Sol-gel synthesis and characterization of adsorbent and photoluminescent nanocomposites of starch and silica

Using sol-gel method, mesoporous and photoluminescent silica nanocomposites of soluble starch have been synthesized and characterized. Different ratios of H₂O, TEOS and EtOH were used at fixed template (soluble starch) and catalyst (NH₄OH) concentrations to obtain materials of different performances in terms of heavy metal binding from a solution which has been monitored using Cd(II) as representative divalent heavy metal ion. Optimum material was obtained when H₂O, TEOS and EtOH were used in 14:1:2 ratio. This sample was not only an efficient metal ion adsorbent but also had an intense luminescence in ultra-violet region and potentially may be used in silicon-based UV-emitting devices. Metal binding by the material was further enhanced after calcination (at 800 °C in air) while its luminescence had a multipeak profile in UV-visible region. In a batch adsorption study, calcined hybrid composite (0.25 g/L) could remove 98.5% Cd(II) from 100 mg/L Cd(II) solution in 2 h. The chemical, structural and textural characteristics of the synthesized materials have been investigated using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-rays Diffraction (XRD), Thermal Analysis (TGA/DTA), Photoluminescence (PL), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller Analysis (BET) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM).

Preparation and characterization of PbSe nanopowder and quasi-ceramics

Their compaction and sintering into quasi-ceramic state were performed. The samples were investigated by means of scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and FTIR spectroscopy. The results obtained are discussed.     

Biocrystallization in Bacterial and Fungal Cells and Spores

A series of X-ray diffraction experiments were performed for the first time to study stress-induced biocrystallization (structural response to stress) in the bacteria E. coli, the spore-forming bacteria Bacillus cereus, and in cells and spores of the mycelial fungus Umbelopsis ramanniana. High-intensity areas with spacings of 90 and 44 Å are indicative of a periodically ordered arrangement (most likely nanocrystalline) of the bacterial nucleoid. For the starved bacteria Bacillus cereus, a peak at a spacing of 45 Å is also assigned to nanocrystalline complexes of DNA with the Dps protein. The spores of the fungus Umbelopsis ramanniana VKM F-582, as well as the spores of Bacillus cereus, form ordered arrays of DNA molecules with DNA-condensing acid-soluble proteins SASPs. Starved dehydrated mycelial cells of the fungus Umbelopsis ramanniana form ordered structures with spacings from 27 to 55 Å. A series of peaks reflect the formation of a number of ordered protein arrays, apparently with DNA, with continuously varying characteristic interplanar spacings.     

Simulation and Experiment in X-ray Topography and Diffractometry

X-ray double crystal topography and high resolution diffractometry reveal very small deformations of the crystal lattice. However, this information can be directly obtained from the topographs or diffractometer curves only if certain conditions are fulfilled. Generally a deformation model has to be used, that is compared to the measurements by simulation calculations based on the dynamical diffraction theory. Trial and error allow to adapt the parameters of the model. An example illustrates that with a few parameters an automatic fit is possible.     

Melting and short-range order in liquids and glasses

A theory is proposed to explain two-dimensional melting based on the gauge-invariant Lagrangian with spontaneous breaking (Higgs mechanism) or the SU(2) gauge field to U(1) symmetry. The first-order phase transition in two-dimensional melting may be strongly related to the asymptotic freedom-like interaction of the SU(2) gauge field in the case when the distance between each excited disk is shorter than a critical length, 2/ boxv;mboxv, near the melting temperature.

The single-crystal X-ray structure determinations of the title compounds revealtrans structures. Ring (A) C_10–15 and ring (B) C_1–6, are practically planar in both structures with dihedral angels of 61.3(3) and 63.6(2)°, respectively.¹H nmr, u.v. and i.r. spectra are also reported.     

Chemistry and Electrocrystallization of Organic Metals and Superconductors

Abstract

Considerable variation in the conditions of electrochemical crystal growth of TMTSF₂X (i.e., constant current versus constant potential, ambient versus inert atmosphere, etc.) and in the purity of the constituents (donor, electrolyte, solvent) does not significantly affect the unusual low-temperature properties of this class of materials. Our results suggest that the electrocrystallization procedure may be self-purifying by selecting for conducting crystal phases with constituents having specific oxidation potentials and solubility properties. However, doping solutions with structurally and chemically similar constituents (i.e., TMTTF, and IO^? ₄ in CIO^? ₄) leads to their incorporation in the crystal structure where they have a profound effect. Several mole percent of these dopants suppress superconductivity in the PF^? ₆ and CIO^? ₄ salts, and increase and broaden the metal-insulator phase transition.     

Hydrothermal Synthesis and Morphology of Thomsonite and Edingtonite

The hydrothermal treatment of different glasses of the composition 2 Na₂O–8 CaO–10 Al₂O₃– 20 SiO₂ and 2 BaO–2 Al₂O₃–6 SiO₂ at one kilobar pressure in a temperature-range between 80 °C and 230 °C lead to the formation of the zeolite-minerals thomsonite (orthorhombic symmetry space-group Pbmn, a = 13.05 Å, b = 13.09 Å and c = 13.22 Å), and edingtonite (orthorhombic symmetry, space-group: P2,2,2, a = 9.55 Å, b = 9.67 Å and c = 6.52 Å). Under the chosen hydrothermal conditions both mineral phases are formed in the whole temperature interval.

The molecular structure of 1 C₂H₅OH shows hydrogen bonding of both indolyl NH protons to the oxygen of an ethanol molecule. Crystal data for 1 C₂H₅OH: Orthorhombic, Pca2₁, a = 23.9782(17) Å, b = 8.4437(7) Å, c = 11.3029(9) Å, V = 2288.4(3) ų, R ₁ = 0.0597.

Potassium and ammonium dihydrogen phosphates activated with thallium: Growth and luminescence and scintillation properties

The conditions for the growth of potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP) and ammonium dihydrogen phosphate (ADP) crystals with concentrations of the thallium activator in the initial solution of 0.01, 0.1, and 1.0 wt % are investigated. It is shown that the character of incorporation and distribution of thallium in the KDP and ADP lattices is limited, apparently, by the difference in the ionic radii of K⁺, NH ₄ ⁺ , and Tl⁺ cations and the charge state of prismatic {100} and pyramidal {101} growth planes. Doping of KDP and ADP with thallium (to 0.1 and 1.0 wt %, respectively) does not deteriorate the structural quality of these crystals. The dependence of the lattice parameters a and c on the thallium impurity concentration is investigated. The absorption bands of thallium in the KDP:Tl⁺ and ADP:Tl⁺ crystals peak at 218 and 215 nm, respectively, while the photoluminescence band peaks at 280 nm for both types of crystals. The relative light yield upon excitation of scintillations by α particles (Pu²³⁹) and β particles (Bi²⁰⁷) is measured.     

Normal vibrations and conformations of glycine and its oligomers

Vapour growth and epitaxy of minerals and synthetic crystals

Surface microtopographs of the following crystals, both natural and synthetic, grown from pure vapour phase (PV), by chemical vapour transport (CVT), from high temperature solution (HTS) and hydrothermal solution (HS) are compared according to the criteria of (1) whether spirals are circular or polygonal and (2) how wide is the step separation of the spiral; SiC (PV, CVT, both synthetic), hematite (CVT, HTS, natural and synthetic), corundum (CVT, HTS, synthetic), mica minerals (PV, CVT, HS, natural and synthetic) and beryl (CVT, HTS, HS, natural and synthetic). Clear differences in morphology and step separation were found between crystals grown from vapour phase and solutions, between PV and CVT, as well as between natural and synthetic crystals. The differences are analysed in conjunction with the recent developments of computer simulations on spiral morphology. The results show interaction between solid and fluid plays very important role in determining the spiral morphology. Oriented intergrowth between different crystals well known among minerals, such as epitaxy, topotaxy, co-axial intergrowth, exsolution etc. are briefly summarized. It is also briefly explained how these relations are used in understand the growth or cooling histories of natural minerals.     

Point defects and dichroism in langasite and langatate crystals

Dichroism is observed in langasite and langatate crystals, and spectral dependences of the degrees of dichroism are plotted.

STGR Model and Relation between Growth Rate and Polytypism

Effect of crystal growth rate on polytypism has been explained using STGR model. It has been suggested that during the process of growth, polytypes are formed from a suitable combination of basic units in accordance with the rate of growth. At a slower rate the most probable polytype is predicted to be different from the one at faster rate.
