Two novel nitrogen-rich lanthanide compounds of 5,5'-(azo bis)tetrazolide (ZT) were synthesized and structurally characterized. The dinuclear, isostructural compounds [Ce2(ZT)2CO3(H2O)12] · 4 H2O (1) and [Pr2(ZT)2CO3(H2O)12]·4H2O ...

A new technology was tested to improve the cooking efficiency of the raw mixture for Portland clinker production by the use of nano-Ca(OH)2. A decrease in the free lime concentration after the firing of approximately 35% ...

In metal forming, the arising residual stresses influence the material behaviour during manufacturing as well as the performance of the final component. In the past, the focus of forming process design was on minimising ...

The Ge/Si(001) system has been analysed by grazing-incidence X-ray diffraction on a standard laboratory X-ray diffraction tool. A periodic array of interfacial edge dislocations forms a coincidence site lattice (CSL) which ...

Cryogenic turning can be used to produce deformation-induced martensite in metastable austenitic steels. Martensite exhibits a higher hardness than austenite and increases the wear resistance of the workpiece. In order to ...

By combining different materials, for example, high-strength steel and unalloyed structural steel, hybrid components with specifically adapted properties to a certain application can be realized. The mechanical processing, ...

The dehydration of the CPO-27-M (M-MOF-74, M = Zn, Co, Ni, Mg, Mn, Cu) metal-organic framework series has been investigated comprehensively using in situ variable temperature powder X-ray diffraction (VT-PXRD) and thermal ...
