AbstractThe possibility of scanning electron microscope (SEM) observation and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectrometry analysis in microscale regions of insulating samples using diluted ionic liquid was investigated. It is possible to obtain clear secondary electron images of insulating samples such as a rock and mineral at 5,000 times magnification by dropping 10 μL of 1 wt% of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate (EMI-CH3COO) diluted with ethanol onto the samples. We also obtained EDX spectra of the samples in microscale regions (∼5 μm2) without overlapping EDX spectra of other minerals with different composition. It might be possible to perform quantitative analysis of the samples if a method that does not need standard samples is applied or an X-ray detector sensitive for light elements was attached. The method of dropping 1 wt% EMI-CH3COO diluted with ethanol onto insulating samples is useful for SEM observation, EDX analysis in microscale regions, and the preservation of scarce rock and mineral samples because ionic liquid can be easily removed with acetone.

New refining technology of soda – calcium – silicon glass surfaces with inorganic compounds nanomolecules has been presented in the study. In order to determine modification of the glass surface SEM observation and EDX analysis have been carried out. The glass samples were subjected to the UV-VIS, photo-elasticity and ellipsometry examinations. From obtained results follows, that refining of the glass surface by nanopowder aluminum hydroxide compounds provides forming of very thin surface layers. This type of modification improves physical glass properties. As the example results of microhardness refined glass are presented in the article.Keywords: glass, surface, nanoparticles, refining

The title compound, [Te8][NbOCl4]2, was obtained as translucent black crystals by reaction of elemental tellurium, niobium(V) chloride and niobium(V) oxychloride in the ionic liquid BMImCl (BMImCl is 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride). The synthesis was performed in argon-filled glass ampoules. According to X-ray structure analysis based on single crystals, the title compound crystallizes with triclinic lattice symmetry and consists of infinite {[Te8]2+}ncations associated with pyramidal [NbOCl4]−anions. The novelcatena-octatellurium(2+) cation is composed of Te5rings that are linkedviaTe3units [Te—Te = 2.6455 (18)–2.8164 (19) Å]. The composition and purity of [Te8][NbOCl4]2were further confirmed by energy-dispersive X-ray diffraction (EDX) analysis.
