Thermal expansion and magnetic properties of benzoquinone-bridged dinuclear rare-earth complexes.
2017
The synthesis and structural characterization of two benzoquinone-bridged dinuclear rare-earth complexes [BQ(MCl2·THF3)2] (BQ = 2,5-bisoxide-1,4-benzoquinone; M = Y (1), Dy (2)) are described. Of these reported metal complexes, the dysprosium analogue 2 is the first discrete bridged dinuclear lanthanide complex in which both metal centres reside in pentagonal bipyramidal environments. Interestingly, both complexes undergo significant thermal expansion upon heating from 120 K to 293 K as illustrated by single-crystal X-ray and powder diffraction experiments. AC magnetic susceptibility measurements reveal that 2 does not show the slow relation of magnetization in zero dc field. The absent of …
Computational and theoretical studies on lattice thermal conductivity and thermal properties of silicon clathrates
2016
The lattice thermal conductivity is usually an intrinsic property in the study of thermoelectricity. In particular, relatively low lattice thermal conductivity is usually a desired feature when higher thermoelectric efficiency is pursued. The mechanisms which lower the lattice thermal conductivity are not known in sufficient detail and deeper understanding about the phenomena is needed and if such understanding is achieved it can be used to design more efficient thermoelectric materials. In this thesis, the lattice thermal conductivity and other thermal properties of several silicon clathrates, which are known to be promising candidates for the thermoelectric applications, are studied by theoreti…
European social model in making : European Commission reporting on Romania between 1999-2006
2007
The European Union is often described as being an economic giant but a political dwarf. True enough, the European project started with economics, but has gone a long way since the time that it was only about economy. In Europe, there are obviously many different types of social models and welfare regimes. In addition to national models and regimes, there is an ongoing process at the European level that can be characterised as a search for “European social model”. This process involves both the institutions of the European Union as well as the member states. Political (and economic) battle that is being waged concentrates on what “European social model” should look like and who gets to defin…
