Calcium oxide (CaO) as carbon dioxide (CO2) adsorbent at the elevated temperature has been very well-received thus far. The CaO can be synthesized from natural calcium carbonate (CaCO3) sources through the reversible calcination-carbonation process. In the study, cockle shell has been selected as CaO precursors. The o…

Two-photon photoemission is used to identify the unoccupied dimer-bond state on the Si(001) surface at an energy 2.83 eV above the valence-band maximum. A strong resonance enhancement is found for excitation from the occupied dangling-bond state. The azimuthal and polarization dependence proves the orientation of the…

A systematic investigation of phase transitions in unmilled and milled LiBH4 has been performed by Pressurized Differential Scanning Calorimetry (PDSC). It was found that a large exotherm is present below the low temperature (LT) → high temperature (HT) phase transition. This exotherm is not caused by air contaminatio…
