Based on ab initio molecular dynamics simulations, we investigate the low-temperature crystal structure of Li2NH which in spite of its great interest as H-storage material is still a matter of debate. The dynamical simulations reveal a precise correlation ...
Single crystal deformation unveiling the characteristics of crystal glide and the role of defect propagation herein has been a matter of intense research more than 60 years ago. A manifold of different mechanical testing methods and crystal qualities were ...
High resolution amplitude and phase of light fields emerging from a 2-μm-period amplitude grating are measured for different wavelengths. The amplitude gratings lead to highly periodic patterns caused by the Talbot effect. Such patterns reach periodicities ...
Aerolysin is a major virulence factor produced by the Gram-negative bacterium Aeromonas hydrophila and is a member of the beta-pore-forming toxin family. Two oligomerization-deficient aerolysin mutants, H132D and H132N, have been overproduced, proteolyzed ...
Synchrotron X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements of Pb-Ti-O fine acicular crystals (nanowires) of the so-called PX-phase have been performed. The theta-2 theta patterns of the nanowires dispersed on substrates with two different geometries indicated that t ...
Acta Crystallographica Section A: Foundations of Crystallography covers theoretical and fundamental aspects of the structure of matter. The journal is the prime forum for research in diffraction physics and the theory of crystallographic structure determin ...
There are many methods and instruments available for powder characterization and they are more or less well suited to powders in different size ranges. This report presents in more detail the relatively recent Centrifugal Particle Sizer (CPS) and its poten ...
Odd-order diffraction of zone plates (ZPs) is already used for x-ray microscopy but the potential offered by even-order diffraction must still be fully exploited. Width differences between lines and interline spaces transfer intensity from odd-order to eve ...
The purpose of the research was to find a simple synthesis with high nuclearity cluster-based compds. The two compds. that the research research was focused on are Cs5V14O42As8Cl (V14Cl) and Cs11Na3V15O36Cl6 (V15Cl). V14Cl and V15Cl were prepd. in a nitrog ...
