Transition metal oxides are considered as prototype models of reactions involving oxidative processes [1]. In this way, the detailed understanding of their electronic and molecular structure is of great interest in the prediction of their catalytic behavior and chemical reactivity toward inert organic molecules which are of industrial interest. In particular, it is possible to highlight the sel...

The point contact Andreev reflection employing niobium tips was used to determine the degree of transport current spin polarization sPtd at the free surface of bulk NiMnSb at 4.2 K. The data was analyzed within the framework of a modified version of the Blonder, Tinkham, and Klapwijk formulism taking into account the two spin polarized channels in the ferromagnet and treating the interface as a...

In this study, aluminum (Al) film with high purity was coated on the Niobium (Nb) sheet by thermal evaporation under ultra-high vacuum. An Anodic Aluminum Oxide (AAO) nanotemplate prepared Nb sheet. During AAO preparation, three-dimensional (3D) nanopillars were grown We performed a simple 3D Artificial Intelligence (AI) analysis of nanopillars. According to experimental results, width is in ra...

High field Q-slope is a loss mechanism frequently encountered by superconducting radio frequency (SRF) cavities. The goal of this experiment was to identify correlations between cavity surface impurities, caused by either nitrogen gas or a thin layer of oxidized niobium, and high field Q-slope. Unfortunately, due to an unpredictable series of complications, cavity test results were not obtained...

quinolines, an important class of potentially bioactive compounds, have been synthesized by treatment of o-aminoarylketones and carbonyl compounds utilizing niobium (v) chloride / polyethylenglycole(nbcl5.peg) and niobium(v)chloride (nbcl5) as available and inexpensive catalysts. the quinoline derivatives were prepared in glycerol, an excellent solvent in terms of environmental impact, with hig...

The far-infrared vibrational spectra for charged vanadium clusters as well as charged and neutral niobium clusters have been measured size specifically using farinfrared multiple photon dissociation. The ground state energy and vibrational spectra of a large number of stable and metastable structures for each of these sizes and systems have also been calculated using densityfunctional theory (D...
