TANTALUM MEA CULPA Público Deposited

Conteúdo do artigo
  • Following up on the recent exchange about the metal
    tantalum, Alan Luedeking writes: "My apologies -- Mr.
    Schmidt is right of course; moreover, I was wrong about
    the conductivity of tantalum altogether: While it is quite
    conductive, it is less conductive than both silver and gold,
    having a thermal conductivity of 57.5 J/m-sec-deg and
    an electrical conductivity of 80.321 1/mohm-cm.

    Silver and gold both have significantly higher values. For
    more information on all aspects of elements I recommend
    the following interesting website:
    http://www.scescape.net/~woods/elements/.
    I apologize to all for my misinformation!"
