Electron energy loss spectroscopy of bulk gold with ultrasoft pseudopotentials and the Liouville-Lanczos method

Iurii Timrov

The implementation of ultrasoft pseudopotentials into time-dependent density-functional perturbation theory is detailed for both the Sternheimer approach and the Liouville-Lanczos (LL) method, and equations are presented in the scalar relativistic approxim ...

Influence of thermo-mechanical processing on ordering kinetics in 18 karat red gold alloy

Marina Garcia Gonzalez

The aim of this project is to understand the correlation between alloy composition and the build-up of internal stresses in 18 carat Au-Ag-Cu alloys under thermo-mechanical loads. The copper rich end of this ternary system exhibits order-hardening of the e ...

The thermally activated distortion with amplification effect and related variant selection in red gold alloys

Roland Logé, Cyril Cayron, Margaux Nathalie Dominique Larcher

Variant selection during the A1→L10 transformation in a polycrystalline red gold alloy close to equiatomic Au-Cu composition has been extensively studied by Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD) in our previous work. The use of a mathematical description ...

Engineering the ZrO2–Pd Interface for Selective CO2 Hydrogenation by Overcoating an Atomically Dispersed Pd Precatalyst

Jeremy Luterbacher, Oliver Kröcher, Mounir Driss Mensi, Florent Emmanuel Héroguel, Alimohammad Bahmanpour, Yuan-Peng Du, Luka Milosevic

Tailoring the interfacial sites between metals and metal oxides can be an essential tool in designing heterogeneous catalysts. These interfacial sites play a vital role in many renewable applications, for instance, catalytic CO2 reduction. Postsynthesis de ...

The Politics of Participatory Sustainability Assessments: An Analysis of Power

Livia Bianca Fritz, Franziska Meinherz

The participation of societal actors has been advanced as the gold standard of sustainability assessment processes and is thought essential to dealing with the plurality of normative claims surrounding sustainability and the need to take decisions in a con ...

Tribological Approach to the Watch Movements

Valentine Agnès Madeleine Magnin

Mechanical watches are complex and sensitive systems that have to maintain a faultless precision over their lifetime. However, this precision can be altered by disturbances occurring during the functioning time, such as friction, lubricant drying, or wear, ...

Tribological behaviour of galvanic gold coatings reinforced with silica nanoparticles

Stefano Mischler, Anna Neus Igual Muñoz

Electroplated composite Au/SiO2 coatings on a nickel substrate have been produced by dispersing an emulsion of silica nanoparticles (20 nm in diameter) in an industrial hard-gold bath. The tribological behaviour of the Au/SiO2 coatings with different SiO2 ...

Tribological properties of gold matrix composite coatings with carbon nanocapsules containing ionic liquid lubricants

Stefano Mischler, Anna Neus Igual Muñoz

Self-lubricating, gold matrix composite coatings were produced by electrochemical codeposition of carbon nanocapsules filled with ionic liquid (IL) from a colloidal galvanic bath on a nickel electrode. The tribological response of the composite coatings wa ...

Mapping of Chemical Heterogeneity at Surfaces with High-Throughput Wide-Field Second Harmonic Microscopy

Igor Nahálka

Many industrial processes are based on electrochemical reactions using engineered electrocatalysts. However, the current lack of theoretical knowledge obscures efforts to maximize catalysts' efficiency, and the optimization process is mostly empirical. To ...

Effect of Ag Addition on the Hot Deformation, Constitutive Equations and Processing Maps of a Hot Extruded Mg-Gd-Y Alloy

Roland Logé

Hot deformation behavior of the extruded Mg-6Gd-3Y (GW63) and Mg-6Gd-3Y-1Ag (GW63-1Ag) alloys was assessed by shear punch testing (SPT) method in the temperature range of 623 K to 723 K and shear strain rate of 1.6 x 10(-2)to 1.3 x 10(-1) s(-1). Microstruc ...
