On the very long term evolutionary behavior of hydrogen-accreting Low-Mass CO white dwarfs [PDF]
, 1999 Hydrogen-rich matter has been added to a CO white dwarf of initial mass 0.516 \msun at the rates $10^{-8}$ and $2\times 10^{-8}$ \msun \yrm1, and results are compared with those for a white dwarf of the same initial mass which accretes pure helium at the

Thermoelectric Modules Incorporating MgAgSb and Mg3(Sb,Bi)2 Synthesized Using a Melting Method
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.A scalable synthesis method for a thermoelectric material of MgAgSb is established. A thermoelectric power module of MgAgSb/Mg3(Sb,Bi)2 is fabricated, showing the conversion efficiency of 7.4% at ΔT = 315 K. The performance is comparable to conventional Bi2Te3 modules when they are operated with an air‐cooled heat exchanger.
