Surface structure and catalytic activity of amorphous metallic alloys Fe-Nb-B-RE (RE = Y, Gd, Tb, Dy) in alkaline solution by L Boichyshyn, M-O Danyliak, B Kotur

“…The thermal stability and characteristics of the surface of the Fe 82 Nb 2 B 14 RE 2 (RE = Y, Gd, Tb, Dy) amorphous alloys were studied by differential scanning calorimetry and atomic force microscopy methods. Alloying of the Fe 84 Nb 2 B 14 alloy by 2 at.% of RE results to increase of nanocrystallization temperature on 110 K for amorphous Fe 82 Nb 2 B 14 RE 2 (RE = Y, Gd, Tb, Dy). …”

Generalized approach for rapid entropy calculation of liquids and solids by Qi-Jun Hong, Zi-Kui Liu

“…The most arduous component to quantify, the configurational entropy, is assessed by probability analysis of the local structural arrangement and atomic distribution. We illustrate, through a variety of examples, that this method is both a versatile and valid technique for characterizing the thermodynamic states of both solids and liquids. …”

A DFT Study on Selected Physical Organic Aspects of the Fischer Carbene Intermediates [(M(CO)4(C(OMe)Me)] by Tareq Irshaidat

“…This conclusion was made based on calculated NMR data (for carbon and hydrogen), structural parameters, energy calculations of conformers (C-C conformation), selected IR stretching frequencies (C-O, C-C, and C-H), and atomic charges. The agostic interaction is most efficient in case of chromium and in general is described as an overlap between the σ-bond electron pair of C-H with an empty d-orbital of the metal. …”
