  • Development and application of continuous ²²²rn detecting device for accumulated damage of uranium rock

    Development and application of continuous ²²²rn detecting device for accumulated damage of uranium rock

    ²²²Rn (Rn) is a chemical element and usually in the form of ²²²Rn gas. ²²²Rn gas is the only radioactive inert gas to which humans come into contact. Under normal conditions, it is colorless, tasteless, and soluble in water. With a…

  • Nonempirical models for assessing thermal properties of nonlinear triatomic molecules of the form XY₂

    Nonempirical models for assessing thermal properties of nonlinear triatomic molecules of the form XY₂

    The computational models are validated by exploring the thermal properties of nonlinear polyatomic molecules such as AlCl2, BF2, and SO2, selected for their significance in various industrial and chemical processes.

    AlCl2 (aluminum chloride)…
