Manufactured single crystal components using Ni-base super alloys are routinely used in the hot sections of aero engines and industrial gas turbines due to their outstanding high temperature strength, toughness and resistance to degradation in corrosive and oxidative environments.

Co-crystals and co-amorphous systems are two strategies to improve the physical properties of an active pharmaceutical ingredient and, thus, have recently gained considerable interest both in academia and the pharmaceutical industry. In this study, the behavior of the recently identified sodium naproxen-lactose-tetrahydrate co-crystal and the co-amorphous mixture of sodium, naproxen, and lactos...

We report the simultaneous and selective synthesis of single-crystalline Co(n)Si NWs (n = 1-3) and their corresponding crystal structures--simple cubic (CoSi), orthorhombic (Co(2)Si), and face-centered cubic (Co(3)Si)--following a composition change. Co(n)Si NWs were synthesized by placing the sapphire substrates along a temperature gradient. The synthetic process is a successful demonstration ...

The structure of CO~ and CO monolayers adsorbed on MgO(100) single crystal surfaces has been determmed by both LEED and semi-empincal potential calculations. The CO~ overlayer forms a commensurate (2,é

We present X-ray photoelectron, Co $${{L}_{{2,3}}}$$ and O K absorption, as well $$K{{\beta }_{{1,3}}}$$ emission spectroscopy results of studies the spin states trivalent cobalt ions in single-crystal cobaltite LaCoO 3 . show that at room temperature, bulk a single crystal, 3+ are low-spin state, while high-spin 2+ , probably also intermediate-spin located on surface.

Single crystals of Co48Ni22Ga30 have been synthesized using a modified Bridgman method. The ability to solidify and retain single phase B2 austenite was found to depend not only on the starting composition and growth rate, but also the ability to maintain sufficiently high cooling rates to avoid the precipitation of a Co-rich FCC phase during post-solidification cooling. DSC measurements on the...

Reaction of cobalt(ii) and nickel(ii) thiocyanate with ethylisonicotinate leads to the formation of [M(NCS)2(ethylisonicotinate)2]n with M = Co (2-Co) and M = Ni (2-Ni), which can also be obtained by thermal decomposition of M(NCS)2(ethylisonicotinate)4 (M = Co (1-Co), Ni (1-Ni)). The crystal structure of 2-Ni was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The Ni(ii) cations are octahedral...

The temperature dependence of magneto-optical and magneto-photoconductivity measurements were carried out in the range of (200-330) K. A home made optical cryostat was used for the measurements. The measured room temperature value of the energy gap was found to be 2.211 eV. The temperature coefficient of energy gap was found to be -5.48×10-4 eV/K obtained by the optical absorption method and -4...

Treatment of [Pt{4'-(Ph)trpy}Cl]SbF(6) with AgSCN in a metathesis reaction in refluxing acetonitrile affords, after work-up, single crystals of [Pt{4'-(Ph)trpy}(NCS)]SbF(6)·CH(3)CN, where trpy is 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine. These crystals lose solvent to give single crystals of [Pt{4'-(Ph)trpy}(NCS)]SbF(6) (1). An X-ray crystal structure determination of 1 shows that the SCN(-) ion is N-bound and ...
