A series of V1?x-Fe-Co-Ni-Al1+x and V1?x-Fe-Co-Ni-Cu1+x high entropy alloys with varying compositions (0 ? x 0.75) has been investigated for magnetocaloric applications. Compositions were selected according to established properties, such as configurational entropy, atomic size difference, enthalpy mixing. To study the influence composition on magnetic ordering temperatures, V (Al/Cu) contents ...

A rigorous study of electrodeposited pure and mixed Ni/Fe oxides was performed in three different sodium hydroxide electrolytes with various Fe impurity concentrations (<1 ppb, 5 ppb and 102 ppb). The presence and concentration of the Fe impurities in the three electrolytes is determined by Inductive Coupled Plasma spectroscopy. The rationale for investigating the OER performance of the pure an...

A variation of the relative content of (Fe+Ni) versus Ni may be responsible for the observed scatter of Type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia) about a mean relation between their intrinsic brightness and the shape of their light curve. Synthetic light curves are computed of parametrised Chandrasekhar-mass explosion models of constant kinetic energy, where the ejecta are divided into an inner NSE zone, com...

High-throughput measurement using the numerical inverse method combined with the diffusion multiple technique was employed to determine the composition-dependent interdiffusion coefficients in fcc Al–Co–Cr–Fe–Ni high-entropy alloys at 1273, 1323, and 1373 K. The reliability of the obtained interdiffusion coefficients was confirmed by comparing the model-predicted composition/interdiffusion flux...

Described herein are preparations of synthetic models for the deactivated Ni(II)Fe(II) states of the [NiFe]-hydrogenases. Iodination of the S = ½ species [(dppe)Ni(pdt)Fe(CO)(3)](+) afforded the diamagnetic iodo complex [(dppe)Ni(pdt)IFe(CO)(3)](+). Crystallographic analysis of this species confirmed the presence of square-pyramidal Ni linked to an octahedral Fe centre. The NiFe separation of 3...

Using the method presented in Erspamer & North (2002, Paper I hereafter), detailed abundances of 140 stars are presented. The uncertainties characteristic of this method are presented and discussed. In particular, we show that for a S/N ratio higher than 200, the method is applicable to stars with a rotational velocity as high as 200 km s. There is no correlation between abundances and V sin i,...

Aerosols were monitored in Greater Copenhagen in the period June 1973 to July 1974. Size-fractionated cascade impactor samples and unfractionated filter samples were regularly collected and analyzed by neutron activation analysis, spark emission spectroscopy or proton-induced X-ray emission spectroscopy. Concentrations were determined of the following elements: Al, Si, S, Cl, K, Ca, Ti, V, Cr, ...

Yogurt, a traditional Turkish dairy product is common in all region of Turkey. The different heavy metals were determined in commercial yogurts by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer (ICP–OES). Concentrations of calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P), sodium (Na), magnesium (Mg), aluminum (Al), zinc (Zn), iron (Fe), copper (Cu), manganese (Mn), boron (B), molybdenum (Mo), cadmium (Cd...

Introduction: Isheyevo is a metal-rich carbonaceous chon-drite with metal-rich and metal-poor lithologies that are most similar to the CBb and CH chondrites, respectively [1]. All consist of similar components – Fe,Ni metal, chondrules, refractory inclusions, amoeboid olivine aggregates and heavily hydrated lithic clasts. We continued our investigation of these components of Isheyevo and found ...
