The thermal conductivity of stoichiometric CeO 2 was determined through measurement expansion from 313 to 1723 K, diffusivity 298 1473 and specific heat capacity 1373 K. then calculated as the product density, diffusivity, capacity. found obey an ( A + BT ) −1 relationship with = 6.776×10 −2 m·K·W B 2.793 × 10 −4 m·W . Extrapolations applied models were made provide suggested data for capacity, up Results measurements agreed well limited low‐temperature available in literature. values...
As the layer thicknesses in 90% Ni‐10% Cu multilayered alloys electrodeposited from a sulfamate bath are decreased, ultimate tensile strength peaks at 1100 MPa for 6–7 nm layers, and then decreases to about 1000 as thickness reaches 1 nm. This decrease deposit is associated with reduction (100) texture caused by influence of Cu, which has (110) preferred orientation system. The results suggest that highly coherent nanostructured multilayers can only be deposited single electrolyte if two metals same.
Nickel ferrite (NiFe 2 O 4 ) is a major constituent of the corrosion deposits formed on exterior nuclear fuel cladding tubes during operation. NiFe has attracted much recent interest, mainly due to impact these deposits, known as CRUD, operation commercial reactors. Although advances have been made in modeling CRUD nucleation and growth under wide range conditions, thermophysical properties at high temperatures only approximated, thereby limiting accuracy such models. In this study, samples...
Fundamental understanding of the electronic, chemical, and structural properties uranium oxides requires synthesis high-crystalline-quality epitaxial films different polymorphs one material or phases with various oxygen valence states. We report growth single-phase UO2, α-U3O8, α-UO3 thin using pulsed laser deposition. Both partial pressure substrate temperature play critical roles in determining crystal structure oxide films. X-ray diffraction Raman spectroscopy demonstrate that are single...
High‐quality specimens of sufficient thickness for reliable testing are needed if the enhanced properties observed ultrastructured multilayered metals to be understood and exploited. In present paper, factors affecting quality multilayers electrodeposited from a single electrolyte, via concerted modulation electrode potential electrolyte mass transport, discussed. The importance precise control during deposition more noble metal is emphasized. Results obtained by pulse technique show that Ni...
