Plate shape NaZnPO4·H2O was synthesized by solid-state reaction at low temperature and characterized by X-Ray Diffraction, Scanning electron microscope and elemental analysis. Thermochemical study was performed with an isoperibol solution calorimeter. Based on Hess’s law, thermochemical cycl was designed to determine the dissolution enthalpies of reactants and products using a solution-reaction isoperibol calorimeter at 298.15 K, and the molar reaction enthalpy was calculated on the basis of above dissolution enthalpies. The results show that the obtained product is plate shape NaZnPO4·H2O. The standard molar formation enthalpy of the NaZnPO4·H2O is ΔfHm [NaZnPO4·H2O,s]= -1967.18 ± 0.69 kJ•mol-1.

AbstractThe direct reaction calorimetric method was used for the determination of the formation enthalpy of alloys which concentrations correspond to the: Ga7Li2, Ga9Li5, GaLi, Ga4Li5, Ga2Li3, and GaLi2intermetallic phases. The obtained experimental values of the formation enthalpy were: −18.1 ±0.8 kJ/mol at., −26.5 ±0.3 kJ/mol at., −34.7 ±0.3 kJ/mol at., −33.5 ±0.5 kJ/mol at., −32.8 ±0.3 kJ/mol at. and −24.6 ±1.4 kJ/mol at., respectively. After the calorimetric measurements, all the samples were checked by way of X-ray diffraction investigations to confirm the structure of the measured alloys. All the measured values of the formation enthalpy of the Ga-Li alloys were compared with literature data and the data calculated with use of the Miedema model.

Spherical[Ni0.5Mn0.3Co0.2](OH)2precursor with narrow size distribution and high tap density has been successfully synthesized by a continuous hydroxide coprecipitation, andLi[Ni0.5Mn0.3Co0.2]O2is then prepared by mixing the precursor with 6% excessLi2CO3followed by calcinations. The tap density of the obtainedLi[Ni0.5Mn0.3Co0.2]O2powder is as high as 2.61 g cm−3. The powders are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscope (SEM), particle size distribution (PSD), and charge/discharge cycling. The XRD studies show that the preparedLi[Ni0.5Mn0.3Co0.2]O2has a well-ordered layered structure without any impurity phases. Good packing properties of spherical secondary particles (about 12 μm) consisted of a large number of tiny-thin plate-shape primary particles (less than 1 μm), which can be identified from the SEM observations. In the voltage range of 3.0–4.3 V and 2.5–4.6 V,Li[Ni0.5Mn0.3Co0.2]O2delivers the initial discharge capacity of approximately 175 and 214 mAh g−1at a current density of 32 mA g−1, and the capacity retention after 50 cycles reaches 98.8% and 90.2%, respectively. Besides, it displays good high-temperature characteristics and excellent rate capability.

The solution calorimetric method was used for the measurement of the formation enthalpy of the binary FeTi and Fe2Ti intermetallic phases and of the FeNiTi2 phase from the region of the ternary B2 one. The FeNi and FeNiTi2 phases were prepared by levitation melting and the Fe2Ti phase - by melting the metals in a glove-box under high purity argon. The alloys obtained were identified by the X-ray diffraction analysis. The structural study of the alloys with the composition equal to the FeTi and Fe2Ti phase confirmed the mentioned phases mainly in the samples. In the case of the ternary alloy of the composition of the FeNiTi2 phase, a slight amount of iron was also found. The obtained values of the formation enthalpy equal as follows: -27.2±1.3 kJ/mole of atoms, -22.5±1.4 kJ/mole of atoms and -34.2±1.3 kJ/mole of atoms for the Fe2Ti, FeTi and FeNiTi2 phase, respectively.

Studies of the nature of a surface, either metallic or nonmetallic, in the past, have been limited to the instrumentation available for these measurements. In the past, optical microscopy, replica transmission electron microscopy, electron or X-ray diffraction and optical or X-ray spectroscopy have provided the means of surface characterization. Actually, some of these techniques are not purely surface; the depth of penetration may be a few thousands of an inch. Within the last five years, instrumentation has been made available which now makes it practical for use to study the outer few 100A of layers and characterize it completely from a chemical, physical, and crystallographic standpoint. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) provides a means of viewing the surface of a material in situ to magnifications as high as 250,000X.

The understanding of ribosome structure has advanced considerably in the last several years. Biochemists have characterized the constituent proteins and rRNA's of ribosomes. Complete sequences have been determined for some ribosomal proteins and specific antibodies have been prepared against all E. coli small subunit proteins. In addition, a number of naturally occuring systems of three dimensional ribosome crystals which are suitable for structural studies have been observed in eukaryotes. Although the crystals are, in general, too small for X-ray diffraction, their size is ideal for electron microscopy.

Scanning microscopy was used to study the surface of human gallstones and the surface of fractures. The specimens were obtained by operation, washed with water, dried at room temperature and shadowcasted with carbon and aluminum. Most of the specimens belong to patients from a series of X-ray follow-up study, examined during the last twenty years. So it was possible to evaluate approximately the age of these gallstones and to get information on the intensity of growing and solving.Cholesterol, a group of bile pigment substances and different salts of calcium, are the main components of human gallstones. By X-ray diffraction technique, infra-red spectroscopy and by chemical analysis it was demonstrated that all three components can be found in any gallstone. In the presence of water cholesterol crystallizes in pane-like plates of the triclinic crystal system.

Experimental clay mineral-organic molecule complexes long have been known and some of them have been extensively studied by X-ray diffraction methods. The organic molecules are adsorbed onto the surfaces of the clay minerals, or intercalated between the silicate layers. Natural organo-clays also are widely recognized but generally have not been well characterized. Widely used techniques for clay mineral identification involve treatment of the sample with H2 O2 or other oxidant to destroy any associated organics. This generally simplifies and intensifies the XRD pattern of the clay residue, but helps little with the characterization of the original organoclay. Adequate techniques for the direct observation of synthetic and naturally occurring organoclays are yet to be developed.

Uniaxial compression tests and hydrostatic tests at pressures up to 27 kbars have been performed to determine operating slip systems in single crystal and polycrystal1ine beryllium. A recent study has been made of wave propagation in single crystal beryllium by shock loading to selectively activate various slip systems, and this has been followed by a study of wave propagation and spallation in textured, polycrystal1ine beryllium. An alteration in the X-ray diffraction pattern has been noted after shock loading, but this alteration has not yet been correlated with any structural change occurring during shock loading of polycrystal1ine beryllium.This study is being conducted in an effort to characterize the effects of shock loading on textured, polycrystal1ine beryllium. Samples were fabricated from a billet of Kawecki-Berylco hot pressed HP-10 beryllium.

The Bacillus subtilis cell wall provides a protective sacculus about the vital constituents of the bacterium and consists of a collection of anionic hetero- and homopolymers which are mainly polysaccharidic. We recently demonstrated that unfixed walls were able to trap and retain substantial amounts of metal when suspended in aqueous metal salt solutions. These walls were briefly mixed with low concentration metal solutions (5mM for 10 min at 22°C), were well washed with deionized distilled water, and the quantity of metal uptake (atomic absorption and X-ray fluorescence), the type of staining response (electron scattering profile of thin-sections), and the crystallinity of the deposition product (X-ray diffraction of embedded specimens) determined.Since most biological material possesses little electron scattering ability electron microscopists have been forced to depend on heavy metal impregnation of the specimen before obtaining thin-section data. Our experience with these walls suggested that they may provide a suitable model system with which to study the sites of reaction for this metal deposition.
