Bis-thiourea strontium chloride was synthesized and single crystals were grown by the slow solvent evaporation technique using aqueous solvent. The solubility curve was obtained and the determination of the induction period as well as the evaluation of kinetic parameters of nucleation was carried out. The powder XRD analysis suggested orthorhombic crystal structure. The FT-IR spectrum confirmed the presence of various functional groups. The thermo-gravimetry analysis was carried out and the crystals were found to be stable up to 170°C. Applying Coats and Redferm relation to the thermo-gram, the kinetic and thermodynamic parameters of dehydration were calculated. The dielectric study was carried out in the frequency range of applied field from 500 Hz to 1 MHz. The variations of dielectric constant, dielectric loss, AC resistivity and AC conductivity were studied with frequency. It was found that the dielectric constant and the dielectric loss decreased as the frequency of applied field increased, whereas the AC resistivity increased as the frequency increased.

There are various nonlinear optical materials having crystalline nature and find various applications in science and technology. Tris-thiourea strontium chloride was synthesized and single crystals were grown by the slow solvent evaporation technique using aqueous solvent. The grown crystals were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), and X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD). The FT-IR spectra of these crystals were recorded in the wave number range 400-4000 cm-1 which reveals the presence of various functional groups. The powder XRD analysis suggested orthorhombic crystal structure.

Optically good quality single crystals of pure and L-lysine monohydrochloride-doped KDP crystals have been grown by a slow evaporation method. The grown crystals have been subjected to optical and dielectric studies. The UV-Vis spectrum shows the transmitting ability of the crystals in the entire visible region and transmittance percentage is increased for the doped KDP crystals. From the dielectric study, it is found that the dielectric constant and the dielectric loss of L-lysine-doped KDP crystals were lower than the pure KDP crystals. Hence L-lysine-doped KDP crystals are found to be more beneficial from an application point of view as compared to pure KDP crystals.

The variation of the dielectric constant (ε′) and the dielectric loss (ε″) have been studied as a function of frequency (102 to 1010 c.p.s.) for normal (as grown), reduced (heated in vacuum), and specially reduced (heated in vacuum in presence of an asymmetric d.c. field) rutile single crystals parallel to c-axis at room temperature. Dispersions in ε′ have been observed in the frequency ranges 102 to 103 and 107 to 109 c.p.s. for all the samples with absorption peaks in ε″ at 2 × 102 and 6 × 107 c.p.s. Also an extra absorption peak in ε″ has been found at 2 × 104 c.p.s. for the specially reduced sample. The absorption peak at 2 × 102 c.p.s. has been observed by many workers and is typical for interfacial polarization. The peak at 6 × 107 c.p.s. appears to be due to a dipole rotation process with a single relaxation time and is identified as due to relaxation of dipoles formed between Ti3+ and a neighboring oxygen vacancy. The possible mechanism of relaxation for the 2 × 104 c.p.s. absorption peak is also discussed.

Hydroxyapatite (Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2-HAp), is an excellent inorganic biomaterial and finds various applications. As it is similar to inorganic matrix of human bone and dental enamel, pure and doped HAps are widely studied. In the present study, pure nano-HAp and Strontium doped nano-HAp (Sr-HAp) with different concentrations were synthesized by surfactant mediated approach. The doping of strontium was confirmed by EDAX. The powder XRD study was carried out and it suggested nano-crystalline nature of the sample and the extra peaks observed other than HAp were due to the presence of brushite phase for higher concentration of Sr. TEM study revealed the needle type morphology for all the samples with size ranging from 23 nm to 78 nm. The dielectric study was carried out at room temperature within the frequency range from 102 Hz to 107 Hz and the variations of dielectric constant with frequency of applied field as well as with the concentration of strontium were studied. The results are discussed.

The present paper deals with the dielectric study (dielectric constant, dielectric loss) of two medicinal oils, coriandar and radish oil and their binary mixtures at different temperatures and frequencies. HP 4194A impedance gain/phase analyzer and temperature controller (Julabo, model number F-25, microprocessor controlled) were used for determination of dielectric parameters and maintaining the temperature of pure oils their binary mixtures.

Ammonium penataborate (APB) crystals are well known for their nonlinear optical (NLO) properties. Attempt is made to study the changes produced by addition of chalcogenide compound sodium sulphide in APB crystals. Di-sodium sulphide (Na2S) is soluble in water and its solubility is further increased for Na2S nanoparticles. The Na2S nanoparticles are synthesized by using co-precipitation method followed by microwave irradiation. The slow solvent evaporation method is used to grow pure and Na2S added APB crystals. Pure and Na2S added APB crystals possess orthorhombic crystal structure with the mixed phase nature for the Na2S added APB. The presence of sodium in APB is confirmed by AAS study. In FTIR spectra the absorption peak of S–H asymmetric stretching is observed for Na2S added APB indicating the presence of sulphur. The thermal stability of APB crystal is enhanced on doping the Na2S in it. The dielectric study is also carried out within this frequency range. The Jonscher’s power law is applied to AC conductivity data. The impedance spectroscopy study is carried out at room temperature within 100 Hz to 1 MHz frequency range. The complex impedance and modulus plots are drawn. The complex impedance plots indicate only the grain contribution. The Kurtz and Perry powder study indicates that all the crystals are exhibiting NLO properties with varying SHG efficiency.

Our understanding of the structure and the formation of inorganic minerals in the bivalve shells has been considerably advanced by the use of electron microscope. However, very little is known about the ultrastructure of valves in the larval stage of the oysters. The present study examines the developmental changes which occur between the time of conception to the early stages of Dissoconch in the Crassostrea virginica(Gmelin), focusing on the initial deposition of inorganic crystals by the oysters.The spawning was induced by elevating the temperature of the seawater where the adult oysters were conditioned. The eggs and sperm were collected separately, then immediately mixed for the fertilizations to occur. Fertilized animals were kept in the incubator where various stages of development were stopped and observed. The detailed analysis of the early stages of growth showed that CaCO3 crystals(aragonite), with orthorhombic crystal structure, are deposited as early as gastrula stage(Figuresla-b). The next stage in development, the prodissoconch, revealed that the crystal orientation is in the form of spherulites.

<div> <p>Solid electrolytes are crucial for next‑generation solid‑state batteries and Na<sub>3</sub>PS<sub>4</sub> is one of the most promising Na<sup>+</sup> conductors for such applications. At present, two phases of Na<sub>3</sub>PS<sub>4</sub> have been identified and it had been thought to melt above 500 °C. In contrast, we show that it remains solid above this temperature and transforms into a third polymorph, γ, exhibiting superionic behavior. We propose an orthorhombic crystal structure for γ‑Na<sub>3</sub>PS<sub>4</sub> based on scattering density analysis of diffraction data and density functional theory calculations. We show that the Na<sup>+</sup> superionic behavior is associated with rotational motion of the thiophosphate polyanions pointing to a rotor phase, based on <i>ab initio</i> molecular dynamics simulations and supported by high‑temperature synchrotron and neutron diffraction, thermal analysis and impedance spectroscopy. These findings are of importance for the development of new polyanion‑based solid electrolytes.</p> </div>
