The new generation of ternary Pb(In1/2Nb1/2)O3-Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-PbTiO3 ferroelectric single crystals have potential applications in high power devices due to their surperior operational stability relative to the binary system. In this work, a reversible, large electric field induced strain of over 0.9% at room temperature, and in particular over 0.6% above 380 K was obtained. The polarization r...

The ultralow interfacial tension of the two-liquid phase of a ternary system 1-propanol–n-heptane–water was determined with a pendant drop method using the axisymmetric drop shape analysis (ADSA) methodology. Because the two liquid phases of the ternary system are practically miscible at temperatures near the critical solution temperature, the drops are small and difficult to distinguish from t...

Phase equilibria in the ternary Ti-Ag-Cu system have been studied thermodynamically and experimentally at various temperatures. The thermodynamic analysis was performed by combining the most recent data on the binary Ag-Cu, Ti-Ag and Ti-Cu systems and experimental information obtained by the diffusion couple technique. The eutectic and three noneutectic binary Ag-Cu alloys were melted and annea...

The subsolidus phase relationships in the ZnO–InO1.5–SnO2 system were investigated at 12751C using X-ray diffraction. Each of the end members of the ternary diagram is a transparent conducting oxide. There are two substantial solid solutions in the ternary phase space, the bixbyite solid solution In2 2xZnxSnxO3 (x5 0–0.40), and the indium substituted zinc stannate spinel, Zn(2 x)Sn(1 x)In2xO4 (...

Biocompatible oil-in-water (o/w) micro-emulsions can be prospective drug delivery vehicles for their capability to solubilize lipophilic (oil soluble) drugs in the dispersed oil. Plant oils are considered suitable for such a purpose. In this study, we have attempted to examine the dispersion of corn, cottonseed, clove, orange and peppermint oils, as well as isopropyl myristate (IPM) in water co...

The purpose of this reaserch is to measure the phase equilibrium data of the ternary system (water + phosphoric acid + 1-nonanol) at different temperatures. Experimental solubility curves and tie-line points for the system were obtained at T = 298.2, 308.2 and 318.2 K and ambient pressure. The binodal curve data were detected by the cloud point method. The mass fractions of each layer ...

Recently a significant improvement in the thermoelectric performance of p-type ternary PbTe-PbSe and PbTe-PbS systems has been realized through alternating the electronic band structure and introducing nano-scale precipitates to bulk materials respectively. However, the quaternary system of PbTe-PbSe-PbS has received less attention. In the current work, we have excluded phase complexity by fabr...

Mass spectrometric studies of the vapours over solid lead oxide in a flow of gaseous arsenic and antimony trioxides were conducted. The following ions of the ternary oxides were detected: Pb3As2O6(+), Pb3AsO4(+), PbAs2O4(+), PbAsO2(+), PbSb2O4(+), and PbSbO2(+). The origin of these species produced by the ionisation and/or fragmentation of ternary gaseous oxides is discussed. The PbAs2O4 specie...

This paper presents a further numerical study of the interaction dynamics for solitary waves in a nonlinear Dirac field with scalar self-interaction by using a fourth order accurate Runge-Kutta discontinuous Galerkin method. Our experiments are conducted on the Dirac solitary waves with a phase difference. Some interesting phenomena are observed: (a) full repulsion in binary and ternary collisi...

ABSTRACT The isothermal cross section through the ternary phase diagram Nb-Ni-Cr at 1,100 °C was constructed by means of diffusion couples and equilibrated alloys. It was found that nearly 28 at.% of Cr can be dissolved in the μ phase (Nb7Ni6) at this temperature, and the solubility of chromium in NbNi3 is approximately 5 at.%. Under these circumstances the low-temperature (cubic) modification ...
