Hcp Structure

The possible dislocations and slip systems in the wurtzite structure are the same as in hcp structure [1]. The Burgers vectors of these dislocations are . The dislocations can lie on either the (0001) basal plane or prism planes. The dislocations lie on pyramidal planes. TEM studies have revealed that there are predominately three types of dislocations in a wurtzite GaN epilayer which has not been grown by selective overgrowth (e. g. [2, 3]). The majority of the dislocations are threading dislocations with Burgers vector which appear randomly in the epilayer, they result from the growth errors during the growth process. The other two types of dislocation are halflpops with a [0001] or Burgers vector. The [0001] dislocation half-loop lies on the prism plane and the dislocation half-loop lies on the (0001) basal plane which usually appears near the epilayer/substrate interface.

AbstractWhen a 6H-SiC single crystal is deformed under indentation or uniaxial compression in orientations not favorable for the activation of the 1/3[1120](0001) easy glide system, the secondary slip system is activated. Additionally, for low- temperature deformations, “kinks” and/or micro-cracks form in the crystal. In this paper, experimental results on relatively lowtemperature compression and indentation tests of single crystal 6H-SiC, and the microstructure of the deformed crystals, are presented. Based on the results, the secondary slip system in 6HSiC has been determined to be 1/3[1120](1100), which may actually be a combination of alternate glide of 1/3[1120] dislocations on the (1102) and (1102) planes. Further, dislocation mechanisms for the nucleation of prism-plane and basal-plane cracks, and for the process of kinking, in deformed 6H-SiC are proposed.

Reaction Proceeds

Natural Brucite (Mg(OH)2) decomposes on heating to form magnesium oxide (MgO) having its cubic ﹛110﹜ and ﹛111﹜ planes respectively parallel to the prism and basal planes of the hexagonal brucite lattice. Although the crystal-lographic relation between the parent brucite crystal and the resulting mag-nesium oxide crystallites is well known, the exact mechanism by which the reaction proceeds is still a matter of controversy. Goodman described the decomposition as an initial shrinkage in the brucite basal plane allowing magnesium ions to shift their original sites to the required magnesium oxide positions followed by a collapse of the planes along the original <0001> direction of the brucite crystal. He noted that the (110) diffraction spots of brucite immediately shifted to the positions required for the (220) reflections of magnesium oxide. Gordon observed separate diffraction spots for the (110) brucite and (220) magnesium oxide planes. The positions of the (110) and (100) brucite never changed but only diminished in intensity while the (220) planes of magnesium shifted from a value larger than the listed ASTM d spacing to the predicted value as the decomposition progressed.

Further Development

The issue of strong flux pinning is crucial to the further development of high critical current density Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O (BSCCO) superconductors in conductor-like applications, yet the pinning mechanisms are still much debated. Anomalous peaks in the M-H (magnetization vs. magnetic field) loops are commonly observed in Bi2Sr2CaCu2Oy (Bi-2212) single crystals. Oxygen vacancies may be effective flux pinning centers in BSCCO, as has been found in YBCO. However, it has also been proposed that basal-plane dislocation networks also act as effective pinning centers. Yang et al. proposed that the characteristic scale of the basal-plane dislocation networksmay strongly depend on oxygen content and the anomalous peak in the M-H loop at ˜20-30K may be due tothe flux pinning of decoupled two-dimensional pancake vortices by the dislocation networks. In light of this, we have performed an insitu observation on the dislocation networks precisely at the same region before and after annealing in air, vacuumand oxygen, in order to verify whether the dislocation networks change with varying oxygen content Inall cases, we have not found any noticeable changes in dislocation structure, regardless of the drastic changes in Tc and the anomalous magnetization. Therefore, it does not appear that the anomalous peak in the M-H loops is controlled by the basal-plane dislocation networks.

ABSTRACTClay-polymer nanoparticulate composite materials are evaluated by the X-ray diffraction technique. The basal plane spacing provided information about the degree of intercalation and exfoliation of the 2: 1 layered clay structure. Both intercalation and exfoliation are controlled by the identity of the polymer and the clay:polymer ratio.

Antifreeze Activity

AbstractAntifreeze proteins (AFPs) inhibit ice growth by adsorbing onto specific ice planes. Microbial AFPs show diverse antifreeze activity and ice plane specificity, while sharing a common molecular scaffold. To probe the molecular mechanisms responsible for AFP activity, we here characterized the antifreeze activity and crystal structure of TisAFP7 from the snow mold fungus Typhula ishikariensis. TisAFP7 exhibited intermediate activity, with the ability to bind the basal plane, compared with a hyperactive isoform TisAFP8 and a moderately active isoform TisAFP6. Analysis of the TisAFP7 crystal structure revealed a bound-water network arranged in a zigzag pattern on the surface of the protein’s ice-binding site (IBS). While the three AFP isoforms shared the water network pattern, the network on TisAFP7 IBS was not extensive, which was likely related to its intermediate activity. Analysis of the TisAFP7 crystal structure also revealed the presence of additional water molecules that form a ring-like network surrounding the hydrophobic side chain of a crucial IBS phenylalanine, which might be responsible for the increased adsorption of AFP molecule onto the basal plane. Based on these observations, we propose that the extended water network and hydrophobic hydration at IBS together determine the TisAFP activity.
