Pressure-Induced Structural Change of Liquid Germanate

Pressure-induced transient structural change of liquid germanium induced by high-energy picosecond laser pulses

Structural change of ionic association in ionic liquid/water mixtures: a high-pressure infrared spectroscopic study.

High-pressure infrared measurements were carried out to observe the microscopic structures of two imidazolium-based ionic liquids, i.e., 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide [EMI(+)(CF(3)SO(2))(2)N(-), EMI(+)TFSA(-)] and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(fluorosulfonyl)amide [EMI(+)(FSO(2))(2)N(-), EMI(+)FSA(-)]. The results obtained at ambient pressure indicate that the ...

Structural and magnetic properties of sodium iron germanate glasses

A series of sodium iron germanate glasses, with general composition 0.3Na2O±xFe2O3±(0.7 ) x)GeO2 (06 x6 0:15), has been prepared by conventional melting and casting. The chemical states of the various elemental components have been investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) from fracture surfaces produced in situ. The analysis of the Fe 3p core level spectra of the glasses which con...

Pressure Dependence of Liquid Vapor Pressure: An Improved Gibbs Prediction

A new model for the vapor phase of a pressurized liquid called "the cluster model: which is originally introduced in this work, along with an accurate equation of state for the liquid phase called the LIR, is used to derive an accurate equation for the vapor pressure of liquid as a function of external pressure. The chemical Potential of both phase have been found to be in good agreement wi...

Irreversible structural change of a dry ionic liquid under nanoconfinement.

Studies of 1-hexyl-3-methyl-imidazolium ethylsulfate ([HMIM] EtSO4) using an extended surface forces apparatus show, for the first time, an ordered structure within the nanoconfined ionic liquid (IL) between mica surfaces that extends up to ∼60 nm from the surface. Our measurements show the growth of this ordered IL-film upon successive nanoconfinements-the structural changes being irreversible...
