Relativity and Magnetism in Ni-Pd and Ni-Pt Alloys
نویسنده
چکیده
We show that the differences in the magnetic properties of Ni-Pd and Ni-Pt alloys arise mainly due to relativity. In particular, we find that the local magnetic moment of Ni increases with the addition of Pd in Ni-Pd while it decreases with the addition of Pt in Ni-Pt, as found experimentally, only if relativity is present. Our analysis is based on the effects of relativity on (i) the spin-polarized densities of states of Ni, (ii) the splitting of majority and minority spin d-band centers of Ni, and (iii) the separation between s-d band centers of Pd and Pt in Ni-Pd and Ni-Pt alloys.

Polymerized-complex method for preparation of supported bimetallic alloy and monometallic nanoparticles.
Herein, we report a novel polymerized-complex method for the preparation of Ni-Pd, Ni-Pt, and Cu-Pt alloys and Pt, Pd, Ag, Ni, and Cu nanoparticles. The grain sizes and crystalline phases of these nanoparticles can be controlled. These nanoparticles are obtained via the formation of a polymerized complex and release of reducing gases during N2-protected calcination.
متن کاملConfirming the Composition of Shape Memory Alloys by Microstructural Characterization
It is well known that the properties of shape memory alloys, such as binary Ni-Ti (nitinol), are very sensitive to composition.[1-3] Especially on the Ni-rich side of stoichiometry, the martensite/austenite phase transformation temperature decreases abruptly when Ni is increased only a few tenths of a weight percent.[4] In ternary high temperature shape memory alloys (HTSMAs) containing Pt, Pd,...
متن کاملLead-Free Soldering – Where The World Is Going
Lead-free soldering for electronic industry is a segment of global trend toward lead-free environment. Although initiated in U.S. in early 1990’s, it advanced much more rapidly in Japan and Europe. This differentiation in Pb-free progress triggered great concerns of users of Pb-containing solders about maintaining business opportunity, therefore further expedites the advancement of Pb-free sold...
متن کاملA comparing study on the evolution of Pd/Ni (10 0) and Pt/Ni(10 0) heteroepitaxial systems
Molecular dynamics simulations are performed to study the strain relief and the evolution of Pd/ Ni(10 0) and Pt/Ni(10 0) heteroepitaxial systems by using embedded atom method. The atomistic mechanism for the formation of misfit dislocation in Pd/Ni(10 0) and Pt/Ni(10 0) epitaxial islands is analyzed by comparing the evolution behaviors of the two systems. The simulation results reveal that the...
متن کاملA Density Functional Theory Investigation of d8 Transition Metal(II) (Ni, Pd, Pt) Chloride Complexes of Some Vic-dioximes Derivatives
Herein, a theoretical study on the stability of some vic-dioxime complexes of Ni(II), Pd(II) and Pt(II) in gas and aqueous phases is reported. The DFT/M06/SDD and DFT/M06/6-31G+(d,p) levels of theory were adopted for the metal ions and for every other element respectively. Structural analyses of investigated complexes have revealed square planar geometries stabilized by two O–H⋯Cl hydrogen bond...
