Microstructure et usinabilité d'alliages de titane béta-métastable

Loïc Favre

Titanium has become in recent years an interesting material in many applications that require a combination of high mechanical properties and low density. It has the peculiarity of undergoing an allotropic transformation at 882°C. Below this temperature, ...

The formation of the milky way halo and its dwarf satellites: a NLTE-1D abundance analysis. IV. Segue 1, Triangulumii, and Coma Berenices UFDs

Pascale Jablonka

We present atmospheric parameters and abundances for chemical elements from carbon to barium in metal-poor stars in Segue 1 (seven stars), Coma Berenices (three stars), and Triangulum II (one star) ultrafaint dwarf galaxies (UFDs). The effective temperatur ...

Contributions to the Chemistry of N2O and 1-Alkynyltriazenes

Loïc Nicolas Jeanbourquin

This thesis describes the utilization of nitrous oxide N2O as an oxidant in oxidative cou-pling reactions and as a nitrogen atom donor in the synthesis of 1-alkynyltriazene and further reactivity of the latter. An overview of N2O and its reactivity is give ...

Detachment evolution on the TCV tokamak

Basil Duval, Kevin Henricus Annemarie Verhaegh, Holger Reimerdes, Benoît Labit, Christian Gabriel Theiler, Umar Sheikh, Marco Wischmeier, Cedric Kar-Wai Tsui, Wouter Vijvers

Divertor detachment in the TCV tokamak has been investigated through experiments and modelling. Density ramp experiments were carried out in ohmic heated L-mode pulses with the ion del B drift directed away from the primary X-point, similar to previous stu ...

Broadband extreme ultraviolet probing of transient gratings in vanadium dioxide

Jakob Grilj

Nonlinear spectroscopy in the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) and soft x-ray spectral range offers the opportunity for element selective probing of ultrafast dynamics using core-valence transitions (Mukamel et al., Acc. Chem. Res. 42, 553 (2009)). We demonstrate ...

A Pyridine-Based Ligand with Two Hydrazine Functions for Lanthanide Chelation: Remarkable Kinetic Inertness for a Linear, Bishydrated Complex

Lothar Helm, Eva Jakab Toth

To study the influence of hydrazine functions in the ligand skeleton, we designed the heptadentate HYD ligand (2,2',2 '',2 ''-(2,2'-(pyridine-2,6-diyl)bis(2-methylhydrazine-2,1,1-triyl)) tetraacetic acid) and compared the thermodynamic, kinetic, and relaxa ...

Non-uraninite products of microbial U(VI) reduction

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Elena Suvorova Buffat, Harish Veeramani, Jonathan Sharp, Elena Cristina Dalla Vecchia, Nicholas Wigginton

A promising remediation approach to mitigate subsurface uranium contamination is the stimulation of indigenous bacteria to reduce mobile U(VI) to sparingly soluble U(IV). The product of microbial uranium reduction is often reported as the mineral uraninite ...
