The method of temperature-resolved powder X-ray diffraction (TRPXRD) was used to determine the elevated temperature behavior of L-aspartic acid (L-asp), DL-aspartic acid (DL-asp), L-glutamic acid (L-glu), and an L-asp0.25,L-glu0.75 solid solution. These amino acids were not found to undergo any solid-phase (polymorph) transformations. When heated, they all experienced only thermal deformations. The corresponding parameters of the monoclinic cells of L-asp and DL-asp, and the orthorhombic cells of L-glu and L-asp0.25,L-glu0.75, were calculated for the entire range of studied temperatures (up to 220 °C). The data obtained were used to calculate the parameters of the thermal deformation tensors, and to plot the figures of their thermal expansion coefficients. A correlation between the maximum and minimum values of thermal expansion coefficients and the length, type, direction, and number of hydrogen bonds in the crystal structures of the investigated amino acids was established. The observed negative thermal expansion (contraction) of crystal structures of L-asp and DL-asp along the ac plane can be explained as a result of shear deformations occurring in monoclinic crystals with a non-fixed angle β. The studies were related to the presence of amino acids in various natural and technological processes occurring at different temperatures.

Compounds Yb2Mo3O12 and Lu2Mo3O12 were prepared by conventional solid-state reaction. Their crystal structures and thermal expansion properties were investigated. It was found that Yb2Mo3O12 and Lu2Mo3O12 adopt orthorhombic structure and show negative thermal expansion (NTE) in the temperature range of 200-800 °C. Their a-axis and c-axis exhibit stronger contraction in the temperature range of 200-800 °C, while b-axis slightly expands in the temperature range of 200-300 °C and then contracts in the temperature range of 300-800 °C. The linear thermal expansion coefficients al of Yb2Mo3O12 and Lu2Mo3O12 are −5.17 × 10−6 °C−1 and −5.67 × 10−6 °C−1, respectively.

AbstractThe thermal expansion coefficient is an important thermal parameter that influences the performance of nanodevices based on two-dimensional materials. To obtain the thermal expansion coefficient of few-layer MoS2, suspended MoS2 and supported MoS2 were systematically investigated using Raman spectroscopy in the temperature range from 77 to 557 K. The temperature-dependent evolution of the Raman frequency shift for suspended MoS2 exhibited prominent differences from that for supported MoS2, obviously demonstrating the effect due to the thermal expansion coefficient mismatch between MoS2 and the substrate. The intrinsic thermal expansion coefficients of MoS2 with different numbers of layers were calculated. Interestingly, negative thermal expansion coefficients were obtained below 175 K, which was attributed to the bending vibrations in the MoS2 layer during cooling. Our results demonstrate that Raman spectroscopy is a feasible tool for investigating the thermal properties of few-layer MoS2 and will provide useful information for its further application in photoelectronic devices.

In this paper, we demonstrate how the principles of the freedom, actuation, and constraint topologies (FACT) approach may be applied to the synthesis, analysis, and optimization of microstructural architectures that possess extreme or unusual thermal expansion properties (e.g., zero or large negative-thermal expansion coefficients). FACT provides designers with a comprehensive library of geometric shapes, which may be used to visualize the regions wherein various microstructural elements can be placed for achieving desired bulk material properties. In this way, designers can rapidly consider and compare a multiplicity of microstructural concepts that satisfy the desired design requirements before selecting the final concept. A complementary analytical tool is also provided to help designers rapidly calculate and optimize the desired thermal properties of the microstructural concepts that are generated using FACT. As a case study, this tool is used to calculate the negative-thermal expansion coefficient of a microstructural architecture synthesized using FACT. The result of this calculation is verified using a finite element analysis (FEA) package called ale3d.

We present theoretical expressions relating the cohesive energy to the bulk modulus, the force constant and the lattice constant applicable to solids with a variety of crystal structures. We have found that the cohesive energy is directly proportional to the ratio between the product of the bulk modulus through the atomic volume and the exponent of the repulsion term. We have defined a figure of merit for materials as the ratio between the product of the bulk modulus through the atomic volume and the cohesive energy. The reciprocal of this ratio is a measure of the hardness of materials. Likewise, we have found the expressions for anharmonicity and thermal expansion coefficients, which can explain, also, their possible negative values.

This work describes the direct coupling of the in-tube solid-phase microextraction (in-tube SPME) technique to a tandem mass spectrometry system (MS/MS) to determine amino acids (AA) and neurotransmitters (NT) (alanine, serine, isoleucine, leucine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, lysine, methionine, tyrosine, and tryptophan) in plasma samples from schizophrenic patients. An innovative organic-silica hybrid monolithic capillary with bifunctional groups (amino and cyano) was developed and evaluated as an extraction device for in-tube SPME. The morphological and structural aspects of the monolithic phase were evaluated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), nitrogen sorption experiments, X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses, and adsorption experiments. In-tube SPME-MS/MS conditions were established to remove matrix, enrich analytes (monolithic capillary) and improve the sensitivity of the MS/MS system. The proposed method was linear from 45 to 360 ng mL−1 for alanine, from 15 to 300 ng mL−1 for leucine and isoleucine, from 12 to 102 ng mL−1 for methionine, from 10 to 102 ng mL−1 for tyrosine, from 9 to 96 ng mL−1 for tryptophan, from 12 to 210 ng mL−1 for serine, from 12 to 90 ng mL−1 for glutamic acid, from 12 to 102 ng mL−1 for lysine, and from 6 to 36 ng mL−1 for aspartic acid. The precision of intra-assays and inter-assays presented CV values ranged from 1.6% to 14.0%. The accuracy of intra-assays and inter-assays presented RSE values from −11.0% to 13.8%, with the exception of the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) values. The in-tube SPME-MS/MS method was successfully applied to determine the target AA and NT in plasma samples from schizophrenic patients.

In this work, a series of ZrO 2/ ZrW 2 O 8 ceramic composites with different amounts of ZrW 2 O 8 were successfully prepared by calcining the precursors synthesized using co-precipitation route at 1150°C for 3 h. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) data confirmed that the composites only consisted of α- ZrW 2 O 8 phase and m - ZrO 2 phase. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis of the synthesized ZrO 2/ ZrW 2 O 8 composites showed that the specimens had good mixed-uniformities. In addition, the thermal expansion coefficients of the composites decreased with increased amounts of negative thermal expansion ZrW 2 O 8, specimen with 26wt% ZrW 2 O 8 shows almost zero thermal expansion and its average thermal expansion coefficient is -0.5897×10-6K-1 in the temperature range from 30°C to 600°C.

The anti-perovskite structured Mn3XN(X=Cu,Al,Ag,Zn,Ga,Sn,In) have wide perspective and practicability with unique advantages compared with other materials as a new negative thermal expansion (NTE) material. Because of its simple preparation and unique properties of NTE, this kind of compounds aroused scientists’ attention. The metallic nitrides Mn3Zn1-xSnxN (x=0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5) were prepared by solid-state sintering. The anti-perovskite compound Mn3Zn1-xSnxN has a cubic crystal structure with space group Pm3m. It shows that Zn element is partial replaced by Sn element. The Sn doping in Mn3Zn1-xSnxN compound can cause the thermal expansion behavior of the compound to change between positive and negative by analyzing the curve of thermal expansivity with the temperature. Mn3Zn0.7Sn0.3N shows a very strong NTE. Its negative thermal expansion coefficients were -4.39×10-4/K from 345.4 °C to 476.2 °C. In addition, the variation of the thermal expansion curve for Mn3Zn0.8Sn0.2N is almost negligible with the increasing of temperature to 600 °C, exhibiting nearly zero thermal expansion behavior. Therefore, the thermal expansion of Mn3Zn1-xSnxN could be tuned via different contents of Sn in Mn3ZnN.
