What else can I help you with?
Can plutonium be in an alloy?
Yes. We normally don't "put a little plutonium" in something else to make an alloy, but sometimes we alloy a bit of something else in with it. For instance, a bit of gallium us used to make a plutonium alloy. The gallium helps stabilize plutonium and reduce phase transitions.
What metal is plutonium alloyed with and how much to stabilize it in its non-brittle ductile phase?
Plutonium for use in nuclear weapons is alloyed with gallium. Delta-phase plutonium is alloyed at 3-3.5 molar percent, or by weight, 0.8 - 1%. Alloying plutonium with gallium increases its thermodynamic stability throughout a range of temperatures, and decreases plutonium's susceptibility to corrosion.
How can you tell what is aucuga?
Aucuga is an alloy gold-copper-gallium.
What is gallium used for?
Element Gallium is used to make up compounds such as Gallium nitride and Gallium asenide. These compounds is used to make solid-state applying in light- emitting diodes(LEDs) primarily.More over some compounds of Gallium is also applied in medicine such as chemical thernometer despite of mercury thernometer.Gallium is alloyed with Plutonium (about 3% Gallium) to force the hard brittle alpha phase of Plutonium normal at room temperature into the soft ductile delta phase in Nuclear Weapons to make it workable and more easily machinable.Gallium is very effective for finding neutrinos when used inside a telescope. An example of this use is the SAGE experiment at the Baksan Neutrino Observatory in Russia or the GALLEX neutrino detector operated in the early 1990s in an Italian mountain tunnel.Gallium is used in several eutectic low temperature melting lead-free solder alloys.dopant in semiconductor manufacturing.alloy agent with plutonium to make it easier to process for making bombs.half of the semiconductor alloy gallium-arsenide for high speed transistors.
What is gallium made of?
The alloy Galinstan is made from gallium (Ga), indium (In) and tin (Sn). The mix is 68.5% gallium, 21.5% indium, 10% tin. Galinstan, which is trademarked by Geratherm Medical AG., is used to replace mercury in a number of applications. Making this alloy is similar to manufacturing most any other alloy: mix the individual ingredients and then melt the mixture to produce the finished product. A link can be found below.
What happens when plutonium is combined with oxygen?
When plutonium is combined with oxygen, it forms plutonium oxide. Plutonium oxide is a highly radioactive compound that can release alpha particles. This reaction releases heat and can be a potential fire hazard.
Is plutonium an alloy?
No, plutonium is not mined. Plutonium can be found accompanying uranium minerals but only in insignificant traces. Plutonium is obtained as an industrial product in nuclear reactors.
What is the compound for Gallium nitrate?
Gallium does not occur naturally in its pure form put as a trace salt. Gallium is in the same period as Aluminium. Gallium arsenide is a super conductor. GaAs Gallium nitride is a semiconductor. GaN Galinstan is an alloy with indium and tin. Gallium is used medically to trace iron uptake. It also seeps into the crystal structures of other metals and thus change their properties when forming an alloy.
How many kilograms of Plutonium did the bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki each contain?
The "Fat Man" implosion bomb detonated over Nagasaki (the second bomb dropped on Japan by the US) contained 6.2 kilograms of Plutonium alloy (Pu-239, Pu-240 and Gallium). The "Little Boy", first bomb dropped on Japan by the USA was not a Plutonium implosion bomb. It was a gun-type bomb and contained 64 kilograms of Uranium-235.
Which element is not present in milk?
potassium, gallium, mercury, francium, plutonium.
Is a eraser gallium?
No, an eraser is made of rubber. Gallium is a metal.
How might a gallium chip compare with a germanium chip?
Gallium is a metal, not a semiconductor. You cannot build a transistor or even a diode with a piece of metal, forget an IC chip containing several transistors.To create a gallium based semiconductor, it must be ALLOYED with one or more of the following elements: nitrogen, phosphorus, arsenic, or antimony. The simplest semiconductor alloys are: gallium nitride, gallium phosphide, gallium arsenide, and gallium antimonide. Examples of other semiconductor alloys are: gallium nitride phosphide, gallium phosphide arsenide, etc. (these are used in some types of LEDs).The most common gallium alloy semiconductor for making transistors and IC chips is gallium arsenide. Compared to both silicon and germanium, transistors made of gallium arsenide are significantly faster, and additional speed can be obtained by using nonsaturating logic circuits like ECL.
