The Equation of State of Solids at Low Temperature

Description: Technical report describing and evaluating the the three experimental methods for obtaining equation of state data at low temperatures; (1) approximate measurement of the PVT relationship by a piston-displacement technique, (2) the measurement of a heat capacity at constant volume as a function of molar volume and temperature, and (3) direct measurement of the pressure variation of the elastic constants using ultrasonic techniques. X-ray methods also might be applicable.

gem-Bis(disubstitutedphosphinyl)alkanes. II. Extraction Properties of Bis(di-n-hexlphosphinyl)methane

Description: From abstract: "Bis(di-n-hexylphosphinyl)methane, HDPM, [(C6H13)2P(O)]2CH2, has been studied as an extractant for a variety of metals. HDPM was evaluated as an extractant for uranium(VI) and compared with tri-n-octylphosphine oxide, TOPO, (C8H13)3PO. In nonpolar solvents, HDPM forms a polymeric-like substance with compounds of uranium(VI). Viscosity measurements indicate that the molecular weight of this polymeric-like substance is about 100 times greater than the corresponding complex with TOP… more

Pyrometallurgical Reprocessing of Thorium-Uranium Fuel

Description: From summary: "A proposed metallurgical procedure for reporocessing Th-U233 fuel has been outlined. Some basic experimental data pertinent to the proposed process which has been published elsewhere has been reviewed and some new data presented. In the dissolution of thorium-uranium alloy in magnesium the data show that protactinium precipitates with the uranium and cerium remains in the magnesium-rich solution. It is expected that yttrium, other light rare earth elements, the alkali and alkalin… more

Analysis of Mixtures of Alcohols by Acylation

Description: From abstract: "Recently a general chemical method for the analysis of mixtures of alcohols appeared, using pyridine catalyzed acetylation and second order kinetics to determine the amount of the faster reacting component. The use of 0.25M isobutyric anhydride in pyridine containing 0.0025M perchloric acid as catalyst promotes the rate of the reaction and diminishes the time necessary to perform an analysis. A mathematical treatment of the data and kinetic plot reduces the number of kinetic poi… more

Structures of the Intermediate Phases Ni10Zr7 and Ni10Hf7

Description: This report discusses the experiments undertaken to determine the crystal structures of the intermediate phases Ni10Zr7 and Ni10Hf7. The report looks at structural determinations, a comparison observed and calculated structure factors for the refined zirconium-rich structure, the refined structural parameters for the stoichiometric Ni10Zr7 phase, a comparison of observed and calculated structure factors for the refined stoichiometric Ni10Zr7 structure, a comparison of observed intensity data an… more

Internal Conversion Coefficients of the 2+-0+, E2 Transitions in Even-Even Sm152[over]90 and Gd152[over]88

Description: From abstract: "To investigate the deviation of the internal conversion coefficients of E2 transitions from theoretical computations and their dependence on nuclear deformation, the total internal conversion coefficient of the 121.8-kev 2+-0+ transition in ellipsoidal Sm152[over]90 was measured to be 1.135 ± 0.010 with a high accuracy coincidence-sum method. The K-shell to total internal conversion ratio was determined to be 0.588 ± 0.003 with a [beta] spectrometer...The experiment revealed no … more

Transport Reactions of Vanadium(III) Halides and Bromine

Description: From introduction: "...This investigation was originated to explore the possibility of vapor transport of VCl3 by chemical reaction. The reaction first considered was that of VCl3 and bromine which gave a rapid vapor transport of VCl3. Other work on solid solution formation in the system VCl3-VBr3 and transport of VBr3 in bromine developed thereafter."

Small Order Shape Factor in Na22

Description: From abstract: "The beta spectrum of Na22 has been examined using an intermediate-image beta-ray spectrometer operating at 2 1/2% transmission and 2.4% resolution. Five separate determinations of the maximum energy and of the slope of the form-factor plot were made. One determination was made using a charge-discriminating baffle inserted in the spectrometer. The unweighted mean of the five values for the maximum energy is 547.4 ± 1.0 kev. The unweighted mean of the five values for the form-fact… more

Ternary Compounds Between Thorium Monocarbide and Thorium Dihydride

Description: From abstract: "The thorium-hydrogen-carbon system was studied by measuring hydrogen equilibrium pressures at various compositions and temperatures. Two compounds, ThC·ThH2 and ThC·2ThH2, were found and characterized. ThC·ThH2 has a hexagonal closest-packed lattice with ao=3.816Å and co=6.302Å. ThC·2ThH2 has a monoclinic lattice with ao=6.50Å, bo=3.80Å, co=10.91Å and β = 119°. The enthalpies of formation for each compound were determined."

Point Imperfections in Metals: Existance and Detection

Description: From introductory paragraph: "The factors which control the properties, and hence the utility, of an alloy are microscopic in nature. These factors are controlled by controlling the composition and past history of the material. control of the composition of the alloy determines for the most part the number and types of phases which will be present, while control of the past history of the alloy determines the grain size and degree of crystalline perfection within the grains. Since the electrica… more
