Investigation of Ti1-xMoxCoSb Semiconducting Solid Solution

Theory of the ferromagnetism in Ti1-xCrxN solid solutions

First-principles calculations are used to investigate the magnetic properties of Ti 1−x Cr x N solid solutions. We show that the magnetic interactions between Cr spins that favor antiferromagnetism in CrN is changed upon alloying with TiN leading to the appearance of ferromagnetism in the system at approximately x Յ 0.50 in agreement with experimental reports. Furthermore we suggest that this e...

Semiconducting Behavior of Carbon Steel in Electrolyte Solution

In this paper, the semiconducting behavior of carbon steel in acid, base and salt solutions was studied by utilizing potential-capacitance and Mott-Schottky analysis. It was pointed out that the capacitance variation of space charge layer of carbon steel in different solution was different. The carbon steel showed p-type semiconducting behavior in 5% sulfuric acid and 5% sodium sulfate solution...

The Solid Solution

The monoclinic silicates Lu2SiO5 and Sc2SiO5 (Y2SiO5 type, space groupC2/c) form a solid solution Lu2−xScxSiO5. Samples with x = 0.5, 0.8, 1.0 were synthesized ceramically from Lu2O3, Sc2O3, and SiO2. The structures of three crystals with x = 0.88, 0.77, and 0.50 were refined on the basis of single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. The rare earth (RE) atoms occupy two crystallographically differe...
