This document summarizes research on the structural and morphological properties of chromium oxide (Cr2O3) nanoparticles synthesized using a novel solvent-free method. Cr2O3 nanoparticles were synthesized via microwave irradiation of chromium chloride and urea at different molar ratios and calcined at temperatures from 200-800属C. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and thermal analysis were used to characterize the nanoparticles. The results showed improved crystallinity with increasing calcination temperature and particle sizes ranging from 33-62 nm. The synthesized Cr2O3 nanoparticles have potential applications in fields such as catalysis and wear resistance.
This document summarizes the fabrication of patterned ferromagnetic shape memory thin films. It discusses two routes for micropatterning Ni-Mn-Ga thin films using self-assembled polystyrene spheres and reactive ion etching. Route 1 uses a Si sacrificial layer deposited at 500属C, while Route 2 produces arrays of Ni-Mn-Ga antidots at room temperature followed by annealing at 500属C. Characterization shows the patterned films via Route 2 exhibit ferromagnetism up to 100属C and a spread martensitic transformation, demonstrating their functional properties. Route 1 showed promise but requires further optimization.
This document examines the effect of synthesis conditions on the growth of ZnO nanorods via a hydrothermal method. It finds that the morphology and ordering of ZnO nanorods are determined by growth temperature, the overall concentration of precursors, and deposition time. ZnO nanorod morphology and surface-to-volume ratio are most sensitive to temperature. The width of ZnO nanorods can be controlled by the overall concentration of reactants and temperature. Different temperatures resulted in nanorods of varying diameters and lengths, demonstrating the influence of chemical reactions, nucleation, and growth processes on nanorod morphology.
This document discusses using functional nanoporous materials for heavy metal sequestration. It describes Self-Assembled Monolayers on Mesoporous Supports (SAMMS) which use high surface area nanoporous substrates coated with tailored organic monolayers for selectively binding heavy metals and radionuclides.

Solid state reaction method was used to synthesize Ba1-xSrx(Fe0.5Ta0.5)O3 ceramic(x=0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5). The raw materials of making Sr doped Ba(Fe0.5Ta0.5)O3 were BaCO3, SrCO3, Fe2O3, Ta2O5 (purity better than 99%). Pellet and ring shaped samples prepared from each composition were sintered at 1400 and 1450尊C for 5 hour. The phase formation of Ba1-xSrx(Fe0.5Ta0.5)O3 was checked using X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique and observed a cubic perovskite crystal structure in space group Pm3m (221). Microstructure of the individual compound was examined by the field emission scanning electron micrograph (FESEM). Grain size was found to be varied with Sr content. The lattice parameter decreased with increasing Sr content. Dielectric spectroscopy was applied to investigate the electrical properties of BSFT at room temperature and in a frequency range of 100Hz100 MHz. An analysis of the dielectric constant 竜聞 and loss tangent tan with frequency was performed assuming a distribution of relaxation times. The low frequency dielectric dispersion corresponds to the DC electrical conductivity.

This document discusses the sol-gel synthesis and characterization of Titania-Zirconia matrices doped with rare earth ions and CdS. Chapter 1 provides a general introduction to sol-gel processing and its advantages. Chapter 2 discusses the spectroscopy of Tb3+ and Eu3+ ions in the Titania-Zirconia matrix. Chapter 3 details the structural and optical characterization of CdS/Tb3+/Eu3+ doped Titania-Zirconia matrices prepared via sol-gel processing. Various characterization techniques were used to analyze the materials' structure, composition, and optical properties.
This document discusses a study investigating the irradiation performance of high entropy alloys (HEAs) for nuclear reactor applications. Researchers fabricated single-phase FCC and BCC HEAs and conducted in situ ion irradiation experiments coupled with transmission electron microscopy. Preliminary results found lower defect cluster densities in the HEAs compared to less complex reference materials after irradiation at 50K. However, the effect on defect mobility was unclear as one FCC HEA showed faster loop growth than another at 773K. Overall compositional complexity in HEAs may reduce defect accumulation but also influence kinetics in complex ways depending on composition. High-throughput methods are needed to better understand irradiation effects across many HEA compositions.

Abstract
This work is a continuation of the systematic study of unsymmetrical electrolytes in non-aqueous media, carried out at the Department of Inorganic Chemistry of V.N. Karazin Kharkiv National University [1].
Here we report the results of the conductometric study of diluted solutions of Cu(BF4)2, Zn(BF4)2 and Co(BF4)2 in acetonitrile (AN) at 5-55 oC. The extended Lee-Wheaton equation was used to procced conductometric data and obtain primary association constants, limiting equivalent conductance of electrolytes and limiting ionic conductivities. The primary association constants were then used to interpret the contribution of the ionic solvation and association in terms of contact ionic pairs, solvent-separated ionic pairs and short-range non-Coulomb interionic potential.
Obtained values of total limiting equivalent conductivity of electrolyte and the limiting conventional transference numbers allowed us to divide the equivalent conductivity on ionic constituents. These data were later proceeded to evaluate the parameter of dynamics of ionic solvation, within the modified theory of the dielectric friction.
Additionally, densimetric study was carried out to derive structural parameters of ion solvation of Cu(BF4)2, Zn(BF4)2 and Co(BF4)2 in AN at 5-55 oC.
Finally, molecular dynamics simulations were performed on the same electrolyte/AN systems by means of MDNAES package [2] to elucidate particle dynamics and microscopic structure within the first and second co-ordination shells of copper (II), cobalt (II) and zinc (II) cations in AN at 25 属C.

This document summarizes research on the temperature-dependent electrical properties of aluminum oxide (Al2O3)-passivated multilayer molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) thin-film transistors (TFTs). The researchers deposited a uniform Al2O3 layer on MoS2 TFTs using atomic layer deposition after ultraviolet-ozone treatment. The Al2O3 passivation dramatically reduced hysteresis and enhanced current in the transistors. Electrical measurements from room temperature to 380 K showed that carrier mobility increased with temperature in the passivated transistors. Analysis of the data using the Y-function method excluded contact resistance to examine the intrinsic mobility of the MoS2 channel at different temperatures.

In the present work, ferromagnetic Ni is slightly substituted for diamagnetic Mg spinal ferrites. The effect of Ni doping on the structural and magnetic properties of ferrites material in the form of NixMg1-xFe2O4 (x = 0.1,0.15,0.2,0.25, .0.3,0.35) has been the study. The Sol-gel auto Combustion method used to combine these substances uses urea as fuel. Sintered samples were shown using X-ray diffraction, Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and a vibrating magnetometer sample. X-ray diffraction revealed that all the composite samples were pure cubic spinel arrays with a Fd3m space band and a permanent lattice that varied with Ni concentrations. the distribution of Ni2 + ions and Mg2+ ions in spinel ferrites indicates various changes in parameters such as tetrahedral ionic radius (rA), octahedral ionic radius (rB), hopping length (LA and LB). Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) simulations showed wire vibration at the tetrahedral site and Octahedral site. spinel ferrites M-H curves are recorded at room temperature indicating normal hysteresis loop indicating the magnetic field.

This presentation describes the thermal barrier coating process, its anatomy, types, material selection, failure, and characterization. Thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) were introduced to protect the external surface of gas turbine engine components from thermal resistance and thereby decrease the temperature of the metal surfaces. Yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) is one of the most popular and widely used TBC materials as it provides the best performance in high-temperature zones such as diesel engines and gas turbines. The columnar microstructure of YSZ coating provides excellent strain tolerance and adhesion to the coating. Gas turbines are used to power aircraft, trains, ships, electrical generators, pumps, gas compressors, and tanks.

Paramagnetism arises from unpaired electrons in coordination compounds. Each unpaired electron contributes a magnetic moment due to both its spin and orbital angular momentum. When an external magnetic field is applied, the magnetic moments of paramagnetic compounds can align, causing the compound to become temporarily magnetic. The magnetic susceptibility and magnetization of paramagnetic compounds increases with applied field strength and decreases with increasing temperature according to Curie's law. Some transition metal complexes can switch between low-spin and high-spin electronic configurations in response to temperature changes, altering their magnetic properties.

The Solar Systems passage through the Radcliffe wave during the middle MioceneS辿rgio Sacani
油
As the Solar System orbits the Milky Way, it encounters various Galactic environments, including dense regions of the
interstellar medium (ISM). These encounters can compress the heliosphere, exposing parts of the Solar System to the ISM, while also
increasing the influx of interstellar dust into the Solar System and Earths atmosphere. The discovery of new Galactic structures, such
as the Radcliffe wave, raises the question of whether the Sun has encountered any of them.
Aims. The present study investigates the potential passage of the Solar System through the Radcliffe wave gas structure over the past
30 million years (Myr).
Methods. We used a sample of 56 high-quality, young (30 Myr) open clusters associated with a region of interest of the Radcliffe
wave to trace its motion back and investigate a potential crossing with the Solar Systems past orbit.
Results. We find that the Solar Systems trajectory intersected the Radcliffe wave in the Orion region. We have constrained the timing
of this event to between 18.2 and 11.5 Myr ago, with the closest approach occurring between 14.8 and 12.4 Myr ago. Notably, this
period coincides with the Middle Miocene climate transition on Earth, providing an interdisciplinary link with paleoclimatology. The
potential impact of the crossing of the Radcliffe wave on the climate on Earth is estimated. This crossing could also lead to anomalies
in radionuclide abundances, which is an important research topic in the field of geology and nuclear astrophysics.
Variation and Natural Selection | IGCSE BiologyBlessing Ndazie

This extensive slide deck provides a detailed exploration of variation and natural selection for IGCSE Biology. It covers key concepts such as genetic and environmental variation, types of variation (continuous and discontinuous), mutation, evolution, and the principles of natural selection. The presentation also explains Darwins theory of evolution, adaptation, survival of the fittest, selective breeding, antibiotic resistance in bacteria, and speciation. With illustrative diagrams, real-life examples, and exam-style questions, this resource is ideal for IGCSE students, teachers, and independent learners preparing for exams.

Sonication results in weakening
the intensity of the peaks (losing
the crystalline ordering).
