Chromium (IV) oxide (CrO 2) is a magnetic compound. Its ideal shape anisotropy, which imparts high coercivity and remnant magnetization, made it a compound superior to γ-Fe 2 O 3. Chromium (IV) oxide is used to manufacture magnetic tape used in high-performance audio tape and standard audio cassettes.
In heat transfer, the thermal conductivity of a substance, k, is an intensive property that indicates its ability to conduct heat. For most materials, the amount of heat conducted varies (usually non-linearly) with temperature. [1] Thermal conductivity is often measured with laser flash analysis. Alternative measurements are also established.
Chromium nitride is a chemical compound of chromium and nitrogen with the formula CrN. It is very hard, and is extremely resistant to corrosion.It is an interstitial compound, with nitrogen atoms occupying the octahedral holes in the chromium lattice: [2] as such, it is not strictly a chromium(III) compound nor does it contain nitride ions (N 3−).
Low thermal conductivity, good thermoelectric material at elevated temperature for thermoelectric generators. IV-VI: 2: Tin(II) sulfide: SnS: 1.3/1.0 [23] direct/indirect: Tin sulfide (SnS) is a semiconductor with direct optical band gap of 1.3 eV and absorption coefficient above 10 4 cm −1 for photon energies above 1.3 eV. It is a p-type ...
Chrome plating (less commonly chromium plating) is a technique of electroplating a thin layer of chromium onto a metal object. A chrome plated part is called chrome, or is said to have been chromed. The chromium layer can be decorative, provide corrosion resistance, facilitate cleaning, and increase surface hardness.
Its thermal conductivity (2,200 W/m•K) is five times greater than the most conductive metal (Ag at 429); 300 times higher than the least conductive metal (Pu at 6.74); and nearly 4,000 times that of water (0.58) and 100,000 times that of air (0.0224). This high thermal conductivity is used by jewelers and gemologists to separate diamonds from ...
Chromium (III) oxide is a precursor to the magnetic pigment chromium dioxide, by the following reaction: [7] Cr. 2O. 3 + 3 CrO. 3 → 5 CrO. 2 + O. 2. Along with many other oxides, it is used as a compound when polishing (also called stropping) the edges of knives, razors, surfaces of optical devices etc. on a piece of leather, balsa, cloth or ...
The SI unit of electrical resistivity is the ohm - metre (Ω⋅m). [1][2][3] For example, if a 1 m3 solid cube of material has sheet contacts on two opposite faces, and the resistance between these contacts is 1 Ω, then the resistivity of the material is 1 Ω⋅m. Electrical conductivity (or specific conductance) is the reciprocal of ...
