The phonon density-of-states (DOS) summarizes the lattice vibrational modes supported by a structure, and gives access to rich information about the material's stability, thermodynamic constants, and thermal transport coefficients. Here, we present an

Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are mixed M(II) and M(III) hydroxides with positively charged lamellar brucite layers and interlayered anions. LDHs attracted significant attention due to their anion and cation-exchange ability, adsorption capacity, and
Methods are presented in this chapter foremost for estimating the volumetric behavior of pure gases and liquids as a function of temperature and pressure. Relationships between P, V, and T are formally known as equations of state (EOSs).
Methods are presented in this chapter to estimate the volumetric, enthalpic, and entropic properties and their derivatives for mixtures of gases and liquids as a function of temperature, pressure, and composition as expressed in mole, mass, or volume
Vapor liquid equilibrium (VLE) in mixtures is strongly influenced by the vapor pressures of the pure components, especially when one compound is highly concentrated. This means that the bubble pressure is relatively insensitive to infinite dilution

The properties of pure components are important for all aspects of process design and optimization. Pure-component properties also underlie much of the observed behavior of mixtures. For example, property models intended for the whole range of composition

This chapter describes methods to estimate the standard state enthalpy, Gibbs energy of formation, and the absolute entropy, for compounds in the ideal-gas standard state.

Wearables and strain sensors have attracted much attention for applications in monitoring human motions and health. However, state-of-the-art sensors lack sensing reliability in changing temperature and humidity conditions. In this study, we design and
Polyelectrolyte complexes (PECs), assemblies of oppositely charged polymers with powerful properties and wide-ranging applications, are currently not melt-processable via any conventional means and have been limited commercially to applications only as

Gas phase reactions between OH radicals and three 2-Butenes were studied using a flash photolysis resonance-fluorescence technique over the temperature range 220 K to 370 K. Rate constants of OH reactions with cis-2-buten and trans-2-butene were found to
Electrolytic conductivity measurements of four n-alkyl-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide, ([Cnmpyr][Tf2N] and six aryl-substituted imidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ionic liquids are reported at p = 0.1 MPa in a range of
Reductions in instrument size, weight, and power continue to facilitate the development and application of field-deployable devices for investigative purposes. Portable analytical instrumentation supporting the rapid and reliable identification of two

Isotope dilution mass spectrometry was used to independently assess the accuracy of mass measurement methods developed to quantitatively dispense milligram quantities of aqueous solution. Solutions of isotopically enriched 158Gd and enriched 155Gd were

The US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) developed a Standard Reference Material® (SRM®) 3949 Folate Vitamers in Frozen Human Serum to replace SRM 1955 Homocysteine and Folate in Human Serum. The presence of increased endogenous levels
In this work thermodynamic models based upon the corresponding states framework with departure terms are developed for the refrigerant pairs R-32/1234yf, R-32/1234ze(E), R-1234ze(E)/227ea, R-1234yf/152a, and R-125/1234yf. These models are based on new
Thermophysical and thermochemical property data are needed for process design, assuring industrial safety, and many other applications. However, finding and accessing them may be challenging and dependent on the object type: commodity and specialty
We provide an overview of Ukrainian thermophysical research, its historical part and current state. The overview is supplemented by a database indexing thermophysical properties for molecular systems and alloys, as well as lists of scientific journals and
Isobaric specific heat capacities were measured for nine separate aviation turbine fuel samples. The nine samples span the range of fuel types available, including four conventional petroleum-derived fuels, three synthetic fuels derived from the Fischer

Doping of Si using the scanning probe technique of hydrogen depassivation lithography has been shown to enable placing and positioning small numbers of P atoms with nanometer accuracy. Several groups have now used this capability to build devices that

We develop an empirical model for measured frequency-dependent insertion loss (|S21|). The model parameters are determined with a stochastic optimization implementation of the Leven-berg-Marquard method. We compare measured |S21| on TSV-interconnects from

We have leveraged chemical-induced changes to microwave signal propagation characteristics (i.e., S-parameters) to characterize the detection of aliphatic alcohol (methanol, ethanol, and 2-propanol) vapors using TCNQ-doped HKUST-1 metal-organic-framework
