A kinetic model for flame inhibition by antimony-halogen compounds in hydrocarbon flames is developed. Thermodynamic data for the relevant species are assembled from the literature, and calculations are performed for a large set of additional species of Sb-Br-C-H-O system. The main Sb- and Br-containing species in the combustion products and reaction zone are determined using flame equilibrium ...

A new method to prepare solid state chlorometallates by reductive dechlorination of solvated niobium pentachloride with vaporisation of nominally free atoms of samanum is described. Products were prepared in an original set-up by evaporation of samarium into a mixed toluene solution of NbCl,, at 180 K. The local order around the Nb atoms was probed by EXAFS spectroscopy at the Nb K edge, using ...

Two new antimony telluride single source precursors (SSPs), Ph2SbTeR (R = Et, Ph), have been used to synthesise pure and defect free hexagonal Sb2Te3 nanoplates by thermal decomposition in an organic solvent. The chemical composition of the SSPs plays an important role in the formation of antimony telluride nanocrystals.

Emergence of resistance to pentavalent antimonials has become a severe obstacle in the treatment of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) in the Indian subcontinent. Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) are well-known mediators of signal transduction of eukaryotes, regulating important processes, like proliferation, differentiation, stress response, and apoptosis. In Leishmania, MAPK1 has been shown...

The effects of grain size and strain on the temperature-dependent thermal transport of antimony telluride (Sb2Te3) thin films, controlled using post-annealing temperatures of 200°C to 350°C, were investigated using the 3-omega method. The measured total thermal conductivities of 400-nm-thick thin films annealed at temperatures of 200°C, 250°C, 300°C, 320°C, and 350°C were determined to be 2.0 t...

In today’s world of electronics, nanomaterial applications pose a challenge. The spin coating approach was used to create nanostructured ZnO with wurtzite structure in recent study. Antimony doping, aluminum, and antimony codoping 2.0 percent were make these films. impact doped codoped films on structural, optical properties, morphological has been examined using variety characterization approa...
