Electrical Properties of the Tungsten Bronzes

Description: From abstract: "The electrical resistivity of NaxWO3, LixWO3, and KxWO3 has been measured at 300°K. The range of x-values was 0.25 < x < 0.9. All resistivities were characteristic of a metal and lie on a single curve. An extrapolation of the conductivity curve to zero conductivity indicated that the tungsten bronzes should be semiconductors for x < 0.25. The resistivities that have been measured for tungsten bronzes with x < 0.25 showed semiconducting behavior. The resistivity of LixWO3 exhibit… more

Electrical Resistance Measurements of an Irradiated Uranium Sample

Description: The results of electrical resistance measurements have been used as a means of following changes occurring in metals due to irradiation. The electrical conductivity is sensitive to changes in composition and to cold-work or structure damage. In an anisotropic metal, such as uranium, the director of measurement also influences to some extent the values obtained. For these reasons it is essential to use the same material, and if possible the same piece of material, in comparing the electrical … more

The Electrical Resistivity of Liquid Sodium and Dilute Sodium Alloys. Final Report

Description: "The factors of atomic size, ion core potential, and charge, which contribute to the increment in electrical resistivity produced by solutes in metallic solutions, were separated and experimentally evaluated in liquid sodium. The results are expressed in a semi-empirical relationship which defines the increment in resistivity of a monovalent solution as the sum of the fractional difference in atomic volume of solute and solvent and the difference in atomic number of Na and the solutes Li, K, Cs… more

Electrical Resistivity of Rare-Earth Alloys

Description: From abstract: "Resistivities of solid solution alloys in the systems Gd-Lu, Tb-Lu, Gd-Er, and Y-Lu were measured from 4.2-320°K to determine the behavior of the resistivity in alloy systems with magnetic phenomena arising from localized magnetic moments. A large contribution to the residual resistivity is caused by the random distribution of these localized moments through the lattice. An analysis of the lattice resistivity of the metals shows large variations across the heavy rare-earth serie… more

An Electrochemical pH-STAT

Description: An apparatus has been developed which controls automatically the acidity of unbuffered solutions in the region from pH 4 to 10. A potentiostat is used to control the potential of an inert electrode on which the hydrogen gas-hydrogen ion reaction occurs in a solution saturated with hydrogen gas. The inert electrode acts as both a sensing element and a regulating electrode for the control of acidity. Current from the potentiostat passes through the inert electrode and an auxiliary polarizing elec… more

Electrochemical Research on Polonium

Description: The author reviews briefly the present state of several important problems of the electrochemistry and the chemistry of polonium; the position of this element in the electromotive series, the nature of the ions and the electrolytic deposits which they form, the valences, the nature of the precipitates of Po that is observed in solutions which are feebly acid or feebly alkaline.

The Electrochemical Theory of Smelting and Related Reactions

Description: In this paper we are concerned with the potentials and electrical currents flowing at an interface between two phases as a result of chemical reactions which promote selective ion migration. Although our immediate concern is an explanation of the available results on smelting, a sufficiently broad understand requires that we go far beyond this limited results and bring together the findings from many related fields. We first must consider the diffusion of particles across an interface, which fo… more

Electrodecontamination of Stainless Steel

Description: Abstract: "In experimental studies, decontamination factors of 1000 to 3000 were obtained by electrostripping deposited radioactivity from stainless steel surfaces, used as the anode, in 2% sulfuric acid at current densities as low as 0.01 amp/in.-2. Stainless steel cathodes were used. The method was successfully applied to contaminated equipment."

The Electrolysis of Uranium Halides

Description: The electrolysis of tetra- and tri-halides of uranium in fused salt systems at temperatures from 700°-900° C has been investigated. Serious losses are caused by reaction with atmospheric oxygen, refractories and electrode materials.

Electrolytic Production of Uranium from Solutions of its Tribromide in Fused Salts

Description: Abstract. the electrodeposition of uranium metal, in the form of tree-like deposits, from molten strontium halide baths is described. Under the best conditions studied, approximately 40% recovery is attained. Freedom from side-reactions of the reduced uranium with anode products and/or refractory materials, and high cathode current densities appear to be essential to the success of the process. the refining of uranium under similar conditions appears to occur quite readily, with approximatel… more

Electrolytic Reduction of Thorium Oxide

Electrolytic Reduction of Uranyl Ion

Description: From introduction: "Due to the hydrogen overvoltage at the surface of a mercury cathode, uranium solutions is hydrochloric acid may be reduced not only to the tetravalent state, but until considerable trivalent uranium is formed. Other metallic ions act as oxidation-reduction catalysts as well as being reduced themselves. The following paper is a study of the various reactions taking place in solution and at the surface of the cathode."

Electromagnetic-Acoustic-Transducer/Synthetic-Aperture System for Thick-Weld Inspection

Description: Abstract: This report describes a system based on electromagnetic-acoustic transducers (EMATs) as an approach to automated nondestructive evaluation of thick weldments (>25 mm). Good signal-to-noise ratios, often a problem with EMATs, were possibTe through careful design of the transducers and associated electronic circuits and the use of signal averaging. At 454 kHz, the transducers produce shear-horizontal waves of approximately 7-mm wavelength in steel. The long wavelength permits determinat… more
