We report neutron diffraction data on single crystal PrO2 which reveal a cooperative Jahn-Teller distortion at TD=120±2 K. Below this temperature an internal distortion of the oxygen sublattice causes the unit cell of the crystallographic structure to beco ...
The new possibilities offered by the Java programming environment combined with the accessibility of the World Wide Web present new and interesting perspectives. It is thus now possible to perform simulations directly, using a Web browser, independently of ...
The low temperature (LT) modification of Cs3Bi2I9 has been refined to R(F) = 0.055 on the basis of X-ray diffraction measurements at T = 130 K from a twin crystal with six fractions connected by 3-fold axis and m-planes symmetry operations. Data were colle ...
A new cobalt(II) phosphate compd. has been synthesized using high-temp. flux methods in the CsCl/NaCl media at 650°C. The title compd., Na3CsCo7(PO4)6, forms vibrant purple plate crystals. It crystallizes in a monoclinic space group C2/c (no. 15) with the ...
The investigation of H-1-H-1 spin-diffusion build-up curves using a rate matrix analysis approach shows that high-resolution magic angle spinning NMR of protons, applied to powdered organic compounds, provides a method to probe crystalline arrangements. Th ...
The incommensurately modulated twinned crystal structure of lazurite from the Baikal region is presented for the first time. The orthorhombic structure was solved in a pseudo cubic unit cell, a(cub) = 9.077(1) Angstrom, and in the (3 + 2)D superspace group ...
The orientation dependence of the longitudinal piezoelectric coefficient, d(33)(*), is investigated as a function of temperature in BaTiO3 and PbTiO3 crystals using the Landau-Ginsburg-Devonshire theory. We show that a presence of the ferroelectric-ferroel ...
Several models predict the reflectance of a rough metallic surface. They are however not adapted to the surfaces used in the packaging industry, such as boxes made of printed metallic plates. For printing purposes, metallic surfaces need to be varnished. L ...
The basic photosynthetic unit contg. the reaction center and the light-harvesting I complex (RC-LHI) of the purple non-sulfur bacterium Rhodospirillum rubrum was purified and reconstituted into two-dimensional (2D) membrane crystals. Transmission electron ...
Pb2CoWO6 in its incommensurate phase (230 less than or equal to T less than or equal to 300 K) invariably exhibits orientational domains. Such a polydomain state has been investigated by means of X-ray diffraction at 283 K. Assuming the modulation to be on ...
