Technetium: The Element That Was Discovered Twice

October 16, 2008
Author(s)
J T. Armstrong
If you read about technetium in the Handbook of Chemistry and Physics (see Technetium at a Glance) you might think you knew all you needed to about its discovery and existence. That s how I felt the first time I had to deal with this rare element. But

Temperature Dependent Magnetization Reversal in (Co/Pt)/Ru Multilayers

October 16, 2008
Author(s)
Joseph E. Davies, O Hellwig, E E. Fullerton, K Liu
Antiferromagnetically coupled (Co/Pt)/Ru multilayers with perpendicular anisotropy have been shown to exhibit both vertically and laterally correlated magnetization reversal modes. In this work the magnetization reversal of a multilayer film whose layer

The Discovery of Type-IV Binary Fluid Phase Behavior

October 16, 2008
Author(s)
Johanna Levelt Sengers
The analysis by Scott and Van Konynenburg of the binary Van der Waals mixture for constant excluded volume uncovered the Type-IV phase diagram as a transition between Type-II and Type-III phase diagrams. The common boundary of the regions of Type-II and

The Effect of Bi Contamination on the Solidification Behavior of Sn-Pb Solders

October 16, 2008
Author(s)
Kil-Won Moon, Ursula R. Kattner, C A. Handwerker
This paper presents experimental results and theoretical calculations that evaluate the effects of Bi contamination on the solidification behavior of Sn-Pb alloys. The pasty (mushy) range, the type of solidification path, and the microstructure of the
