Abstract The corrosion inhibition of aluminium in alkaline medium was studied at 30 and 40°C in the presence of polyethylene glycol (PEG) using gravimetric (weight loss) and thermometric techniques. The effect of halides (KCl, KBr, and KI) on the inhibitory action of PEG was also studied. It was found that PEG acted a…

We have employed ab initio molecular dynamics simulations in an attempt to study a temperature-induced order-disorder structural phase transformation that occurs in ${\text{Li}}_{2}\text{NH}$ at about 385 K. A structural phase transition was observed by us in the temperature range 300--400 K, in good agreement with ex…

In this work, the double‐loop‐like characteristics of K 0.5 Na 0.5 NbO 3 + x mol% K 5.4 Cu 1.3 Ta 10 O 9 ceramic and its relationships with the transition temperature, aging, and switching have been investigated. Our results reveal that the phase transition temperature is an important parameter determining the aging r…

Hollow γ-MnO 2 nanocones are synthesized by precipitation in water at 95 °C through a “one-pot” procedure. Characterization of the particles is carried out using powder XRD, electron diffraction, FESEM, and TEM. The hexagonal-shaped base is shown to originate from specific {021} twinning. The growth mechanism is inves…

The use of PZT films in sliver-mode high-frequency ultrasonic transducers applications requires thick, dense, and crack-free films with excellent piezoelectric and dielectric properties. In this work, PZT composite solutions were used to deposit PZT films >10 μm in thickness. It was found that the functional propertie…

Crystallographic work on transition metal complexes at high pressure has been used broadly either to explore intra- and inter-molecular potentials, or to modify the properties of functional materials. In the former category, it has been shown that high-pressure alters intermolecular interactions, such as hydrogen bond…
