Processing of vanadium and niobium electrodeposited from alkali chloride melts

The methods of hydrometallurgical treatment of cathodic deposits obtained by electrorefining vanadium and niobium metals in chloride melts were studied. The effectiveness of employing nitric acid was demonstrated. The optimal conditions of leaching trapped salt were determined: HNO3 concentration of 2.5 wt. % for vanadium and 5 wt. % for niobium; solid-to-liquid ratio 1:10 for both metals. The effect of increasing duration of a washing cycle on number of process stages was investigated. The methods of final washing and drying metallic powders were considered. ©The Electrochemical Society.Physical and Analytical Electrochemistry;Electrodeposition;Energy Technolog

Electrode and redox potentials of molybdenum and stability of molybdenum chloro-species in alkali chloride melts

Molybdenum electrode and Mo(III)/(IV) redox potentials were measured in fused alkali chlorides. Experiments were performed in individual salts (LiCl, NaCl, KCl, RbCl and CsCl) and in several binary and ternary eutectic or low-melting mixtures between 633 and 1173 K (depending on the melting point of the solvent salt). Formal standard electrode potentials E∗ Mo/Mo(III) and redox potentials E∗ Mo(III)/Mo(IV) in respect to Cl-/Cl2 couple and Gibbs free energy change of formation of molybdenum(III) chloride in alkali chloride melts were calculated. Electronic absorption spectra of Mo(III) ions were recorded, and spectroscopic parameters of MoCl6 3- complex ions determined. High temperature spectroscopy measurements were used to study the stability of Mo(III) chloro-species in fused chlorides and the reaction rates of Mo(III) ions disproportionation were also determined. Diffusion coefficients of molybdenum ions in LiCl-KCl-CsCl and NaCl-CsCl eutectic based melts were determined from the results of electrochemical measurements. © The Author(s) 2017

Nanostructural features of anodic zirconia synthesized using different temperature modes

Nanotubular and nanoporous structures of ZrO 2 were synthesized by potentiostatic anodization with varying the temperatures of anode in the range of T A = 0 - 90 °C and electrolyte in the range of T El = 20 - 50 °C. It was shown that difference between T A and T El had significant influence on growth rate and morphology type of zirconia nanostructures. Optimal parameters of thermal modes for nanotubular ZrO 2 synthesis were discussed. © 2018 Institute of Physics Publishing.

Cubic optical nonlinearity of free electrons in bulk gold

A fast (τresponse &lt;90 fs) free-electron spin-flipping frequency-degenerate nonlinearity with a significant value of |χ(3)xxyy(ω,ω,ω,-ω) χ(3)xyyx(ω,ω,ω,-ω)| ~ 10-8 esu has been observed in bulk gold at 1260 nm by use of a new pump-probe polarization-sensitive technique. <br/

Temperature dependent fluorescence in disordered Frenkel chains: interplay of equilibration and local band-edge level structure

We model the optical dynamics in linear Frenkel exciton systems governed by scattering on static disorder and lattice vibrations, and calculate the temperature dependent fluorescence spectrum and lifetime. The fluorescence Stokes shift shows a nonmonotonic behavior with temperature, which derives from the interplay of the local band-edge level structure and thermal equilibration. The model yields excellent fits to experiments performed on linear dye aggregates.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure

Algorithms of walking and stability for an anthropomorphic robot

© Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd. Autonomous movement of an anthropomorphic robot is considered as a superposition of a set of typical elements of movement - so-called patterns, each of which can be considered as an agent of some multi-agent system [ 1 ]. To control the AP-601 robot, an information and communication infrastructure has been created that represents some multi-agent system that allows the development of algorithms for individual patterns of moving and run them in the system as a set of independently executed and interacting agents. The algorithms of lateral movement of the anthropomorphic robot AP-601 series with active stability due to the stability pattern are presented

On the K^+D Interaction at Low Energies

The Kd reactions are considered in the impulse approximation with NN final-state interactions (NN FSI) taken into account. The realistic parameters for the KN phase shifts are used. The "quasi-elastic" energy region, in which the elementary KN interaction is predominantly elastic, is considered. The theoretical predictions are compared with the data on the K^+d->K^+pn, K^+d->K^0pp, K^+d->K^+d and K^+d total cross sections. The NN FSI effect in the reaction K^+d->K^+pn has been found to be large. The predictions for the Kd cross sections are also given for slow kaons, produced from phi(1020) decays, as the functions of the isoscalar KN scattering length a_0. These predictions can be used to extract the value of a_0 from the data.Comment: 22 pages, 5 figure

Coherent \pi^\circ photoproduction from ^4He

Differential cross sections and beam asymmetries for coherent \pi^\circ photoproduction from ^4He in the \Delta energy-range have been measured with high statistical and systematic precisions using both decay photons for identifying the process.The experiment was performed at the MAinz MIcrotron using the TAPS photon spectrometer and the Glasgow/Mainz tagged photon facility. The differential cross sections are in excellent agreement with predictions based on the DWIA if an appropriate parametrization of the \Delta-nuclear interaction is applied. The beam asymmetries are interpreted in terms of degrees of linear polarization of collimated coherent bremsstrahlung. The expected increase of the degree of linear polarization with decreasing collimation angle is confirmed. Agreement with calculations is obtained on a few-percent level of precision in the maxima of the coherent peaks.Comment: 22 pages, 6 figure
