Materials Data on LaCoTe by Materials Project

LaCoTe is half-Heusler structured and crystallizes in the cubic F-43m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. La is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Co and six equivalent Te atoms. All La–Co bond lengths are 2.85 Å. All La–Te bond lengths are 3.29 Å. Co is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent La and four equivalent Te atoms. All Co–Te bond lengths are 2.85 Å. Te is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent La and four equivalent Co atoms.

Thermal Stability of Otto Fuel Prepolymer

Otto Fuel II contains a nitrate ester, plasticizer, and 2-NPDA as a stabilizer. Otto Fuel with stabilizers from three vendors was investigated by dynamic and isothermal differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) using samples sealed in a glass ampoule and by Isothermal Microcalorimetry (IMC) using 10 gram samples aged at 75 C for 35 days. DSC kinetics did not show differences between the stabilizer; the samples had an activation energy of 36.7 +/- 0.6 kcal/mol. However, IMC analysis was sensitive enough to detect small differences between the stabilizer, namely energy of interaction values of 7 to 14 Joules. DSC controlled cooling and heating at 5 C/min from 30 to -60 to 40 C experiments were similar and showed a crystallization peak at -48 +/- 1 C during cooling, and upon heating there was a glass transition temperature step at approx. -54 +/- 0.5 C and a melting peak at -28 +/- 0.4 C.
