We report the first Fe isotopic anomalies and the first Ni isotopic ratio measurements in presolar SiC grains of separate KJG from the Murchison meteorite. With NanoSIMS, we analyzed Fe and Ni in 37 X grains from Type II supernovae and 53 SiC grains of other types. TheNi/Fe and Co/Fe ratios in grains of all types aremuch higher than in the gas from which the grains are believed to have condense...

We present high resolution, high SNR spectra of the QSO Q2206-199 obtained with HIRES on the 10m W.M. Keck Telescope. Our analysis focuses on the two previously identified damped Lyα systems found at z = 1.920 and z = 2.076. For the z = 1.920 system, we measure accurate abundances (relative to solar) for Fe, Cr Si, Ni, Ti, and Zn: [Fe/H] = −0.705 ± 0.097, [Cr/H] = −0.580 ± 0.100, [Si/H] = −0.40...

Binary and ternary separations of heavy metals, e.g. Zn–Bi, Mn–Pb, Cd–Pb, Mn–Bi–Mo, and Cr–Pb–Bi on columns of titanium(IV) tungstosilicate and Zn–Ni, Mo–Pb, Hg–Pb, Zn–Cr–Bi, and Zn–Ni–Bi on titanium(IV) tungstophosphate, have been demonstrated. The adsorption and elution of important metal ions such as Mo, Al, and As on titanium(IV) tungstosilicate and Hg, Fe, and Cr on titanium(IV) tungstopho...

The cold metal transfer (CMT) welding-brazing process was chosen to join Al alloy and Ni-coated steel using AlSi12 as the filler wire. macrostructure microstructure of joints were tested by an optical microscope (OM), scanning electron (SEM), energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD). tensile properties corrosion also tested. results showed that Ni coating could improve wett...

Carbon monoxide (CO) is commonly known as a toxic gas, yet both cultivation studies and emerging genome sequences of bacteria and archaea establish that CO is a widely utilized microbial growth substrate. In this study, we determined the prevalence of anaerobic carbon monoxide dehydrogenases ([Ni,Fe]-CODHs) in currently available genomic sequence databases. Currently, 185 out of 2887, or 6% of ...

The reaction of NiBr(2)(EtOH)(4) with a 1:2-3 mixture of FeBr(2)(CO)(4) and Na(SPh) generated a linear trinuclear Fe-Ni-Fe cluster (CO)(3)Fe(mu-SPh)(3)Ni(mu-SPh)(3)Fe(CO)(3), 1, whereas the analogous reaction system FeBr(2)(CO)(4)/Na(S(t)Bu)/NiBr(2)(EtOH)(4) (1:2-3:1) gave rise to a linear tetranuclear Fe-Ni-Ni-Fe cluster [(CO)(3)Fe(mu-S(t)Bu)(3)Ni(mu-Br)](2), 2. By using this tetranuclear clus...

First-principles calculations of the energy of various crystal structures of Fe, Ni and ordered Fe–Ni compounds with different stoichiometries have been performed by the linearized augmented plane wave (LAPW) method in the generalized gradient approximation. The most stable compounds are L12–Ni3Fe, L10–FeNi, C11f–Ni2Fe and C11f–Fe2Ni. The L12–Ni3Fe compound has the largest negative formation en...

Catalytic combustion of hydrocarbons is an important technology to produce energy. Compared to conventional flame combustion, the catalyst enables this process to operate at lower temperatures; hence, reducing the energy required for efficient combustion. The reaction and activation energies of direct combustion of hydrocarbons (CH → C + H) on a series of metal surfaces were investigated using ...

In this paper, we studied the relation between the micronutrient and gestational diabetes. Therefore, we measured micronutrient concentration including Ni, Al, Cr, Mg, Fe, Zn, Cu, and Se in serum of women with gestational diabetes between 24 and 28 weeks of gestational age (study group) who had inclusion criteria and comparison with micronutrient levels in normal pregnant women with same gestat...

The spin and orbital moments for small Fe clusters deposited on a Ni(001) surface have been calculated by means of an ab initio method. We find enhanced spin and orbital moments compared to what is found in bulk Fe. Our obtained spin moments are in good agreement with previous theoretical studies on similar systems. Comparing our results with a recent x-ray magnetic circular dichroism study [J....
