Neutron (8CI, 9CI, ACI) (12586-31-1 ) 2 A flux -free method for synthesis of Ce3+-doped YAG phosphor for white LEDs By: Qiang, Yaochun; Yu, Yuxi; Chen, Guolong; Fang, Jiyu A series of CeF3-doped Y3Al5O12 (YAG:CeF3) phosphor, CeO2-doped Y3Al5O12 (YAG:Ce2O3) phosphor and 5 wt% Ba F2 added YAG:Ce2 O3 (YAG:Ce2O3 + BaF2) phosphor were successfully synthesized by a solid-state reaction method . The microstructure, morphol., luminescence spectra, luminescence quantum yield (QY) and thermal quenching of the phosphors were investi gated. The QY of YA G:CeF3 phosphor is 91% but the Q Y of YAG:Ce2O3 phosphor is just 80%. At 150 °C, the lumine scence intensity of YAG:CeF3 phosphor, YAG:Ce2O3 phosphor and Y AG:Ce2O3 + BaF2 phosphor was 85%, 86% and 89% of that measured at 25 °C, resp. The comprehensive performance of the white LED lamp employing YAG:CeF3 phosphor is even better than that of the white L ED lamp employing YAG:Ce2O3 + BaF2 phosphor. The exptl. results show that it is a promising flux -free method to synthesize Ce 3+ -doped Y AG phosphor by employing Ce F3 as the Ce 3+ source.

Currently, the majority of salt- inclusion phases are grown serendipitously and the targeted growth of SICs has met with only moderate success. The authors report an enhanced flux growth method for the targeted growth of S ICs. Specifically, the use of (1) metal halide reagents and (2) reactions with small surface area to volume ratios favor the growth of saltinclusion compounds over pure oxides and thus enable a more targeted synthetic route for their preparation The Cs-X-U-Si-O (X = F, Cl) pentanary phase space was used as a model system to demonstrate the generality of this enhanced flux method approach. Single crystals of four new salt-inclusion uranyl silicates, [ Cs 3F][(UO2)(Si4O10 )] (1), [Cs 2Cs 5F][(UO2)2(Si6O17 )] (2), [Cs 9Cs 6Cl][(UO2)7(Si6 O17 )2(Si4O12 )] (3), and [Cs 2Cs 5F][(UO2)3(Si2O7)2] (4), were grown using this enhanced flux growth method . A detailed discussion of the factors that favor salt-inclusion phases during synthesis and why specif ically uranyl silicates make excellent frameworks for salt-inclusion phases is given.

The synthesis conditions of temperature, atm., iron source and the amount of carbonate flux were examined Fine powder with a mean particle size of about 1 μm and a phase purity of 99% Li2FeSiO4 was obtained from iron and Li2SiO3 using molten (Li0.435Na0.315K 0.25 )2CO3 flux under a CO2-H2 atm at 773 K. The Li2FeSiO4 cathode showed discharge capacity of 162 mAh g-1 at the C/10 rate with good cyclab ility. Through the synthesis method , cathode material with good capacity and cyclability was obtained, utilizing low-cost iron powder at a lower temper ature than that of the solid state reaction.

Flux growth synthesis is an advantageous synthetic method as it allows for the growth of single crystals of both congru ently melting and metastable phases. The determination of synthetic parameters for the flux growth of new crystalline phases is complex as many factors and parameters need to be considered, such as the purity and morphol. of the starting material and heating profile variables including maximum temperature, dwell time, cooling rate, and flux removal temperature In situ monitoring of crystallite growth can lead to elucid ation of reaction intermediates and growth mechanisms.

A.; Mahanubhav, M. D. Stoichiometric and non-stoichiometric powders of CdIn2S4 were synthesized by flux method . XRD studies reveal that CdIn2S4 powders are polycrystalline in nature with spinel cubic structure. Thick films of Cd In2S4 powders were prepared using screen printing technique on glass substrates. The films were characterized by energy dispersive x- ray anal. (EDAX) for quant. elemental anal., SEM for microstr uctural studies and optical absorption studies for determi nation of band gap energies. The optical band gap energy for stoichiometric film is 2.38 e V while for nonstoichiometric films, it increases as the Cd/In ratio increases.

For the monometallic compound, M 2P2S6 (M = Ni, Fe, and Mn) , phase-pure materials were quickly synthe sized and annealed at 650°C for 1 h. Crystals of dimensions of several millimeters were grown for some of the metal thiopho sphates using optimized heating profiles. The homoge neity of the bimetallic thiophosphates MM'P2S6 (M, M' = Ni, Fe, and Mn) was elucidated using energy- dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and Rietveld refinement. The quality of the selected materials was charact erized by transm ission electron microscopy and at. force microscopy measurements. We report two novel bimetallic thiophos phates, MnCoP2S6 and FeCoP2S6. The Ni2P2S6 and MnNiP2S6 flux reactions were monitored in situ using variable- temperature powder X-ray diffraction to understand the formation reaction pathways. The phases were directly formed in a single step at approx. 375°C. The work functions of the semiconducting materials were determined and ranged from 5.28 to 5.72 eV.

The system studied was chosen because of its thermal and chem. properties and because of its utility as red and orange ceramic pigments. The results obtained showed that the Ce1-x PrxO2 solid solution can be achieved using all 3 preparation techniques. The 3 synthesis methods - flux , coprecipitation, and solid-state reaction-vary with regard to both the time and temper ature used in the heat treatm ents, and the characteristics of the powders obtained (purity, morphol., granularity). In the preparation of powders by the flux method , the use of molten salts ensures a notable acceleration of the reaction kinetics. We found that the eutectic Na OH-KOH is particularly effective. The samples obtained exhibited a clearly spherical shape together with a considerable fineness. This nonconventional technique thus enables the synthesis of extremely homogeneous compounds that are especially suitable in industrial applic ation such as pigments used in decorative ceramic materials. The solid solutions obtained are, indeed, able to develop an intense red coloring, especially these with a Pr content of 5 mol%.

The authors introduce melting periodic acid flux as a new reaction medium and provide a safe way for single-crystal growth of new f-element iodate compounds including U O2(IO3)2·H2O (1), UO2(IO3)2(H2O)·HIO3 (2), α-Th(IO3)2(NO3)(OH) (3), β-Th(IO3)2(NO3)(OH) (4), and (H3O)9Nd9(IO3)36 ·3HIO3 (5). The structures of these compounds deviate from those afforded from hydrothermal reactions. Specifically, compounds 1 and 2 exhibit pillared structures consisting of uranyl pentagonal bipyramids and iodate trigonal pyramids. Compounds 3 and 4 represent two new thorium iodate compounds that are constructed from subunits of thorium dimers. Compound 5 exhibits a flower- shaped trivalent lanthanide iodate structure with H IO3 mols. and H3O+ cations filled in the channels. The aliovalent replac ement of f elements in 5 is available from a hydrothermal process , further generating compounds of Th2(IO3)8(H2O) (6) and Ce2(IO3)8(H2O) (7). The distinct absorption features are observed in isotypic compounds 5-7, where 7 shows typical semiconductor behavior with a band gap of 2.43 e V. Remarkably, noncentrosym. 1, 6, and 7 exhibit strong second-harmonic-generation efficiencies of 1.3, 3.2, and 9.2 times, resp., that of the com. material K H2PO4. Addnl., the temperature-dependent emission spectra of 1 and 2 were also collected showing typical emission features of uranyl units and a neg. correlation between the intensities of the emissions with temper ature Clearly, the presented low- temperature melting inorganic acid flux synthesis would provide a facile and effective strategy to produce a large new family of struct urally versatile and multifunctional f-element inorganic compounds Keywords: iodate compound lanthanide actinide preparation periodic flux hydrothermal; crystal structure iodate compound lanthanide actinide; band gap lanthanide iodate compound; SHG activity iodate compound uranyl thorium cerium; fluore scence uranyl iodate compound SciFinderⁿ® Journal Source Inorganic Chemistry Volume: 56 Issue: 21 Pages: 13041-13050 Journal; Article 2017 DOI: 10.1021/acs.inorgchem.7b01855 CODEN: INOCAJ E-ISSN: 1520-510X ISSN-L: 0020-1669 View all Sources in Scifinder n Database Information AN: 2017:1614743 CAN: 167:516115 PubMed ID: 28991439 CAplus and MEDLINE Company/Organization Key Laboratory of Radiation Physics and Technology, Ministry of Education, Institute of Nuclear Science and Technology Sichuan University Chengdu 610064 China Publisher American Chemical Society Language English Concepts Actinide complexes (Role: Properties; Synthetic Preparation) Crystal structure Fluorescence Fluxes Molecular structure Optical band gap Rare earth complexes (Role: Properties; Synthetic Preparation) Second-harmonic generation Page 18 SciFinderⁿ® Substances View All Substances in SciFinder n 1.

In particular, the authors succeeded in synthe sizing a lowtemperature-phase BiNbO4 crystal (α-BiNbO4) at 1073 K as well as high- temperature-phase BiNbO4 crystal (β-BiNbO4). The morphol. of α-BiNbO4 and β-BiNbO4 particles prepared by the flux method is a euhedral crystal. In contrast, the morphol. of particles prepared by solid state reaction differs: α-BiNbO4 is aggregated and β-BiNbO4 is necked. UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectra indicate that the absorption edge is at a longer wavelength for β-BiNbO4 than for α-BiNbO4 with β-BiNbO4 absorbing light of wavele ngths up to nearly 400 nm.

Jr. This paper consists of a consistent codification and generalization of previous formalisms and of extensions that result in new approximation methods . The discussion is restricted to the multigroup n diffusion equations. The develo pment of variational principles that admit discontinuous trial functions which need satisfy neither the final and initial conditions nor the external boundary conditions of the phys. problem is reviewed and generalized. Consistent single-channel and multichannel spatial synthesis and spectral synthesis formalisms are developed. A generalized nodal formalism is developed as an extension of the variational synthesis method .

Addition of the flux is significantly effective to enhance the emission intensity, and the lumine scent peak intensity of Gd2O2SO4:10% Eu 3+ increased double and triples by using Na2SO4 and 0.6Li2SO4-0.4Na2SO4, resp. The applic ation of the 0.6Li2SO40.4Na2SO4 eutectic mixture works more effect ively because the m.p. (600°C) is signifi cantly lower than that of Na2SO4 (887°C).

M. Single crystals of Fe-free olivine have numerous applications in geol. studies as well as in E SR and ir spectro scopy. Previously, clear and stoichiometric single crystals of cm size were grown only by Bridgman or flame- fusion techniques with all the inconve niences of the methods . Growth using fluxes such as PbO-V2O5, MoO3-Li2O, and WO3-Li2O is described. The solubility was increased with fluxes containing MoO3, Li2O, and V2O5, and larger crystals were grown. The cm- size single crystals of forsterite with uniform composition were obtained after slow cooling. The morphol. of these compounds was the same as native olivines. Impurity concent ration was measured by microprobe and optical emission spectro metry. Mo was found only in inclus ions. Some crystals doped with SciFinderⁿ® Page 25 Gd3+ and Fe3+ were also studied by ESR techniques to locate the doping ions in the lattice. Inclusions were completely eliminated by heating crystals in a H atm.

Morphol. changes of Ta 3N 5 particles, depending on the synthetic method , starting materials, and nitridation conditions, were examined in detail. Flux -assisted nitridation was found to be a facile one-step route to a metal nitride with morphol. control of the resulting particles. S EM observation revealed that morphol. defined particles of Ta 3N 5 were obtained using Zn, NaCl, or Na2CO3 as a flux . Flux -assisted nitridation of TaCl5 with Zn or Na Cl produced nearly monodisperse fine particles larger than a few tens of nanome ters. The size of these particles could be controlled by variation of the nitridation temperature Highly crysta llized Ta 3N 5 particles with a rectan gular parallelepiped shape were produced from TaCl5 -NaCl or Ta 2O5-Na2CO3 mixtures by nitrid ation above 1123 K, because of the annealing effect of the flux .

The eutectic mixture of Cs Cl/NaCl with a low m.p. allowed the formation of single- phase Bi 4NbO8Cl at as low as 650°. Thus, synthe sized Bi 4NbO8Cl particles exhibited a well-grown and plate-like shape while maintaining surface area considerably higher than those grown with others fluxes . They showed three times higher O2 evolution rate under visible light than the samples prepared via a solid- state reaction. Time-resolved microwave conduc tivity measurements revealed greater signals (approx. 4.8 times) owing to the free electrons in the conduction band, indicating much improved efficiency of carrier generation and/or its mobility. The loading of RuO2 or Pt cocatalyst on Bi 4NbO8Cl further enhanced the activity for O2 evolution because of efficient capturing of free electrons, facili tating the surface chem. reactions. In combination with a H2-evolving photocatalyst Ru/SrTiO3:Rh along with an Fe 3+ /Fe2+ redox mediator, the RuO2/ Bi 4NbO8Cl is an excellent O2-evolving photocatalyst, exhibiting highly effective water splitting into H2 and O2 via the Z-scheme.

White light illumi nation system containing a light emitting diode, a plasma display or a fluore scent lamp and the phosphors are also described. Methods of making YAG:Ce3+ phosphors are also discussed which include adding an Al F3 fluxing agent to a cerium, yttrium, aluminum and oxygen containing starting powder and sintering the powder in a weak reducing atm. generated by evaporating charcoal. Thus, the resulting phosphors had a luminosity >435 lum/W and a quantum efficiency higher than that of comparative phosphors synthesized using YF3 flux instead of the AlF3 flux .

In mineralogical research minerals are often synthe sized in order to study phase equili brium or to provide material of controlled composition However, several of the anal. methods and characterization techniques frequently used in these studies, such as electron microprobe anal., single-crystal diffraction and spectroscopic methods , require crystals of an appreciable size and occasional homogeneity and purity. When the crystal sizes obtained from normal synthesis techniques are not suffic ient, flux growth methods may be applied. The flux growth method most commonly used is the slow cooling method , where the normal decrease in solubility of mineral components with decreasing temperature in a solvent is utilized to promote crystal growth. Crystals of many silicates and oxides with dimensions from hundreds of microns to several mm can often be obtained. Most crystal growth experiments are performed at atm. conditions, but the flux growth techniques may also be used under reducing conditions as well as in high-pressure experiments Keywords: crystal size mineral synthesis flux growth method Journal Source NATO Science Series, Series C: Mathematical and Physical Sciences Volume: 543 Pages: 189-199 Journal 1999 CODEN: NSCMFG ISSN: 1389-2185 View all Sources in Scifinder n Database Information AN: 2000:264842 CAN: 132:336974 CAplus Company/Organization Department of Mineralogy Swedish Museum of Natural History Stockholm SE-104 05 Sweden Publisher Kluwer Academic Publishers Language English Concepts Crystallinity Fugacity, oxygen (Modifier: effect on crystal size of minerals) Minerals (Role: Synthetic Preparation) Citations 1) Wanklyn, B; Crystal growth from high-temperature solutions, 1975, 217 2) Ito, J; Geophys Res Lett, 1975, 2, 533 3) Elwell, D; Crystal growth from high-temperature solutions, 1975, 185 4) Sunagawa, I; Handbook of Crystal Growth, 1994, 2a, 2 5) Levin, E; Phase Diagrams for Ceramists, 1964, I-II 5) Levin, E; Phase Diagrams for Ceramists, 1968, I-II 6) Carlsson, W; Amer Mineral, 1989, 74, 325 7) Seckendorf, V; Contr Min Petrol, 1993, 113, 197 8) Sen, G; Amer Mineral, 1985, 70, 678 9) Endo, S; Phys Chem Min, 1986, 13, 146 10) Skogby, H; Amer Mineral, 1994, 79, 240 11) Larsson, L; PhD thesis, Uppsala University, 1994 12) Halenius, U; Eur J Mineral, 1996, 8, 1231 13) O'Neill, H; Amer Mineral, 1992, 77, 725 14) Holtstam, D; PhD thesis, Uppsala University, 1996 15) Ozima, M; Amer Mineral, 1983, 68, 1199 SciFinderⁿ® Page 37 16) Turnock, A; Amer Mineral, 1973, 58, 50 17) Wood, J; J Cryst Growth, 1968, 3, 480 18) Tolksdorf, W; Handbook of Crystal Growth, 1994, 2a, 563 22 The flux synthesis method in reactor physics By: Slavnicu, Elena The so-called synthesis method in the numerical anal. of a reactor is a conseq uence of the concept of using a combin ation of lower order solutions of a system to obtain a mapping of the higher order solution of that same system. The flux synthesis method has generally found a wide range of applications for studies of the core, both in the stationary state and in the time evolution of its behavior, and can be successfully used in modular systems for the full n calculation of a reactor.

Neutron (8CI, 9CI, ACI) (12586-31-1 ) Role: Process 23 Flux synthesis of AgNbO 3: Effect of particle surfaces and sizes on photocatalytic activity By: Arney, David; Hardy, Christopher; Greve, Benjamin; Maggard, Paul A. The molten-salt flux synthesis of AgNbO3 particles was performed in a Na2SO4 flux using 1:1, 2:1 and 3:1 flux -to-reactant molar ratios and heating to 900 °C for reaction times of 1-10 h. Rectangular-shaped particles are obtained in high purity and with homoge neous microstructures that range in size from ∼ 100 to 5000 nm and with total surface areas from 0.16 to 0.65 m 2 g -1. The smallest particle-size distributions and highest surface areas were obtained for the largest amounts of flux (3:1 ratio) and the shortest reaction time (1 h). Measured optical band gap sizes of the Ag NbO3 products were in the range of ∼ 2.8 e V. The photocatalytic SciFinderⁿ® Page 38 activities of the AgNbO3 particles for H2 formation were measured in visible light (λ > 420 nm) in an aqueous methanol solution and varied from ∼ 1.7 to 5.9 μmol H2 g -1 h -1. The surface microstr uctures of the particles were evaluated using field- emission SEM, and the highest photocatalytic rates of the AgNbO3 particles were correlated with the formation of high densities of ∼ 20- 50 nm terraced surfaces. By comparison, the solid-state sample showed no well-defined morphol. or microstr ucture. Thus, the results presented herein demonstrate the utility of flux -synthetic methods in targeting new particles sizes and surface microstr uctures for the enhancement and understanding of photocatalytic reactivity over metal-oxide particles.

Synthesis of the yttrium oxysulfide red phosphor by the flux fusion method was presented. Effects of flux compositions and sintering conditions on the shape and size distribution of phosphor were studied. In addition, the optimi zation of firing conditions was also conducted. After firing phosphor with a flux containing (S + Na2CO3 + Li3PO4 + K 2CO3)/(S + Li2CO3 + K 2CO3) at a ratio of 3: 1 at 1150°C for 2.5 h, Y2O2S:Eu3+ phosphor was obtained without any Y2O3 as a second phase. The nearly spherical phosphor powder exhibited a mean particle size of 3 μm and a rather sharp particle size distribution. Y2O2S:Eu3+ red phosphor illumi nated the most red color light with an applied probe c.d. of 0.51 μA/cm 2.

Zinc oxide (ZnO) single crystals have been grown at 450- 900°C for 1- 12 h using hydrous K OH and NaOH melts as fluxes . For a K OH flux , brown ZnO single crystals with diameter 0.5 mm × 7.5 mm were grown at 500 °C for 20 h, and white crystals of diameter 0.5 mm × 7 mm were grown at 800 °C for 20 h, using a small crucible (average 50 mL). When a large crucible (average 400 m L) was used, ZnO single crystals with diameter 0.5 mm × 8 mm were formed at 900°C for 30 h. For K OH + NaOH (1:1) flux , light-brown and long crystals with diameter 1.0 mm × 18 mm could be grown. The grown ZnO single crystals were bound with only both p- and mfaces. The crystal quality was good under conditions of 900°C for 30 h.

Neutronic calculations of operating reactors using the flux synthesis method were investigated to determine the feasibility of this method for routine design calcul ations by using the computer code K ASY, which computes multiplication factors and fluxes along the z-axis, in conjunction with trial functions which compute flux distributions in the x-y plane. Thus, K ASY calculations were run in simplified cylindrical geometry with various combin ations of trial functions and results were compared with results from the reference program DIXY. Results indicate that the approach is satisf actory if the trial functions include space- and energydependent bucklings.

Three synthesis models are proposed which reflect a consistent applic ation of the semidirect method of the calculus of variations and the various suggested improvements. Although the emphasis is on flux synthesis in space-time n-diffusion theory, the concepts and methods can be applied to any diffusion or transport problem. The methods can also be applied to static flux synthesis problems. A brief introd uction to the calculus of variations in areas relevant to the flux - synthesis problem is provided. The n-diffusion theory problem is presented, and the basic continuous variat ional formulation is discussed. Some of the early work with discontinuous models for space synthesis is reviewed. The time and space- time models are discussed. Consideration of external boundary conditions and the inclusion of delayed n are analyzed.

Phosphor utilization depends on powder characte ristics and luminescence properties that are regulated during the synthesis stage. The paper presents some of our new results on the synthesis of Gd2O2S:Tb phosphor by solid-state reaction route from oxide precursors. Efficient luminescent powders utilizable in the manufacture of X-ray intensifying screens for medical diagnosis were prepared from optimized synthesis mixtures containing oxide precur sors, alk. carbonate based flux , alk. phosphate based mineralizing additives and sulfur suppliers.

C.; Joubert, J. C.; Mareschal, J.; Viguie, J. C.; Martin-Binachon, J. C.; Spitz, J. Epitaxial growth of thin single crystal Y-Fe garnet films was carried out by flux and hydrothermal methods using flux -grown GdGa G single crystals as seed plates. Ba O-0.6B2O3 solvent and 1050- 1110° deposition temperatures were used in the flux method . 2M NaOH solvent solutions and different nutrient materials were tested for hydrot hermal synthesis ; the best results were obtained by reacting FeNaO2 and Y(OH)3 at 500° and 2 kbar with a 30° temper ature gradient and a 5 to 20% bafile opening. The deposited films are of quite good quality and uniformity, especially when seeds were cut parallel to (211) and (110) orienta tions; with a thickness of 2 to 3 μm, the films were transparent, with a yellow- green color. Observed under polarized light, some films show very regular band SciFinderⁿ® Page 46 shaped domains.

A series single-phase Sr1-x-yAl2O4:Eu2+ x,Dy3+ y .nB2O3 (0.005 ≤ × ≤ 0.07, 0.01 ≤ y ≤ 0.05, 0.05 ≤ n≤ 0.25) were prepared in the same way and their lumines cences were studied. The optimum content of Eu 2+ is x = 0.02. As an auxiliary activator, Dy 3+ could prolong and enhance consid erably the intensity and afterglow of Sr0.98Al2O4:Eu2+ 0.02 and its optimum content is y = 0.03. Effect of different B2O3 contents on the afterglow properties of Sr0.95Al2O4:Eu2+ 0.02,Dy3+ 0.03 was studied and the optimum content of B2O3 is n = 0.1. Afterglow of the corresponding sample was visible to naked eye for >4000 min. Thermolum inescence and positron annihi lation methods were used to study the effect of B2O3 on its luminescent properties. The depth of traps produced by the co- doped Dy ions with B2O3 is more suitable than that of traps produced without B2O3.

The synthesis of 9Al2O.2B2O3 (9A2B) whiskers using fluxes which do not form glasses with Al was attempted as a method of improving the yield. AL(OH)3 was mixed with H3BO3 and KCl at B/Al ratios 1/2- 3/7 and KCl/(Al + B) ratios 10/10- 40/10. Al2(SO4)3 was mixed with H2BO3 and K 2SO4 at B/Al ratio 2/8 and K 2SO4/(Al + B) ratio 10/10. The heated mixtures and final products were charact erized by x-ray diffraction.

A new ASYNT method is proposed for synthe sizing a 3- dimensional solution from 2- dimensional and 1- dimensional solutions of the adjoint n transport equation. Its correctness and fast run ability are approp riate for evaluation of n irradi ation for the WWR/PWR pressure vessel. The calculation of the adjoint transport equation solution axial dependence in cylind rical geometry is the only approximation used in this method . The ASYNT method could be reduced to the traditional synthesis method by some supplem entary approximations The solution for some type of reactors is obtained by calcul ating the adjoint n transport equation only once for each surveillance site.

The preparation conditions such as gas atmospheres, heating temperatures, and manganese sources were examined Single phase Li2MnSiO4 was obtained at 500° with two kinds of manganese sources (manganese oxalate dihydrate and manganese hydroxide), which was confirmed using high-resolution synchrotron X-ray diffraction (XRD). The Li2MnSiO4 prepared using manganese hydroxide has smaller particle size (100-300 nm) and higher sp. surface areas (19.4 m 2 g -1) than those prepared using manganese oxalate dihydrate (200-600 nm, 12.5 m 2 g -1). Former sample showed higher discharge capacity (156 m Ah g-1), initial efficiency (89%) and capacity retention (55% on 20th cycle) than latter one (92 mAh g-1, 69 and 37% on 20th cycle) .

The role of flux was investigated in detail using different flux to reactant molar ratios (1 : 1, 3 : 1, 6 : 1, 10 : 1, and 14 : 1) and different reaction temperatures (300, 500, and 600 °C) . The obtained products were characterized by X- ray diffraction (XRD), SEM (SEM), diffuse reflec tance UV-Vis spectroscopy, XPS, the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller method (BET), and high resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). Flux -assisted synthesis led to tin niobate particles of platelet morphol. with smooth surfaces. The synthe sized crystal showed a 2D anisotropic growth along the (600) plane as the flux ratio increased. The particles synthe sized with a high reactant to flux ratio (1 : 10 or higher) exhibited slightly improved photoca talytic activity for hydrogen evolution from an aqueous methanol solution under visible radiation (λ > 420 nm). The photo- deposition of platinum and Pb O2 was examined to gain a better understanding of electrons and hole migration pathways in these layered materials. The H R-STEM observation revealed that no preferential deposition of these nanoparticles was observed depending on the surface facets of Sn Nb2O6.

According to previous reports, α-BiTaO4 has been mostly synthe sized via a solid state reaction, which requires heating at 900°C for more than 48 h. In this study, α-BiTaO4 was successfully synthesized in 4 h at 750°C using the flux method . The impact of varying reaction conditions on the products was analyzed by X-ray diffraction and a S EM anal. The crystallites size of α-BiTaO4 was dependent on reaction conditions such as the reaction temperature and solute concent ration The photocatalytic activity of the obtained α-BiTaO4 was evaluated for the degradation of phenol. It was found that flux -synthesized α-BiTaO4 exhibited a higher photocatalytic activity than α-BiTaO4 synthesized using the solid state method .

Nanostructured metal carbides are of particular interest because of their potential as high surface area, low- cost catalysts. By taking advantage of a salt- flux synthesis method , multiple carbide compounds were synthe sized at low temper atures providing a pathway to nanosized materials. To better understand the reaction mechanism, vanadium carbide (V8C7) synthesis was monitored by quenching samples at 100 °C intervals and analyzed by multiple spectroscopic methods . The reaction was determined to occur through the formation of metal halide and acetylide carbide intermediates, which were repeatedly observed by X- ray diffraction and further supported by IR and Raman spectros copies. Control experiments were also employed to further verify this mechanism of formation by using different salt compositions and a solid- state metathesis reaction. The reaction mechanism was also verified by applying these techniques to other metal carbide systems, which produced similar intermediate compounds Keywords: formation mechanism nanostructured metal carbide salt flux synthesis SciFinderⁿ® Page 58 Journal Source Inorganic Chemistry Volume: 54 Issue: 8 Pages: 3889-3895 Journal; Article 2015 DOI: 10.1021/acs.inorgchem.5b00059 CODEN: INOCAJ E-ISSN: 1520-510X ISSN-L: 0020-1669 View all Sources in Scifinder n Database Information AN: 2015:572904 CAN: 162:507427 PubMed ID: 25822374 CAplus and MEDLINE Company/Organization Department of Chemistry University of Wyoming Laramie, Wyoming 82071 United States Publisher American Chemical Society Language English Concepts Carbides (Modifier: nanomaterials; Role: Catalyst Use; Nanomaterial; Physical, Engineering or Chemical Process; Properties; Synthetic Preparation) Carbon nanotubes Catalysts Differential scanning calorimetry Exothermic reaction Fluxes Halides (Role: Formation, Unclassified; Physical, Engineering or Chemical Process; Properties; Reactant) Intermediates (Role: Formation, Unclassified; Physical, Engineering or Chemical Process; Properties; Reactant) IR spectra Metathesis Nanostructured materials Organometallic compounds, acetylides (Modifier: acetylide carbides; Role: Formation, Unclassified; Physical, Engineering or Chemical Process; Properties; Reactant) Phase composition Quenching (cooling) Raman spectra Reaction mechanism Salts (Role: Physical, Engineering or Chemical Process) SciFinderⁿ® Surface area X-ray diffraction Substances View All Substances in SciFinder n 1.

The structures, morphologies, and light absorption properties were investi gated. Owing to the polar crystal structure, an internal elec. field can be formed inside the material, which can facilitate the photoge nerated charge separation during the photocatalytic process . Based on both the wide light absorption spectra and high charge separation efficiency originated from the polarized internal elec. field, Ag 9(SiO4)2NO3 exhibit higher efficiency over Ag 3PO4 during the degradation of organic dyes under visible light irradi ation, which is expected to be a potential material for solar energy harvest and conversion.

F.; Bray, Travis H.; Soderholm, L.; Chupas, Peter J.; Kanatzidis, Mercouri G. Rational exploratory synthesis of new materials requires routes to discover novel phases and systematic methods to tailor their structures and properties. Synthetic reactions in molten fluxes proved to be an excellent route to new inorganic materials because they promote diffusion and can serve as an addnl. reactant, but little is known about the mechanisms of compound formation, crystal precipitation, or behavior of fluxes themselves at conditions relevant to synthesis . The authors examine the properties of a salt flux system that proved extremely fertile for growth of new materials: the potassium polysu lfides spanning K 2S3 and K 2S5, which melt 302-206°. The authors present in situ Raman spectr oscopy of melts between K 2S3 and K 2S5 and find strong coupling between n in K 2Sn and the molten local structure, implying that the Sn2- chains in the crysta lline state are mirrored in the melt. In any reactive flux system, K 2Sn included, a signature of changing species in the melt implies that their evolution during a reaction can be characterized and eventually controlled for selective formation of compounds The authors use in situ x- ray total scattering to obtain the pair distribution function of molten K 2S5 and model the length of Sn2- chains in the melt using reverse Monte Carlo simulations. Combining in situ Raman and total scattering provides a path to underst anding the behavior of reactive media and should be broadly applied for more informed, targeted synthesis of compounds in a wide variety of inorganic fluxes .

The redox cofactor NAD (NAD) plays a central role in metabolism and is a substrate for signaling enzymes including poly- ADPribose-polymerases (PARPs) and sirtuins. N AD concentration falls during aging, which has triggered intense interest in strategies to boost NAD levels. A limitation in underst anding NAD metabolism has been reliance on concent ration measurements. Here, we present isotope-tracer methods for NAD flux quantitation. In cell lines, N AD was made from nicotinamide and consumed largely by PARPs and sirtuins. In vivo, N AD was made from tryptophan selectively in the liver, which then excreted nicotin amide. NAD fluxes varied widely across tissues, with high flux in the small intestine and spleen and low flux in the skeletal muscle. I.v. adminis tration of nicotinamide riboside or mononucleotide delivered intact mols. to multiple tissues, but the same agents given orally were metabolized to nicotinamide in the liver. Thus, flux anal. can reveal tissue- specific NAD metabolism Keywords: breast cancer cell small intestine N AD synthesis breakdown flux ; NAD; NADH; flux quantification; isotope tracers; mass spectrometry; mononucleotide; niacin; nicotinamide; redox cofactor; riboside SciFinderⁿ® Journal Source Cell Metabolism Volume: 27 Issue: 5 Pages: 1067-1080.e5 Journal; Article 2018 DOI: 10.1016/j.cmet.2018.03.018 CODEN: CMEEB5 E-ISSN: 1932-7420 ISSN-L: 1550-4131 View all Sources in Scifinder n Concepts Aging, animal Blood Blood-brain barrier Cell differentiation Cell enlargement Cell proliferation Dietary supplements Drug bioavailability Hepatocyte Homo sapiens Human Isotope indicators Kidney Liver Lung Myotubule Pharmaceutical intravenous injections Protein expression profiles, animal Simulation and Modeling Skeletal muscle Small intestine Spleen MEDLINE® Medical Subject Headings Animals Female HCT116 Cells Hep G2 Cells Humans Intestine, Small (Qualifier: metabolism) Liver (Qualifier: metabolism) Mice Mice, Inbred C57BL Muscle, Skeletal (Qualifier: metabolism) NAD (Qualifier: analysis ; biosynthesis; metabolism) Database Information AN: 2018:813369 CAN: 175:501737 PubMed ID: 29685734 CAplus and MEDLINE Company/Organization Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics Princeton University Princeton, New Jersey 08540 United States Email timothy_mitchison@hms.harvard.edu Publisher Elsevier Inc.

(PEC) properties of CoPi/SrNbO2N/Nb/Ti photoanodes prepared by a particle transfer method . The type of flux and the synthesis conditions were found to affect the morphol. and crystal linity of oxide precursors and subseq uently nitrided SrNbO2N. By a suitable choice of flux synthesis conditions, the PEC performance of the photoanodes could be improved. Oxide precursors treated with a NaI flux were solid solutions of NaNbO3 and Sr4Nb2O9, and had a perovskite-type structure. When the precursors were first pre-calcined, larger secondary SrNbO2N particles with a higher degree of crystal linity were obtained. As a result, a photoc urrent d. of 1.5 mA/cm 2 at 1.23 VRHE was achieved under simulated sunlight (AM 1.5G) in an alk. solution (pH 13).

C.; Le, D.; McEwen, K. A. We report on the growth by flux method of large single crystals of hexagonal Np Pd3. Samples with linear size up to 3 mm were obtained using lead as flux medium. Only polycrystalline samples of NpPd3 have been previously studied and in particular no information is available on the anisotropy of its phys. proper ties. Considering the double hexagonal closely packed structure of Np SciFinderⁿ® Page 72 Pd3, important differences in the phys. properties measured along the c- axis and in the basal plane can be anticipated. Preliminary magnetic susceptibility measurements performed on NpPd3 single crystal are compared to previous measur ements made on polycrystalline samples. The availability of NpPd3 single crystals opens new perspe ctives in the understanding of the magnetic and electronic properties of this system.

Evaluation of the effectiveness of mitigation efforts will require measur ement of both the emission rate and its change over space and time. The relative performance of different emission estimation methods is a critical requirement to support mitigation efforts. Here, we compare results of CO2 emissions estimation methods including an inventory-based method and 2 different top-down atm. measurement approaches implem ented for the Indiana polis, Indiana, USA, urban area in winter. By accounting for differences in spatial and temporal coverage, as well as trace gas species measured, we find agreement among the wintertime whole-city fossil fuel C O2 emission rate estimates to within 7%. This finding represents a major improv ement over previous comparisons of urban-scale emissions, making urban CO2 flux estimates from this study consistent with local and global emission mitigation strategy needs. The complementary application of multiple scientifically driven emissions quantif ication methods enables and establishes this high level of confidence and demons trates the strength of the joint implementation of rigorous inventory and atm. emissions monitoring approaches.

J. Crystalline AlN powder with particle size ∼40 nm was prepared at 700° for 24 h using a Na flux . This process might be a possible method for low-temperature synthesis of AlN fine particles because of the high yield and the hexagonal platelet shapes not obtainable by conventional methods . AlN powder having this unique morphol. could be used not only for Al N ceramics but also for composite materials.

KMTO whiskers could be synthe sized when the mole ratio of Ti, Mg, and K in the mixed raw materials was 7: 1:2. The calcining temperature had a great effect on the phase compos ition and morphol. of the products. Prismatic whiskers of 5- 10 μm in length and 0.3-1 μm in diameter were obtained when the powders were calcined at 850- 900° for 2 h, and the synthesis mechanism was proposed. Moreover, the near-IR reflectivity of the present KMTO whiskers was >95%, which indicated the promising applic ation in the field of heat-insulating materials.

Effects of temperature, mol ratio of B/Mg and flux agent on compos ition and morphol. of magnesium borate whisker were studied in detail. The as-prepared sample was characterized and analyzed by X- Ray Diffraction (XRD), SEM (SEM), particles statistic system and titration method . Results showed that the optimal synthesis temperature, ratio of B and Mg flux agent and Mg were 850°, 1.4 and 3.0, resp. XRD confirmed that the as-prepared sample in optimal conditions was triclinic structure and S EM showed that whiskers were uniform distribution particles without aggregation. Particle statistical system confirmed that diameter of the whiskers between 1 μm and 5 μm accounted for 96.36% and length between 40 μm and 60 μm accounted for 69.25% of the total. The successful scale up experiment played a pos. role in promoting the application of magnesium borate whisker.

We have investigated the formation of various carbon nanostr uctures using extreme plasma fluxes up to four orders of magnitude larger than in conventional plasma-enhanced chem. vapor deposition proces sing. Carbon nanowalls, multi-wall nanotubes, spherical nanoparticles and nanotips are among the structures detected with electron microscopy methods . Precursor injection or surface pretreatment were not required for the synthesis of the nanostructures. Preliminary experiments with varied plasma composition, sample bias and surface temper ature have demonstrated the potential for optimizing the growth of the nanostr uctures in the current exptl. set- up.

M.; Song, H. S.; Tang, C. C.; Zhang, J.; Ding, X. X.; Qi, S. R. Nanowires made of aluminum borate formed of Al18 B4O33 were prepared in high yield by improving the tradit ional chem. flux method for the growth of aluminum borate with the fibrous structure. In this study, aluminum powder was added into the Al2O3 and B2O3 reactants as an additive to control the morphol. of the final products. The chem. method reported here is utilized to decrease the diameters of traditional aluminum borate fiber into nanoscale and to increase their lengths. The optimum exptl. parameters and possible growth mechanism for the compound nanowires were presented.

The ferroelec. layered Bi 5Ti3FeO15 and LaBi 4Ti3FeO15 Aurivillius phases were synthesized in high purity and textured microstr uctures in a molten Na2SO4/K 2SO4 (1:1 molar ratio) flux in much shortened reaction times, 1 h min. compared to conven tional techniques. The particle growth and microst ructure of both phases were invest igated as a function of temperature and reaction duration, and yielded plate-like particles that could be synthesized in sizes from <1 μm to >20 μm. The product crystal linity, purity and microstructures were characterized via powder X-ray diffraction and SEM. The UV-vis diffuse reflectance of the products were measured and analyzed with respect to the resultant particle sizes.

Isolation and structural characterization of ABiP2S7 (A = K, Rb) By: McCarthy, Timothy J.; Kanatzidis, Mercouri G. Molten alkali-metal thiophosphate fluxes provide [ PxSy ] n- anions for synthesis of solid state quaternary metal thiopho sphate compounds at intermediate temperatures (300-400°). This new flux method is general and can be applied to main-group elements and transition metals. For example, reaction with Bi affords the new ABiP2S7 (A = K, Rb) structure type featuring an unusual multid entate bonding mode of a [ P2S7] 4- ligand.

Combined experiments of an isotope dilution method of [1- 13 C]leucine with open circuit calori metry and a nitrogen (N) balance test were applied to determine the effect of dietary crude protein (CP) intake on plasma leucine flux and protein synthesis and degrad ation in 4 sheep. The experiment was conducted in a 3×4 Latin rectangle design of 3 3- wk periods. Dietary CP intake was 5.6, 7.7, and 10.8 g/(kg0.75×d). Metabolizable energy intake was 120% of requir ement for all dietary treatments. [1- 13 C]Leucine was i.v. infused for 8 h and blood and breath samples were collected during the latter 2-h period of infusion. Isotopic enrich ments of plasma [1-13 C]leucine, α-[1-13 C]ketoisocaproic acid, and exhaled 13 CO2 were determined For the N balance test, N digesti bility, N excretion in urine, and protein balance (N×6.25) increased with increasing dietary CP intake. Rates of plasma leucine turnover, protein synthesis , and degradation changed toward reduction with increased dietary C P intake. It is likely that in sheep, high C P intake enhances protein deposition with reduced protein degradation rather than increased protein synthesis .

AlF3 flux was used alone and in combin ation with BaF2 and NaF. Crystallog. data were determined by Rietveld refine ment. The photoluminescence (FL) excitation spectra consisted of strong and weak bands owing to the ground state doublet ( 2F7/2 and 2F5/2 ) of the Ce3+ ions. Asym. emission spectra were observed in the green wavelength region, which resulted from two overla pping subbands that originated from the 2D→2F5/2 , 2F7/2 transitions of the Ce 3+ ions. The addition of flux affected particle morphologies, crystal structures, and the incorporation of Ce 3+ ions into the host lattice, leading to a change in P L properties. The emission intensity of powder synthesized using AlF3 in combination with NaF was higher than that for powder synthe sized using AlF3 alone. A transition from a red- to blue-shift of the dominant emission wavelengths was observed This behavior was explained by consid ering the change in the lattice constant and the incorporation of fluorine ions into the host lattice.

They were structurally charact erized by single-crystal and powder x-ray diffraction to form with three different structures-the early to mid-late rare-earth metals R E=La-Nd, Sm, Gd-Ho, Yb and Y form compounds with empirical formulas R E(GaxSi1-x )2 (0.38≤x≤0.63), which crystallize with the tetragonal α-ThSi2 structure type (space group I 41/amd; Pearson symbol tI12). The compounds of the late rare- earth crystallize with the orthorhombic α-GdSi2 structure type (space group Imma; Pearson symbol o I12), with refined empirical formula R EGaxSi2-x-y (R E=Ho, Er, Tm; 0.33≤x≤0.40, 0.10≤y≤0.18). LuGa0.32(1) Si1.43(1) crystallizes with the orthorhombic YbMn0.17Si1.83 structure type (space group Cmcm; Pearson symbol oC24).

In the computational fluid dynamics anal. to determine the necessary cooling airflow rates in the reactor cavity of a nuclear power plant during operation, the heat generated in the sacrificial bioshield and adjacent components is a signif icant source term. Traditi onally, a three-dimensional (3-D) flux synthesis method is used to calculate the heat generation rate in the bioshield for reactors with a cylindrical reactor cavity because there is minimal azimuthal variation. However, the A P1000 reactor incorporates an octagonal reactor cavity design with 12 ex-core detectors, leading to potent ially significant impacts on the azimuthal heat generation rate distribution. Therefore, it was of interest to benchmark the tradit ional flux synthesis method with full 3-D discrete ordinates methods . Because of an uncertainty in the amount of mesh refinement necessary to have confidence in the results, a sensitivity study on the mesh refinement was performed with a parallel 3- D discrete ordinates code. This allowed a comparison with an industry-standard serial 3- D discrete ordinates code in terms of both execution speed and calculated results. The results suggest that for angular positions where the flux synthesis method incorporates an axial model, there is relatively good agreement with 3D methods (within ± 20%). In areas remote from axial models, there are differ ences of up to a factor of 2 in a nonconse rvative direction. Furthermore, a recently developed parallel 3- D discrete ordinates radiation transport code was shown to produce results generally consistent with the industry-standard 3-D code used (within 2.5%) . Finally, the parallel code completed its calcul ations in 10% of the time required by the serial code for an identically sized problem.

The crystallization of ordered (Zr,Ti)2O4 from the oxides succeeded for the first time, at 800°- 1200°C and 13- 20 kbar, using either ammonium carbonate or copper oxide as flux . The composition of the ordered phase, coexisting with either zirconia or rutile, is pressure-temperature dependent, ranging from XTi = 0.60-0.68. Its reproducibility and reversibility suggest the ordered compound crystallized at/near thermodn. equili brium The presence of flux permits the equilibration of phase assemblages well below 1200°C, a region previously inaccessible for equili brium experiments in the ZrO2-TiO2 system due to sluggish kinetics. Thus we were able to determine the ZrO2-TiO2 phase diagram at 20 kbar at temper atures as low as 800°C. In contrast, room- pressure experiments did not result in the spontaneous nucleation of ordered (Zr,Ti)2O4 from the oxides, and seeds were required to initiate growth. The flux -aided synthesis of ordered (Zr,Ti)2O4 from the oxides, at constant temper ature and in its stability field, has the following advantages over previous crystallization attempts, which consisted of slow cooling of the disordered polymorph through the ordering transition. The ordered compound forms at equili brium, therefore permitting phase equili brium studies and thermodn. interpretation. Large grain sizes facilitate quant. anal. of the compos ition with electron micros copy. Microcracks and ZrO2 exsolu tion, reported from samples cooled through the transi tion, can be avoided. The composition and the ordering state of the ordered compound can be controlled with pressure and temperature Using the flux -based synthesis method , well-crystallized samples can now be obtained for future crystal structure refinements, calorimetric and dielec. measure ments, or investigations into the phase transition.

P.; Arruebo, M.; Felipe, M.; Fleta, F.; Bernal, M. P.; Coronas, J.; Menendez, M.; Santamaria, J. Zeolite NaA membranes have been synthe sized by secondary growth on the external surface of α- alumina tubular supports using a semi-continuous system in which fresh gel was period ically supplied to the synthesis vessel. Compared to traditional batch methods , the procedure developed in this work provides a better control of the synthesis and crystallization conditions and is easier to implement at an industrial scale. The influence of the renewal rate during synthesis on the pervaporation and vapor permeation performance of the membranes was studied, with the best perfor mance corresponding to the case where the gel was renewed every 20 min of synthesis time. The membranes obtained by the semi- continuous method displayed an excellent separation performance in the pervaporation of ethanol/water mixtures (e.g., a separation factor of 3600 at a water permeation flux of 3.8 kg/h m 2).

Hg emissions and deposition can occur to and from soil, and are an important component of the global atm. Hg budget. This work synthesized existing surface/air Hg flux data collected throughout western North American and is part of a series of geog. focusedHg synthesis projects. An existing Hg flux database collected using the dynamic flux chamber (DFC) approach from nearly 1,000 sites was created for western North America. These data were statistically analyzed to identify important variables contro lling Hg fluxes and to allow spatiotemporal scaling. Results indicated most of the soil/air Hg flux variability could be explained by soil Hg SciFinderⁿ® Page 100 concentration variations, solar radiation, and soil moisture. This anal. also identified D FC method approach variations which were detectable among field studies; chamber material and sample flushing flow rate affected calculated emission magnitude. Spatiot emporal soil/air Hg flux scaling showed that largest emissions occurred from irrigated agricu ltural landscapes in Califo rnia. Vegetation had a large affect on surface air Hg fluxes due to reduced solar irradi ation reaching the soil and from direct Hg uptake by foliage. Despite high soil Hg emissions from some forested and other heavily vegetated regions, the net ecosystem flux (soil flux + vegetation uptake) was low. Sparsely vegetated regions displayed larger net ecosystem emissions which were similar in magnitude to atm. Hg deposition (except for the Mediterranean California region where soil emissions were higher) . Net ecosystem flux results highlighted the important role of landscape characte ristics in effecting the balance between Hg sequest ration and atm. (re-)emission.

The solid-state reaction, hydrothermal synthesis and CsCl flux methods were employed preparing Er2Ir 2O7 pyrochlore iridate. A mixture of initial Er2O3 and IrO2 oxides was thermally treated, following the temperature evolution of individual phases by means of x-ray diffraction and energy dispersive x- ray spectroscopy. Reactions by hydrothermal synthesis , using various commonly used mineralizing agents, showed negligible increase in the pyrochlore phase fraction. The solid- state reaction method allowed a prepar ation of Er2Ir 2O7, however the reacted mixture contained a high percentage (60%) of initial unreacted Er2O3. Adding an excess of Ir O2 to the initial content improved the compos ition of the reacted sample (50% of Er2Ir 2O7 for initial Er2O3:IrO2 ratio 0.9:2.1). Nevertheless, a secondary Er-Ir-O phase with slightly larger crystallog. unit cell was also created as an addnl. product. An optimized flux synthesis , consisting of repeated heating and regrinding cycles at 800°C and using Cs Cl as a flux , provided the best conditions for single phase pyrochlore preparation A sample with 94% Er2Ir 2O7 was further improved by repeated reaction with addnl. excess IrO2 oxide. A successful preparation route for (at least) the heavy- rare earth pyrochlore iridates is establ ished.

Effects of flux composition on firing schedule especially the firing time was studied. The brightness of Gd2O2S:Tb phosphor can be enhanced and size distribution also be controlled by various flux composition and content. The optimal fluxes include Na2CO3, K 2CO3, Li3PO4 and Li2CO3 with the mass fraction of 0.35. As the mole ratio of the lithium phosphate and lithium carbonate is 1: 2, relative brightness and particle size distribution are improved remarkably.

K.; Okazaki, H.; Takeya, H.; Takano, Y.; Yakinci, M. E. In this study, we have systemically studied the phys., elec. and magnetic properties of Fe0.99Te 0.63Se 0.37 single crystalline samples prepared by self- flux method . We found that the self- flux method is a suitable synthesis technique for this alloys if setting of exptl. parameters made carefully. The M-H curve affirms that samples are typical type- II superconductor. Strong sign of bulk superconductivity, even after high field measurements, were seen. Calculated J magc values, at zero field, were found to be 7.7 × 10 5 Acm -2 and 2.6 × 10 4 Acm -2 for 5 K and 10 K resp. The upper critical field Hc2 (0) has been determined with the magnetic field parallel to the sample surface and yielding a maximum value of 65 T. At the zero field coherence length, ξ, value was calculated to be 2.24 nm for 10% T offsetc which is significantly larger (approx. 6 fold) than the unit cell, a, and indicating the absence of weak link behavior in the sample. Calculated μ0Hc2 (0)/kBTc rate indicated comparably higher value (3.66 T/K) than the Pauli limit (1.84 T/K) and obtained results were suggested unconventional nature of superconductivity in our samples.

Barium-lithium titanate (Ba2Li2/3 Ti16/3O13 ) was synthesized by using a flux method under some conditions with various chloride salts as the flux , thermal treatment temperatures, solute concentrations, and cooling rates. As a result, fine particles of this material with a rod-like morphol. were obtained for the 1st time. It is suggested that this morphol. with high crystal linity is responsible for the increase in the photocatalytic activity of this material without any co- catalyst for H2 and CO evolution from water and C O2. The observed photocatalytic performance is discussed taking into conside ration the differences in physicochem. properties, obtained as a result of the synthesis using this method under the different conditions.

They, therefore, are ideal cathode material candidates for lithium-ion batteries. Introd ucing hetero materials, excessive sintering temperature and tedious steps during the synthesis of the single-crystal cathode materials, however, limit their large-scale application. In this work, the spray pyrolysis method is adopted to prepare the hybrid oxides Ni O-MnCo2O4-Ni6MnO8. SciFinderⁿ® Page 110 This kind of hybrid oxides is considered to be an ideal precursor for the single-crystal Ni-rich cathode materials owing to its fine particle size and porous structure. Subsequently, high-temperature lithiation synthesizes the submicron single-crystal LiNi0.8Co0.1 Mn0.1O2 (NCM811) cathode material. The synthesis temperature of the submicron single-crystal NCM811 is significantly lowered when LiNO3 is selected as the lithium source and serves as the flux agent taking advantage of its fusibi lity. Consequently, the assynthesized submicron single-crystal NCM811, compared with conven tional polycrystalline NCM811, exhibits long lifetime applica tions, improved thermal stability and micro- crack immunity. The synthetic strategy in this work also demons trates that the crystal crushing process , flux adding, and repeated sintering are not indispe nsable in the synthesis of single-crystal cathode materials.

S.; Hwu, Shiou-Jyh Crystals of Na2CuP2O7 were grown in a low-temperature eutectic flux of 23% NaCl and 77% CuCl (m.p. = 315°). The x-ray structural anal. shows that this Na Cu(II) pyrophosphate crystallizes in a monoclinic lattice with a 14.715 (1), b 5.704(2), c 8.066(1) Å, β 115.14(1)°, and V = 612.9(2) Å3; space group C2/c; Z = 4. The structure was refined by the least- squares method to R = 0.020, Rw = 0.034, and G OF = 1.93. The framework of the title compound can be described as slabs of [Cu P2O7], which are composed of undulating [CuP2O7] 2+ cation adopts a Cu O square planar coordination geometry which shares four ∞ ribbons, cross- linked by Na cations. The Cu 4 corner oxygens with two P2O7 pyrophosphate (diphosphate) groups in a trans orient ation and the Na+ cation appears in a distorted NaO6 octahedral coordination geometry. The extended [Cu P2O7] ∞ ribbon structure is constructed by alternating CuO4 and P2O7 units and was characterized by Cu-O-P-O-Cu linkages. The synthesis , structure, bonding, thermal property, and IR spectrum of the title compound are presented. Structural comparison with the Li2CuP2O7 and Sr2CuSi2O7 phases allows a possible conclusion concerning the role of the A-site cation in the framework formation to be drawn. The relative A-O bond strength and its relation to the thermal stability, with respect to melting, of the A2CuP2O7 (A = Li, Na, K) compound family are illust rated; the unknown structure of the tetragonal K 2CuP2O7 phase is briefly discussed.

The YAG phosphors were synthesized by the mech. method using an attrition-type mill without any extra-heat assistance. When Y F3 was added at 10 mass% to the raw powder materials and 10 min processed, the synthesis of YAG:Ce3+ was favorably achieved at the vessel temper ature of 230°C. The internal quantum yield of YAG:Ce3+ phosphor was evaluated by a quantum yield measur ement device. The synthesized YAG:Ce3+ phosphor revealed the maximum internal quantum yield of 55%.

By suitable adjustment of the flux synthesis parameters, including the nitridation temper ature and the composition of the molten salt, preferable exptl. conditions were found to suppress the formation of surface Nb defects and obtain samples with high crystallinity. The different SrNbO2N photoanodes were fabricated using the electrop horetic deposition (EPD) method followed by necking treatment. The Sr NbO2N photoanode prepared using the optimum exptl. conditions (nitridation temperature: 850°C, a molar ratio of flux SrCl2 : K Cl = 2 : 1) exhibited the highest photoc urrent d. of 2.0 mA cm -2 at 1.23 VRHE under simulated sunlight (AM 1.5G 100 mW cm -2) in a 1 M Na OH electrolyte. In comparison, the other highly defective Sr NbO2 N photoanodes demonstrated an unsatisfactory water oxidation performance, which demonstrates the necessity to reduce the destructive effect of defects in order to achieve a higher photoc urrent d.

The synthesis of atomically thin sheets and nanofibers of boehmite (γ-AlOOH) and their transformation into cubic alumina (γ- Al2O3) via annealing is explored. The sheets are as thin as one orthorhombic boehmite unit cell. The addition of aluminum into a room temper ature alloy of gallium, followed by exposing the melt to either liquid water or water vapor, allows growing either 2D sheets or 1D fibers, resp. The isolated oxide hydroxides feature large surface areas, with the sheet morphologies also showing a high Young's modulus. The method is green, since the liquid metal solvent can be fully reused. The ultrathin boehmite sheets are found suitable for the development of SciFinderⁿ® Page 117 freestanding membrane filters that enable excellent separation of heavy metal ions and oil from aqueous solutions at extraor dinary filtrate flux . The developed liquid metal- based synthesis process offers a sustainable, green, and rapid method for synthe sizing nanomorphologies of metal oxides which are challe nging to obtain by conven tional methods . The process is both sustai nable and scalable and may be explored for the creation of other types of metal oxide compounds Keywords: aluminum oxide hydroxide green synthesis alumina Journal Source Advanced Functional Materials Volume: 28 Issue: 44 Pages: n/a Journal 2018 DOI: 10.1002/adfm.201804057 CODEN: AFMDC6 ISSN: 1616-301X View all Sources in Scifinder n Database Information AN: 2018:1776416 CAN: 169:443172 CAplus Company/Organization School of Engineering RMIT University Melbourne 3001 Australia Publisher Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

G.; Falcke, H.; Singh, K.; Stappers, B.; Strom, R. G.; Al Yahyaoui, R. Context. Ultra-high energy (UHE) neutrinos and cosmic rays initiate particle cascades underneath the Moon's surface. These cascades have a neg. charge excess and radiate Cherenkov radio emission in a process known as the Askaryan effect. The optimal frequency window for observation of these pulses with radio telescopes on the Earth is around 150 M Hz. Aims. By observing the Moon with the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope array we are able to set a new limit on the U HE neutrino flux . Methods . The PuMa II backend is used to monitor the Moon in 4 frequency bands between 113 and 175 M Hz with a sampling frequency of 40 M Hz. The narrowband radio interf erence is digitally filtered out and the dispersive effect of the Earth's ionosphere is compen sated for. A trigger system is implemented to search for short pulses. By inserting simulated pulses in the raw data, the detection efficiency for pulses of various strength is calculated Results. With 47.6 h of observation time, we are able to set a limit on the U HE neutrino flux . This new limit is an order of magnitude lower than existing limits. In the near future, the digital radio array L OFAR will be used to achieve an even lower limit.

The layered perovskite (n = 4) Ruddlesden-Popper phase Na2Ca 2Nb4O13 was prepared within molten NaCl and Na2SO4 fluxes , yielding either rod-shaped or platelet-shaped particles, resp. The flux -to-reactant molar ratios of 5:1 or 20:1 were found to signifi cantly influence particle sizes and surface areas, while still mainta ining the overall particle shapes. Measured surface areas of flux prepared Na2Ca 2Nb4O13 particles ranged from ∼0.36 to 4.6 m 2/g, with the highest surface areas obtained using a 5: 1 (NaCl-to-Na2 Ca 2Nb4O13 ) molar ratio. All samples exhibited a bandgap size of ∼3.3 e V, as determined by UV-Vis diffuse reflectance measure ments. Photocatalytic rates for hydrogen production under UV light for platinized Na2Ca 2Nb4O13 particles in an aqueous methanol solution ranged from ∼230 to 1355 μmol H2 g -1 h -1 when using the photochem. deposition (P CD) method of platinization, and ∼113-1099 μmol H2 g -1 h -1 when using the incipient wetness impreg nation (IWI) method of platinization. The higher photocatalytic rates were obtained for the rod-shaped particles with the highest surface areas, with an apparent quantum yield (A QY) measured at ∼6.5% at 350 nm. For the platelet-shaped particles, the higher photocatalytic rates were observed for the sample with the lowest surface area but the largest concentration of stepped edges and grooves observed at the particle surfaces. The latter origin of the photocatalytic activity is confirmed by the signif icant enhancement of the photocatalytic rates by the PCD method that allows for the preferential deposition of the surface Pt cocatalyst islands at the stepped edges and grooves, while the photoca talytic enhanc ement is much smaller when using the more general I WI platinization method .

A high cubic/he xagonal ratio of more than 20 can be achieved by optimizing the synthesis conditions. An attempt was made to functionalize c-GaN by doping Eu element as a luminous origin. Cathodoluminescence and XANES study revealed that Eu can be doped into the c- GaN particles, causing them to take on the state of Eu3+ .

The as-prepared product was characterized by X- Ray Diffraction (XRD), SEM, Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) and X- Ray Photoelectron Spectrometry (XPS). The results showed that the asprepared sample had triclinic structure and consisted of whisker- like particles with an average diameter about 1.25 μm and length up to 40 μm. XPS results confirmed that the molar ratio of each atom agreed with the stoichi ometric composition of Mg2B2O5. The growth mechanism was briefly discussed.

The size of αalumina platelets increased with increasing flux concentrations and temperatures in both conditions of conven tional thermal and microwave heating. However, the sizes and size distributions of α-alumina platelets obtained by microwave heating were smaller and narrower, relatively, compared to those obtained by conven tional thermal heating. It was assumed that microwaves had a significant non-thermal effect in the stage of nucleation and crystal growth of α- alumina.

J.; Pyle, J.; Rakovan, John (REE, Y) phosphates were synthe sized in a 1 atm furnace by flux -growth methods involving Pb- free fluxes . Microcrystalline (REE, Y) phosphate was precipitated from a solution of (R EE, Y) chlorides or nitrates plus ammonium dihydrogen phosphate, and mixed with a M 2CO3 (M = Li or Na) -MoO3 flux (75:25:2 molar ratio M 2CO3:MoO3:REEPO4). Crystal growth was achieved over the temper ature range 1350- 870 °C, with extended (15 h) high- T soaking, and cooling rates of 3 °C/h. Crystals grown by this method are clear, generally inclusion-free, up to several mm in length, and are easily extracted from the water- soluble flux . Crystal size and habit are influenced by the alkali component of the flux . Successful LREE phosphate synthesis is favored by both Li- and Na-bearing fluxes , whereas better results for Y and MREE-HREE phosphates were achieved with Na- bearing fluxes . Li-bearing fluxes produced LREE phosphates with an overall platy habit, in contrast to more prismatic-to-equant LREE-MREE phosphates produced with Na- bearing fluxes . Structural refinements of single-crystal X-ray diffraction data show that LREEPO4 (La-Gd) crystallize with the monoclinic monazite structure, and HREEPO4 (Tb-Lu) plus YPO4 crystallize with the tetragonal xenotime structure. Element distri bution maps of synthetic REEPO4 reveal homogeneous distribution of REE and P at grain- size scale and below, and both wavele ngth-dispersive (WD) spectral scans and quant. electron microprobe analyses show no other elements (e.g., flux inclusions) present at signif icant levels. The synthetic phosphates grown with this method are suitable for use as electron microprobe standards and as composit ionally simplified monazite analogs for use in the design of U- Th-Pb chem. dating protocols. Wavelength dispersive scans of synthetic unary and ternary (La-Ce-Nd) phosphates reveal that Ar X- ray detectors produce non- filterable LREE escape peaks with pulse-height analyzers optimized for Pb anal. Such LREE escape peaks complicate collection of both U and Pb peak and background counts. Due to the larger energy difference between LREE peaks and Xe (relative to Ar) , LREE escape peaks produced in Xe detectors are filterable with pulse height analyzers, resulting in LREE-free spectra over the wavelength range sampled for Pb peak and background collection.

M. A.; Ciapaite, J.; Nicolay, K.; Prompers, J. J. 31 SciFinderⁿ® 31 P magnetic Page 129 resonance spectroscopy (MRS) has been used to assess skeletal muscle mitocho ndrial function in vivo by measuring 1) phosphocreatine (PCr) recovery after exercise or 2) resting A TP synthesis flux with saturation transfer (S T). In this study, we compared both parameters in a rat model of mitochondrial dysfunction with the aim of establishing the most approp riate method for the assessment of in vivo muscle mitochondrial function. Mitochondrial dysfunction was induced in adult Wistar rats by daily s.c. injections with the complex I inhibitor diphenyleneiodonium (DPI) for 2 wk. In vivo 31 P MRS measurements were supplemented by in vitro measurements of oxygen consumption in isolated mitochondria. Two weeks of D PI treatment induced mitocho ndrial dysfun ction, as evidenced by a 20% lower maximal A DP-stimulated oxygen consumption rate in isolated mitochondria from DPI-treated rats oxidizing pyruvate plus malate. This was paralleled by a 46% decrease in in vivo oxidative capacity, determined from postex ercise PCr recovery. Interestingly, no significant difference in resting, ST-based ATP synthesis flux was observed between D PItreated rats and controls. These results show that P Cr recovery after exercise has a more direct relati onship with skeletal muscle mitochondrial function than the A TP synthesis flux measured with 31 P ST MRS in the resting state.

B.; Garlick, P. J.; Sheppard, H. G.; Fern, M. The rates of N flux and protein synthesis in the whole body were measured in 2 fed volunteers on at least 5 occasions over a period of 3-4 yr. Each time the exptl. protocol and the amount of energy and protein consumed by the subjects were directly comparable. Paired measurements, separated by a period of 6 mo or more, were also made in 5 other volunt eers. Rates of flux and synthesis were estimated independently from 15 N excretion in urinary N H3 and total urea (excreted plus retained within the body) during a 9-h period after adminis tration of [ 15 N]glycine. The results obtained for the first 2 subjects indicate that the overall precision of measuring N flux by this method is between 5 and 11% when based on N H3 or urea alone and between 3 and 6% when based on the arithmetic or harmonic average of the rates given by these 2 end products. For synthesis the variation was slightly larger, up to 15% for NH3 or urea and between 5 and 7% for the 2 end- product averages Keywords: nitrogen flux body radioassay; protein formation body radioa ssay; nitrogen 15 glycine nitrogen protein SciFinderⁿ® Page 135 Journal Source Human Nutrition: Clinical Nutrition Volume: 38C Issue: 1 Pages: 63-73 Journal 1984 CODEN: HNCNDI ISSN: 0263-8290 View all Sources in Scifinder n Database Information AN: 1984:420093 CAN: 101:20093 CAplus Company/Organization Clin.

The results showed that the pure metastable state compound Bi 2SiO5 was obtained in NaCl-Na2SO4 flux at 625 °C for 1 h, which was lower than that (generally 750 °C) of conventional solid state reaction. X- ray diffraction revealed that in the case of NaCl-Na2SO4 molten salt, with increasing synthesis temperature (600 °C to 625 °C) , stable state Bi 12 SiO20 transformed into metastable state Bi 2 SiO5 and with synthesis temperature increasing from 625 °C to 700 °C, metastable state Bi 2SiO5 transformed into stable state Bi 4 Si3O12 gradually. Therefore, calcin ation temperature played a crucial role in the formation of Bi 2SiO5 powder. The field- emission SE M images disclosed that the Bi 2SiO5 samples showed nest like morphol., which was soft aggreg ation of Bi 2SiO5 nanosheets. Moreover, it also indicated that the mechanism of the process of molten salt synthesis was "dissolution-precipitation mechanism".

Various methods from stoichiometric and constraint-based modeling have been developed to calculate intervention strategies by which a given microor ganism can only grow if it synthe sizes a desired compound as a mandatory byproduct. However, growth-coupled synthesis is not necessarily feasible for every compound of a metabolic network and no rigorous criterion is currently known to test feasibility of coupled product and biomass formation (before searching for suitable intervention strategies). In this work, we show which properties a network must fulfill such that strain designs guaran teeing coupled biomass and product synthesis can exist at all. In networks without flux bounds, coupling is feasible if and only if an elementary mode exists that leads to formation of both biomass and product. Setting flux boundaries leads to more complicated inhomog eneous problems. Making use of the concept of elementary ( flux ) vectors, a general ization of elementary modes, a criterion for feasibility can also be derived for this situation. We applied our criteria to a metabolic model of Escher ichia coli and determined for each metabolite, whether its net production can be coupled with biomass synthesis and calculated the maximal (guaranteed) coupling yield. The somewhat surprising result is that, under aerobic conditions, coupling is indeed possible for each carbon metabolite of the central metabolism This also holds true for most metabolites under anaerobic conditions but conside ration of AT P maintenance requirements implies infeasi bility of coupling for certain compounds On the other hand, A TP maintenance may also increase the maximal coupling yield for some metabolites. Overall, our work provides important insights and novel tools for a central problem of computational strain design.

Convex Analysis. Princeton University Press, Princeton. 88 Synthesis of large single-grain 1/1 approximant crystals in the Ag-In-Eu system by the self- flux method By: Cui, Can; Tsai, An Pang In this work, we investigate single-grain 1/1 quasicrystal approximant crystals, grown via the self- flux method , in the Ag-In-Eu system, the structure of which is similar to the 1/1 approximant in the Cd-Eu system. Due to the similarities between the Cd-RE (RE = rare earth) and Ag-In-RE systems, Ag-In-RE can be regarded as a pseudo- binary phase, in which Ag and In replace Cd. Thus, based on the binary phase diagram of Cd-Eu, the growth conditions, including the nominal composition and decanting temperatures, for single-grain Ag-In-Eu 1/1 approximant crystal growth from indium-rich melt-solution were studied. A faceted, centim eter-sized single-grain 1/1 approximant crystal was obtained and characterized using powder X- ray diffraction, SEM and back-reflection Laue X-ray diffraction methods . The results are promising for the synthesis of single-grain approximant crystals in other Ag- In-RE systems.

After the synthesis , the desired CMS crystals were obtained, but a small amount of impurity phases, such as Ca2Mg2O7 and Ca3Mg2O8, were contained. By adding lithium carbonate Li2CO3 as a flux to the polymerizable complex method and washing with 1 mol dm -3 HCl solution, the desired CMS:Eu2+ was obtained in a single phase. The maximum lumine scence intensity was obtained at a flux concentration of 8 mol% for the compos ition CaMg2O6 when the amount of added flux was varied.

AlN nanowires were successfully prepared on sapphire substrate by the Al-Sn flux method . The obtained nanowires were hundreds of nanometers in diameter and tens of microns in length. The results of transmission electron microscopy (T EM) show that the growth direction of Al N nanowires was perpend icular to the C axis. The photoluminescence (PL) spectrum of AlN nanowires shows a broad peak, which is ascribed to the defect levels in the AlN bandgap. This work provides a novel method for growing AlN nanowires, which offers a potential material for the applic ation of photoelectron devices.

To invest igate the influence of synthesis temperature on the phase formation of phosphors, different synthesis temperatures were carried out in the work. With the increasing synthesis temperature, the phase of product transfers from Ba Al2O4 to BaAl12 O19 . And the emission band shifts to shorter wavelength due to the phase transition with the increasing synthesis temperature The reason of blue shift is revealed by the anal. of crystal field splitting. The synthesized BaAl12 O19 :Eu2+ phosphors also show high color purity and excell ently thermal stability.

Detailed calculations on modern light water reactors require a comput ation of the 3-dimensional flux distribution. The most straightforward and reliable method for this purpose is the 3- dimensional difference-equation technique, the only drawback of this method being that it consumes too much computing time and core memory. Many approx. methods to the difference equation technique were developed, and 1 of these is flux synthesis . The advantage of flux synthesis is its fastness; but perhaps the most important thing is that it does not require nearly as much core memory as does the difference-equation technique. A 3- dimensional flux synthesis burnup program S YNTRON was developed. S YNTRON uses a variat ional single-channel flux synthesis technique. Calculations were performed both with S YNTRON and difference-equation programs in 2 and 3 dimens ions. A discussion is given about the accuracy of flux synthesis , how to select trial functions (expansion functions) and how often it is necessary to recalc. the trial functions in burnup calculations In static calcula tions, variational flux synthesis formalism will give acceptable results if a reasonable set of trial functions is used. The real problem is how to select a set of trial functions which is representative at different burnup stages and different void fractions. These problems are discussed and illustrated by some calcul ations A method for regene ration of new trial functions from selected flux shapes from the previous 3- dimensional synthesis calculation is suggested.

Effects of various reaction variables such as reaction temperature, time, TiO2 mole ratio to K 2CO3, flux mole ratio to the mixture of K 2CO3 and TiO2, and slowcooling treatment on the crystall ization of K hexatitanate whisker were studied. K 2MoO4 and K 2WO4 were better flux than others tested for the synthesis of K hexatit anate. In the presence of K 2MoO4 or K 2WO4 flux , the optimum condition for the synthesis of K hexatitanate whisker was reaction temperature of 1000-1100°, reaction time of 5 h, TiO2 mole ratio to K 2CO3 of 6.0, and flux mole ratio to mixture (K 2O + nTiO2) of 4.0. Slow-cooling treatment showed good effect on the growth of long fibrous K hexatit anate.

The X-ray diffraction anal. showed that the crystal structure was Y2O2S. The decay curves of Y2O2S:Eu3+ and Y2O2S:Eu3+ , Mg2+ , Ti4+ were measured, the afterglow time of Y2 O2S: Eu3+ was about 30 min, the afterglow time of Y2O2S:Eu3+ , Mg2+ , Ti4+ was over 70 min. The emission spectra and excitation spectra of the phosphor were acquired. The emission spectra showed that Y2O2S:Eu3+ , Mg2+ , Ti4+ had narrow emission peaks: the emission peaks at 583.5 nm (5D0 → 7F0); 595.5, 597.3 nm ( 5D0 → 7F1); 617.3, 627.0 nm ( 5D0 → 7F2); 705.3, 707.0 nm ( 5D0→ 7F4) ascribed to Eu3+ ions transition from 5D0 → 7FJ (J = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4); 556.4 nm ( 5D1 → 7F2); 587.6, 589.5 nm ( 5D1 → 7F3) ascribed to Eu3+ ions transition from 5D1 to 7FJ (J=2,3); 467.8, 469.5 nm ( 5D2 → 7F0); 475.5, 477.5 nm ( 5D2 → 7F1); 488.3, 490.6 nm ( 5D2→ 7F2); 513.0, 514.0 nm (5D2 → 7F3); 540.1, 544.3 nm ( 5D2 → 7F4) ascribed to Eu3+ ions transition from 5D2 → 7FJ (J = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4); 497.0 nm ( 5D3 → 7F5) ascribed to Eu3+ ions transition from 5D3 → 7FJ (J = 5) were found. The charact eristic red emission at 617.3, 627.0 nm were due to the dominant 5D0 → 7F2 elec. dipole transi tion, and the emission at 627.0 nm was dominant. Due to the function of weak crystal- field, the emission ascribed to energy transition 5D1 → 7F3, 5D0 → 7F1 and 5D0 → 7F4 divided. The excitation spectra of Y2O2S:Eu3+ , Mg2+ , Ti4+ showed that it had excitation peaks at 345, 260, 396, 468, 540 nm, etc. The excitation peak, at 345 nm was ascribed to the absorption of charge transfer (Eu 3+ -O2-, Eu3+ -S2-). The excitation peaks at 468, 520, 540 nm were ascribed to the represe ntative 4f4f energy transition of Eu 3+ ions. The thermolum inescence glow curves of Y2O2S:Eu3+ and Y2O2S:Eu3+ , Mg2+ , Ti4+ were measured. The adulteration of Mg2+ , Ti4+ affected the afterglow charact eristic of Y2O2S:Eu3+ Mg2+ , Ti4+ distinctly. The thermoluminescence glow curve of Y2O2S:Eu3+ could be fitted to the peaks at 237, 276, 301 K. The thermolum inescence glow curve of Y2O2S:Eu3+ , Mg2+ , Ti4+ could be fitted to the peaks at 149, 215, 262, 287, 334 K. The afterglow characteristic of Y2O2S:Eu3+ and Y2O2S:Eu3+ , Mg2+ , Ti4+ mainly related to the thermal peaks at 301, 334K resp. The adulte ration of the Mg2+ , Ti4+ could enhance the afterglow charact eristic of phosphor distinctly.

A maximum power factor of 230 μ Wm-1K -2 and a very low thermal conductivity of 0.42 Wm -1K -1 were obtained, leading to a high Z T value of 0.37 at 680 K for pristine Bi CuSeO. With Cs doping, a large enhancement in elec. conduc tivity coupled with a moderate decrease in Seebeck coeffi cient lead to a power factor of 340 μWm-1K -2 at 680 K. In addition, Cs doping reduced the thermal conduc tivity further to 0.35 Wm -1K -1 at 680 K. The combination of higher power factor and reduced thermal conduc tivity results in a high Z T value of 0.66 at 680 K for Bi 0.995Cs 0.005Cu SeO.

By: Fern, E B; Garlick, P J; Sheppard, H G; Fern, M The rates of nitrogen flux and protein synthesis in the whole body were measured in two fed volunteers on at least five occasions over a period of 3-4 years. Each time the experi mental protocol and the amount of energy and protein consumed by the subjects were directly comparable. Paired measurements, separated by a period of 6 months or more, were also made in five other volunt eers. Rates of flux and synthesis were estimated independently from 15N excretion in urinary ammonia and total urea (excreted plus retained within the body) during a 9-h period after adminis tration of [15N]-glycine. The results obtained for the first two subjects indicate that the overall precision of measuring nitrogen flux by this method is between 5 and 11 per cent (coeffi cient of variation) when based on ammonia or urea alone and between 3 and 6 per cent when based on the arithmetic or harmonic average of the rates given by these two end products. For synthesis the variation was slightly larger - up to 15 per cent for ammonia or urea and between 5 and 7 per cent for the two end-product averages. SciFinderⁿ® Journal Source Human nutrition.
