Nowadays, the production in fine chemical and pharmaceutical industry is mostly carried out in large scale batch reactors having typically dimensions of a few meters to satisfy the demand of the market. Even though this technology has been widely used and ...
We report the synthesis, structure, and physical properties of single crystals of CePt2In7. Single crystal x-ray diffraction analysis confirms the tetragonal I4/mmm structure of CePt2In7 with unit cell parameters a = 4.5886(6) Å, c = 21.530(6) Å and V = 45 ...
The anal. of potential energy surfaces of ion pairs within the framework of an anharmonic oscillator model allows rationalization and prediction of m.ps. (Tmp) and heat capacities (Cp) of ionic liqs. (ILs) comprising di- and trialkylimidazolium or tetraalk ...
We report on magnetization and specific heat measurements on single-crystalline CuTe2O5. The experimental data are directly compared to theoretical results for two different spin structures, namely an alternating spin-chain and a two-dimensional (2D) coupl ...
Plasmonic nanostructures can significantly advance broadband visible-light absorption, with absorber thicknesses in the sub-wavelength regime, much thinner than conventional broadband coatings. Such absorbers have inherently very small heat capacity, hence ...
We report the structural transformation of hexagonal Ba3YIr2O9 to a cubic double perovskite form (stable in ambient conditions) under an applied pressure of 8 GPa at 1273 K. While the ambient pressure synthesized sample undergoes long-range magnetic orderi ...

The predictive capacity of a physically based snow model to simulate point-scale, subcanopy snowmelt dynamics is evaluated in a mixed conifer forest, southern Sierra Nevada, California. Three model scenarios each providing varying levels of canopy structur ...
Phonon frequency and linewidth as well as quasielastic scattering due to spin energy fluctuations are used to evaluate the evolution of spin correlations in a spin chain system with considerable interchain coupling. In the compound CuSe2O5 these interactio ...
Due to the viscoelastic properties of bituminous concrete, temperature changes result in significant mechanical effects. This paper proposes a method to assess, first, the intrinsic thermophysical parameters (thermal conductivity and heat capacity) of a bi ...
