W-doped VO2 (B) nanoneedles were successfully synthesized by solgel combing with hydrothermal treatment, in which the polyethylene glycol (PEG) was used as both surfactant and reducing. The metastable VO2 (B) was completely transformed to thermochromic VO2 (M) after annealing at high purity N2 atmosphere. The DSC results exhibit a strong crystallographic transition, and the phase transition temperature of VO2 (M) can be reduced to about 38 °C by W-doping. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) were used to characterize the morphology and crystalline structure of the samples. The variable-temperature infrared transmittance spectra of VO2 (M) demonstrate their potential applications in energy saving field.

TiO2/SiO2 nanoparticles with 3, 5, and 10 molar percent of silica, were synthesized by hydrothermal method and characterized by SEM, TEM, N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms, X-ray diffraction, and Raman and UV-Vis spectroscopy. While pristine TiO2 thermally treated at 500°C presents a surface area of 36 m2 g-1 (±10 m2 g-1), TiO2/SiO2 containing 3, 5, and 10 molar percent of silica present surface areas of 93, 124, and 150 m2 g-1 (±10 m2 g-1), respectively. SiO2 is found to form very small amorphous domains well dispersed in the TiO2 matrix. X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy data show that anatase-to-rutile phase transition temperature is delayed by the presence of SiO2, enabling single-anatase phase photoanodes for DSSCs. According to the I×V measurements, photoanodes with 3% of SiO2 result in improved efficiency, which is mainly related to increased surface area and dye loading. In addition, the results suggest a gain in photocurrent related to the passivation of defects by SiO2.

The parent compound SmFeAsO shows structural phase transition from tetragonal to orthorhombic at the temperature TD = 144 K. In the compound SmFe1-xCoxAsO,  with increasing x the structural transition temperature TD and  SDW TN decreases and reaches 0 K at the critical concentration xc. The X-ray diffraction technique has been used here to study the structural phase transition temperature. It is observed that the (400) peak of the parent compound SmFeAsO splits into two peaks (400) and (040), when the temperature is lower than the structural transition temperature TD. The structural phase transition of Co doped compounds SmFe1-xCoxAsO has also been studied for x = 0, 0.01, 0.025 and 0.075. The phase transition temperature TD for SmFe0.99Co0.01AsO, SmFe0.975Co0.025AsO and SmFe0.925Co0.075AsO are 134 K, 118 K and 4 K, respectively. The phase diagram of TD versus lattice spacing reveals that the structural transition temperature decreases with shrinking lattice constant along c-axis similar to the decrease of the structural phase transition temperature with increasing Co concentration. The phase diagrams of   SmFe1-xCoxAsO and Sm(O1-xFx)FeAs show a similar nature.© 2012 JSR Publications. ISSN: 2070-0237 (Print); 2070-0245 (Online).

VO2 is a unique material that undergoes a reversible phase transformation around 68[Formula: see text]C. Currently, applications of VO2 on smart windows are limited by its high transition temperature. In order to reduce the temperature, VO2 thin film was fabricated on quartz glass substrate by high power impulse magnetron sputtering with a modulated pulsed power. The phase transition temperature has been reduced to as low as 32[Formula: see text]C. In addition, the VO2 film possesses a typical metal–insulator transition. X-ray diffraction and selected area electron diffraction patterns reveal that an obvious lattice distortion has been formed in the as-deposited polycrystalline VO2 thin film. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy proves that oxygen vacancies have been formed in the as-deposited thin film, which will induce a lattice distortion in the VO2 thin film.

TEM imaging of frozen-hydrated lipid vesicles has been done by several groups Thermotrophic and lyotrophic polymorphism has been reported. By using image processing, computer simulation and tilt experiments, we tried to learn about the influence of freezing-stress and defocus artifacts on the lipid polymorphism and fine structure of the bilayer profile. We show integrated membrane proteins do modulate the bilayer structure and the morphology of the vesicles.Phase transitions of DMPC vesicles were visualized after freezing under equilibrium conditions at different temperatures in a controlled-environment vitrification system. Below the main phase transition temperature of 24°C (Fig. 1), vesicles show a facetted appearance due to the quasicrystalline areas. A gradual increase in temperature leads to melting processes with different morphology in the bilayer profile. Far above the phase transition temperature the bilayer profile is still present. In the band-pass-filtered images (Fig. 2) no significant change in the width of the bilayer profile is visible.
