The conventional ceramic route was utilized to prepare a hard magnetic powder (M-type strontium ferrite, SrFe12O19). The stoichiometric mixture of iron oxide and strontium carbonate were calcined at 1000C and then fired at various temperatures. The influence of various reaction parameters such as mixing ratio, calcination temperature, firing temperature and firing time on the magnetic behaviors...

– The lattice parameters of tetragonal strontium titanate are determined to about 1 part in 10 with penetrating X-rays. While no peculiarity is detected in a bulk sample, a distinct anomaly at 37K is observed in an optically polished thin platelet derived from the same single crystal. This suggests that the anomaly is related to a high density of dislocations. A possible mechanism is that dislo...

Nanopowders of strontium fluoroapatite Sr5(PO4)3F (SFAP) were synthesized using a co-precipitation method with different starting compounds. Based on the data XRD, BET and SEM measurements, nitrate-derived powders chosen as least agglomerated. The SFAP hot pressed at 1000 °C to ceramic samples transmittance up 82% in mid-IR region. designed approach was adopted prepare 2 mol % Er-doped ceramics...

The Charpy impact energy of A356 alloys has been measured. Instrumented Charpy impact tests have been conducted at 25, 100, 150, and 200 ~ The Charpy specimens were machined from plate castings or tapered cylindrical castings. The plates were produced in sand molds, and tapered cylinders were produced in water-cooled copper molds. Both unmodified and strontium-modified castings were tested. The...

Poly (2-hydroxy ethyl) methacrylate (PHEMA) is a polymer that can be carboxymethylated to induce calcification on its surface. This mimics the calcification of bone matrix since the polymer surface induces the deposit of large hydroxyapatite calcospherites. We investigated the effect of Sr on hydroxyapatite crystals developed on PHEMA pellets. Pellets were incubated for 1 week in a synthetic bo...

Abundance ratios relative to iron for carbon, nitrogen, strontium and barium are presented for a metal-rich main sequence star ([Fe/H]=–0.74) in the globular cluster ω Centauri. This star, designated 2015448, shows depleted carbon and solar nitrogen, but more interestingly, shows an enhanced abundance ratio of strontium [Sr/Fe]≈1.6 dex, while the barium abundance ratio is [Ba/Fe]≤0.6 dex. At th...

This paper presents a development of a new biokinetic model for strontium, which accounts for age and gender differences of metabolism in humans. This model was developed based on the long-term follow-up of the residents living on the banks of the Techa River (Southern Urals, Russia) contaminated with Sr in 1950-1956. The new model uses the structure of ICRP model for strontium but model parame...

Water introduced to surface drainages, such as agricultural and roadway runoff, mine drainage, or coalbed natural gas (CBNG)-produced water, potentially can be of environmental concern. In order to mitigate potential environmental effects, it may be important to be able to trace water discharged to the surface as it infiltrates and interacts with near-surface aquifers. We have chosen to study w...

In review the possibility of biomaterials osseointegration improvement with help of bisphosphonates or strontium ranelate is discussed. For this purpose, they are added to hydroxyapatite used for implants coating, or are included as a component of bulk calcium phosphate materials. Strontium is employed as a compound of biodegradable metal alloys, also. Combined use of carrier (implant) with bis...
