We have investigated the vibrational anharmonicity and quantum effects in the Invar alloy Fe64.6Ni35.4 which shows anomalously small thermal expansion. We have performed Fe and Ni K-edge EXAFS spectroscopic measurements and computational simulations based on the path-integral effective-classical-potential theory. The first nearest-neighbor (NN) shells around Fe showed almost no thermal expansio...

in this study the thermal conductivity and the volumetric heat capacity of non-newtonian fluids are investigated. these fluids find many applications in chemical, medical and food industries. they mostly have viscoelastic behavior and generally differ from newtonian fluids. two non-newtonian fluids, solutions of xanthan and carboxy methyl cellulose in water with various concentrations have bee...

We report thermal expansion measurements on Ca(Fe 1−x Co x) 2 As 2 single crystals with different thermal treatment, with samples chosen to represent four different ground states observed in this family. For all samples, thermal expansion is anisotropic with different signs of the in-plane and c-axis thermal expansion coefficients in the high temperature, tetragonal phase. The features in therm...

We have investigated the anharmonicity and quantum effects in the Invar alloy Fe(64.6)Ni(35.4) that shows anomalously small thermal expansion. We have performed Fe and Ni K-edge extended x-ray-absorption fine-structure spectroscopic measurements and the computational simulations based on the path-integral effective-classical-potential theory. The first nearest-neighbor (NN) shells around Fe sho...
