we have recently synthesized ti(bh4)3(thf)3 and v(bh4)2(tmeda)2 complexes. the reaction of ticl3(thf)3 with nabh4 in dry thf gave flat blue crystals, ti(bh4)3(thf)3. the reaction of vcl3 with nabh4 in presence of n, n, n', n'- tetramethylethylenediamine, tmeda, produced violet crystals, v(bh4)2(tmeda)2. vibrational and magnetic properties of ti(bh4)3(thf)3 and v(bh4)2(tmeda)2 have been studied.

Introduction:  In  this  study,  we  utilized  the  MCNP4C  Monte  Carlo  code  to  quantitatively  evaluate  the  influence of crystal size and material on intercrystal scatter and parallax effects.   Materials and Methods:  For each of the 5 selected crystals (BGO, LSO, LYSO, LuAP, GSO), transport of  511  keV  photons  originating  from  a  point  source  and  incident  on  the  central  cry...

Two morphological types of Bacillus popilliae, causal agent of the milky disease, have been isolated from taro beetles (Papuana spp, Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae). B. popilliae from P. woodlarkiana woodlarkiana (Papua New Guinea) was a type A1 with a small sporangium (4.1 x 1.6 microm) and a large spore (2.1 x 1.4 microm) and parasporal body (1.8 x 1.2 microm) that sometimes overlap. B. popilliae f...

the qom formation, which hosts the mazraeh celestite deposit, contains dominantly limestones, marl and subordinate evaporites deposited in shallow marine environments. petrographic evidence indicates that the celestite deposits were formed by replacement of limestone. the presence of carbonate inclusions within celestite crystals as well as the pseudomorphic habits of some crystals suggests tha...

In the present work, KTP crystals have been grown by spontaneous nucleation technique in flux medium using K6P4O13 flux. 0.4-1 °C/h cooling rates were applied in the spontaneous nucleation process. The presence and amount of impurities has been determined by using XRF. The optical transmission spectra of impure KTP crystals in the UV–visible region are discussed. The transmission cut-off is cle...
