Dynamic mechanical relaxation behavior of binary metallic glasses
(2021-03-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policySecondary ß relaxation is a fundamental issue to understand the diffusion, plasticity and glass transition behavior of metallic glasses. Binary metallic glasses provide a simple glassy system to probe the dynamic mechanical ... -
Giant and reversible barocaloric effect in trinuclear spin-crossover complex Fe3(bntrz)6(tcnset)6
(2021-03)
Article
Open AccessA giant barocaloric effect (BCE) in a molecular material Fe3(bntrz)6(tcnset)6 (FBT) is reported, where bntrz = 4-(benzyl)-1,2,4-triazole and tcnset = 1,1,3,3-tetracyano-2-thioethylepropenide. The crystal structure of FBT ... -
OpenFOAM computational fluid dynamics simulations of thermal wind generation in mountain/valley configurations
(2021)
Conference report
Open AccessThermal winds appear in mountainous areas and valleys due to temperature gradients caused by the buoyancy effects associated with the diurnal heating-cooling cycle of the lower atmosphere. These winds develop over complex ... -
The introduction of the glaze in al-Andalus: Technological waves and Oriental influences
(2020-11-01)
Article
Open AccessThis research develops a much-needed approach to the study of glazed ware production in al-Andalus (Muslim Spain and Portugal) during the early Middle Ages. The introduction of glaze to the Iberian Peninsula was a long and ... -
A facile approach to hydrophilic oxidized fullerenes and their derivatives as cytotoxic agents and supports for nanobiocatalytic systems
(Nature, 2020-12-01)
Article
Open AccessA facile, environment-friendly, versatile and reproducible approach to the successful oxidation of fullerenes (oxC60) and the formation of highly hydrophilic fullerene derivatives is introduced. This synthesis relies on ... -
On the microscopic origin of the cryoprotective effect in lysine solutions
(2020-04-07)
Article
Open AccessThe amino acid lysine has been shown to prevent water crystallization at low temperatures in saturated aqueous solutions [S. Cerveny and J. Swenson, Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys., 2014, 16, 22382–22390]. Here, we investigate two ... -
Reversible barocaloric effects over a large temperature span in fullerite C60
(Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2020-07-31)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policySolid-state cooling methods based on field-driven first-order phase transitions are often limited by significant hysteresis and small temperature span, which increase the input work required to drive the cooling cycle ... -
Does the trihydrate of atorvastatin calcium possess a melting point?
(2020-05-30)
Article
Open AccessTo decide whether an active pharmaceutical ingredient can be used in its amorphous form in drug formulations, often the glass transition is studied in relation to the melting point of the pharmaceutical. If the glass ... -
The phase relationship between the pyrazinamide polymorphs a and y
(2020-04-30)
Article
Open AccessPyrazinamide is an active pharmaceutical compound for the treatment of tuberculosis. It possesses at least four crystalline polymorphs. Polymorphism may cause solubility problems as the case of ritonavir has clearly ... -
Polymorphism of 1,3-X-adamantanes (X = Br, OH, CH3) and the crystal plastic phase formation ability
(2020-02-21)
Article
Open AccessThe polymorphism of 1,3-dimethyladamantane (13DMA), 1,3-adamantanediol (13DOHA) and 1,3-dibromoadamantane (13DBrA) has been studied by X-ray powder diffraction, density measurements and differential scanning calorimetry ... -
Modernist enamels: Composition, microstructure and stability
(Elsevier, 2020-04-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyColoured enamels from the materials used in Modernist workshops from Barcelona were produced and compared to those found in the buildings to explore the reason for the reduced stability of the blue and green enamels. They ... -
Islamic glazed wares from ancient Termez (southern Uzbekistan). Raw materials and techniques
(Elsevier Ltd, 2020-02-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyAncient Termez, located on the southern border of Transoxiana/Mawarannahr, was an important pottery production centre during the Islamic period. Recent archaeological and archaeometric research carried out by the Spanish-Uzbek ...
