    Slater Transition in the Pyrochlore Cd2Os2O7

    Cd2Os2O7 crystallizes in the pyrochlore structure and undergoes a metal-insulator transition (MIT) near 226 K. Here we present resistivity, heat capacity, and magnetization results on Cd2Os2O7. Both single crysta...

    Atomic Displacement Parameters: A Useful Tool in the Search for New Thermoelectric Materials?

    The atomic displacement parameters (ADPs) measure the mean-square displacement amplitude of an atom about its equilibrium position in a crystal. It is demonstrated that the ADPs can be used to identify crystal...

    The Formation of Metal/Metal-Matrix Nanocomposites by the Ultrasonic Dispersion of Immiscible Liquid Metals

    Ultrasonic energy has been used to disperse one liquid metallic component in a second immiscible liquid metal, thereby producing a metallic emulsion. Upon lowering the temperature of this emulsion below the me...
