We report the results of infrared and magneto-optical spectroscopy study on electrodynamic response of bismuth doped with 1.5% of antimony. The spectra are presented for temperatures down to 4.2 K, and in magnetic fields as high as 18 T. The results reveal strong magneto-optical activity, similar to pure bismuth, however there are some differences introduced by antimony doping. Analysis of opti...

Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (CL) is a skin infection caused by various species of Leishmania parasites, which is transmitted by infected Phlebotomus sandfly bites. Pentavalent antimonials (meglumine antimoniate and sodium stibogluconate) are used for the treatment of adult CL patients as an effective and safe method. Liposomal amphotericin B is an alternative for the treatment of choice in cutaneou...

In their attempts to further this advance they were, however, very severely handicapped; from Germany they were entirely cut off, English chemists were otherwise occupied, and, probably the most important factor of all, commercial firms could not be persuaded to introduce new antimony compounds or even to put on the market antimony tartrates of a higher standard of purity than the usual commerc...

The concomitant activation of carbonyl substrates by two Lewis acids has been investigated by using [1,2-(Ph2 MeSb)2 C6 H4 ](2+) ([1](2+) ), an antimony-based bidentate Lewis acid obtained by methylation of the corresponding distibine. Unlike the simple stibonium cation [Ph3 MeSb](+) , dication [1](2+) efficiently catalyzes the hydrosilylation of benzaldehyde under mild conditions. The catalyti...

The use of antimony compounds, particularly potassium antimonyl tartrate (Tartar emetic), in Cryptococcosis has occasionally been mentioned in the literature,2"' but no experimental study of the therapeutic rationale of the use of antimonials in this infection has to our knowledge ever been under-taken. It did not seem that Tartar emetic was of any therapeutic value, but this should not reflect...

The effect of an initial saturation coverage of antimony on the growth of indium arsenide quantum dots on gallium arsenide has been studied during metalorganic vapor-phase epitaxy. After depositing one to two bilayers of InAs at 723 K, the samples were quenched, transferred to ultrahigh vacuum, and characterized by scanning tunneling microscopy and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. It has been ...

The potentially high gravimetric capacities of intermetallic anodes, coupled with the low cost and readily available materials used in sodium-ion batteries, has generated interest in antimony—an anode capable of alloying with sodium. However, presently there are few synthetic routes to antimony particles for use in sodium-ion batteries. One pot, sol-gel synthetic routes from readily available, ...

MOTIVATION The creation and exchange of biologically relevant models is of great interest to many researchers. When multiple standards are in use, models are more readily used and re-used if there exist robust translators between the various accepted formats. SUMMARY Antimony 2.4 and JSim 2.10 provide translation capabilities from their own formats to SBML and CellML. All provided unique chal...
