Abstract Monte Carlo simulations have been carried our for 5, 25, 50, and 75 weight% aqueous solutions of hydroxylamine. Changes in the microstructure of the solutions have been evaluated by means of radial and angular distribution functions, coordination number distributions and pair energy anal­ysis. The structure of liquid hydroxylamine is strongly altered by even small amounts of water, whereas water clusters similar to the pure water are maintained up to higher NH2OH concentra­tions. The structural entities in the mixtures are determined by hydrogen bonding and electrostatic arrangement of ligands.

The Lewis acid–base interaction and cooperative C-H⋯O weak hydrogen bonding have been widely suggested as two key factors in the solubility of CO2 -philic materials. In this work, both ab initio and Monte Carlo simulations were performed to investigate the properties of the two important interactions between CO2 and several common organic molecules. Binding energies, geometries and charge transfer were calculated by ab initio method, showing that the mutual enhancement between the two sorts of interactions plays an important role in the stability of the CO2 complexes. Monte Carlo simulations were employed to investigate the effect of many-body interactions in real solutions. The results show that the many-body interactions also have a significant impact on the energetic and geometric properties of the CO2 complexes. Moreover, the self-aggregation of strong polar molecules will greatly weaken the effective Lewis acid–base interaction due to the zone overlapping, which needs to be taken into account in the design of future CO2 -philes.

Energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDS) performed at low (≤ 5 kV) accelerating voltages in the SEM has the potential for providing quantitative microanalytical information with a spatial resolution of ∼100 nm. In the present work, EDS analyses were performed on magnesium ferrite spinel [(MgxFe1−x)Fe2O4] dendrites embedded in a MgO matrix, as shown in Fig. 1. spatial resolution of X-ray microanalysis at conventional accelerating voltages is insufficient for the quantitative analysis of these dendrites, which have widths of the order of a few hundred nanometers, without deconvolution of contributions from the MgO matrix. However, Monte Carlo simulations indicate that the interaction volume for MgFe2O4 is ∼150 nm at 3 kV accelerating voltage and therefore sufficient to analyze the dendrites without matrix contributions.Single-crystal {001}-oriented MgO was reacted with hematite (Fe2O3) powder for 6 h at 1450°C in air and furnace cooled. The specimen was then cleaved to expose a clean cross-section suitable for microanalysis.
