The effect of -Al2O3 particles on the electrochemical codeposition behaviour of Co–Ni alloys from sulfamate electrolyte was investigated by codeposition experiments, zeta potential and electrochemical methods. The results indicate that the presence of Al2O3 particles in Co–Ni sulfamate electrolytes contributes to the preferential codeposition of Co. Moreover, increasing Co2+ concentration also ...

Reorientation in the magnetic anisotropy as a function of film thickness has been observed in Co-Ni and Co thin films, obliquely sputtered on a polyethylene terephthalate substrate at a large incidence angle ~70°!. This effect is a consequence of the low magnetocrystalline anisotropy of the films ~fcc structure of Co! and changes in microstructure from nuclei to columns according to the thickne...

New chemical-state-specific scanned-energy mode photoelectron diffraction experiments and density functional theory calculations, applied to CO, CO/H, and N2 adsorption on Ni(100), show that chemisorption bond length changes associated with large changes in bond strength are small, but those associated with changes in bond order are much larger, and are similar to those found in molecular syste...

The effects of ash refuse pile from a black soap-making facility were studied on the surface (0-15 cm) layer of soils and commonest plants at Ori-Ebu, Afao Quarter, Ikere-Ekiti in Nigeria. Soil and plant samples were collected at 0, 15, 30, 60, 75, 105 and 150 m from the ash refuse pile and analyzed for cadmium (Cd), cobalt (Co), chromium (Cr), lead (Pb) and nickel (Ni). The prominent plant spe...

Pheophorbide a was prepared from a mixture o f chlorophylls a and b by differential extrac­ tion with HC1 and saponification. The insertion o f the following metal ions was investigated: Mg, Zn, Co, Cu, Ni. In the enzyme test with chlorophyll synthetase, the metallopheophorbides fall into two categories: the Mgand Zn-complexes are good substrates, the Co-, Cuand Ni-complexes are neither substra...

• The kinetics of CH4 steam reforming and partial oxidation are determined by the oxidation rate of CHx adsorbed species • The modification of the Ni/YSZ and Ni/GDC with Au and/or Au-Mo results in differentiated structures of atomically dispersed Au and/or Au-Mo at the surface and the bulk of the Ni particles. • At lean S/C NiAu/YSZ selectively oxidizes electrochemically the catalytically produ...

To evaluate a Ni-43.5wt%Ti alloy as a new alloy for cast clasp, the fatigue properties of its castings were examined and compared with those of Co-Cr and Type IV Au alloys castings. The Ni-Ti alloy was cast into a phosphate-bonded investment mold using an argon-arc melting and pressure casting machine. The Ni-Ti alloy castings showed superelasticity in bending tests. Fatigue tests were carried ...

Thin films of Na with Fe, Co, and Ni impurities are investigated. The magnetization of the impurities is measured by means of the anomalous Hall resistance. Fe and Co show a moment of about 6mu(B), while for Ni no moment is detected. Furthermore, the magnetic dephasing of the conduction electrons is measured by means of weak localization. The dephasing rate 1/tau(phi) of the 3d impurities diffe...

The Cu substitution effect on the superconductivity of LiFeAs has been studied in comparison with Co/Ni substitution. It is found that the shrinking rate of the lattice parameter c for Cu substitution is much smaller than that of Co/Ni substitution. This is in conjugation with the observation of ARPES that shows almost the same electron and hole Fermi surfaces (FSs) size for undoped and Cu subs...
