Ab initio calculations of the melting curve of molybdenum for the pressure range 0-400 GPa are reported. The calculations employ density functional theory (DFT) with the Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof exchange-correlation functional in the projector augmented wave (PAW) implementation. Tests are presented showing that these techniques accurately reproduce experimental data on low-temperature body-cente...

Nanomedicine is the relevance of nanotechnology in the area of healthcare, diagnosis of disease, cure and prevention of disease. Nanotechnology covers the diverse area of matters at dimensions between approximately 1 to 100 nanometers. Nanotechnology has enormous applications in drug delivery field. Nano drug delivery systems can reduce the drug consumption and side-effects by lowering the depo...

INTRODUCTION Previous work on crystal nucleation in one-component melts has largely been confined to molecular liquids or metals. Molecular liquids have been studied in bulk", and in the form of clouds of droplets produced by condensation in supersaturated vapourv". Metals have also been studied in bulk 7, 8, and as droplets of microscopic size. These were produced either singly by melting smal...

Alloys of platinum and rhodium are extensively used in thermocouples for high-temperature measurement and as clean and inert heating elements in experimental high-temperature furnaces. The phase diagram for the Pt-Rh system is inadequately characterized.[1] The liquidus has been measured by Müller[2] and Acken.[3] The results have been normalized using more recent values for the melting points ...
