Nonmetal elements strictly govern the electrochemical performance of molybdenum
compounds. Yet, the exact role played by nonmetals during electrocatalysis remains largely …

In general, there is a trade-off between magnetization and coercivity in nanocomposite
magnets. Here, we demonstrate a simultaneous enhancement of both the magnetization …

Research on disilicide nanocomposites, as modern materials with promising technological
applications, is very desirable in these days. Our ab initio analysis concentrates on the C11 …

A high number density (∼ 10 23 m− 3) of α-Fe nanocrystals with a size below 10 nm has
been induced in amorphous Nd 9 Fe 85 B 6 by high-pressure torsion deformation (HPTD) at …

The selective oxidation of alcohols is an important chemical process with many potential
applications in fine-chemical synthesis, however, the catalysts reported so far generally …

Using positron annihilation measurements we observed the formation of thermal vacancies
in highly As and P doped Si. The vacancies start to form at temperatures as low as 650 K …

Positron lifetime measurements have been made on a series of polycrystalline metals with
atomic numbers varying from 13 to 82, using positron sources deposited on Ni, Al, and …

New slurry cementation method was used to produce silicide and silicide-aluminide
protective coatings on molybdenum alloy (TZM). The slurry cementation processes were …

The electronic structure and point defect concentrations of C11 b MoSi 2 were studied
systematically by the first-principles calculations based on density functional theory. Mo …

To lower the L 1 0 ordering temperature of FePt thin films, a detailed understanding of the
nucleation and growth processes of L 1 0 ordered domains is of particular importance. In the …
