Analytical-scale separations of lanthanides : a review of techniques and fundamentals. (open access)

Analytical-scale separations of lanthanides : a review of techniques and fundamentals.

Separations chemistry is at the heart of most analytical procedures to determine the rare earth content of both man-made and naturally occurring materials. Such procedures are widely used in mineral exploration, fundamental geology and geochemistry, material science, and in the nuclear industry. Chromatographic methods that rely on aqueous solutions containing complexing agents sensitive to the lanthanide cationic radius and cation-exchange phase transfer reactions (using a variety of different solid media) have enjoyed the greatest success for these procedures. In this report, they will briefly summarize the most important methods for completing such analyses. they consider in some detail the basic aqueous (and two-phase) solution chemistry that accounts for separations that work well and offer explanations for why others are less successful.

The ARM-GCSS Intercomparison Study of Single-Column Models and Cloud System Models (open access)

The ARM-GCSS Intercomparison Study of Single-Column Models and Cloud System Models

The Single-Column Model (SCM) Working Group (WC) and the Cloud Working Group (CWG) in the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Program have begun a collaboration with the GEWEX Cloud System Study (GCSS) WGs. The forcing data sets derived from the special ARM radiosonde measurements made during the SCM Intensive Observation Periods (IOPs), the wealth of cloud and related data sets collected by the ARM Program, and the ARM infrastructure support of the SCM WG are of great value to GCSS. In return, GCSS brings the efforts of an international group of cloud system modelers to bear on ARM data sets and ARM-related scientific questions. The first major activity of the ARM-GCSS collaboration is a model intercomparison study involving SCMs and cloud system models (CSMs), also known as cloud-resolving or cloud-ensemble models. The SCM methodologies developed in the ARM Program have matured to the point where an intercomparison will help identify the strengths and weaknesses of various approaches. CSM simulations will bring much additional information about clouds to evaluate cloud parameterizations used in the SCMs. CSMs and SCMs have been compared successfully in previous GCSS intercomparison studies for tropical conditions. The ARM Southern Great Plains (SGP) site offers an opportunity for GCSS …

An Assessment of Recycled Refractory Material Performance After Two Years of Service in a Carbon Bake Furnace (open access)

An Assessment of Recycled Refractory Material Performance After Two Years of Service in a Carbon Bake Furnace

Material removed from carbon bake furnaces used to manufacture anodes for the production of aluminum metal has historically been disposed by landfill. This material is composed primarily of 50% alumina refractory. in 1997, Alcoa completed a highly successful program to reuse the spent refractories in castables for carbon bake furnace headwalls and flooring, as roadbed aggregate, and in other internal applications. This program recycled/reused 11,000 metric tons of used refractory material (99% of the material removed from the carbon bake furnace) and saved Alcoa over 3.8 of the 9.6 million dollar projected furnace rebuild costs. As assessment is made of the performance of the recycled refractory components after two years of service.

Characterization of amorphous silicon thin films and PV devices: Phase 1 annual technical report: January 1998--January 1999 (open access)

Characterization of amorphous silicon thin films and PV devices: Phase 1 annual technical report: January 1998--January 1999

Major accomplishments of the previous year include: (1) an evaluation of the potential for n-type doping of a-SiS{sub x}:H and a-SiSe{sub x}:H alloys, (2) an investigation of the optically induced metastabilities in a-SiS{sub x}:H and a-SiSe{sub x}:H alloys with regard to their potential use in photovoltaic applications, and (3) a more detailed understanding of the kinetics of light-induced electron spin resonance (ESR) due to carriers trapped in localized band-tail states in a-Si:H. Also of importance are preliminary measurements of the defects and metastabilities in hot-wire samples of a-Si:H and in samples of a-Si:H made under strong hydrogen dilution. The preliminary measurements on hydrogen dilution suggest that the production of neutral silicon dangling bonds is not suppressed from the standard material even though there appears to be an improvement in the stability of cells made using the hydrogen-dilution process. The new three-chamber, load-locked plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition system is functioning and producing intrinsic and doped films of a-Si:H. Plans for the next year include the production of high quality devices using this new deposition system.

Density Functional Theory of Simple Polymers in a Slit Pore: 1. Theory and Efficient Algorithm (open access)

Density Functional Theory of Simple Polymers in a Slit Pore: 1. Theory and Efficient Algorithm

Previous applications of DF theory required a single chain Monte Carlo simulation to be performed within a self-consistent loop. In the current work, a methodology is developed which permits the simulation to be taken out of the iterative loop. Consequently, the calculation of the self-consistent, medium-induced-potential, or field, is decoupled from the simulation. This approach permits different densities, different forms of U{sub M}(r), and different wall-polymer interactions to be investigated from a single Monte Carlo simulation. The increase in computational efficiency is immense.
