Untersuchung der Phasenbeziehungen in quaternären Systemen Bi2O3/Bi2Ch/Bi2Ch (Ch = S,Se, Te)

Investigations of the Phase Relations in the Quaternary Systems Bi₂O₃/Bi₂Ch /Bi₂Ch (Ch = S, Se, Te) The stability ranges in the pseudobinary systems Bi₂O₂S/Bi₂O₂Se, Bi₂O₂S/Bi₂O₂Te and Bi₂O₂Se/Bi₂O₂Te have been studied by solid state and chemical transport reactions. A complete mixed crystal Bi₂O₂(Te_xSe_1–x), 0 ≤ x ≤ 1 exists between the ternary compounds Bi₂O₂Te and Bi₂O₂Se. The thermal behaviour of the mixed crystal and the coexistence ranges have been determined by x‐ray and thermal analysis.     

Phenolic compounds,essential oil composition,and antioxidant activity of Angelica purpurascens (Avé-Lall.) Gill

In this study, methanol extracts (MEs) and essential oil (EO) of Angelica purpurascens (Avé-Lall.) Gill obtained from different parts (root, stem, leaf, and seed) were evaluated in terms of antioxidant activity, total phenolics, compositions of phenolic compound, and essential oil with the methods of 2,2-azino-bis(3ethylbenzo-thiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS•⁺), 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazil (DPPH•) radical scavenging activities, and ferric reducing/antioxidant power (FRAP), the Folin–Ciocalteu, liquid chromatography−tandem mass spectrometry (LC−MS/MS), and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC−MS), respectively. The root extract of A. purpurascens exhibited the highest ABTS•⁺, DPPH•, and FRAP activities (IC₅₀: 0.05 ± 0.0001 mg/mL, IC₅₀: 0.06 ± 0.002 mg/mL, 821.04 ± 15.96 µM TEAC (Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity), respectively). Moreover, EO of A. purpurascens root displayed DPPH• scavenging activity (IC₅₀: 2.95 ± 0.084 mg/mL). The root extract had the highest total phenolic content (438.75 ± 16.39 GAE (gallic acid equivalent), µg/mL)). Twenty compounds were identified by LC−MS/MS. The most abundant phenolics were ferulic acid (244.39 ± 15.64 μg/g extract), benzoic acid (138.18 ± 8.84 μg/g extract), oleuropein (78.04 ± 4.99 μg/g extract), and rutin (31.21 ± 2.00 μg/g extract) in seed, stem, root, and leaf extracts, respectively. According to the GC−MS analysis, the major components were determined as α-bisabolol (22.93%), cubebol (14.39%), α-pinene (11.63%), and α-limonene (9.41%) among 29 compounds. Consequently, the MEs and EO of A. purpurascens can be used as a natural antioxidant source.     

Application of magneto-optical method for real-time visualization of eddy currents with high spatial resolution for nondestructive testing

In this paper we describe a new, laser supported, eddy current microscope for the real-time visualization of eddy current distributions. In the experimental set-up, the induction of eddy currents is conventionally performed by an alternating current excitation coil above the object surface. The magnetic field induced by the eddy currents is detected by the use of the Faraday effect. For that purpose, a laser beam is passed through a suitable thin crystal integrated in the excitation coil. The polarization direction of the laser beam is rotated in this thin crystal depending on the local magnetic field. The area distribution of the rotation angle is transformed into a grey value picture using an optical set-up, which comprises a conventional microscope, a lighting technique, an analyzator, and a CCD sensor. By choosing a suitable optic, a real-time measurement of the magnetic field with a high spatial resolution can be carried out. In this paper, the basic physics and the design of the new microscope are described. The initial results of experimental investigations concerning the resolution power of magneto-optic eddy current sensors are presented and compared with conventional eddy current sensors.
