In this Letter, we report on a large magnetic field-induced stress of 14.4 MPa/T and low hysteresis 50 MPa in polycrystalline Ni44.1Co5.0Mn36.1In13.4Cu1.4 alloy, rendering it as promising candidate for high-energy output high-efficient actuators. The magnetostress mainly originates from the transformation entropy change 15.4 J/(kg K) high sensitivity phase temperature to field −9.2 K/T. Further...

This work calculates the Lorentz–Lorenz coefficient with refractive index and density values of various molecules in their solid phase measured our laboratory under astrophysical conditions. was completed for a range temperatures from 13 K to close sublimation temperature each molecule. The studied were N2, CO2, NH3, CH4, CH3OH, C2H4, C2H6. For results match those found unique similar previous ...

The ternary Laves phases Sc0.22(1)Ta0.78(1)Fe2 and Sc0.63(1)In0.37(1)Co2 were synthesized by arc-melting appropriate amounts of the binary ScFe2 TaFe2 or Sc, In Co, respectively. samples studied powder X-ray diffraction structures refined from single crystal data: P63/mmc, a=484.96(7), c=793.17(11) pm, wR2=0.0604, 147 F2 values, 12 variables for P63mc, a=488.61(4), c=1599.54(12) wR2=0.0389, 553...
