Hydration states of AFm cement phases

Karen Scrivener, Thomas Matschei, Mahsa Saeidpour

The AFm phase, one of the main products formed during the hydration of Portland and calcium aluminate cement based systems, belongs to the layered double hydrate (LDH) family having positively charged layers and water plus charge-balancing anions in the in ...

A critical evaluation of proxy methods used to estimate the acidity of atmospheric particles

Athanasios Nenes

Given significant challenges with available measurements of aerosol acidity, proxy methods are frequently used to estimate the acidity of atmospheric particles. In this study, four of the most common aerosol acidity proxies are evaluated and compared: (1) ...

We demonstrate experimentally that a part-per-million addition of Sn solutes in Al-Mg-Si alloys can inhibit natural aging and enhance artificial aging. The mechanism controlling the aging is argued to be vacancy diffusion, with solutes trapping vacancies a ...

Experimental study and thermodynamic description of the Au-Cu-Ge system

Christian Leinenbach, Shan Jin

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 ...

Resolving biodegradation patterns of persistent saturated hydrocarbons in weathered oil samples from the Deepwater Horizon disaster

Jeremy Samuel Arey, Jonas Gros

Biodegradation plays a major role in the natural attenuation of oil spills. However, limited information is available about biodegradation of different saturated hydrocarbon classes in surface environments, despite that oils are composed mostly of saturate ...

Numerical simulation of precipitation in multicomponent Ni-base alloys

Alain Jacot, Charles-André Gandin, Luc Rougier, Paolo Di Napoli

A comprehensive particle size distribution model has been developed for the simulation of gamma' precipitation in multicomponent Ni alloys. Nucleation, growth and coarsening of the precipitates are described by a particle size distribution. The growth rate ...

Advances in the theory of III-V nanowire growth dynamics

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 ...

Experimental investigation and thermodynamic modeling of the Au-Ge-Ni system

Christian Leinenbach, Shan Jin

Phase equilibria in the Au-Ge-Ni ternary system were studied by means of scanning electron microscopy, electron probe microanalysis, X-ray diffraction, and differential scanning calorimetry. The phase relations in the solid state at 600 A degrees C as well ...
