Superconductivity of Lanthanum and Some Lanthanum Alloys

Lanthanum carbonate

Lanthanum-Induced Gastrointestinal Histiocytosis

A patient with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on hemodialysis presented with fever, anorexia, and nausea shortly after starting oral lanthanum carbonate for phosphate control. Gastric and duodenal biopsies demonstrated diffuse histiocytosis with intracellular aggregates of basophilic foreign material. Transmission electron microscopy, an underutilized diagnostic test, revealed the nature of the...

Effects of lanthanum and lanthanum-modified clay on growth, survival and reproduction of Daphnia magna.

The novel lanthanum-modified clay water treatment technology (Phoslock seems very promising in remediation of eutrophied waters. Phoslock is highly efficient in stripping dissolved phosphorous from the water column and in intercepting phosphorous released from the sediments. The active phosphorous-sorbent in Phoslock is the Rare Earth Element lanthanum. A leachate experiment revealed that lanth...

Voltammetric Trace Determination of Lanthanum

Optimum conditions for the determination of lanthanum at sub μg level have been developed employing differential pulse polarography. A detection limit of 0.5μg/ml has been achieved. The method successfully been applied for analysis of lanthanum in industrial wastes.

Emergence of superconductivity at 45 K by lanthanum and phosphorus co-doping of CaFe2As2

Co-doping of lanthanum and phosphorus in CaFe₂As₂ induces superconductivity at 45 K. This superconducting transition temperature is higher than the 38 K transition in Ba₁-xKxFe₂As₂, which is the maximum found thus far among the 122 phases. Superconductivity with a substantial shielding volume fraction was observed at 0.12 ≤ x ≤ 0.18 and y = 0.06 in Ca₁-xLaxFe₂(As₁-yPy)₂. The superconducting pha...
