Since the advent of theoretical materials science some 60 years ago, there has been a drive to predict and design new materials in silicio. Mathematical optimization procedures to determine phase stability can be generally applicable to complex ternary or higher-order materials systems where the phase diagrams of the binary constituents are sufficiently known. Here, we employ a simplex-optimiza...

Despite Au, Al and Cu being individually very wellknown elements, their ternary phase diagram has not been studied in as much detail as those of many other Au-containing ternaries. Here we review what is known, and consider the prospects for technological exploitation of some of the ternary compositions. The components of greatest interest in Al-Au-Cu may be the β-phases, at least two of which ...

We have experimentally determined the coexistence surface characterizing the phase behavior of gammaD-betaB1-water ternary solutions. The coexistence surface fully describes the solution conditions, i.e., temperature, protein concentration, and protein composition, at which liquid-liquid phase separation occurs in a ternary solution. We have observed a significant demixing of gammaD and betaB1 ...

The aim of this paper is to classify all monogenic ternary semigroups, up to isomorphism. We divide them to two groups: finite and infinite. We show that every infinite monogenic ternary semigroup is isomorphic to the ternary semigroup O, the odd positive integers with ordinary addition. Then we prove that all finite monogenic ternary semigroups with the same index...

The biophysical underpinning of the lipid-raft concept in cellular membranes is the liquid-ordered phase that is induced by moderately high concentrations of cholesterol. Although the crucial feature is the coexistence of phase-separated fluid domains, direct evidence for this in mixtures of cholesterol with a single lipid is extremely sparse. More extensive evidence comes from ternary mixtures...

Herein we report on the synthesis of a new layered ternary carbide, viz. Mo2TiAlC2, that was synthesized by heating an elemental mixture at 1600 oC for 4 h under Ar flow. Its lattice parameters were calculated via Rietveld analysis of powder Xray diffraction patterns to be 2.997 Å and 18.661 Å. High-resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy further showed that this phase is ordered, ...

Sequence of reactions in the process of ternary complex formation of BMY-28864 with D-mannopyranoside and calcium was spectrophotometrically determined under more strict analytical conditions using metal-free preparations of sugars and the pradimicin derivative at a bandpass slit width of 1 nm. In the first phase of ternary complex formation, BMY-28864 stereospecifically recognized and bound to...

in this research, mechanical alloying was used to produce ti-50al, ti-45al-5cr and ti-45al-5w (at%) alloys. the effect of ternary addition (cr and w) on microstructure and production efficiency of tial alloy were investigated. alloying was performed in a planetary mill and the milling time varying from 5 to 70h. the structural evaluation in these powders was done by x-ray diffraction (xrd) tech...
