Thermal conductivity of open‐cell polyolefin foams

The thermal conductivity and the cellular structure of novel open‐cell polyolefin foams produced by compression molding and based on blends of an ethylene‐vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) and a low‐density polyethylene (LDPE) have been studied in the temperature range between 24 and 50 °C. The experimental results have shown that the cellular structure of the analyzed materials has interconnected cells because of the presence of large and small holes in the cell walls, this structure being clearly different to the typical structure of open‐cell polyurethane foams. It has been found that at low temperatures the materials have a slightly higher thermal conductivity than closed‐cell polyolefin foams of similar densities. The different mechanisms of heat flow, conduction, convection, and radiation have been analyzed by using experimental measurements and a theoretical model. It has been proved that, in spite of having an open‐cell structure, the convention mechanism is negligible, being the radiation mechanism the one which made different the conductivity of materials with varying cellular structures. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A new family of ternary intermetallic superconducting/magnetic stannides

A new family of rare earth-rhodium-tin intermetallic compounds, with the representative formula (RE)Rh_xSn_y, has been synthesized in single crystal form. The compounds containing the heavier rare earths are superconducting and those with the lighter rare earths are generally magnetic. The compound ErRh_1.1Sn_3.6 exhibits reentrant superconductivity with T_c = 0.97 K and T_m = 0.57 K as determined from ac magnetic susceptibility measurements. The synthesis and X-ray characterization of the series are described and the results of electrical resistivity, upper critical magnetic field, magnetic susceptibility, specific heat and neutron scattering measurements on the Er compound are given.

We study the relaxation limit for the Aw-Rascle system of traffic flow.

The 120 K phase transition in ZrV₂ has been investigated for magnetic and crystallographic effects using neutron diffraction. A cubic-rhombohedral martensitic transformation was observed at 116.7 K. No local magnetic moments, either ordered or disordered, were found to exist between 5.4 K and 300 K.     

Direct observation of long range ferromagnetic order in the reentrant superconductor HoMo6S8

The neutron scattering technique has been used to investigate the magnetic properties of the ternary Chevrel-phase superconductor HoMo₆S₈. Magnetic critical scattering is observed in the superconducting phase, with the magnetic correlation range increasing with decreasing temperature. At the transition in which the normal state is reentered, the system is found to develop long range ferromagnetic order, with a saturated magnetic moment at low temperatures of 9.06 ± .3 μ_B and the spin direction along the unique [111] trigonal axis.
