In situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was used to characterise Cu/Mg/Al mixed oxides derived from hydrotalcites (catalyst used for the NOx removal reaction). The active sites are the copper centres: (i) Cu(0) for NO decomposition and (ii) Cu(0) and/or Cu(I) for NO reduction with a hydrocarbon. The ability of these…

The Thermally Stimulated Discharge Current (TSDC) technique is widely used for the study of main and secondary dielectric relaxations in polymers. The TSD current is described by different equations that can be arranged in a unique three-parameters (the activation energy W, A and B) general form. The physical meaning…

It is found that a single icosahedral quasicrystalline phase is formed as a primary precipitation phase in the melt-spun Zr70Pd30 binary glassy alloy with a two-stage crystallization process. The onset temperature of the transformation from the amorphous to the icosahedral phase is 701 K at the heating rate of 0.67 K…

The early stage of the morphology development has been studied for the blending of two immiscible polymers. Controlled experiments were carried out in a batch mixer in such a way that the rate of melting was low enough to follow up the morphology development of dilute and concentrated systems. For a dilute or semidilu…

The global minima of clusters bound by a Dzugutov potential form non-compact polytetrahedral clusters mainly composed of interpenetrating and face-sharing 13-atom icosahedra. As the size increases, these icosahedral units first form linear arrays, then two-dimensional rings, then three-dimensional networks. Characteri…
