Melting Point Determination

چکیده
An improved technique is described for the accurate determination of melting points of metals in the temperature range 1500° to 2500°C. The improvements consist of gradient heating and refinements in cavity preparation to obtain true black-body conditions. The melting point of hafnium, as determined by this method, is set a t 22220-+30°C. This is over 200°C higher than one of the values reported earlier. Discrepancies in the previously reported values for the melting point of hafnium are explained. The melting points of zirconium and titanium are found to be 1855°-+150C and 1668°-+100C, respectively. Reproducibility of results was -+3OC.

Determination of pressure effect on the melting point elevation of Al nanoparticles encapsulated in Al2O3 without epitaxial interface
We report a quantitative measurement of the pressure effect on melting point elevation of encapsulated nanoparticles without epitaxial interfaces. By means of in situ x-ray diffraction, a substantial melting point elevation of about 15 K in encapsulated Al nanoparticles in Al2O3 shells without epitaxial interfaces was observed. Meanwhile, a pressure buildup of about 0.25 GPa on the Al nanoparti...
متن کاملSize-dependent melting behavior of iron nanoparticles by replica exchange molecular dynamics.
Using the replica-exchange molecular dynamics method (REMD), we have investigated the size dependence of the melting behavior of iron nanoparticles. Comparing to conventional molecular dynamics (MD), the REMD method is found to be very efficient in determining the melting point by avoiding superheating and undercooling phenomena. With accurate determination of the melting point, we find that th...
متن کاملA New Determination of the Melting Point of Palladium
The melting point of palladium was determined by measuring with an optical P3^rometer the ratio of brightness of the red light (X= 0.6528m) emitted by black bodies at the melting points of palladium and gold, respectively. The crucible method was shown to be more reliable than the wire method. Especial attention was given to the purity of the metals. The result obtained by the crucible method, ...
متن کاملAMINO ACIDS PROTOCOLS The use of native gels for the concomitant determination of protein sequences and modifications by mass spectrometry with subsequent conformational and functional analysis of native proteins following electro-elution
The protocol consists of running a native gel with in-gel digestion by proteases, subsequent mass spectrometrical determination of protein sequence and modifications, followed by electro-elution and conformational analysis using melting point and circular dichroism. Finally, the eluted protein is tested for preserved function. Herein, C1 esterase inhibitor is applied on a native gel; ingel dige...
