Numerous phosphorus-rich metal phosphides containing both P-P bonds and metal-P bonds are known from the solid state chemistry literature. Yet, very little is known about the thin- film synthesizability and properties of even the simplest binary compounds

Now that all base units are defined in terms of fundamental constants and can thus — at least in principle — be realized anytime and anywhere, rather than through a measurement chain leading back to unique physical artefacts, who holds the traceability

Metallic additive manufacturing (AM) provides a customizable and tailorable manufacturing process for new engineering designs and technologies. The greatest challenge currently facing metallic AM is maintaining control of microstructural evolution during
Embedded 3D printing enables the manufacture of soft, intricate structures. In the technique, a nozzle is embedded into a viscoelastic support bath and extrudes filaments or droplets. While embedded 3D printing expands the printable materials space to low
Ferroelectric organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites (OIHP) with Rashba effect have been considered as new quantum semiconductor materials for physics and materials research in the field of spintronics and optoelectronics. We used first-principles to

We present a new wide-ranging correlation expressed in terms of temperature and density for the viscosity of difluoromethane (R-32) based on critically evaluated experimental data. The correlation is designed to be used with an existing equation of state
Spinel-type LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 (LNMO) is one of the most promising 5 V-class cathode materials for Li-ion batteries that can achieve high energy density and low production costs. However, in liquid electrolyte cells, the high voltage causes continuous cell

The increasing CO$_2$ level is a critical concern and suitable materials are needed to directly capture such gases from the environment. While experimental and conventional computational methods are useful in finding such materials, they are usually slow
NIST DTSA-II is an open-source, comprehensive software platform for the analysis and simulation of electron-excited energy dispersive X-ray spectra (EDS). EDS spectrum simulation uses an embedded Monte Carlo electron trajectory calculation with generation

The formation and thermal stability of Pt surface oxides on Pt thin film were studied in situ using ambient pressure x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (AP-XPS). AP-XPS allows us to monitor the chemical states of both adsorbed reactants and underlying

A globular α phase recrystallization has been discovered at the surface of net shape electron beam powder-bed fusion (PBF-EB) Ti-6Al-4V alloy parts. This globular surface is the result of typical powder recovery blasting followed by a hot isostatic
A new Helmholtz energy equation of state is presented for trans-1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoroprop-1-ene [R1233zd(E)], which is expressed with temperature and density as the independent variables. Experimental data in the range of temperatures from 215 K to 444

Changes in the chemo-electrical intrinsic properties of metal-oxide materials (MO) are commonly used as the basis of gas sensors. The most common gas sensors are based on chemically induced changes in electrical resistivity which necessarily involve making
This table gives physical properties, safe exposure limits, GWP and ODP for compounds that have been used as working fluids in traditional refrigeration systems or are under consideration as replacements in newer systems. Some are also used as solvents
NIST DTSA-II is a free, open access, and fully-documented comprehensive software platform for electron-excited X-ray microanalysis with energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS), including tools for quantification, measurement optimization, and spectrum

Controlling the pressure at which liquids intrude (wet) and extrude (dry) into/from nanopore is of paramount importance for a broad range of applications, such as energy conversion, catalysis, chromatography, separation, ionic channels, and many more. To
NIST has developed a user-friendly spreadsheet-based software package for the Master Curve analysis of fracture toughness tests performed in the ductile-to-brittle transition region and the determination of the reference temperature To, in accordance with
A new fundamental equation of state is presented for 2,3,3,3-tetra uoroprop-1-ene (R1234yf). The equation is valid from the triple point temperature (121.6 K) to 410 K at pressures up to 100 MPa, where typical expanded uncertainties (k = 2) in calculated
