Bifunctional catalysts formed by metals (nickel, platinum as well as an association of both metals) supported in an ultrastabilized Y molecular sieve (USY) were prepared. The samples were obtained using a competitive ion exchange method, followed by calcination and reduction of the transition metal under hydrogen atmo…

Two cast g titanium aluminides, Ti47Al and Ti50Al (at. %), were obtained by arc melting under an argon atmosphere. The as-cast microstructure modification by annealing under protective argon atmosphere and hot isostatic pressing (HIP) was analysed by optical and scanning electron microscopy with microanalysis faciliti…

The aim of this work was to study the hydrothermal synthesis of Si and SiAlMCM-41 performed under both autogenic pressure and refluxing conditions. XRD data showed that the MCM-41 phase may be formed by both processes and that the synthesized material in the presence of Al and/or under reflux presents the hexagonally…

This approach assumes three functions independently acting on a set of microparticles. The first one, w1, concerns re-distribution of mass to decrease the surface energy. The second one, w2, concerns re-distribution of mass to increase the entropy of the microparticle set. The third one, w3, is a further re-distributi…

The temperature dependence of the yield stress T c of four bcc transition metals α-Fe, Nb, Mo and Ta, and an alkali metal K as well, follows a scaling relation of T c/T p against kT/b 3(TpKT)½, where T p is the Peierls stress, b the length of the Burgers vector and K T the line tension factor for a screw dislocation c…

Many chemical and physical methods, such as plasma, e-beam, sputtering, CVD and others, have been used to modify the structure of polymer surfaces by depositing thin inorganic films. Most of these techniques are based upon the use of high energy sources that ultimately can damage either chemically or physically polyme…

We present a model for the motion of hard spherical particles on a two-dimensional surface. The model includes both the interaction between the particles via collisions and the interaction of the particles with the substrate. We analyze in detail the effects of sliding and rolling friction, which are usually overlooke…

The conventional 1 M NH 4 OAc‐exchangeable potassium (K + ) soil test is inadequate in soils where nonexchangeable K + contributes significantly to crop nutrition. Studies were conducted (i) to compare the abilities of the 1 M NH 4 OAc method with a modified NaBPh 4 method to estimate critical soil K + levels, (ii) to…

Due to the ubiquitous presence of a Berry phase, in most cases of dynamical Jahn-Teller systems the symmetry of the vibronic ground state is the same as that of the original degenerate electronic state. As a single exception, the linear H x h icosahedral model, relevant to the physics of C60 cations, is determined by…

The correlation between the spin polarization of the tunneling current in ferromagnet/Al2O3/Al tunnel junction experiments and the magnetic moment in ferromagnets has been a mystery [Phys. Rev. B 16, 4907 (1977) and Phys. Rep. 238, 173 (1994)]. In this study, an attempt is made to explain this correlation. By assuming…
