It also discusses the primary and secondary ...
Distributions of zirconium, hafnium, and niobium in the …
Zirconium (Zr), hafnium (Hf), niobium (Nb), and tantalum (Ta) are incompatible elements that do not easily enter the crystals of rock-forming minerals because they form highly charged ions. The concentrations of the four elements in seawater are extremely low (pmol/kg) and they exist as hydroxide complexes, such as Zr(OH) 5 −, …
Hafnium: Twin Brother of Zirconium | SpringerLink
Zirconium has a twin brother—especially geochemically. The brother is called hafnium, is the 72nd chemical element and also belongs to the IV. group of the periodic table of the elements, the titanium group. With zirconium and hafnium we have to do with an extreme case of practically identical ionic radii and charges: The radius of the ...
Zirconium and hafnium catalyzed C–C single bond …
Herein, we report the development of an unprecedented catalytic system that resulted in the realization of the zirconium- and hafnium-catalyzed C−C single-bond hydroboration (Fig. 1d ). Mechanistic studies support the formation of N−Zr IV species and then a β-carbon elimination route for C−C single bond activation.
A reactive force-field for Zirconium and Hafnium Di-Boride
Zirconium and Hafnium Di-Boride are the two major material systems that are of critical importance for applications in ultra-high temperature environments where both oxidation and mechanical damage mechanisms (such as creep) are operative. Atomistic simulations of these materials at finite temperatures have been hampered due to the ...
Oxidation behavior of novel ultra-high temperature hafnium-zirconium …
The oxidation resistance of hafnium-zirconium carbides and carbonitrides was also compared with the oxidation resistance of hafnium carbonitride HfC 0.5 N 0.35 (notation in the manuscript is Hf(C,N)). Hf(C,N) bulk samples were obtained similarly to carbides and carbonitrides: a mechanically activated Hf+0.5C mixture was burned in a …
The sulphides, Selenides, and Tellurides of Titanium, Zirconium
