Large amplitude fluxional behaviour of elemental calcium under high pressure

Large amplitude fluxional behaviour of elemental calcium under high pressure

Experimental evidences are presented showing unusually large and highly anisotropic vibrations in the "simple cubic" (SC) unit cell adopted by calcium over a broad pressure ranging from 30-90 GPa and at temperature as low as 40 K. X-ray diffraction patterns show a preferential broadening of the (110) Bragg reflection indicating that the atomic displacements are not isotropic but restricted to t...

Competing phases, strong electron-phonon interaction, and superconductivity in elemental calcium under high pressure

The observed “simple cubic” sc phase of elemental Ca at room temperature in the 32–109 GPa range is, from linear-response calculations, dynamically unstable. By comparing first-principles calculations of the enthalpy for five sc-related nonclose-packed structures, we find that all five structures compete energetically at room temperature in the 40–90 GPa range, and three do so in the 100–130 GP...

در طی سالهای اخیراستفاده ازمنابع انرژی تجدید پذیر در شبکه های مدرن بنا به دلایل زیست محیطی و اقتصادی به طور گسترده استفاده شده است همچون نیروگاههای بادی و خورشیدی .ولتاژتولیدی این نیروگاهها اغلب به فرم dc می باشد وادوات الکترونیک قدرت به عنوان مبدل و پل بین شکل موج dc وac استفاده می شوند.این پروسه باعث ایجاد پالسهایی برروی شکل موج خروجی می شود که می تواند وارد تجهیزات قدرت همچون ترانسفورماتور ی...

High performance under pressure.

Nanomaterials under high-pressure.

The use of high-pressure for the study and elaboration of homogeneous nanostructures is critically reviewed. Size effects, the interaction between nanostructures and guest species or the interaction of the nanosystem with the pressure transmitting medium are emphasized. Phase diagrams and the possibilities opened by the combination of pressure and temperature for the elaboration of new nanomate...
