Near-eutectic tin-bismuth alloy is a strong contender as the solder of choice for low-temperature electronic assembly applications. This paper will describe the recent significant developments by the ...

The microwave-assisted polyol process was applied and modified to synthesize phase-pure micro- or nanocrystalline samples of all intermetallic phases in the bismuth–palladium system. Reaction ...

We present here a new concept of controlling the Lewis acidity at bismuth by tuning the ligand bite angle, utilizing the inferences obtained from electronic structure studies. Decreasing the ligand ...
