The concentrations of Na, Mg, Al, S, Cl, K, Ca, Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Zn, As, Se Br, Rb, Sr, Zr, Mo, Ag, Sb, I, Cs, Ba, La, Sm, Eu, Tb, Yb, Hf, Ta, W, Au, Th and U in 6 types of marine macrophytes (algae and seagrass): Gelidium pusillum (Stackhouse) Le Jolis, Ulva intestinalis Linnaeus, Amphiroa rigida J.V. Lamouroux, Hypnea sp., Cystoseira sp. and Posidonia oceanica (L.) Delile (seagr...

In this contribution, the amounts of Ni (nickel) and Al (aluminum) in tilapias (Oreochromis niloticus) were determined using square wave voltammetry (SWV) with glassy carbon working microelectrode with a mercury thin film, platinum counter electrode, and Ag/AgCl reference electrode. Ni was studied through the formation of the dimethylglyoxime-Ni (Ni-DMG) complex, while Al was studied through th...

This work investigates the charge transfer and A1 (Ga) p-Ni d hybridization effects in the intermetallic Ni3Al (Ni3Ga) alloy using the Ni L3~and K-edge and Al (Ga) K x-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) measurements. We find that the intensity of white-line features at the Ni L3~-edge in the Ni3Al (Ni3Ga) alloy decreased in comparison with that of pure Ni, which can be attributed to the...

The investigation on the structures, stabilities, and magnetism of Ni(m) Al(n) (m = 1-3, n = 1-9) clusters has been made by using first principles. We found some new ground-state structures which had not been found before. These mixed species prefer to adopt three-dimensional (3D) structures starting from four atoms. All the ground-state structures for the Ni-Al clusters are different from thos...

An arc-sprayed amorphous Al–Ti–Ni coating on S355 structural steel was processed by laser remelting (LR) at powers of 600, 800, and 1000 W. The surface-cross-sectional morphologies, chemical element distributions, and phase compositions of the as-obtained Al–Ti–Ni coatings were analyzed using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy-dispersive spectrometer (EDS), and X-ray diffractometer (X...

A series of alloys containing 24-36 wt pct Cr and 13.5 – 25.0 wt pct Al was reacted with air at 1100 °C for 260 h. The products of isothermal reaction were scales of α-Al 2 O 3 plus small amounts of Cr 2 O 3 . These grew according to parabolic kinetics, interrupted by episodic weight losses caused by partial spallation. No nitridation occurred during the isothermal exposures. Reaction during th...
