As the Perovskite-type Lanthanum Cobalt Oxide of LaCoO3 is nontoxic and thermally stable even at high temperature, this material is expected as a candidate for thermoelectric applications. The thermoelectric performance of a material is often evaluated by the dimensionless figure-of-merit, ZT (=S[Formula: see text]T/[Formula: see text]), or S[Formula: see text] in the ZT equation. S[Formula: see text] shows the electrical characteristic as a Power factor (PF). It has been reported Seebeck coefficient of LaCoO3 is higher than other oxide materials at room temperature even though electrical conductivity and ZT are lower values. In this study, calcium-doped lanthanum cobaltite La[Formula: see text]Ca[Formula: see text]CoO3 (x = 0.00, 0.05, 0.10 and 0.15) and iron-doped lanthanum cobaltite LaCo[Formula: see text]Fe[Formula: see text]O3 (y = 0.05, 0.10 and 0.15) have been prepared by solid-phase process. The X-ray diffraction patterns of the calcium-doped samples and iron-doped samples show cubic perovskite structure. Electric conductivities were improved by Ca or Fe substitution and showed a tendency to increase with increasing the temperature. The sample substituted with Fe 5 mol.% showed the maximum PF, 0.510 ([Formula: see text] W/K2m) at 548 K, and the sample substituted with Ca 15 mol.% showed the maximum PF, 0.152 ([Formula: see text] W/K2m) at 498 K.

Lead strontium titanate ( Sr 1-x Pb x) TiO 3 (0.20 ≤ x ≤ 0.45,step = 0.05) ceramics were prepared by conventional mixed oxide method. The X-ray diffraction patterns indicate that the prepared samples have perovskite-type structure. With the increase of Pb content, there is a tendency from the cubic to tetragonal structure. The scanning electron microscopy micrographs reveal that the addition of Pb can affect microstructure. The dependent temperature dielectric permittivity and dielectric loss were investigated in the frequency range from 100 Hz to 1 MHz. The maximum peak of the dielectric permittivity versus temperature curve was broadened and a frequency dispersion of the dielectric permittivity was observed for the (Sr0.8Pb0.2)TiO3 ceramics. The results obtained at the frequency of 10 kHz reveal the Curie temperature linearly increased with the lead content. The fitted curves of temperature versus inverse dielectric permittivity at 10 kHz for ( Sr 1-x Pb x) TiO3 ceramics are consistent with Curie–Weiss law. The Pyroelectric properties were also investigated. The high pyroelectric coefficients and figure of merits indicate that the SPT ceramics are potential materials for pyroelectric sensors.

For the first time, double gadolinium tellurites of the composition GdMIITeO4.5 (MII — Sr, Ba) were synthesized by the solid-phase method. The solid-phase synthesis of samples was carried out from decrepitated gadolinium (III) and tellurium (IV) oxides, strontium, and barium carbonates according to the standard ceramic technology. The synthesis was carried out in the temperature range of 800-1100 °C. The samples obtained were confirmed by X-ray phase analysis. X-ray phase analysis was carried out on an Empyrean instrument in the XRDML Pananalitical format. The intensity of the diffraction maxima was estimated on a 100-point scale. X-ray diffraction patterns indexing of the powder of gadolinium tellurites — alkaline earth metals studied were carried out by the homology method. The reliability and correctness of the results of indexing the X-ray diffraction patterns are confirmed by the good agreement between the experimental and calculated values of the interplanar distances (d) and the agreement between the values of the X-ray and pycnometric densities. It was found that compounds GdSrTeO4.5 and GdBaTeO4.5 crystallize in the monoclinic system and have the unit cell parameters, namely GdSrTeO4.5 — a = 12.7610, b = 10.4289, c = 8.6235 Å, V° = 1141.83 Å3, β = 95.77°, Z = 5, ρrent. = 3.22, ρpikn. = (3.10±0.09) g/cm3; GdBaTeO4.5 — a = 15.7272, b = 15.8351, c = 7.1393 Å, V° = 1769.72 Å3, β = 95.53°, Z = 8, ρrent = 3.71, ρpick = (3.61±0.10) g/cm3. Using the Landiya method, the standard heat capacities of the compounds were estimated from the calculated values of the standard entropies, and the temperature dependences of the heat capacities of the gadolinium tellurites synthesized were determined in the temperature range of 298–850 K.

We have successfully intercalated 2-aminoethanesulfonate, a well-known biomolecule taurine, into calcium-containing layered double hydroxides via optimized solid phase intercalation. According to X-ray diffraction patterns and infrared spectroscopy, it was revealed that the intercalated taurine molecules were each directly coordinated to other calcium cation and arranged in a zig-zag pattern. Scanning electron microscopy showed that the particle size and morphology of the LDHs were not affected by the solid phase intercalation, and the surface of intercalates was covered by organic moieties. From ninhydrin amine detection tests, we confirmed that most of the taurine molecules were well stabilized between the calcium-containing LDH layers.

High Polarity

The polyethylene/montmorillonite (PE/MMT) nanocomposites were prepared by melt blending the organic MMT with the ternary-monomer graft copolymers of polyethylene (GPE) which were prepared by solid phase grafting maleic anhydride, methyl methacrylate and butyl acrylate onto PE. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was used to characterize the structure of GPE. X-ray diffraction patterns and transmission electron microscopy were used to characterize the morphology of GPE/MMT nanocomposites. Results showed that GPE was an outstanding polymeric material to prepare an exfoliated polymer/layered silicates nanocomposites due to the high polarity of GPE and high graft degree. Most layered silicates still maintain the exfoliated and well dispersed state even at 40 phr OMMT content. The exfoliation of layered silicates was attributed to the well intercalation and easy wetting of the grafted oligomers.

Perovskite Type Structure

AbstractPolycrystalline samples of SrFe_2/3W_1/3O_3 (SFWO) ceramic were obtained by solid-phase reactions with subsequent sintering using conventional ceramic technology. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that at room temperature, the SFWO ceramic is single-phase and has a perovskite-type structure with tetragonal symmetry and parameters a = 3.941(9) Å, c = 3.955(6) Å, and c/a = 1.0035. In studying the magnetic properties and the Mössbauer effect in SFWO ceramics, it is found that the material is a ferrimagnet, and the iron ions are only in the valence state of Fe^3+. It is suggested that in the temperature range of T = 150–210°C, a smeared phase transition from a cubic (paraelectric) phase to a tetragonal (ferroelectric) phase takes place in SFWO with decreasing temperature.

The purpose of present work was to obtain bactericidal materials using heulandite-clinoptilolite from the Rkoni plot of the Tedzami deposit, Eastern Georgia, to study their properties and use them as a filler for the production of bactericidal paper. Silver-, copper-, and zinc-containing microporous materials have been prepared using ion-exchange reactions between preliminary acid-treated zeolite microcrystals and a salt of a corresponding bioactive metal in the solid phase followed by washing with distilled water. Synthesized in such way adsorbent-ion-exchangers are characterized by X-ray energy dispersion spectra, powder X-ray diffraction patterns, and Fourier transform infra-red spectra. Obtained materials remain the zeolite crystal structure and contain over 130 mg/g of silver, 70 mg/g of copper, and 55 mg/g of zinc. Prepared materials show bacteriostatic activity towards gram-negative bacterium Escherichia coli, gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis, fungal pathogenic yeast Candida albicans, and a fungus Aspergilus niger. It was found that the mixtures of various forms exhibit a synergistic effect, and the silver form with additives of copper and zinc forms is most active against staphylococcus, and against other microorganisms, mixtures of copper and zinc forms are most effective.

Electron Density Map

Coherent X-ray diffraction imaging (CXDI) is a technique for visualizing the structures of non-crystalline particles with size in the submicrometer to micrometer range in material sciences and biology. In the structural analysis of CXDI, the electron density map of a specimen particle projected along the direction of the incident X-rays can be reconstructed only from the diffraction pattern by using phase-retrieval (PR) algorithms. However, in practice, the reconstruction, relying entirely on the computational procedure, sometimes fails because diffraction patterns miss the data in small-angle regions owing to the beam stop and saturation of the detector pixels, and are modified by Poisson noise in X-ray detection. To date, X-ray free-electron lasers have allowed us to collect a large number of diffraction patterns within a short period of time. Therefore, the reconstruction of correct electron density maps is the bottleneck for efficiently conducting structure analyses of non-crystalline particles. To automatically address the correctness of retrieved electron density maps, a data analysis protocol to extract the most probable electron density maps from a set of maps retrieved from 1000 different random seeds for a single diffraction pattern is proposed. Through monitoring the variations of the phase values during PR calculations, the tendency for the PR calculations to succeed when the retrieved phase sets converged on a certain value was found. On the other hand, if the phase set was in persistent variation, the PR calculation tended to fail to yield the correct electron density map. To quantify this tendency, here a figure of merit for the variation of the phase values during PR calculation is introduced. In addition, a PR protocol to evaluate the similarity between a map of the highest figure of merit and other independently reconstructed maps is proposed. The protocol is implemented and practically examined in the structure analyses for diffraction patterns from aggregates of gold colloidal particles. Furthermore, the feasibility of the protocol in the structure analysis of organelles from biological cells is examined.
