Thermal conductivity reduction by nanostructuration in electrodeposited CuNi alloys

“…The maximum value at room temperature is observed for the CuNi alloy with 55% of Cu, but all the alloys present similar values considering the experimental errors. It seems that the CuNi alloys grown in this study are thermally stable up to approximately When comparing the maximum power factor observed in literature for nanostructured CuNi alloys, 5530 µW/m•K 2 at 300 ºC for Cu 50 Ni 5038 , our value at this temperature is 5600 µW/m•K2 for Cu 65 Ni 35 ; indicating that both values are very close. Cu 0.65 Ni 0.35 , Cu 0.55 Ni 0.45 , and Cu 0.45 Ni 0.55 , respectively.…”

“…CuNi alloys have received wide attention due to their interesting mechanical properties 1,2 (high tensile strength and good wear resistance), anticorrosion 3 , electrocatalytic 4 , and electrical properties 5 , as well as their magnetic properties (which depend on the CuNi composition) 1, 6 .…”

Experimental investigation and thermodynamic calculations of the Cu–In–Ni phase diagram

“…On the other hand, nickel substrates are massively applied in electronic devices [6]. Moreover, there is a significant and increasing interest in Ni-Cu alloys [7][8][9][10] which is related to their good corrosion resistance [11][12][13][14], mechanical [15][16][17], magnetic [18,19] and optical properties [20]. Because of the expressed dynamic activity of Ni-Cu systems, their role as efficient and chemically stable catalysts is of growing interest [21][22][23] as well.…”

Applications of exchange coupled bi-magnetic hard/soft and soft/hard magnetic core/shell nanoparticles

“…Knowing the geometry of the material, its distance to the ion detector, and the time of travel of the ions, it is possible to reconstruct in 3D the morphology of the original material at atomic resolution [214]. Atom-probe microscopy-tomography has been used to study, for instance, the compositional gradients in SmCo 5 /α-Fe milled powders showing the formation of α-Fe nanoparticles in a SmCo 5 matrix, Cu-Co granular alloys and CuNi nanostructures [215,216].…”
