X-Ray Powder Data And Unit Cell Parameters Of Mgbr2.6h2o, Charles A. Sorrell, Roy R. Ramey Oct 1974

X-Ray Powder Data And Unit Cell Parameters Of Mgbr2.6h2o, Charles A. Sorrell, Roy R. Ramey

Materials Science and Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Detailed X-ray powder data for MgBr2·6H2O were obtained by diffractometry by use of CuKα radiation at 22°C. The data were indexed on a bimolecular monoclinic unit cell, space group C2/m, with a = 10.290 ± 0.001 Å; b = 7.334 ± 0.001 Å; C = 6.211 ± 0.001 Å; β = 93° 25′ ± 10′. Calculated density was 2.074 g/cm3, compared with a measured density of 2.07 ± 0.01 g/cm3. © 1974, American Chemical Society. All rights reserved.

A Microscopy Study Of Lead Sinter, Thomas J. O'Keefe, C. Bennett, E. R. Cole

Materials Science and Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Samples of up-draft sinters produced at three different Missouri lead smelters were studied, to determine the chemical phases present, as a first step toward a more complete understanding of the lead blast furnace operation. The sinters seemed to be basically similar, and all the results reported are from samples from one smelter (Herculaneum smelter, St. Joe Minerals). Analytical tools used included the electron microprobe and scanning electron microscope with a non-dispersive X-ray spectrometer attachment Major phase that were positively identified are metallic lead, lead sulfide and zinc ferrite. The predominant lead phase was tentatively identified as a lead oxide-silicate compound. …

Detailed X-ray powder data for MgCl2·6H2O were obtained by diffractometry by use of CuKα radiation at 22°C. The data were indexed on a bimolecular monoclinic unit cell, space group C2/m, with a = 9.858 ± 0.001 Å; b = 7.107 ± 0.001 Å; c = 6.069 ± 0.001 Å; ß = 93° 47′ ± 10′. Calculated density was 1.591 g/cm3, compared with a measured density of 1.593 ± 0.003 g/cm3. © 1974, American Chemical Society. All rights reserved.


Influence Of Oxygen Activity On The Sintering Of Mgcr2o4, Harlan U. Anderson Jan 1974

Influence Of Oxygen Activity On The Sintering Of Mgcr2o4, Harlan U. Anderson

Materials Science and Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

The sintering behavior of MgCr2O4 powder compacts was investigated as a function of temperature, time, and oxygen activity. The results show that MgCr2O4 cannot be densified to >70% of theoretical density at temperatures up to 1700°C if the oxygen activity exceeds 10−6 atm. The oxygen activity must be decreased to <10−10 atm before densities exceeding 90% of theoretical can be achieved. Weight loss and X‐ray data indicated that maximum density occurred at an oxygen activity just above that where MgCr2O4 becomes unstable. Copyright © 1974, Wiley Blackwell. All rights reserved

Magnetic Properties Of Cadmium Manganese Ferrite, B. W. Jong, P. D. Ownby Jan 1974

Magnetic Properties Of Cadmium Manganese Ferrite, B. W. Jong, P. D. Ownby

Materials Science and Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

The room-temperature saturation magnetization of CdxMn1-xFe2O4 decreased with increasing cadmium concentration. When 0 < x < 0.5, the decrease in saturation magnetization was due to the increase in the amount of non-mgnetic distorted cubic Cd(Mn, Fe) 2O4.


A Mass Spectrometric Study Of Positive Ions Produced In An Experimental Diode, L. A. Addington, Gordon Lewis Jan 1974

A Mass Spectrometric Study Of Positive Ions Produced In An Experimental Diode, L. A. Addington, Gordon Lewis

Materials Science and Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

A simple diode ion source has been developed for direct observation in a mass spectrometer of the positive ions created in an operating diode. The ionic species accelerated toward the cathode were identified. The shape of the peak displayed in the spectrum is related to the region of the diode in which the ions were formed. Variation of experimental parameters, including the composition of the background gases, indicated that the characteristic shapes of the peaks can be related to space charge in the diode. This is complicated by the tendency of some of the species to fragment and further work …


Thermal Decomposition Of Boron Triiodide On Molybdenum Field Emitter Surfaces, Richard E. Moore, P. Darrell Ownby Jan 1974

Thermal Decomposition Of Boron Triiodide On Molybdenum Field Emitter Surfaces, Richard E. Moore, P. Darrell Ownby

Materials Science and Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Boron has been adsorbed onto molybdenum field emitter surfaces by the thermal decomposition of boron triiodide at corrected partial pressures of 1.4 x 10-9 Torr to 4.5 x 10-9 Torr. Based on field emission work function data and an analytical work function versus adsorbate-coverage relationship, a quantitative measure of the monolayer coverage of boron on molybdenum has been determined; this value is 6.3 x 1014 atoms/cm2/monolayer. A parameter, β, is defined which is a measure of the effective yield of adsorbed boron on molyb-denum from BI3. β is formulated in terms of the free energy of dissociation of the BI3 …


Knudsen Effusion Study Of The Vaporization Of Cdo(S), R. Tom Coyle, Gordon Lewis Jan 1974

Knudsen Effusion Study Of The Vaporization Of Cdo(S), R. Tom Coyle, Gordon Lewis

Materials Science and Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Knudsen effusion studies were conducted on CdO(s) in fused‐SiO2 Knudsen cells from 889 to 1110 K. The orifice size was varied; the largest cell orifice yielded a calculated pressure significantly lower than could be accounted for by experimental error. Average‐slope‐ and average‐free‐energy‐function‐based values of ΔHc298 were 86.9 ± 1.1 and 88.8 ± 0.5 kcal/mol, respectively. The data from the present work were combined with those of previous investigators using a method discussed by McCreary and Thorn; a ΔHc298 of 88.2 ± 0.2 kcal/mol was obtained. Using this combined value for ΔHc298 and ΔSc298= 51.40 ± 0.1 eu (obtained from the …
