Because of X-ray amorphous character of GeO and B2O3 for study of interaction between them methods of IR transmission spectroscopy and spectroscopy of diffuse reflectance are applied. Essential change of positionand intensity of bands of absorption in system GeO-B2O3 (H3BO3) at heating and thermal evaporation in vacuum is established. It is observed essential gypsochromic shift of short-wave border and bathochromic shift of long wave border of domain of an optical transparency of a coating compared with initial GeO that testifies in favour of change of the nature of a material. A coating from Germanium (ІІ) oxide exhibits high optical and operational parameters and are perspective for interference optics of an IR range of a spectrum.

AbstractKaz 163 is a close double galaxy. Its southern component S is compact, with a very blue nucleus, in which heated active processes take place. From time to time gas formations are ejected from it, which behave themselves like emission components around the main emission lines Hα and Hβ, around both from their long-wave and short-wave sides. This paper presents the spectral data of new observations, which were carried out with the 2.6m telescope at the Byurakan Astrophysical Observatory in September 2011. During the former observation in October 1981, lines [NII] λλ 6584,6548 were not visible in the spectrum of the component S. In 2001 they were already visible on the spectrum, and on the spectrum obtained in 2011 they already surpassed the intensity of Hα. The magnitude of the component S is also changing: its nucleus is very blue and its U-B = −0m.63. In the soft X-ray spectral range (0.1–2 keV) the flux of the radiation changed by 45% during 55,000 sec, and in the hard one (2–10keV) it changed up to 3.4 times. Photoindices Γ for the soft and hard ranges in the spectrum of galaxy S, unlike other objects, do not so much differ from each other. The mean value for the first interval is approximately 2.5 and is equal −2.0 for the second one. On the histogram of redshifts Kaz 163 corresponds to the first big peak of the distribution. It is concluded that the component S of the galaxy Kaz 163 is a NLS1 galaxy, with the development of their evolution, is in the preliminary stage. Component N is a normal elliptical galaxy with no activity.

Abstract Huenite, Cu4Mo3O12(OH)2, is a new copper and molybdenum oxy-hydroxide mineral found in the San Samuel Mine, Carrera Pinto, Cachiyuyo de Llampos district, Copiapó Province, Atacama Region, Chile. This new species forms flattened orthorhombic prisms up to 60–70 μm in size, weakly elongated along [001]. Huenite crystals were found on fractured surfaces of a quartz breccia, forming aggregates 1 mm in diameter in close association with lindgrenite, gypsum, dark grayish-brown tourmaline, and an unknown pale purple phase. The color is very dark reddish-brown, with a strong vitreous to adamantine luster. Its streak is pale reddish-brown to pinkish. The mineral is brittle with an irregular fracture and a Mohs hardness of 3.5–4 with a good cleavage on {010}. Its calculated density is 5.1 g/cm3. The calculated refractive index is 2.18. Huenite is non-fluorescent under 254 nm (short wave) and 366 nm (long wave) ultraviolet light. The empirical formula, calculated on the basis of 3 (Mo+S+Si) atoms per formula unit, is (Cu3.519Fe2+0.403)Σ3.922(Mo2.907S0.090Si0.003)Σ3.000O12·(OH)2.229, with H2O content calculated for a total of 100 wt.%. Huenite is trigonal, with space group P31/c and unit-cell parameters a = 7.653(5) Å, c = 9.411(6) Å, and V = 477.4(5) Å3 for Z = 2. The eight strongest measured powder X-ray diffraction lines are: [d in Å, (I/I0), (hkl)]: 2.974 (100) (112), 1.712 (59.8) (132), 3.810 (50.6) (110), 2.702 (41.2) (022), 2.497 (38.1) (120), 1.450 (37.2) (134), 6.786 (24.9) (010), and 5.374 (24.5) (011). The mineral, which has been approved by the CNMNC under number IMA 2015-122, is named in honor of Edgar Huen.

CuO- and Ag2O-decorated g-C3N4 photocatalysts were prepared by appropriate chemical modification of carbon nitride nanosheets produced from programmed pyrolysis of urea. After comprehensive characterization by powder X-ray diffraction, diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, Fourier transform–infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller analysis methods, their photocatalytic performances were examined for the removal of Acid Blue 92 azo dye, as a typical wastewater component from the textile industry. The X-ray diffraction patterns confirmed the presence of CuO and Ag2O nanoparticles on the surface of the sheets. In addition, diffuse reflectance spectra indicated a considerable reduction of the band gap of pure C3N4 by modification. The photoreaction was discussed mechanistically and the best operational parameters were found to achieve the highest efficiency under visible light.

Abstract Long-wave infrared (LWIR) spectra can be interpreted using a Random Forest machine learning approach to predict mineral species and abundances. In this study, hydrothermally altered carbonate rock core samples from the Fourmile Carlin-type Au discovery, Nevada, were analyzed by LWIR and micro-X-ray fluorescence (μXRF). Linear programming-derived mineral abundances from quantified μXRF data were used as training data to construct a series of Random Forest regression models. The LWIR Random Forest models produced mineral proportion estimates with root mean square errors of 1.17 to 6.75% (model predictions) and 1.06 to 6.19% (compared to quantitative X-ray diffraction data) for calcite, dolomite, kaolinite, white mica, phlogopite, K-feldspar, and quartz. These results are comparable to the error of proportion estimates from linear spectral deconvolution (±7–15%), a commonly used spectral unmixing technique. Having a mineralogical and chemical training data set makes it possible to identify and quantify mineralogy and provides a more robust and meaningful LWIR spectral interpretation than current methods of utilizing a spectral library or spectral end-member extraction. Using the method presented here, LWIR spectroscopy can be used to overcome the limitations inherent with the use of short-wave infrared (SWIR) in fine-grained, low reflectance rocks. This new approach can be applied to any deposit type, improving the accuracy and speed of infrared data interpretation.

AbstractOmsite (IMA 2012-025) is a new mineral from the Correc d'en Llinassos, Oms, Pyrénées-Orientales Department, France. It occurs as bright yellow to amber yellow discoidal tablets, flattened on {001}, which form rosettes typically 50–100 μm in diameter. Omsite generally crystallizes on siderite without associated supergene minerals; it occurs less commonly with glaukosphaerite. Crystals have a vitreous to resinous lustre, and are transparent to translucent. Omsite is not fluorescent in either short-wave or long-wave ultraviolet light. It has an estimated hardness of 3 on the Mohs' scale, is brittle with an irregular fracture, and has one poor cleavage on {001}. The calculated density is 3.378 g cm–3. Crystals are uniaxial (–), with indices of refraction of ω = 1.728(3) and ε = 1.66(1), measured in white light. Pleochroism is ω = orange-yellow, ε = pale orange-yellow; ω > ε. The empirical formula [based on 12 (OH + Cl) p.f.u.] is (Ni1.0992+Cu0.6652+Mg0.107Fe0.0453+)Σ 1.916Fe1.0003+(Sb0.9475+As0.072Na0.029)Σ1.048OH11.967Cl0.033. Omsite crystallizes in space group P, with unit-cell parameters a = 5.3506(8), c = 19.5802(15) Å, V = 485.46(10) Å3 and Z = 2 determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The five strongest lines in the X-ray powder diffraction pattern [d in Å, (Irel), (hkl)] are as follows: 4.901, (100), (004); 4.575, (83), (011); 2.3539, (81), (11); 1.8079, (48), (11); 3.781, (34), (103). The crystal structure was solved to R1 = 0.0896 for 356 observed reflections [Fo>4σFo] and 0.1018 for all the 469 unique reflections. Omsite is a layered double hydroxide (LDH) mineral, with a topology consistent with members of the hydrotalcite supergroup and cualstibite group.

Lead selenide PbSe thin films of different thicknesses (300, 500, and 700 nm) were deposited under vacuum using thermal evaporation method on glass substrates. X-ray diffraction measurements showed that increasing of thickness lead to well crystallize the prepared samples, such that the crystallite size increases while the dislocation density decreases with thickness increasing. A.C conductivity, dielectric constants, and loss tangent are studied as function to thickness, frequency (10kHz-10MHz) and temperatures (293K-493K). The conductivity measurements confirm confirmed that hopping is the mechanism responsible for the conduction process. Increasing of thickness decreases the thermal activation energy estimated from Arhinus equation is found to decrease with thickness increasing. The increase of thickness lead to reduce the polarizability α while the increasing of temperature lead to increase α.

Infrared spectroscopy is typically not used to establish the oxidation state of metal-based catalysts. In this work, we show that the baseline of spectra collected in diffuse reflectance mode of a series of Pd/Al2O3 samples of increasing Pd content varies significantly and reversibly under alternate pulses of CO or H2 and O2. Moreover, these baseline changes are proportional to the Pd content in Pd/Al2O3 samples exhibiting comparable Pd particle size. Similar measurements by X-ray absorption spectroscopy on a different 2 wt.% Pd/Al2O3 confirm that the baseline changes reflect the reversible reduction-oxidation of Pd. Hence, we demonstrate that changes in oxidation state of metal-based catalysts can be determined using diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) and that this behavior is part of the spectral changes that are returned by experiments under operando conditions.

A new ruthenium(II) porphyrin disulphide derivative, [ Ru ( Pds )( CO )], was obtained from ruthenium(II)(carbonyl)deuteroporphyrin(IX), [ Ru ( DPdc )( CO )] and cystamine. The interaction of this complex with nitric oxide was studied spectrophotometrically and a bathochromic shift of the charge transfer band and considerable change in the α and β bands of the complex were observed. According to the IR spectrum, the product of this interaction is [ Ru ( DmDP )( NO +)( NO 2-)]. [ Ru ( Pds )( CO )] was then self-assembled on polycrystalline gold and characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. [ Ru ( Pds )( CO )] was also self-assembled on gold electrode beads and its interaction with nitric oxide in aqueous solution was studied by cyclic voltammetry. A shift in the ruthenium redox process and a new irreversible cathodic peak at -0.59 V were observed, both indicating coordination of NO .
