Relative permittivity studies of ceramics with a variety of compositions in the BaTiO 3 -BaZrO 3 -CaTiO 3 system showed some of them to be ferroelectric relaxors at temperatures close to 295 K. Such a favourable effect is due to the Ca 2+ for Ba 2+ cationic substitution. In addition a spontaneous classical ferroelectr…

Gold catalysts supported on iron oxide have been characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Depending on the method of preparation and pretreatment, different gold species have been detected on the catalyst surface. In the absence of thermal treatment, the XPS spectra of the impregnated samples show the…

Manganese compounds have many applications in areas such as catalysis, electrochemistry, and metallurgy, among others. Distinguishing between the various chemical states of manganese is an important aspect of research in many of these areas. It has been shown that the different chemical states of manganese can be iden…

Reduction of aqueous NiSO 4 , CoSO 4 and CuSO 4 with hydrazine has been investigated systematically to obtain ultrafine powders of pure nickel and cobalt, and of nickel–cobalt and nickel–copper alloys. The results show that the pH value and the temperature are the key factors to influence the reactions. When pH ≥ 10.0…

An efficient local equation-of-motion method is introduced for calculations of the mean-square half-path-length fluctuations ${\ensuremath{\sigma}}_{j}^{2}$ in multiple-scattering x-ray-absorption fine-structure Debye-Waller factors in aperiodic systems. Given a few local force constants, the method yields ${\ensurema…

Pulsed neutron diffraction investigations have been performed in the ferroelectric PZT system (PbZr 1- x Ti x O 3 ) doped with 1 wt% of Nb 2 O 5 , as a function of both temperature and composition. The study has been made in a wide range of temperatures encompassing the three known phases in Zr-rich PZT: ferroelectric…

We have extended our previous kinetic model for the Thermal De-NOx Process to include recent information about the branching fraction α1(T) of the NH2 + NO reaction, NH2 + NO ⟷ N2 + H2O (R1a) NH2 + NO ⟷ NNH + OH, (R1b)where α1(T) = k1b/(k1a + k1b). The values of the rate coefficients k1a(T) and k1b(T) used in the mode…
