Adsorption of benzene, phenol, propane and carbonic acid molecules on oxidized Al(111) and alpha-Al2O3(0001) surfaces: A first-principles study [PDF]
J. Phys.: Condens. Matter 21 (2009) 225001, 2009 We present the results of ab initio calculations describing the adsorption of certain small organic molecules on clean and oxidized Al(111) surfaces as well as on the alpha-Al2O3(0001) surface. Our results show that adsorption of benzene on the clean and oxidized Al(111) surfaces is generally weak, the adsorption energy being at most around -0.5 eV per

Clustering and Precipitation during Early-Stage Artificial Aging of Al–Si–Mg(–Cu) Foundry Alloys
Metals, 2023 High-Si aluminum foundry alloys are an important material class for products with complex 3D geometries where casting is the most suitable production method. With Mg and/or Cu additions, these alloys gain strength upon heat treatment due to the formation

Crack Detection Method Applied to 3D Computed Tomography Images of Baked Carbon Anodes
Metals, 2016 Carbon anodes used in the aluminium industry were imaged through destructive and non-destructive testing (NDT) methods. For the latter case, computed tomography (CT), which has previously been used to map the 3D apparent density distribution, was ...

Drop-coated Titanium Dioxide Memristors [PDF]
Materials Chemistry and Physics, Volume 143, Issue 2, 15 January
2014, Pages 524-529,, 2012 The fabrication of memristors by drop-coating sol-gel Ti(OH)$_4$ solution onto either aluminium foil or sputter-coated aluminium on plastic is presented. The gel layer is thick, 37$\mu$m, but both devices exhibit good memristance I-V profiles. The drop coated aluminium foil memristors compare favourably with the sputter-coated ones, demonstrating an ...
