Synthesis of nano-polycrystalline diamond from glassy carbon at pressures up to 25 GPa

ABSTRACT

Nano-polycrystalline diamond (NPD) with various grain sizes has been synthesized from glassy carbon at pressures 15–25?GPa and temperatures 1700–2300°C using multianvil apparatus. The minimum temperature for the synthesis of pure NPD, below which a small amount of compressed graphite was formed, significantly increased with pressure from ～1700°C at 15?GPa to ～1900°C at 25?GPa. The NPD having grain sizes less than ～50?nm was synthesized at temperatures below ～2000°C at 15?GPa and ～2300°C at 25?GPa, above which significant grain growth was observed. The grain size of NPD decreases with increasing pressure and decreasing temperature, and the pure NPD with grain sizes less than 10?nm is obtained in a limited temperature range around 1800–2000°C, depending on pressure. The pure NPD from glassy carbon is highly transparent and exhibits a granular nano-texture, whose grain size is tunable by selecting adequate pressure and temperature conditions.

A new apparatus for the extraction of organic compounds from aqueous solutions

A new apparatus for the extraction of organic compounds from sea water is described. With this apparatus it is possible to extract 54 standard compounds with high recovery percentages from 9 1 of sea water with 3 ml ofn-hexane. The analysis time (about 1 h) is appreciably lower than those of the extraction methods based on RP-18 and Carbopack-B adsorption (about 15 h). Furthermore, it is possible to analyze samples without filtration. An application of this method to the analysis of Tirreno sea water is reported.

Variations of the elastic constants of InSb near the covalent-metallic transition

Abstract

The pulse-echo-overlap method was used to measure the longitudinal and transverse wave velocities in single-crystal (100) and (111) samples of InSb up to 3 GPa at room temperature. The peculiar variations of the elastic constants were observed near the covalent-metallic transition.     

Synthesis and Characterization of New Alumina and Titania-Containing Hybrid Network Ceramer Materials from Sol-Gel Processing

Transparent hybrid materials have been prepared by incorporating either an alumina or titania alkoxide sol with triethoxysilane end-capped polytetramethylene oxide (PTMO) oligomer. In order to avoid undesirable precipitation after the addition of water, a β-dicarbonyl ligand, ethyl acetoacetate, was used. Triethoxysilane endcapped polytetramethylene oxide with a molecular weight of 2000 (g/mol) was chosen to react with either the alumina or titania sol to demonstrate the features of the reaction scheme. The extent of reaction leading to network formation has been qualitatively followed by infrared spectroscopy. A series of solid films were prepared by varying the molar ratio of either aluminum tri(sec-butoxide) or titanium tetraisopropoxide to ethyl acetoacetate, and the weight fraction of alumina or titania to that of PTMO. The refractive index as well as the general structure-property behavior of these hybrid materials were studied.     

Recent progress in measurements of oscillatory forces and liquid properties under confinement

The present review paper focuses on direct measurements of oscillatory forces. Beside the surface forces apparatus (SFA), atomic force microscopy (AFM) has emerged as the most commonly used technique to measure surface forces. Recent instrumental advances of both methods are highlighted in the review. Different systems, showing oscillatory forces are classified. Principle distinction is made between 1-component liquids (water, organic liquids and liquid crystals), pseudo 1-component liquids (ionic liquids and microemulsions) and 2-component liquids (dispersions containing polyelectrolytes, micelles or nanoparticles). In the last few years, the oscillatory force studies address particle characterisation, synergistic effects in multicomponent systems, the introduction of ‘switchable’ forces, and resolving liquid properties under confinement. Last but not least, the ability of AFM and SFA to measure oscillatory forces is discussed.
