Which element, with a melting point of 3,370 degrees C was discovered in 1783 by Jos and Fausto Elhuyar?
Fausto Elhuyar Fausto Elhuyar Fausto de Elhuyar (11 October 1755 – 6 February 1833) was a Spanish chemist, and the joint discoverer of tungsten with his brother Juan José Elhuyar in 1783. He was in charge, under a King of Spain commission, of organizing the School of Mines in México City and so was responsible of building an architectural jewel known as the "Palacio de Minería". Elhuyar left Mexico after the Mexican War of Independence, when most of the Spanish residents in Mexico were expelled. He was born in Logroño, La Rioja, Spain son of Basque-French parents from Hasparren, France. Between 1773
Melting-point depression which affects the cohesive energy and thermal properties of a nanostructure. Equation 7 gives a general shape corrected formula for the theoretical melting point of a nanoparticle based on its size and shape. formula_7 Where: c=materials constant The shape parameter is 1 for sphere and 3/2 for a very long wire, indicating that melting-point depression is suppressed in nanowires compared to nanoparticles. Past experimental data show that nanoscale tin platelets melt within a narrow range of 10 C of the bulk melting temperature. The melting point depression of these platelets was suppressed compared to spherical tin nanoparticles. Several nanoparticle melting
