Comparative Theoretical Analysis of BN Nanotubes Doped with Al, P, Ga, As, In, and Sb
2013
SUMMARY AND CONCLUDING REMARKS We have performed large-scale first-principles calculations ofthe electronic structure of (5,5) boron nitride nanotubescontaining the following substitutional impurity atoms: Al, P,Ga, As, In, and Sb. Calculations have been performed using thetwo methods: (i) linear combination of atomic orbitals(LCAO) with the atomic-centered Gaussian-type functions asa basis set and (ii) linearized augmented cylindrical wave(LACW) accompanied with the local density functional andmuffin-tin approximations for the electronic potential. In arelatively good qualitative agreement, both methods predict lowformation energies and, thus, relative stability of point defectsthat are assoc…
RBS and ERD cross-sections and optical model parameters for the analysis of lithium, boron and nickel
2000
Abstract Elastic scattering cross-sections for RBS analysis of nickel by 7 Li and 11 B ion backscattering near the Coulomb barrier have been determined. The lithium ion measurements were performed in the energy range of 8–15 MeV at the laboratory angles of 115° and 135°. For boron ions the energies between 14 and 24 MeV and scattering angles of 89°, 110° and 130° were used. For the analysis of lithium and boron by ERD the scattering cross-sections have been calculated by kinematically reversing the backscattering process. The calculated 58 Ni ion energies thus varied between 65 and 125 MeV for lithium and between 75 and 130 MeV for boron recoils. For the Li + Ni and B + Ni systems the thres…
XUV diagnostic to monitor H-like emission from B, C, N, and O for the W7-X stellarator
2019
The “C/O Monitor” system for the Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X) stellarator is a dedicated spectrometer with high throughput and high time resolution (order of 1 ms) for fast monitoring of content of low-Z impurities in the plasma. The observed spectral lines are fixed to Lyman-α lines of H-like atoms of carbon (3.4 nm), oxygen (1.9 nm), nitrogen (2.5 nm), and boron (4.9 nm). The quality of the wall condition will be monitored by the measurements of oxygen being released from the walls during the experiments. The strong presence of carbon is an indication for enhanced plasma-wall interaction or overload of plasma facing components. The presence of nitrogen (together with oxygen) may indicate a poss…
Electrochemical instability of highly fluorinated tetraphenyl borates and syntheses of their respective biphenyls
2018
Highly fluorinated tetraphenyl borate anions are of importance as weakly coordinating anions in metalorganic reactions. However, at high positive potentials their electrochemical stability in organic solvents is not sufficient. This was investigated by a comprehensive cyclic voltammetry study and can be used synthetically to generate highly fluorinated biphenyls.
Tuning the Electronic Properties of the Dative N-B Bond with Associated O-B Interaction: Electron Localizability Indicator from X-Ray Wavefunction Re…
2016
Despite the immense growth in interest in difluoroborate dyes, the nature of the interactions of the boron atom within the N-BF2 -O kernel is not yet fully understood. Herein, a set of real-space bonding indicators is used to quantify the electronic characteristics of the dative N-B bond in difluoroborate derivatives. The atoms-in-molecules (AIM) partitioning scheme is complemented by the electron localizability indicator (ELI-D) approach, and both were applied to experimental and theoretical electron-density distributions (X-ray constrained wavefunction fitting vs. DFT calculations). Additionally, Fermi orbital analysis was introduced for small DFT models to support and extend the findings…
Sequential Nucleophilic−Electrophilic Reactions Selectively Produce Isomerically Pure Nona‐ B ‐Substituted o ‐Carborane Derivatives
2003
Nine equal substituents on the intensively studied o-carborane have been obtained for the first time by a combined nucleophilic-electrophilic reaction sequence. Iodine and methyl groups have been introduced to prove the generality of the method. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2003)
Oxotris(oxalate)niobate(V): An oxalate delivery agent in the design of building blocks
2018
This work concerns the oxalate delivery process that occurs when using (NH4)3[NbO(C2O4)3]·6H2O as a suitable oxalate source in the synthesis of two compounds, [Cu(dmphen)(C2O4)(H2O)] (1) and [{Cu(dmphen)(CH3OH)}2(μ-C2O4)](ClO4)2 (2) (dmphen = 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline). {[Fe{HB(pz)3}(CN)2(μ-CN)]2[{Cu(dmphen)}2(μ-C2O4)]}∙xCH3OH (3) (2.0 ≤ x ≤ 2.4) was obtained by reacting 2 and PPh4[Fe{HB(pz)3}(CN)3]∙H2O [ = tetraphenylphosphonium and = tris(pyrazolyl)borate]. Crystal structures of 1–3 have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction experiments: 1 is a mononuclear trigonal bipyramidal copper(II) species, 2 is a centrosymmetric oxalato-bridged dicopper(II) complex, and 3 consi…

Leaf starch and nutrient responses to stem girdling and drought stress with respect to understanding HLB (greening) symptoms in citrus
2016
The most important problem in world citrus production is the bacterial disease Huanglongbing (HLB; greening) which is caused by a phloem-limited bacterium that is vectored by a phloem-feeding psyllid. The earliest visible symptoms of HLB in leaves are an asymmetrical chlorosis referred to as "blotchy mottle", thought to be from starch accumulation from a phloem dysfunction and a decline in root health. We tested the hypothesis that such visible symptoms are not unique to HLB by stemgirdling two year-old seedling trees of 'Cleopatra' mandarin and 'Swingle' citrumelo rootstocks in the greenhouse. Girdling induced a 4-fold greater starch concentration in leaves on well-watered trees while star…
