Sentence examples for metallic bonding from inspiring English sources

The area fraction of region with intermetallics, region with mechanical metallic bonding and unbonded/weakly bonded region was observed to be 0.148, 0.596 and 0.256 respectively.

We attribute this stronger adhesion to increased covalent interfacial bonding for MoSi2/Fe compared to metal carbide/Fe interfaces (where metallic bonding plays a larger role), as evidenced by the rearrangement of electron density and the character of the local density of states upon formation of the interface.

There is a transition from metallic bonding amongst the metals on the left of the table through to covalent or Van der Waals (electrostatic) bonding amongst the nonmetals on the right of the table.

A different type of metallic bonding is found in transition metals, which are metals whose atoms are characterized by unfilled d-shells.

DFT calculations and electronic structure analyses reveal that alloying dramatically reduces shear resistances due to enhanced d-d second-neighbor metallic bonding while retaining strong metal-N bonds which change from being primarily ionic (TiAlN) to more covalent (TiAlNbN) in nature.

H is predicted to weaken metallic bonding and to form metal-H interactions.

Unlike in metals with incomplete d-shells, metallic bonds in copper are lacking a covalent character and are relatively weak.

For the MmNi4.2Al0.4M0.4 (M = Cr, Mn, Fe, Co) alloys, both the unit cell volume and the −ΔH value increased with increasing metallic bond radius of the foreign metal.

For example, in materials held together by the metallic bond, electrons float loosely between the metal ions.

Concomitantly, along the same composition gradient, a metalloid-concentration-induced increase in first order metal - metal bond distances of 1% is observed, which infers itinerant (metallic) bond weakening.

This is called the metallic bond and, as the name implies, it is what holds metals together.
