Phase relations in NaxCrxTi8−xO16 at 1350 °C and crystal structure of hollandite-like Na2Cr2Ti6O16

Phase relations of rutile, freudenbergite, and hollandite structures were examined in the pseudobinary system NaCrO₂-TiO₂ (i.e., Na_xCr_xTi_8−xO₁₆) at 1350 °C. The hollandite structure was obtained in the composition range 1.7?x?2.0. The symmetry of the samples at room temperature was tetragonal for x=1.7 and 1.75, and monoclinic for x=1.8 and above. Single crystals of monoclinic hollandite Na₂Cr₂Ti₆O₁₆ were grown and the structure refinement has been carried out using an X-ray diffraction technique. The space group was I2/m and cell parameters were a=10.2385(11), b=2.9559(9), c=9.9097(11)Å, and β=90.545(9)° with Z=1. The Na ion distribution in the tunnel was markedly deformed from that in the tetragonal form. It was suggested that Cr/Ti ratios were different between the two framework metal sites.     

Specific oxidation of C-14 oxygenated 4(20),11-taxadienes by microbial transformation

Three C-14 oxygenated taxanes, 2α,5α,10β,14β-tetraacetoxytaxa-4(20),11-diene (1), 2α,5α,10β-triacetoxy-14β-(2-methylbutyryloxy)taxa-4(20),11-diene (2), and yunanaxane (3), major products of callus cultures of Taxus spp., were regio- and stereoselectively hydroxylated at the 7β position by a fungus, Absidia coerulea IFO 4011. Intriguingly, when 1 was co-administered with β-cyclodextrin and incubated with the fungus cell cultures, three other compounds 5α,9α,10β,13α-tetraacetoxytaxa-4(20),11-dien-14β-ol (7), 5α,9α,10β,13α-tetraacetoxytaxa-4(20),11-dien-1β-ol (8) and 5α,9α,10β,13α-tetraacetoxy-11(15→1) abeotaxa-4(20),11-dien-15-ol (9) were obtained.     

Acetyltrimethylsilane mediated synthesis of dihydrophenanthrenes

An easy and efficient synthesis of phenanthrene derivatives through base catalyzed ring transformation of 4-sec-amino-2-oxo-5,6-dihydro-2H-benzo[h]chromene-3-carbonitriles with acetyltrimethylsilane is described in good yields. The advantage of this reaction is the direct transformation of 2-oxobenzo[h]chromene into phenanthrene via C-C insertion from acetyltrimethylsilane.     

Pressure-induced metastable phase transition in orthoenstatite (MgSiO3) at room temperature: a Raman spectroscopic study

Phase behavior of a synthetic orthoenstatite in a diamond-anvil cell has been studied up to ∼22 GPa by using Raman spectroscopy at room temperature. Under quasi-hydrostatic conditions, orthoenstatite undergoes a reversible phase transformation at an apparent transition pressure of ∼10 GPa for compression and ∼9.5 GPa for decompression. The 3d transition-metal cations, e.g., Fe²⁺ and Ni²⁺, show only a minor effect on the transition pressure within 10 wt% of addition. All the Raman frequencies in both orthoenstatite and its high-pressure phase increase monotonically with increasing pressure. The amount of forward or backward transition is fixed at a given pressure and forms a hysteresis loop in the transition %-pressure plan. The type for the present metastable phase transition is inferred to be of first order and the high-pressure polymorph may be the intermediate between orthoenstatite and the high-pressure clinoenstatite (i.e., the high-P C2/c phase). A mechanism based on Mnyukh's edgewise model of interface motion has been suggested to account for the observed phenomena.     

Effects of hydrothermal post-treatment on microstructures and morphology of titanate nanoribbons

Titanate nanoribbons were prepared via a hydrothermal treatment of rutile-type TiO₂ powders in a 10 M NaOH solution at 200 °C for 48 h. The as-prepared titanate nanoribbons were then hydrothermally post-treated at 150 °C for 12-36 h. The titanate nanoribbons before and after hydrothermal post-treatment were characterized with FESEM, XRD, TEM, UV-VIS and nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms. The results showed that the hydrothermal post-treatment not only promoted the phase transformation from titanate to anatase TiO₂, but also was beneficial to the removal of Na⁺ ions remained in the titanate nanoribbons. After hydrothermal post-treatment, the TiO₂ samples retained the one-dimensional structure feature of the titanate nanoribbons and showed an obvious increase in the specific surface area and the pore volume.     

Numerical solution of minimax problems of optimal control,part 1

This paper contains general transformation techniques useful to convert minimax problems of optimal control into the Mayer-Bolza problem of the calculus of variations [Problem (P)]. We consider two types of minimax problems: minimax problems of Type (Q), in which the minimax function depends on the state and does not depend on the control; and minimax problems of Type (R), in which the minimax function depends on both the state and the control. Both Problem (Q) and Problem (R) can be reduced to Problem (P).For Problem (Q), we exploit the analogy with a bounded-state problem in combination with a transformation of the Jacobson type. This requires the proper augmentation of the state vectorx(t), the control vectoru(t), and the parameter vector , as well as the proper augmentation of the constraining relations. As a result of the transformation, the unknown minimax value of the performance index becomes a component of the parameter vector being optimized.For Problem (R), we exploit the analogy with a bounded-control problem in combination with a transformation of the Valentine type. This requires the proper augmentation of the control vectoru(t) and the parameter vector , as well as the proper augmentation of the constraining relations. As a result of the transformation, the unknown minimax value of the performance index becomes a component of the parameter vector being optimized.In a subsequent paper (Part 2), the transformation techniques presented here are employed in conjunction with the sequential gradient-restoration algorithm for solving optimal control problems on a digital computer; both the single-subarc approach and the multiple-subarc approach are discussed.This research was supported by the National Science Foundation, Grant No. ENG-79-18667, and by Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Contract No. F33615-80-C3000.

A comparative study on the single-scan and multiple-scan techniques in differential scanning calorimetry: Application to the crystallization of the semiconducting Ge0.13Sb0.23Se0.64 alloy

A method has been developed for analysing the evolution with time of the volume fraction transformed and for calculating the kinetic parameters at non-isothermal reactions in materials involving formation and growth of nuclei. By considering the assumptions of extended volume and random nucleation, a general expression of the fraction transformed as a function of time has been obtained in isothermal crystallization processes. Considering the mutual interference of regions growing from separate nuclei the Johnson–Mehl–Avrami equation has been deduced as a particular case. The application of the transformation rate equation to the non-isothermal processes has been carried out under the restriction of a nucleation which takes place early in the transformation and the nucleation frequency is zero thereafter. Under these conditions, the kinetic parameters have been deduced by using the techniques of data analysis of single-scan and multiple-scan. The theoretical method developed has been applied to the glass-crystal transformation kinetics of the semiconducting Ge_0.13Sb_0.23Se_0.64 alloy. The kinetic parameters obtained according to both techniques differ by only about 2.5%, which confirms the reliability and accuracy of the single-scan technique when calculating the above-mentioned parameters in non-isothermal transformation processes. The phases at which the above-mentioned semiconducting glass crystallizes after the thermal process have been identified by X-ray diffraction. The diffractogram of the transformed material shows that microcrystallites of Sb₂Se₃ and GeSe are associated with the crystallization process, remaining a residual amorphous matrix.
