An irreversible conductor-insulator transition has been observed when heating Mg2NiH4 in the temperature interval 110 to 570 K. The disappearance of the electric conductivity is concomitant with the appearance of stacking faults (or microtwinning) in the Mg2NiH4 structure, as observed by powder x-ray diffraction. Howe…

The Debye theory of dielectric relaxation of an assembly of polar molecules is reformulated using a fractional noninertial Fokker–Planck equation for the purpose of extending that theory to explain anomalous dielectric relaxation. The fractional Fourier–Planck equation in question is a generalization of the Smoluchows…

Abstract Colored fibers can be intimately blended in suitable proportions to achieve a specific color. This kind of formulation suffers from a lack of computer‐aided tool to assist the colorist attempting to find a good recipe to reproduce a target color. In this article a color‐matching system based on the theoretica…

Ab initio total-energy density functional theory is used to investigate the low temperature (LT) monoclinic form of Mg2NiH4. The calculated minimum energy geometry of LT Mg2NiH4 is close to that determined from neutron diffraction data, and the NiH4 complex is close to a regular tetrahedron. The enthalpies of the phas…
