Due to the extremely high chemical reactivity of gadolinium (Gd), especially the removal
difficulty of trace impurities, preparation of ultra-high purity Gd is challenging. Herein, we …

The oxidation process of cerium in air (by oxygen and water vapor) is elucidated by
combining structural and compositional analyses of the oxide with time. The oxide contains …

The dysprosium-hydrogen (Dy-H) binary system in the full range of H/Dy= 0 to 3.0 is
investigated by accurate pressure composition isotherm (PCI) measurement, including a PCI …

The thermodynamics of the gadolinium-hydrogen (Gd–H) binary system (H/Gd= 0.0–2.0)
between 650 and 900° C is studied by pressure composition isotherm measurement …

The rare-earth metal Gd plays an important role in the energy, information, and national
defence fields due to its special optical, electrical, magnetic, and catalytic properties. In this …

The influence of Ga on the adsorption and solubility of H on Ga-stabilized δ-Pu alloys is
investigated using density functional theory and experimentally via a Sieverts' apparatus. All …

The effect of Al substitution on the hydrogen absorption in Zr (AlxV1− x) 2, x= 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.5,
has been examined at the pressure range 10− 4–1000Torr for temperatures between 400 …

The removal of non-metallic impurities, especially oxygen and nitrogen, from the rare-earth
metal gadolinium (Gd) is challenging, due to their strong affinity to Gd metal. Herein we …
