2(BH4)(5), NaZn(BH4)(3), NaZn2(BH4)(5), KZn(BH4)(3), and KZn2(BH4)(5). While LiZn2(BH4)(5), NaZn(BH4)(3), NaZn ...
Phase equilibria in the Au-Cu-Ge ternary system, including the solid state phase relations at 450 degrees C as well as four vertical sections, were studied by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electron probe microanalysis (EPMA), X-ray diffracti ...
Nanowire (NW) crystal growth via the vapour-liquid-solid mechanism is a complex dynamic process involving interactions between many atoms of various thermodynamic states. With increasing speed over the last few decades many works have reported on various a ...
By combining methods of kinetic and density functional theory, we present a description of molecular fluids which accounts for their microscopic structure and thermodynamic properties as well as their hydrodynamic behavior. We focus on the evolution of the ...
Based on the original combination of picosecond acoustics and diamond anvils cell, recent improvements to accurately measure hypersonic sound velocities of liquids and solids under extreme conditions are described. To illustrate the capability of this tech ...
The high energy of hydrogen vibrations in solids is the origin of their strong impact on thermodynamic properties. The peculiar structure of complex hydrides amplifies this impact. We shed light on the vibrational properties of three allotropes of Ca(BH4)2 ...
Density functional theory calculations have been performed to provide details of the structural and charge-transfer details related to the solid solution of hydrogen in (delta)-plutonium. We follow the Flanagan model that outlines the process by which hydr ...
The internal structure of neutral 180 degrees domain walls in perovskite-type ferroelectrics is studied in terms of Landau theory taking into account electromechanical coupling. The study is focused on the wall bistability, a factor of potential interest f ...
The enthalpies of formation of the intermetallic compounds in the Ge-Ni binary system have been determined by calorimetric measurement and first-principles calculations. Based on the results obtained and information available in the literature, the phase d ...
Analytical ultracentrifugation (AUC) primarily serves to investigate hydrodynamic and thermodynamic properties of natural and synthetic macromolecules and colloids in solution, dispersion or suspension. Beside such more conventional use, AUC can support ma ...
