Ore samples collected from the cobalt mine of Qamsar, Kāshān, were studied using optical microscopy (OM), qualitative X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), semi-quantitative X-ray fluo-rescence spectrometry (XRF) and quantitative electron... more
Cobalt is a naturally occurring element found in rocks, soil, water, plants, and animals and has diverse industrial importance. It is cycled in surface environments through many natural processes (e.g. volcanic eruptions, weathering) and... more
The dielectric properties and AC conductivity of Au/polyvinyl alcohol (Co, Ni-doped)/n-Si Schottky diodes (SDs) were investigated in the frequency range 1 kHz–1 MHz and in the temperature range 80–400 K. The frequency and temperature... more
A 'critical metal' is one that has important economic uses, but which also faces supply risks for geopolitical or environmental and sustainability reasons. The constrained nature of critical metals supply means proposed solutions to the... more
Current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of Au/PVA(Co,Ni-doped)/n-Si (111) SBDs have been investigated in the temperature range of 280-400 K. The zero-bias barrier height (ΦB0) and ideality factor (n) determined from the forward bias I–V... more
The density of states (DoS), electronic band structure and Fermi surfaces of compressed cobalt over 0-200 GPa and copper at 0 GPa have been simulated using ab initio density functional (DFT) calculations on Materials Studio using the... more
We explore the effects of the elemental site occupancy in g 0-A 3 B (L1 2) intermetallic phases and their partitioning across the g/g 0 interface in a class of multicomponent W-free Co-based superalloys. Atom probe tomography and first... more
Ammonia sensing characteristics of undoped and cobalt (Co)-doped nanostructured ZnO thin films were investigated. Polycrystalline nature with hexagonal wurtzite structure and high crystalline quality with dominant (002) plane orientation... more
Adsorption of Co(II) ions from aqueous solutions onto Tea and Coffee powders has been examined in a batch adsorption process. The adsorption of Co(II) ions was found to be dependent on contact time, pH of solution, initial metal ion... more
The electrochemical detection of H2O2 was investigated on a cobalt oxide nanoparticles modified glassy carbon electrode in phosphate buffer solution (pH 7). Cyclic voltammetry at potential range −1.1 to 1.1 V from CoCl2 natural aqueous... more
This paper presents exhaust gas emissions characteristcs of a new direct injection (DI) compressed natural gas (CNG) engine using a low cost catalytic conveter (Catco). The pollutants exhaust gas emissions measured were CO, HC and NOx... more
In this study, we prepared the Schiff base ligand (L) and its Cu(II), Co(II) and Ni(II) complexes. The compounds were characterized by the analytical and spectroscopic methods. The ligand (L) behaves as a bidentate ligand and coordinates... more
We report the enhancement of fracture toughness and strength of a cobalt tantalum-based metallic glass thin film with increasing boron content. The improvement of the mechanical performance is attributed to the formation of a... more
Surface roughness of cast metal frameworks may lead to difficulties in finishing or polishing procedures and weaken the framework.The aim of this study was to assess the surface roughness of 2 base metal alloys, submitted to different... more
Ferromanganese nodules and crusts contain relatively high concentration of rare earth elements (REE) and yttrium (REY), with a growing interest in exploitation as an alternative to land-based REY resources. On the basis of comprehensive... more
Several studies have shown nickel and cobalt release from jewellery by using spot tests, but the metal composition of jewellery is largely unknown. To evaluate the metal composition of a large worldwide sample of mainly inexpensive... more
