Mechanical alloying of a thermoelectric alloy: Pb0.65Sn0.35Te

We report in this paper a study of the mechanical alloying (MA) process for the Pb_0.65Sn_0.35Te alloy. MA has been carried out in a high-energy planetary ball mill. The mechanism of formation has been studied from systematic analyses of mechanically alloyed powders using X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry and scanning electron microscopy. As it was already observed for the MA of PbTe, this synthesis is associated with an exothermic reaction between the elemental powders. The required time to reach an homogeneous phase Pb_0..65Sn_0.35Te is 31 h.     

Synthesis, Structure and Secondorder Nonlinear Optical Activities of a New Tungsten（0） Compound with Pyridine-2-thiolato Ligand, [Et4N][W（pyS）（CO）4] （pys = C5H4NS^-）

The reaction of W(CO)6 with pyOSNa (C5-H4NOSNa) and Et4NCl in MeCN affords a new tungsten(0) complex [Et4N][W(pyS)(CO)4] 1 (Mr.= 536.29).The crystal and molecular structures have been determined by X-ray single-crystal diffraction.Complex 1 crystallizes in the orthorhombic system,space group P212121 with a = 8.2429(5),b = 9.1045(4),c =26.8851(14) (A),β = 90.00°,V= 2017.66(18) (A)3,Z = 4,Dc.= 1.765 g/cm3,μ = 58.51 cm-1,F(000) =1048,the final R = 0.0204 and wR = 0.0400 for 4432 observed reflections with I ＞ 2σ(I).X-ray structure analysis revealed that the molecule is acentric and has large first-order hyperpolarizability (7.2 × 10-30 esu),so it could be an IR second-order nonlinear optical candidate material.     

铜铝合金中γ_2相沉淀的分析电镜研究

Cu-12.7(wt)%Al合金从900℃高温淬至365℃～500℃温度范围等温不同时间(30秒至15分钟)的试样中形成了大量树枝状的γ_2相沉淀粒子。应用配有X线能谱仪(XEDS)和电子能量损失谱仪(EELS)的分析电子显微镜(JEOL JEM-2000FX型)对上还试样研究,结果表明:这些γ_2相粒子具有富铝的“核心”,长大到粒子线度大于约800nm后以不稳定方式生长成“花朵”状。生长过程中伴随着溶质元素Al由基体向γ_2相内的富集。而且在γ_2相粒子内部呈现出Spinodal分解组织的形貌特征,表明γ_2粒子内形成了化学成分调幅。EELS分析表明试样含氧。     

Conductive polyethylene-carbon black composites by elongational-flow injection molding Part 3. Study of the structure and morphology

The morphology and structure of high molecular weight linear polyethylene (M _w 450000) filled with carbon black and processed using molds that introduce an elongational flow component during injection molding has been examined using electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction techniques. The study of fracture surfaces reveals the display of shish-kebabs oriented along the injection direction with segregated longitudinal channels of carbon black particles. Molecular and lamellar changes in orientation are, furthermore, studied across the thickness of the moldings. It is shown that addition of carbon black particles to injection-molded polyethylene induces significant changes in lamellar orientation. Thus, while lamellar overgrowth proceeds perpendicular to the fiber axes within carbon free channels, lamellae grow randomly within carbon-enriched regions where flow is less pronounced.     

Pr0.15TbxDy0.85-xFe2 内禀磁致伸缩的测量

对稀土金属间Laves相赝二元化合物进行X射线衍射分析。其(440)峰出现劈裂，由(440)峰劈裂的程度可以确定内禀磁致伸缩的大小。本文采用X射线衍射的方法对Pr0．15TbxDy0．85-xFe2系列粉末样品的(440)峰步进扫描，并对扫描结果进行拟合，对拟合得到的两组双线峰之间的间距计算得到内禀磁致伸缩λ111,拟合曲线与实验点符合很好，结果表明Pr0．15TbxDy0．85-xFe2的内禀磁致伸缩随Tb含量的增加而增加，并且用0．15的Pr替代Dy后，在x=0．3时，Pr0．15TbxDy0．85-xFe2的内禀磁致伸缩λ111比Tb0.27Dy0.73Fe2的内禀磁致伸缩λ1ll大。     

Xyloketal H from the mangrove endophytic fungus Xylaria sp. 2508

(3R*,3aR*,9aR*)-3,9a-Dimethyl-2,3,3a,9a-tetrahydro-4H-furo[2,3-b]chromene-5,7-diol (xyloketal H), a representative of a new family of xyloketals, was isolated from the marine-derived mangrove fungus Xylaria sp. 2508. Its structure was elucidated by spectroscopic data and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of 1-[4-(Pyrimidin-2-yl)piperazin-1-ylmethyl]-1H-benzotriazole

1 INTRODUCTION Based on the reported 1.65 ? high resolution crystal structure of spinach KARI (ketol-acid reduc- toisomerase) complex[1], we obtained 279 molecules with low binding energy toward KARI from MDL/ ACD 3D database searching, using program DOCK 4.0[2]. These potential structures provide further information for the design of new KARI inhibitors, one of novel derivatives of which as the title com- pound has been synthesized. Its crystal structure will provide us more inf…     

XPS,AFM, ATR and TPD evidence for terraced,dihydrogen terminated, 1×1 (100) silicon

Heating (100) silicon at high temperature (say, higher than 850 °C) in H₂, cooling to 670–700 °C in the same ambient, and quenching to room temperature in N₂ results in environmentally robust, terraced 1 × 1 (100) SiH₂. Evidence for this conclusion is based on angle‐resolved x‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, infrared absorption spectroscopy in the attenuated total reflection mode, thermal programmed desorption, and reflection high‐energy electron diffraction.
