The crystal structures of the high-temperature forms of light lanthanide pyrosilicates (disilicates), i.e., (La-to-Sm)(2)Si2O7, have been studied with powder X-ray diffraction on the quenched samples. These compounds have monoclinic structures with the space group P2(1)/n rather than orthorhombic structures. In the research of the last two decades, the smallness of the monoclinic angles (90.1 degrees-91 degrees) has possibly obscured the revelation of the true structural nature of these compounds. New XRD patterns are suggested for the studied lanthanide pyrosilicates exhibiting the monoclinic characteristics of the unit cells.

ACTIVITY COMPOSITION RELATIONS IN NIAL2O4-MNAL2O4 SOLID-SOLUTIONS AND STABILITIES OF NIAL2O4 AND MNAL2O4 AT 1300-DEGREES-C AND 1400-DEGREES-C
TIMUCIN, M; MUAN, A (Wiley, 1992-06-01)
Activities of NiO were measured in the oxide and spinel solutions of the system MnO-NiO-Al2O3 at 1300-degrees and 1400-degrees-C with the aim of deriving information on the thermodynamic properties of the spinel phases. Synthetic samples in selected phase assemblages of the system were equilibrated with metallic nickel and a gas phase of known oxygen partial pressures at a total pressure of 1 atm. The data on NiO activities and directions of conjugation lines between coexisting oxide and spinel phases were ...
Cobalt borate phosphate, Co-3[BPO7], synthesis and characterization
Yılmaz, Ayşen; Bu, XH; Kizilyalli, M; Kniep, R; Stucky, GD (Elsevier BV, 2001-02-01)
Single crystals of Co-3[BPO7],I were obtained by boron flux method and characterized by single-crystal diffraction data. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group Cm with 9.774(2), b = 12.688(2), c = 4.9057(8) Angstrom, beta = 119.749(2)degrees; V= 528.20(15) Angstrom (3); Z = 4. The structure consists of Co in trigonal bipyramids, square pyramids, and distorted octahedra. Polyhedral Co centers, triangular B centers, and tetrahedral P centers are joined together to form a three-dimensional net...
ZnO Nanorods as Antireflective Coatings for Industrial-Scale Single-Crystalline Silicon Solar Cells
AURANG, Pantea; Demircioglu, Olgu; ES, FIRAT; Turan, Raşit; Ünalan, Hüsnü Emrah (Wiley, 2013-04-01)
In this work, both planar and textured, industrial scale (156mmx156mm) single-crystalline silicon (Si) solar cells have been fabricated using zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorods as antireflection coating (ARC). ZnO nanorods were grown in a few minutes via hydrothermal method within a commercially available microwave oven. Relative improvement in excess of 65% in the reflectivity was observed for both planar and textured Si surfaces. Through ZnO nanorods, effective lifetime (eff) measurements were presented to investi...

Jackson, Marie D; Moon, Juhyuk; Gotti, Emanuele; Taylor, Rae; Chae, Sejung R; Kunz, Martin; Emwas, Abdul-Hamid; Akgül, Çağla; Guttmann, Peter; Levitz, Pierre; Wenk, Hans-Rudolf; Monteiro, Paulo J (Wiley, 2013-08-01)
The material characteristics and elastic properties of aluminum-substituted 11 angstrom tobermorite in the relict lime clasts of 2000-year-old Roman seawater harbor concrete are described with TG-DSC and Si-29 MAS NMR studies, along with nanoscale tomography, X-ray microdiffraction, and high-pressure X-ray diffraction synchrotron radiation applications. The crystals have aluminum substitution for silicon in tetrahedral bridging and branching sites and 11.49(3)angstrom interlayer (002) spacing. With prolonge...
Degradation of Poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) Obtained by Radiation in Aqueous Solution
Varguen, Elif; Usanmaz, Ali (Informa UK Limited, 2010-01-01)
The degradation of poly(hydroxyethyl methacrylate), PHEMA obtained by -radiation induced polymerization of HEMA in aqueous solution, was studied. The polymer was a gel type and insoluble in common organic solvents. The DSC thermogram of the polymer gave a Tg value at 88.2 degrees C and an endothermic peak showed further polymerization or crosslinking at 110-160 degrees C. The degradation observed in TGA was a depolymerization type. However, the FT-IR of TGA fragments showed no monomer, which was degraded fu...
