Characterization of Long-Term Sub-Hourly Thermal Comfort Performance Data

November 1, 2020
Author(s)
Hyojin Kim, Lisa C. Ng, Brian P. Dougherty, William V. Payne
Current thermal comfort standards do not provide guidelines on how to graphically characterize and benchmark long-term, sub-hourly, thermal comfort. In an effort to address this void, several statistical characterizations and advanced visualization methods

Crystal Chemistry, X-ray Diffraction Reference Patterns, and Band Gap Studies for (BaxSr1-x)2CoWO6 (x=0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 0.9)

Winnie K. Wong-Ng, Guangyao Liu, Yuqi Yang, Rola M. Derbeshi, Donald A. Windover, James A. Kaduk
X-ray reference powder patterns and structures have been determined for a series of cobalt- and tungsten-containing cubic alkaline-earth perovskites, (BaxSr1-x)2CoWO6 (x=0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 0.9). The structure of the end members of the series

Crystal Chemistry and Phase Equilibria of the CaO- 1/2Ho2O3-CoOz System at 885 degC in Air

July 2, 2020
Author(s)
Winnie K. Wong-Ng, William J. Laws, Qingzhen Huang, Jie Hou, James A. Kaduk, Saul H. Lapidus, Lynn Ribaud
The phase diagram of the CaO-½Ho2O3-CoOz system was determined at 885 ºC in air. This diagram offers detailed compatibility relationships in the ternary oxide system that are essential for processing and for the understanding of thermoelectric properties

Efficient hybrid mixed-ion perovskite photovoltaics: in situ diagnostics of the roles of cesium and potassium alkali cation addition
