Early rare earth metals (La, Ce, Pr, Nd) combined with late first row transition metals (Fe, Co, Ni) can produce low melting eutectic mixtures. For instance, a 75:25 mole percent mixture of La and Ni forms a eutectic that melts at 532 õC. We are inv....

Microwave chemistry is a field that is growing in popularity. Microwave radiation offers a more efficient means of heating compared to traditional thermal processes. The added efficiency comes from the idea of selective heating. It is important to un....
