With a first principles method, we have investigated the rhombohedral distortion effects on the electronic structure of LaCoO3. Fixed spin moment calculations show two local minima—a non-magnetic and a ∼1.3μB magnetic state. The energy difference between these states is sensitive to the rhombohedral distortion. The Ge…

Das hässliche Entlein wird zum Schwan: Viele Organismen bilden ihre kristalline Mineralphase durch Sekundärnukleation sphärischer amorpher Nanoteilchen. Stabile amorphe Calciumcarbonat-Biomineralien wurden verwendet, um eine ähnliche Umwandlung in vitro auszulösen. Die amorphen Nanosphären gingen eine Festphasenumwand…

Effects of alumina-leached coal fly ash residue (ACFAR) on magnesium oxychloride (MOC) cement are comprehensively investigated. The results show that the addition of ACFAR delayed the setting time of MOC paste. The compressive strength, the flexural strength and the water resistance of MOC are improved by the incorpor…
