Crystal structure of lutetium aluminate (LUAM), Lu4Al2O9

Understanding surface structure and chemistry of single crystal lanthanum aluminate

The surface crystallography and chemistry of a LaAlO3 single crystal, a material mainly used as a substrate to deposit technologically important thin films (e.g. for superconducting and magnetic devices), was analysed using surface X-ray diffraction and low energy ion scattering spectroscopy. The surface was determined to be terminated by Al-O species, and was significantly different from the i...

Electronic structure of spinel oxides: zinc aluminate and zinc gallate

The electronic structure of zinc aluminate (ZnAl2O4) and that of zinc gallate (ZnGa2O4) were studied by the self-consistent tight-binding linearized muffin-tin orbital method with the atomic sphere approximation. The calculated results predict these zinc-based spinel oxides to be direct-gap materials. The direct gap at 0 is found to be 4.11 eV for ZnAl2O4 and 2.79 eV for ZnGa2O4. With reference...

SYNTHESIS AND CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF [PPh ] [WOS (CUNCS) ]

The reaction of [PPhJ, NOS,] with CuCl and KSCN (1 :3:3) in acetone produces the yell-ow crystals of [PPh,], [WOS,(CuNCS),]. The crystals are triclinic, space group P1(2), z=2, a=12.4823(7), b=12.9224(7), c=18.6395(10)?, ?=83.907(5), ?= 73.152(4), Y= 65.194(4)'. The crystal structure was determined by single crystal Xray diffraction methods (Mo-K ?) and refined by least-squares calculations ...

Crystal Structure of Nonaaquayttrium(III) Bromate at 100 K

The structure of the nonaaquayttrium (III) bromate, [Y(H2O)9](BrO3)3, at low temperature (100 K) has been studied by means of single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Crystallography shows a hexagonal unit cell, space group P63/mmc (No. 194) with Z = 2, a = b = 11.7104(11) Å, c = 6.6259(5) Å and V = 786.90(12) Å3 at 100 K. The hydra...
