Dielectric function of six elemental metals

Ab initio work function of elemental metals.

Surface energy and work function of elemental metals.

Calculated stacking-fault energies of elemental metals.

Electron mean free path in elemental metals

The electron mean free path k and carrier relaxation time s of the twenty most conductive elemental metals are determined by numerical integration over the Fermi surface obtained from first-principles, using constant k or s approximations and wave-vector dependent Fermi velocities vf (k). The average vf deviates considerably from the free-electron prediction, even for elements with spherical Fe...

Explosion Temperatures of Metals and Other Elemental Dust Clouds

The Pittsburgh Research Laboratory of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health conducted a study of the explosibility of various metals and other elemental dusts dispersed in air, with a focus on the experimental explosion temperatures. The data are useful for understanding the basics of dust cloud combustion, as well as for evaluating the explosion hazards in the minerals and ...
