Al–Ni–Er is an essential system in heat-resistant Al alloys. However, the aluminum-rich corner of this system, which has most practical application significance, not been fully studied. In work, phase equilibria are investigated via experiments and thermodynamic modeling. The isothermal sections Al-rich ternary at 600 700 °C were determined through equilibrated alloys combined with scanning ele...

The alkali nitrate mixtures are promising phase change materials (PCMs) in the temperature range (373?573) K for development of thermal storage systems. In this context, their thermochemical properties and diagrams which provide useful information needed better use. present paper, based on cesium nitrate, lithium sodium studied by both experimental optimization techniques. Thus, a critical anal...

Ever since the introduction of the Watson-Crick model, numerous efforts have been made to fully characterize the digital information content of the DNA. However, it became increasingly evident that variations of DNA configuration also provide an "analog" type of information related to the physicochemical properties of the DNA, such as thermodynamic stability and supercoiling. Hence, the paralle...

First-principles modeling, experimental, and thermodynamic methodologies were integrated to facilitate a fundamentally guided investigation of quaternary complex hydride compounds within the bialkali Na-Li-Al-H hydrogen storage system. The integrated approach has broad utility for the discovery, understanding, and optimization of solid-state chemical systems. Density functional theory ground-st...
