Nickel nuclear properties

The elements will be discussed in the order of increasing atomic number in the Periodic Table, i.e. nickel, zinc, technetium, ruthenium, silver, hafnium, tantalum, tungsten, rhem um, osmium, iridium, platinum, gold, and mercury. Full numerical data of the relevant nuclear properties are summarized, as for other elements, in Appendix 1. 

Nonferrous alloys account for only about 2 wt % of the total chromium used ia the United States. Nonetheless, some of these appHcations are unique and constitute a vital role for chromium. Eor example, ia high temperature materials, chromium ia amounts of 15—30 wt % confers corrosion and oxidation resistance on the nickel-base and cobalt-base superaHoys used ia jet engines the familiar electrical resistance heating elements are made of Ni-Cr alloy and a variety of Ee-Ni and Ni-based alloys used ia a diverse array of appHcations, especially for nuclear reactors, depend on chromium for oxidation and corrosion resistance. Evaporated, amorphous, thin-film resistors based on Ni-Cr with A1 additions have the advantageous property of a near-2ero temperature coefficient of resistance (58). 

Many types of ligand have been designed or are known to favour the formation of di- and tri-nuclear nickel complexes. This field of coordination chemistry has recently been extensively reviewed.2590,2591 For a specific discussion of the magnetic properties of dinuclear nickel(II) complexes, see Section 50.5.10. 

The most recent views on the Periodic Classification suggest an entirely different method of removing the anomaly, namely, that the atomic weight is not the correct property to use in arranging the elements rather should one be chosen which increases by a constant amount in passing from one element to the next. Physical theory indicates the positive nuclear charge of the atom to be one such property, whilst experimentally it is found that the X-ray spectra afford such a property, and eliminate the nickel-cobalt anomaly.1... 

Mossbauer effect. A nuclear phenomenon discovered in 1957. Defined as the elastic (recoil-free) emission of a 7-particle by the nucleus of a radioactive isotope and the subsequent absorption (resonance scattering) of the particle by another atomic nucleus. Occurs in crystalline solids and glasses but not in liquids. Examples of y-emitting isotopes are iron-57, nickel-61, zinc-67, tin-119. The Mossbauer effect is used to obtain information on isomer shift, on vibrational properties and atomic motions in a sohd, and on location of atoms within a complex molecule.
