Technical report. From Abstract : "Bis(di-2-ethylbutylphosphinyl)methane, EBDPM, forms complexes with uranium (VI) nitrate and thorium (IV) nitrate in which EBDPM acts as a bidentate ligand and the nitrato groups appear to be coordinated. The complex with uranium (VI) is a monomer, UO2(NO3)29EBDPM), while the complex with thorium in a dimer, [Th(NO3)4]2(EBDPM)3. Both complexes are of high thermal stability."

Technical report. From Abstract : "A number of imaging furnace systems and sources are discussed with emphasis on the carbon arc image furnace. Several potential applications of the carbon arc image furnace in high temperature research are described and a new method of heat capacity determination is discussed."

From abstract: "Sintering is broadly defined as all aspects of the adhesion, densification, shrinkage, and consolidation which accompanies the reduction in surface energy of a powder compact which occurs upon application of heat and/or pressure. The process of sintering is then further divided into the initiation, material transport, and grain growth-recrystallization stages. A general review is made of each of these stages, noting typical work which has contributed to progress in each area involved."

From introduction: "The basic interactions which give rise to the interesting magnetic properties of dilute alloys, such as cobalt in palladium, have received a great deal of attention both theoretically and experimentally. This problem has many facets which are peculiarly interrelated. For example, there is the problem of Curie points of the order of magnitude of 10°K for concentrations of 'magnetic' ions of 0.1%. It has been proposed that this problem involves virtual d-states (Friedel) which permit one to understand much of what is observed."
