ABSTRACTTwo refractory material systems show promise for efficient energy conversion at high temperatures (>1000 K): the rare-earth chalcogenides and the boron-rich borides. The electronic and thermal transport properties of these two systems are compared and discussed.

The kinetic theory of gases can be used to accurately calculate the transport properties of gases based on knowledge of the intermolecular potential between the interacting atoms, molecules or ions. This approach has been especially useful at high temperatures where experimental transport data are either sparse or unavailable. In recent years, increasingly accurate potentials for atom-atom and atom-ion interactions have become available for such calculations, and approaches for applying these potentials to calculate the high temperature thermophysical properties of gases are described.

This paper is the first of a series reporting our investigations into the high-temperature properties of the monovalent metals. It contains a description of the methods used in these investigations, and the results of measurements of the transport properties of pure copper, over the temperature range 300–1 250 °K. These results are compared with some previously published work, and also with standard theoretical expressions applicable to the monovalent metals.

ABSTRACTSingle phase erbium borides ErB2, ErB4, and ErB12 show Seebeck coefficients and power factors with absolute values that are significantly lower than those of a stable Er-B multi phase composite obtained through high temperature solid-solid reaction from the elements (molar ratio Er:B = 1:6). According to quantitative Rietveld analysis the composite consists of erbium diboride (1 %), tetraboride (83 %), and dodecaboride (16 %), and the measurement of the electrical conductivities, Seebeck coefficients, and thermal conductivities leads to ZT values as high as 0.53 at 830 K. Such refractory materials can be used for energy conversion in a range of high temperatures that are otherwise difficult to address.

Abstract The study involved measurements of surface tension of liquid binary copper-bismuth alloys with respect to their chemical composition and temperature as well as investigations of the liquid alloy - refractory material - gaseous phase system wettability using usual refractory materials, i.e. aluminium oxide, magnesium oxide and graphite. The experiments were performed with the use of sessile drop method and a high-temperature microscope coupled with a camera and a computer was utilised.
