We have measured the electrical resistivity of NbSe3 between 2 K and room temperature up to a pressure of 7.2 GPa. At P1 = 3.5 GPa we observe the extinction of the high-temperature charge density wave (T1-CDW) and the enhancement of the superconducting critical temperature Tc to 5 K. The logarithmic pressure slopes of…

Computer simulations of hydrocarbon and related molecules using empirical force fields have become important tools for studying a number of biological and related processes at the atomic scale. Traditional force fields, however, cannot be used to simulate dynamic chemical reactivity that involves changes in atomic hyb…

Liquidus phase relationships have been investigated in the peraluminous system Qz (SiO 2 ) - Ab (NaAlSi 3 O 8 ) - Or (KAlSi 3 O 8 ) - Al 2 O 3 - H 2 O - CO 2 . The experiments have been performed at 2 kbar, 750 to 850°C and at H 2 O-undersaturated conditions (H 2 O-activity close to 0.5). An aluminosilicate phase (mul…

An unusually REE-rich piemontite was found near Colonnata on the northern slope of Monte Brugiana and La Rocchetta, Alpi Apuane, Italy. Quantitative chemical analyses show a total amount of rare earth elements ranging from 2.85 to 8.06 (oxides wt%) with lanthanum prevailing on the others. Structural data obtained on f…

The phase transition and compressibility of Mn 3 O 4 have been investigated at room temperature with X-ray diffraction diamond-anvil cell experiments up to 38.7 GPa. At pressures below 10 GPa a tetragonal phase is present, having the hausmannite structure, whereas at higher pressure the hausmannite phase transforms in…

The effects of simulated transport of calves for 150 min on plasma cortisol, NEFA, glucose, and calcium were evaluated. Both cortisol and NEFA reached maximal values within 30-60 min, with no further increases during the transportation. Changes in glucose and calcium were not significant. The results indicate that in…

Arsenic antisites in GaAs layers grown by molecular-beam epitaxy at low substrate temperatures (∼200 °C) were observed using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), magnetic circular dichroism in absorption (MCDA), and MCDA-detected EPR. This observation confirms that there is a MCDA band directly associated with arsen…

This is the third in a series of papers on the ab initio calculation of the third and fourth derivatives of the energy of a molecule. In this paper derivatives with respect to electric field components, as well as with respect to nuclear coordinates are considered. A knowledge of these derivatives yields, in particula…

Textured diamond films have been deposited on β-SiC via microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition preceded by an in situ bias pretreatment that enhances nucleation. Approximately 50% of the initial diamond nuclei appear to be aligned with the C(001) planes parallel to the SiC(001), and C[110] directions parallel to t…

The diffuseness of the ferroelectric phase transition in ${\mathrm{PbMg}}_{1/3}$${\mathrm{Nb}}_{2/3}$${\mathrm{O}}_{3}$ is proposed to be due to quenched random electric fields originating from charged compositional fluctuations. They are responsible for the extreme critical slowing down, the freezing into nanometric…

Phason-strained octagonal quasicrystal phases of Mo-Cr-Ni have been studied by electron diffraction and dark-field imaging. The shifting of some of the diffraction spots lowers the symmetry from eightfold to fourfold. Diffraction patterns of the orthogonal twofold axes show that the shifted spots are split along the f…

A procedure for the patterned synthesis of porous Si exhibiting visible luminescence is described. Anodic electrochemical etch of n- or p-type Si in ethanol/HF solution leads directly to porous Si that luminesces with λmax between 750 and 650 nm. Positive and negative patterns of luminescent porous Si are etched into…
