Modeling of the structure formation of hexagonal diamond from graphite and cubic diamond was performed using the density functional theory method. The transformation of orthorhombic AB graphite into hexagonal diamond can occur as a result of uniaxial compression at pressures above 61 GPa. For the formation of hexagonal diamond from AA graphite, the pressure must exceed 57 GPa. Another possible way to obtain hexagonal diamond is uniaxial compression of cubic diamond at pressures from 300 to 380 GPa. The data of theoretical calculations were used to interpret the diffraction data obtained as a result of X-ray diffraction and electron microscopic analysis of natural and synthetic diamond-like materials. It was found that crystals with the ideal cubic and hexagonal structure are not contained in diamond-like carbon materials, and their structure is characterized by random packing of molecular layers.

The molecular and crystalline structure of ethyl 1′,2′,3′,4′,4a′,5′,6′,7′-octahydrodispiro[cyclohexane-1,2′-quinazoline-4′,1′′-cyclohexane]-8′-carbodithioate (I) was solved and refined from powder synchrotron X-ray diffraction data. The initial model for the structural solution in direct space using the simulated annealing algorithm implemented in DASH [David et al. (2006). J. Appl. Cryst. 39, 910–915] was obtained performing a conformational study on the fused six-membered rings of the octahydroquinazoline system and the two spiran cyclohexane rings of (I). The best model was chosen using experimental evidence from 1H and 13C NMR [Contreras et al. (2001). J. Heterocycl. Chem. 38, 1223–1225] in combination with semi-empirical AM1 calculations. In the refined structure the two spiran rings have the chair conformation, while both of the fused rings in the octahydroquinazoline system have half-chair conformations compared with in-vacuum density-functional theory (DFT) B3LYP/6-311G*, DFTB (density-functional tight-binding) theoretical calculations in the solid state and other related structures from X-ray diffraction data. Compound (I) presents weak intramolecular hydrogen bonds of the type N—H...S and C—H...S, which produce delocalization of the electron density in the generated rings described by graph symbols S(6) and S(5). Packing of the molecules is dominated by van der Waals interactions.

The experimental geometry obtained from single-crystal X-ray diffraction for a number of binuclear S-bridged manganese complexes is compared with the results of theoretical calculations made at theab initiolevel by using Hartree–Fock and density functional theory methods with medium-size and large basis sets. The optimized geometries obtained were somewhat relaxed when compared with the experimental ones, with very similar bond and torsion angles but longer bond lengths. The mean square deviation for bond lengths (angles) was found to be between 0.046 Å (1.1°) and 0.004 Å (0.7°) depending on the theoretical model used.

This article discussed the influence of FA fineness on the production performance and usability through the autoclaved aerated concrete slurry gas foaming curve and basic physical properties of blocks; meanwhile, studied the influence of different fineness FA on the composition and morphology of hydration products through X-ray diffraction analysis and scanning electron microscopic analysis, The results show that in the cement-fly ash-lime system autoclaved aerated concrete, the higher fineness of FA, the more water it need, and more sensitive the slurry presents; when the FA residue decrease from 17.8% to 8% through a 0.045mm square hole sieve screen, its specific surface area enlarge from 325m2/Kg to 388m2/Kg, the autoclaved aerated concrete specific strength increase by 53.24% and 40.96% in the case of the same ratio of water and resemble extended degree, respectively. Keep on increasing FA fineness does harm to its specific strength. The crystallinity of tobermorite, which is the main hydration products of autoclaved aerated concrete decreases with the increasing of FA fineness, however, crystallite size become larger.

The high-pressure induced phase transition of YSb has been studied using the density functional theory method within the generalized gradient approximation. It was found that the first-order structural phase transition began to occur at 30.8 GPa, agreeing well with available experiments and theoretical calculations. In this phase transition, we do not find changes in the heat capacity and thermal expansion coefficients at lower and higher temperature, but the transition pressures decrease with temperature. The bulk modulus and Debye temperature decrease with increasing temperature, while they increase with increasing pressure. Also, the density of states and band structure of these two compounds with B1 and B2 structures have been presented and analyzed.

ABSTRACTSingle crystalline AlN epitaxial layers have been grown on and (0001) sapphire and 6H-SiC substrates by MOVPE technique at high temperatures in the range of 1340-1500°C. The structural qualities of the high temperature grown AlN layers were found to be good as evidenced by X-ray diffraction analyses results. By transmission electron microscopic analysis, dislocation densities of the layers were found to be 6.2 × 107 cm−2 or lower and the formation of dislocation loops was confirmed. High temperature bridge layers of AlN and AlxGa1−xN layers were grown on linear-groove patterned sapphire based AlN templates and 6H-SiC substrates. AlxGa1−xN bridge layers exhibited different growth behaviours depending on the direction of groove patterns on the sub-strates.

The article studied the effect of annealing on the structure and properties of zirconium dioxide coatings obtained by detonation spraying. Detonation spraying was realized on a computerized detonation spraying complex of the new generation CCDS2000. Determined that coatings made of zirconium dioxide are characterized by high adhesive strength of adherence to the substrate. Thermal annealing of coated samples was performed at temperatures of 900-1200◦ C. It was determined that the microhardness of zirconium dioxide coatings increases by 10-25% depending on the annealing temperature after annealing. The results of nanoindentation showed that the nanohardness of the coatings after annealing at 1000◦ C increases by 50%. It was determined that after annealing at 1000◦ C, the elastic modulus of the coatings increases, which indicates a decrease in plasticity and an increase in the strength of the coatings. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that the phase composition of coatings before and after annealing consists of t-ZrO2. After annealing occurs there is an increase in the degree of t-ZrO2 tetragonality. Electron microscopic analysis showed that an increase in the number and size of micro-continuity in the form of thin layers after annealing. Determined that increase the hardness of zirconium dioxide after annealing at 900-1200◦ C is associated with a higher degree of tetragonality t-ZrO2 phase.

Biological control agents, such as Trichoderma harzianum, are widely used in sustainable agriculture. However, commercialisation and mass production of biocontrol products have remained a challenge, especially in viability and efficiency in field application. The encapsulation method has emerged as a sophisticated technique to develop the formulation of T. harzianum. Hence, encapsulation through extrusion was used to prepare T. harzianum beads. The physical characteristics comprising weight, diameter, and swelling ability of the beads were significantly improved when the starch percentage was increased. Alginate-montmorillonite-starch (10%) revealed the lowest shrinkage and the highest swelling ability. The interaction within the functional groups of alginate, montmorillonite, and starch was confirmed by the Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopic (FTIR) study. Furthermore, scanning electron microscopic analysis exposed compatible scattering of montmorillonite particles and starch granules over the alginate linkages. Meanwhile, the X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed the exfoliation between starch and montmorillonite. Storage of T. harzianum beads at 5°C was more suitable than storage at 28°C. At low temperature, the encapsulated T. harzianum beads maintained their viability at 6.59 ± 0.12 log CFU g−1 for an effective threshold value for up to seven months. The current findings indicated that the combination of alginate, montmorillonite, and starch is the best formulation of encapsulated T. harzianum with improved conidia shelf life. © 2021 Friends Science Publishers

Abstrak Peristiwa adsorpsi atom Hidrogen pada Grafena menyebabkan terjadinya perubahan struktur Grafena. Perubahan ini mempengaruhi keadaan densitas muatan Grafena. Pada simulasi ini posisi atom Hidrogen pada permukaan lembaran Grafena divariasikan, yaitu pada posisi tepat di atas atom Karbon (Top), posisi di tengah antara dua atom Karbon (Bridge), dan posisi pusat struktur heksagonal (Hollow). Simulasi dilakukan dengan metode Teori Fungsi Kerapatan dengan model Grafena ukuran 2x2. Hasil yang diperoleh menunjukkan adsorpsi atom Hidrogen memilih posisi Top sebagai yang paling stabil dibandingkan dengan posisi Bridge dan Hollow. Hasil dari posisi Top menunjukkan elektron dari atom Hidrogen digunakan mengikat Grafena dengan energi ikat sebesar -1.7 eV. Perubahan densitas muatan menunjukkan terjadinya perpindahan elektron menuju Grafena disertai transformasi isosurface yang unik untuk setiap posisi atom Hidrogen dengan perubahan terbesar terjadi pada posisi Top.  Kata kunci: Densitas muatan, Grafena, Adsorpsi, Teori Fungsi Kerapatan  Abstract [Title: The Simulation of Charge Density Diffrential for Hydrogen Atom - Graphene Adsorption with Density Functional Theory] Hydrogen atom adsorption on Graphene cause structural changes. This change affect Graphene charge density. In this simulation the position of Hydrogen atom on the surface of Graphene sheet are varied out, which is on the position directly above the Carbon atom (Top), the position on the middle between two Carbon atoms (Bridge), and the center position of the hexagonal structure (Hollow). The simulation is done by the Density Functional Theory method with a 2x2 size Graphene model. The results obtained showed that Hydrogen atom adsorption chose the Top position as the most balanced compared with the position of Bridge and Hollow. The results from the Top position indicate that electrons from Hydrogen atom are used to bind the Graphene with binding energy of -1.7 eV. The charge density differential indicate the occurrence of electron transfer towards Graphene accompanied by a transformation of the isosurface that are unique for each Hydrogen atom positions with the biggest change is shown in the Top position.  Keywords: Charge Density, Graphene, Adsorption, Density Functional Theory
