Rh/CeO2+Pt/Ba/Mn/Al2O3 model NSR catalysts: Effect of Rh/Pt weight ratio
A series of model NOx storage-reduction (NSR) catalysts with different Rh/Pt weight ratios were prepared independently by wet impregnation and then mechanically mixed to investigate the effect of the Rh/Pt weight ratio on the overall NOx removal ...

Spin locking at the apex of nano-scale platinum tips [PDF]
Nanostructures based on platinum, such as small clusters or STM-tips, often exhibit an atomistic structure that relies upon one or very few strongly under-coordinated platinum atoms. Here, we analyze a paradigmatic example, an apex atom on a pyramidal platinum cluster employing the density functional theory.

Synthesis and properties of 0.3%Y2O3/0.3%La2O3/0.3%Al2O3/Cu composite
The 0.3%Y2O3/0.3%La2O3/0.3%Al2O3/Cu composite was prepared by oxygen and nitrogen atomization spray deposition technique, internal oxidation, and then treated by annealing at different temperatures.

Updated and novel limits on double beta decay and dark matter-induced processes in platinum [PDF]
A 510 day long-term measurement of a 45.3 g platinum foil acting as the sample and high voltage contact in an ultra-low-background high purity germanium detector was performed at Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (Italy). The data was used for a detailed study of double beta decay modes in natural platinum isotopes.

The Way of the Increasing Two Times the Efficiency of Silicon Solar Cell
Increase of the efficiency of the solar cells which are produced in industry, is important. Increase of efficiency of solar cells was identified, when nanoplasmonics phenomenon was formed in solar cell. So, in this article, influence of nanoparticles Pt,

First-principles molecular transport calculation for the benzenedithiolate molecule [PDF]
A first-principles approach based on Density Functional Theory and Non-Equilibrium Green's functions is used to study the molecular transport system consisting of benzenedithiolate connected with monoatomic gold and platinum electrodes. Using symmetry arguments we explain why the conductance mechanism is different for gold and platinum electrodes.

Thermal instability of decahedral structures in platinum nanoparticles [PDF]
We conduct molecular dynamics simulations of 887 and 1389-atom decahedral platinum nanoparticles using an embedded atom potential. By constructing microcanonical caloric curves, we identify structural transitions from decahedral to fcc in the particles prior to melting. The transitions take place during phase coexistence and appear to occur via melting
