Garnet solid solutions have been synthesized across the skiagite-Fe-knorringite (Fe 3 2+ Fe 2 3+ Si 3 O 12 - Fe 3 Cr 2 Si 3 O 12 ) binary join. Such compositions reflect a simple Cr-Fe 3+ exchange on the octahedral sites, with Fe 2+ occupying the adjacent dodecahedral sites. Solid solution is complete across the join…

Hexagonal and preferentially oriented three-dimensional ZnO tripods have been grown on p-Si [100] substrates by a simple vapor-solid technique without using any catalysts. The tripodal-core growth route involves the formation of a hexagonal disk with [0002] larger surfaces. The tripods show irreversible shape transfor…

Rhodospirillum rubrum is among the bacteria that can assimilate acetate in the absence of isocitrate lyase, the key enzyme of glyoxylate shunt. Previously we have suggested the functioning of a new anaplerotic cycle of acetate assimilation in this bacterium: citramalate cycle, where acetyl-CoA is oxidized to glyoxylat…

Abstract Micron‐sized gold nanosheets were produced through thermolysis of a mixture composed of 1‐octa‐decanylimidazole (C 18 ‐im) and HAuCl 4 in a molar ratio of 4:1 at 200 °C for 1 h. Effects of the molar ratio of [ 18 ‐im]/[HAuCl 4 ], the reaction temperature, and the N‐alkylimidazole chain length were studied. Ad…

We studied the transport and magnetic properties of low-doped manganite films after different oxygenation processes. The oxygen content was adjusted by postdeposition annealing at different oxygen pressures and annealing times. For all the samples we observed an increase in the Curie temperature and the remnant magnet…

The surface tension coefficients of chalcogenide glasses are estimated. It is demonstrated that, to a first approximation, the results of the existing techniques for estimating the surface tension coefficients of chalcogenide glasses are in satisfactory agreement. The energies of formation of fluctuation microvoids in…

This paper focuses on the synthesis of gold nanorods by a seeding growth approach in the presence of cetylthrimethylammonium bromide as a weak reducing agent. The pH value of the solution is an important factor in the formation and control the morphology of gold nanorods. In the pH-dependent range from pH 3.3 to pH 2.…
