Core and valence band XPS spectra were obtained from a lead metal foil. The XPS data were collected with a VSW HA150 spectrometer equipped with a monochromatic Al Kα x-ray source and multichannel detector. The sample is a high purity lead foil (99.99%) that was cleaned prior to data collection by Ar-ion sputtering. Th…

Anthropometric data for the purpose of spectacle frame design are scarce in the literature. Definitions of facial features to be measured with existing systems of facial measurement are often not specific enough for frame design and manufacturing. Currently, for individual frame design, experienced personnel collect d…

Abstract Luminous properties of a red phosphor, Eu–Y2O3 (Eu-doped Y2O3) have been studied by 89Y (nuclear spin 1/2)-static NMR. Pure Y2O3 showed an anisotropic pattern with the peak centered at 299 ppm assigned to the Y atom in the site, where none of the 12 nearest neighbouring Y atoms are substituted by an Eu atom.…

Abstract A comparative study of NO and N2O decomposition over Cu/ZSM-5 and Cu/Y zeolites with various Cu loading levels has been carried out at 523—823 K. The Arrenhius plot of NO decomposition tended to level off above 773 K, as reported in the literature, while that of N2O decomposition was linear. It was noted that…

The structure and formation mechanisms of low-angle grain boundaries (LAGB) in chlorite have been investigated using HRTEM to resolve each cation sheet in chlorite. The LAGB are abundant in two hydrothermally formed ferromagnesian chlorite specimens. Abundant LAGB, which are almost parallel to (001), divide chlorite g…

The room‐temperature tensile strengths of chemically‐vapor‐deposited SCS‐6 silicon carbide fibers were measured after 1 to 400 h heat treatments in 0.1 MPa of argon at temperatures up to 2100°C. The fibers heat‐treated for 1 h above 1400°C and those heat‐treated for 400 h above 1300°C showed strength degradation. Scan…

A series of Mo/TiO2 catalysts was prepared by equilibrium adsorption from aqueous solutions of (NH4)6Mo7O24 by varying the pH of the solution from 9.8 to 4. The Mo loading increases from 0.8 to 3.6 wt.% as the pH of preparation decreases. The surface coverage of the calcined catalysts was monitored by CO2 chemisorptio…

Barium titanate ceramic samples of four different average grain sizes from 0.5 µm to 20 µm were studied by means of the ac calorimetric method. The ferroelectric-to-paraelectric transition temperature decreased with decreasing grain size. The temperature dependence of heat capacity showed hysteresis during a heating/c…
