Thermal expansion and impurity effects on the lattice thermal conductivity of solid argon have been investigated with equilibrium molecular dynamics simulation. Thermal conductivity is simulated over the temperature range of 20-80 K. Thermal expansion effects, which strongly reduce thermal conductivity, are incorporated into the simulations using experimentally measured lattice constants of sol...

ScAlN is an emerging ultrawide bandgap semiconductor for next-generation radio frequency electronic devices. Here, we show that the material quality of grown by molecular beam epitaxy can be drastically improved alloying with Ga. The resulting quaternary alloy ScAlGaN exhibits a single-phase wurtzite structure, atomically smooth surface, high crystal quality, sharp interface, and low impurity c...

in this work, the thermal reaction of aluminum (al) and nickel oxide (nio) was investigated by molecular dynamics simulations. some effective features of reaction such as reaction temperature, the reaction mechanism, and diffusion rate of oxygen into aluminum structure were studied. reaxff force field was performed to study the al/nio thermite reaction behavior at five different temperatures (5...

The internal oxidation o f dilute Pd alloys has been studied by XAS. Pt, Au, Pb and Bi in Pd form no impurity-oxygen complexes. Y, Nb, Gd, Yb, Lu, H f , Th, Zr and Mo precipitate at 1050°C as oxides. In a recent paper /1/ it was shown how X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) can be used to investigate the internal oxidation of impurities in dilute alloys. It was demonstrated in the case of a @Zr...

Uniform one-dimensional defective La(OH)3 nanorods were synthesized by a facile, fast and scalable method. This simple method avoids treatment at high temperature, utility of surfactants or templates, and can be finished within a short time. The results indicate that oxygen-vacancies were formed in La(OH)3 nanorods, which could extend the photoresponse range. The XPS, PL, solid state ESR measur...

We thank Turin et al. (1) for their comments regarding our paper (2). In response to the first point of Turin et al. (1), concerning the musk receptor screen, our reported results (2) were directed at testing the main hypothesis of the vibrational theory of olfaction, which has never been supported by experimental data at the receptor level. The negative results of the tests, using one of the b...
