Di-tert-butyl peroxide (DTBP) is widely used as modifier, cross-linking agent and polymerization initiator in industry although it is a reactive and exothermically unstable peroxide. So far, available thermal analyses were most based on DTBP in diluents. Thermal activities of pure DTBP (97% purity) were studied in thi…

We present results of an experimental study of magnetoresistance (MR) in insulating NbSi amorphous alloys sample showing Variable Range Hopping (VRH) conductivity. The MR is found to be negative in a wide range of low temperature (4.2-20 K) and in the range of moderate magnetic fields (0-4 T). We made tentative analys…
