Additional important properties to consider for additional analysis within the aerosol operations include the density, conductivity and ionizability of the element or compound. Magnesium is an extremely light metal, approximately 2/3 the weight of aluminum. Magnesium is extremely conductive, on par with copper and aluminum. Magnesium can be ionized with the energy available within the ultra-vio...

Two barium hexafluoridoosmates, Ba(OsF6)2 and BaOsF6, were synthesized and were characterized for the first time using X-ray powder and single crystal diffraction, IR spectroscopy, as well as NMR spectroscopy in anhydrous hydrogen fluoride. Ba(OsF6)2 crystallizes in the space group type P21/c with the cell parameters a = 6.4599(4), b = 10.7931(8), c = 14.7476(10) Å, β = 115.195(5)◦, V = 930.42(...

The environmental benefits of fuel cells have been increasingly appreciated in recent years. Among candidate electrolytes for solid-oxide fuel cells, yttrium-doped barium zirconate has garnered attention because of its high proton conductivity, particularly in the intermediate-temperature region targeted for cost-effective solid-oxide fuel cell operation, and its excellent chemical stability. H...

The effect of titanium dioxide as a semiconductive additive and barium titanate as a highly polar additive on the d.c. transient currents in low density polyethylene is investigated. Experiments were made using thick specimens under high electric field ( > 25 x 106 V/m) and constant temperature of 40OC. Results indicate that the incorporation of the foresaid additives has a remarkable effect on...

Single crystals of the new barium hollandite Ba1.3Co1.3Ti6.7O16 were obtained from a BaCl2 flux (I2/m, Z = 1, a = 9.9470(4), b = 2.9714(2), c = 10.2260(5) Å, β = 90.906(2)◦). In the crystal structure piles of Ba atoms are situated within a framework of edgeand vertex-sharing octahedra (Co,Ti)O6. The composition was deduced from microprobe analyses, structure refinements and charge balance argum...

Selection of the appropriate radiation quality is an important aspect of optimisation for every clinical imaging task in radiology, since it affects both image quality and patient dose. Spreadsheet calculations of attenuation and absorption have been applied to basic imaging tasks to provide an assessment of imaging performance for a selection of phosphors used in radiology systems. Contrast, w...
