Pressure measurements of TO-phonon anharmonicity in isotopic ZnS
2004
We have measured the dependence on pressure of the line-widths of the TO and LO Raman phonons of β-ZnS. In order to enhance the phenomena observed, and to eliminate possible effects of isotopic disorder, we have measured a nearly isotopically pure crystal, 68 Zn 32 S. The strongly structured pressure effects observed are interpreted on the basis of anharmonic decay and the corresponding two-phonon density of states.
Transport measurements in InSe under high pressure and high temperature: shallow-to-deep donor transformation of Sn related donor impurities
2003
We have investigated the temperature dependence of the transport parameters of Sn-doped InSe at different pressures, up to 2.5 GPa. A noticeable change in the temperature dependence of all the transport parameters has been observed above 1.2 GPa. This fact is explained by assuming the transformation of Sn shallow donors into deep donors at a hydrostatic pressure of 1.1 GPa, and by taking into account the transfer of electrons from the absolute minimum to higher energy minima in the conduction band. At ambient pressure, the position of the Sn deep level is estimated to lie 75 ± 20 meV above the absolute conduction-band minimum.
Vibrational properties of ZnTe at high pressures
2002
Raman spectra of ZnTe were measured under hydrostatic pressures up to 15 GPa at T = 300 K. Results for the frequencies of first- and second-order Raman features of the zincblende phase (0-9.5 GPa) are used to set up a rigid-ion model of the phonon dispersion relations under pressure. Calculated phonon densities of states, mode Gruneisen parameters and the thermal expansion coefficient as a function of pressure are discussed. The effect of pressure on the widths and intensities of Raman spectral features is considered. Raman spectra of high-pressure phases of ZnTe are reported. These spectra indicate the possible existence of a new phase near 13 GPa, intermediate between the cinnabar and ort…
Pressure Effect on Spin Crossover in [Fe(phen)2(NCS)2] and [CrI2(depe)2]
2004
In the present article, we discuss the results of investigations of the influence of hydrostatic pressure (up to 1.2 GPa) on the spin transition behavior in [Fe(phen)2(NCS)2] polymorph II and [CrI2(depe)2]. It is demonstrated that pressure effect studies are very helpful in elucidating the mechanism of cooperative dynamic electronic structure phenomena accompanied by significant volume changes. Application of hydrostatic pressure serves as a tool for modifying the ligand field strength in a controlled manner.
Temperature and pressure effects on the spin state of ferric ions in the [Fe(sal2-trien)][Ni(dmit)2] spin crossover complex
2008
Abstract Thermal and pressure effects have been investigated on the [Fe(sal 2 -trien)][Ni(dmit) 2 ] spin crossover complex by means of Mossbauer spectroscopic, calorimetric, X-ray diffraction and magnetic susceptibility measurements. The complex displays a complete thermal spin transition between the S = 5 2 and S = 1 2 spin states of Fe III near 245 K with a hysteresis loop of ca. 30 K. This transition is characterised by a change of the enthalpy, Δ H HL =7 kJ/mol, entropy, Δ S HL =29 J/Kmol, and the unit cell volume, Δ V HL =15.4 A 3 . Under hydrostatic pressures up to 5.7 kbar the thermal transition shifts to higher temperatures by ca. 16 K/kbar. Interestingly, at a low applied pressure …
Refrigerated Fruit Juices: Quality and Safety Issues
2007
Fruit juices are an important source of bioactive compounds, but techniques used for their processing and subsequent storage may cause alterations in their contents so they do not provide the benefits expected by the consumer. In recent years consumers have increasingly sought so-called "fresh" products (like fresh products), stored in refrigeration. This has led the food industry to develop alternative processing technologies to produce foods with a minimum of nutritional, physicochemical, or organoleptic changes induced by the technologies themselves. Attention has also focused on evaluating the microbiological or toxicological risks that may be involved in applying these processes, and t…
Energy recovery from rectangular weirs in wastewater treat-ment plants
2022
Hydraulic turbines for energy recovery in wastewater treatment plants, with relatively large discharges and small head jumps, are usually screw or Kaplan types. In the specific case of a small head jump (about 3 m) underlying a rectangular weir in the major Palermo (Italy) treat-ment plant, a traditional Kaplan solution is compared with two other ones: a Hydrostatic Pres-sure Machine (HPM) located in the upstream channel and a cross-flow turbine located in a specif-ic underground room downstream the same channel.
Effect of Hydrostatic Pressure on the Phase Transitions of {N(CH3)4}2ZnCl4-xBrxMixed Crystals
1991
Single crystals of the solid solution system {N(CH 3 ) 4 } 2 ZnCl 4- x Br x have been prepared in a low x region, and the effect of hydrostatic pressure on the phase transitions were measured for x =0.2 and 0.3. The normal-to-incommensurate phase transition temperatures increase linearly with increasing pressure with the rates of 0.126 K/MPa and 0.129 K/MPa for x =0.2 and 0.3 crystals, respectively. The ferroelectric III phase disappears at about 60 MPa for x =0.2 crystal. On the other hand, phase III is not observed for the x =0.3 crystal both at 0 pressure and at high pressures. The II-IV or III-IV transition temperatures also increases with increasing pressure with the rates of 0.162 K/M…
Structural phase transitions on AgCuS stromeyerite mineral under compression.
2012
The structural behavior of mineral Stromeyerite, AgCuS, has been studied by means of angle-dispersive X-ray diffraction measurements up to 13 GPa and ab initio total-energy calculations. Two high-pressure phase transitions are found at 1.4 and 5.7 GPa, from the initial distorted Ni(2)In-type phase (AuRbS-type, RP, space group Cmc2(1)) through an anti-PbClF-type phase (HP1, space group P4/nmm) to a monoclinic distortion of this latter phase (HP2, space group P2(1)/m). The collapse of the metal-metal interatomic distances at the RP-HP1 transition suggests a stronger metallic behavior of the high-pressure phase. The compressibility of the lattice parameters and the equation of state of the fir…
