(Me3Sn)2SbSb(SnMe3)2, 1∞-verknüpfte SbSb-Hanteln in einem thermochromen Distiban mit Schweratomgerüst
1987
Abstract Single crystals of the thermochromic distibane (Me 3 Sn) 4 Sb 2 ( 1 ) are obtained by irradiation of (Me 3 Sn) 3 Sb with sunlight. The crystal structure of 1 is reported as linear chains of distibane molecules in trans conformation with Sb ⋯ Sb contacts of 389 ppm. Diffuse reflexion spectra of 1 in the solid state and in solution demonstrate thermochromic effect. The Raman spectrum of solid 1 exhibits strong absorption at 162 cm −1 for ν(Sb 2 ).
Influence of crystallinity and OH surface density on the photocatalytic activity of TiO2 powders
2014
Abstract The aim of the work was to study the influence of crystallinity and OH surface density on the photocatalytic activity of two commercial and two home-prepared TiO 2 powders. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TG) and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) measurements. The photoactivity of the powders was tested employing the photodegradation of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) and the selective oxidation of 4-methoxybenzyl alcohol (4-MBA) to 4-methoxybenzaldehyde ( p -anisaldehyde) under UV irradiation. An anti-correlation between oxidant power and selectivity of the various samples was found. A higher rate of 4-NP degradation was exhibited by…
An Approach on the Hydrogen Absorption in Carbon Black after Gamma Irradiation
2013
In this work, different samples of an industrial carbon black are used to study the hydrogen intake from an over pres-surized atmosphere and its changes due to alteration of its level of crystallinity produced by ¿-irradiation. The monitor-ing of the hydrogen adsorption was made by means of thermogravimetric analysis and by measurements of some elec-trical parameters as the Seebeck coefficient. X-ray diffraction shows that the irradiation diminishes the level of crystal-line perfection. These results show interesting possibilities to use carbon black as cheap hydrogen absorbers.
Computer simulation of ferroelectric property changes in PLZT ceramics under neutron irradiation
2001
The response of ferroelectric materials to high energy irradiation is of great interest because of their possible application in radiation environments such as thermonuclear reactors. In the present work a physical model for the defect evolution in PLZT ceramics under neutron irradiation and annealing is proposed. The influence of the defect system on the ferroelectric properties of these materials has been investigated. Satisfactory agreement between the theoretical estimated oxygen defect concentration after irradiation and annealing and the experimentally determined polarization has been obtained.
Available evidence on re-irradiation with stereotactic ablative radiotherapy following high-dose previous thoracic radiotherapy for lung malignancies
2015
Patients affected with intra-thoracic recurrences of primary or secondary lung malignancies after a first course of definitive radiotherapy have limited therapeutic options, and they are often treated with a palliative intent. Re-irradiation with stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) represents an appealing approach, due to the optimized dose distribution that allows for high-dose delivery with better sparing of organs at risk. This strategy has the goal of long-term control and even cure. Aim of this review is to report and discuss published data on re-irradiation with SABR in terms of efficacy and toxicity. Results indicate that thoracic re-irradiation may offer satisfactory disease c…
Efficient H2 production by photocatalytic water splitting under UV or solar light over variously modified TiO2-based catalysts
2019
Abstract This paper focused for the first time on the comparison between three different approach to modify the chemico-physical properties of TiO2-based photocatalysts and their effect in the H2 production by photocatalytic water splitting both under UV and solar light irradiation, under the same experimental conditions. The application of pulsed laser irradiation to aqueous TiO2 suspensions (first approach) induced structural transformations both on the bulk and on the surface of TiO2, boosting the H2 production, under UV light irradiation, of almost three times (20.9 mmol/gcat·h) compared to bare TiO2 (7.7 mmol/gcat·h). The second strategy was based on a templating method to obtain TiO2 …
Optical Properties of Irradiated Topaz Crystals
2015
The results of an investigation of UV-Visible absorption and photoluminescence spectra of colorless topaz before and after neutron irradiation, natural blue topaz from Ukraine, and yellow topaz are presented. We assume that the absorption band ~ 620 nm and broad emission band 300-700 nm in topaz crystals are associated with exchange interaction between a radiation defect (anion vacancies, which capture one or two electrons) and impurity ions Cr 3+ , Fe 3+ and Mn 2+ .
�ber den 3,5-Tage-Effekt bei der R�ntgenbestrahlung von H�hnerembryonen
1962
In order to observe the development and vitality of chicken embryos before and after irradiation without halting the growth, the eggs were provided with plate glass windows. The results showed that at irradiation doses of 800 to 2400 r, the survival of the 13-somite stage embryos drops abruptly from 98 to 6%. These results had good reproducibility. This sharp decrease in the percentage survival corresponds to the 3.5-day effect in mice. In addition to the reduced survival, a dose-dependent retardation of the morphological development was also observed. (J.S.R.)
Synthesis of Dirhodium(II) Complexes with Several Cyclometalated Thienylphosphines
2006
The thermal reaction of dirhodium tetraacetate with tris(3-thienyl)phosphine (3TP), diphenyl(3-thienyl)phosphine (3TPPh2), and diphenyl(2-thienyl)phosphine (2TPPh2) gives rise to mono-cyclometalated and bis-cyclometalated compounds; the latter can have a head-to-head (H−H) or head-to-tail (H−T) configuration. Bis-cyclometalated compounds with H−T configuration can be prepared in high yield under photochemical conditions or by combining irradiation with subsequent thermal treatment in acetic acid. The reactivity order of aromatic ring C−H activation is phenyl < 2-thienyl ≪ 3-thienyl, which leads to a selective activation of the thienyl ring. Thus, only one mono-cyclometalated compound is obt…
