The F-type centres in YAG crystals
2001
The comparative study of optical properties of thermochemically reduced undoped YAG (Y3Al5O12) crystals is reported. A particular type of the centres often observed in YAG crystals synthesized as w...
Optically detected magnetic resonance studied via the blue luminescence of Ti-doped
1998
The UV-excited blue and green luminescence bands of Ti:sapphire are characterized by ODMR. These emission bands are attributed to two centres, which show very similar properties and are created as a result of a charge-transfer transition of an electron from to ions. In both centres, the d electron of and the hole of are strongly coupled and form triplet states. Doublet systems can be ruled out as sources of the blue-green luminescence. The angular dependence of the ODMR can be explained with an appropriate spin Hamiltonian assuming orthorhombic local symmetry. The orientation of the principal axes of the g-tensor and the crystal-field tensor, found for both centres, suggest that the hole is…
Influence of melt flow and temperature on erosion of refractory and deposit formation in aluminium melting furnaces
2002
The deposition and erosion mechanism in induction-channel furnace for Al melting in alumino-silicate refractory is considered. The possibility of simultaneous erosion and deposition in the same cross-section of the channel is shown. The chemical reaction model causing the erosion of refractory is proposed. The erosion process is described by chemically active aluminium oxides while the deposition is caused by chemically stable aluminium oxides. The variations of erosion and deposition in the same cross-section of the channel are explained by variation of the thickness of laminar sub-layer along the perimeter.
Reaktionen an Aluminiumoxiden. 5. Mitt.: Umsetzungen von Cyclohexanon an Aluminiumoxid
1974
Die Umsetzungen von Cyclohexanon (1) an verschiedenen Aluminiumoxiden wurden bei unterschiedlichen Bedingungen untersucht. Die dabei entstandenen Stoffe wurden durch Vergleichssubstanzen mit Hilfe der DC und GC nachgewiesen. Reactions on Aluminium Oxides The reactions of cyclohexanone (1) on various aluminium oxides were investigated under different conditions. The resulting products were identified using synthesized compounds by aid of TLC and GLC.
Properties of native ultrathin aluminium oxide tunnel barriers
2003
We have investigated planar metal–insulator–metal tunnel junctions with aluminium oxide as the dielectricum. These oxide barriers were grown on an aluminium electrode in pure oxygen at room temperature till saturation. By applying the Simmons model we derived discrete widths of the tunnelling barrier, separated by Δs ≈ 0.38 nm. This corresponds to the addition of single layers of oxygen atoms. The minimum thickness of s0 ≈ 0.54 nm is then due to a double layer of oxygen. We found a strong and systematic dependence of the barrier height on the barrier thickness. Breakdown fields up to 5 GV m−1 were reached. They decreased strongly with increasing barrier thickness. Electrical breakdown could…
Cu–Cu interactions in the transparent p-type conductors: CuAlO2 and SrCu2O2
2003
Abstract Electronic structures of the p-type Transparent Conducting Oxides (TCO): CuAlO2 and SrCu2O2 are calculated using the Tight Binding Linearized Muffin Tin Orbital within the Atomic Sphere Approximation method (TB-LMTO-ASA). The band structures indicate two gaps for CuAlO2 (an indirect one with ΔE≈0.45 eV and a direct one with ΔE≈1.25 eV) and one direct gap for SrCu2O2 (with ΔE≈2 eV). In both oxides the Cu states are dominant at the top of the valence band, close to the Fermi level and the existence of weak Cu–Cu bonding interactions is revealed through the Integrated Crystal Orbital Hamiltonian Population (ICOHP). The presence of such interactions suggests that for the hole doped oxi…
New chiral α-aminophosphine oxides and sulfides: an unprecedented rhodium-catalyzed ligand epimerization
2001
International audience; New chiral α-aminophosphine oxide N,P(O) and sulfide N,P(S) ligands have been prepared in one-pot syntheses by addition of Ph2PH to (S)-PhCH[double bond, length half m-dash]NCH(Ph)CH3, followed by oxidation with O2 or S8. Crystallization from cold methanol leads to the isolation of an enantiomerically pure single N,P(O) diastereomer and to a 1 : 1 mixture of the two N,P(S) diastereomers. The coordination chemistry of these ligands with [RhCl(COD)]2 and [RhCl(CO)2]2 has been investigated under argon and syngas. At high temperatures, a P–C oxidative addition of the N,P(O) ligand followed by imine elimination leads to several hydrido rhodium species. The complexes conta…
Spectrophotometric determination of promazine with an oxidative column in FIA manifolds
1992
Abstract A simple flow-injection spectrophotometric method for the determination of promazine is described. The two proposed procedures are based on the oxidation of analyte with a manganese dioxide column. Concentrations of promazine in the ranges 2–20 and 1–6 are determined with a relative standard deviation of 1.0%. The injection rates are 62 and 80 samples h −1 , respectively. The influence of foreign species and the determination of promazine in a pharmaceutical formulation are also reported.
Protection by extra virgin olive oil against oxidative stress in vitro and in vivo. Chemical and biological studies on the health benefits due to a m…
2017
Abstract We report the results of in vivo studies in Caenorhabditis elegans nematodes in which addition of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) to their diet significantly increased their life span with respect to the control group. Furthermore, when nematodes were exposed to the pesticide paraquat, they started to die after two days, but after the addition of EVOO to their diet, both survival percentage and lifespans of paraquat-exposed nematodes increased. Since paraquat is associated with superoxide radical production, a test for scavenging this radical was performed using cyclovoltammetry and the EVOO efficiently scavenged the superoxide. Thus, a linear correlation (y = -0.0838x +19.73, regres…
Synthesis and antioxidant evaluation of novel silybin analogues
2006
In this work, we evaluated the antioxidant properties of the eight novel silybin analogues for their capacity to scavenge free radicals including superoxide anion radicals and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radicals in vitro. Compound 7d demonstrated an excellent antioxidant effect in scavenging superoxide anion free radical with an IC50 value of 26.5 microM, while the IC50 of quercetin (the reference compound) was 38.1 microM. Compounds 7b, 7e, 7h showed certain scavenging activities for both types of free radicals.
