The influence of Eu3+-doped on phase transition kinetics of pseudoboehmite has not been reported in the literature. Through dropping Eu(NO3)3into pseudoboehmite colloidal solution, pseudoboehmite xerogel was produced using spray pyrolysis. The influence of Eu3+-doped on the mechanism of pseudoboehmite phase transition kinetics has been calculated and analyzed by TG/DSC, XRD, and Kissinger equation. Part of Eu3+ion formed compound EuAl12O19, which existed betweenα-Al2O3grains. Bulk diffusion of Al3+was prevented from compound EuAl12O19. Therefore, phase transition kinetics rate ofθ-Al2O3 → α-Al2O3was slowed down, causing an increase of phase transition activation energy and elevation of phase transition temperature.

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