The erosion of titanium aluminide intermetallic alloys
The erosion behaviour of titanium aluminide intermetallic alloys has not been widely reported in the scientific literature and is part of the current international research effort aimed at exploiting these materials for turbine engine and automotive applications. In the present study titanium …

Rapid Solidification Processing of High Temperature and Reactive Alloys
… producing high temperature and reactive metal alloys through rapid solidification processing (RSP). An empirical approach has been used to develop these processes. Several unique configurations of melting and quenching have been evaluated. Induction, DC-arc and plasma have been considered for …

Exchange-Correlation Kernels Within Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory For Ground-State and Excited-State Properties
… of cesium halides. Next, we explored binary intermetallic alloys, where we showed that RPA successfully predicts the accurate formation energies of weakly bonded alloys. However, a kernel corrected RPA is needed when dealing with strongly bonded alloys with partially filled d-band metals. We …

Thermodynamics of Micellar Lyotropic Liquid Crystals
… in low-symmetry unit cells. Ubiquitous in intermetallic alloys, FK phases have been recapitulated in other soft materials including dendritic thermotropic liquid crystals, giant-shape surfactants, and block polymers. The observation of these complex morphologies across different soft …

Metal Hydride Heat Pumps for Thermal Management of Devices
Metal hydrides have very high volumetric energy densities which makes metal hydride heat pumps (MHHPs) particularly efficient devices. Further, a metal hydride heat pump (MHHP) can be tuned to cover a wide range of temperatures. Most phase change materials (PCMs) have a fixed phase change …
