EPMA and Microstructural Characterization of Yttrium Doped BaTiO3 Ceramics

 Yttrium-doped BaTiO₃ ceramics have been studied as a potential material for positive temperature coefficient resistors (PTCR). The mechanism of Y incorporation into BaTiO₃ plays an important role for displaying good electrical properties. Determination of the amount of yttrium in the BaTiO₃ as well as microstructure characterization of the samples were performed using SEM, EDS and WDS analysis. An optimized trace element WDS quantitative analysis was applied to determine elemental concentrations for Ba, Ti and Y in the samples as accurately as possible. BaTiO₃ and Y₂O₃ were used as standards. Analysis was undertaken using a JEOL JXA 840A electron probe microanalyzer. WDS X-ray intensity measurements were performed under 20 kV, 50 nA beam current and 0.2% preset standard counting deviation (σ_c) using a PET crystal. Measured k-ratios were quantified by ZAF matrix correction. Average results of WDS quantitative analysis showed 20.17 ± 0.08 at % Ti, 19.95 ± 0.09 at % Ba, 0.22 ± 0.03 at % Y, and 59.66 at % O. The results suggest incorporation of yttrium in the BaTiO₃ preferentially at the Ba-sites, however partial incorporation of Y at Ti-sites could not be excluded.     

The stir-frying can reduce hepatorenal toxicity of Fructus Tribuli by inactivating β-glucosidase and inhibiting the conversion of furostanol saponins to spirostanol saponins

The purpose of this study was to illustrate the mechanism of “enzyme inactivation and toxicity reduction” of Fructus Tribuli (FT) after being heating processed. Ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled with triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) was used to quantitatively analyze the contents of four steroidal saponins in crude Fructus Tribuli (CFT) and stir-fried Fructus Tribuli (SFT) under different storage times at room temperature. The enzyme activity of β-D-glucosidase in CFT and SFT were determined and calculated by ultraviolet–visible spectrometry (UV-VIS spectrometry). In addition, the enzyme hydrolysates of FOT and tribuluside A were qualitatively analyzed by ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadruple-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UHPLC-Q-TOF/MS). The hepatorenal toxicity of spirostanol saponins in FT were further confirmed by in vivo and in vitro experiment. This study confirmed that “enzyme inactivation and toxicity reduction” was one of the reasons why the stir-frying can reduce hepatorenal toxicity of FT, and further enriched the exploration on the mechanism of processing toxicity reduction.     

Phase and structural transitions in vicinal water on protein surfaces by means of the DSC

This paper presents investigations of phase and structural transitions occurring in water adsorbed on the surface of bovine serum albumin (BSA) and on the so-called intelligentrs or smart silica gel surface covered with a chemically bonded BSA phase. Cyclic changes of heat flow (HF) were observed in the samples studied during cooling and heating of the measuring cell of the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) apparatus. These cyclic changes reflect structural transitions occurring in the water adsorbed on the surface at subambient and elevated temperatures. This is connected with cyclic changes (decay and reproduction) of ice-like structures existing in the adsorbed water layers. On the basis of quantitative investigations it appears that, depending on the direction of the cooling or heating process of the samples studied, the number of ice-like water structures in the surface film increases or decreases. It has been stated that the observed fluctuations occur spontaneously and suddenly in the whole volume of adsorbed water in different and not regular temperature ranges, especially at the paradoxical effect temperatures.Support from the Research Council (Dr. R. K. Gilpin and Dr. M. Jaroniec) of Kent State University (Ohio, USA) is acknowledged. The author thanks Dr. V. Tittlebach for providing the samples of pure BSA and silica gel with chemically, bonded BSA phase.

Photo-thermal Shot Noise in End Mirrors of LIGO due to Correlation of Power Fluctuation

The effect of input power fluctuation on photo-thermal shot noise in the end mirrors of a laser interferometer gravitational-wave observatory （LIGO） is analysed according to the statistical optics, which is a supplement of Braginsky＇s research. The laser light folding in LIGO increases a correlation of input power fluctuation in the photo-thermal shot noise. This part of noise has spectral density proportional to -2 in low frequency bands, and -4 in high frequency bands. It is not a white noise and may affect the processing about data of interferometers. To obtain an advanced LIGO, photo-thermal shot noise in end mirrors due to correlation of input power fluctuation is up to Braginsky＇s photo-thermal noise in the frequency range 1-100 Hz.     

CO2 sorption on substituted carbon materials: Computational chemistry studies

Theoretical study of sorption of CO₂ on the 4-ring graphene (“unmodified” or N-, O-, and OH-substituted) structures possessing one completely unsaturated edge zigzag site is reported using the DFT (B3LYP/6-31G(d,p)) method. Lactone and heterocyclic complexes (due to thermodynamic favourability) are taken into account. The analysis of theoretical results shows that the enthalpy of reaction strongly depends on the chemical nature, i.e. the position of the doping of atom(s) is crucial. All substitutions do not change or decrease the enthalpy in comparison with the “unmodified” graphene sheet. The well-known theoretical reactivity indices (ionization potential, electron affinity, global softness, and HOMO-LUMO gaps) are calculated for the studied adsorbents in order to explain the above-mentioned tendencies. Finally, the effect of the presence of heteroatoms on the enthalpy of reaction (ΔH²⁹⁸) for all CO₂-heteroatom-doping adsorbent complexes is shown. Thus, carbon dioxide molecules adsorb on the edge plane surface of N-, O-, OH-containing carbon surfaces similarly or much less favourably in comparison with the “unmodified” adsorbents. This confirms some experimental observations.
