A metastable phase of FeSi 2 that is not present in the bulk phase diagram can be grown epitaxially on Si(111). Scanning tunneling microscope images reveal the surface reconstruction of this phase and allows one to model its crystallographic structure. It crystallizes with a cubic structure, probably a fluorite structure like CoSi 2 and NiSi2, lattice-matched to Si. The (111) surface has a 2 × ...

Single crystals of the title compound, Pb(2)CrF(7), were obtained by solid-state reaction. The monoclinic structure is isotypic with Pb(2)RhF(7) and is built up of CrF(6) (3-) octa-hedra isolated from each other, inserted in a fluorite-related matrix of PbF(6) distorted octa-hedra, and PbF(8) square anti-prisms sharing edges and corners. The seventh F atom is 'independent', connected only to th...

Fast (τ∼1.7 ns) broadband (full width at half-maximum = 1.1 eV) vacuum ultraviolet (VUV; hν = 8.4 eV) luminescence from MgF(2) crystals has been detected at low temperature (T<80 K) and analyzed with techniques of cathodoluminescence and time-resolved VUV spectroscopy using synchrotron radiation. The VUV emission discovered has been attributed to the luminescence of spin-singlet self-trapped ex...

in this research calcium fluoride nanoparticles and its different amount of cerium ion dopant (5%and 10%) were prepared. the mentioned nanoparticle were studied by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ftir) , x-ray diffraction (xrd), absorption and photoluminescence spectra (pl) and scanning electron microscopy (sem). the xrd patterns indicate a typical cubic fluorite structure and no other...

The analysis of geological samples that have several chemically diffused zones which formed under certain physico-chemical condition is difficult to achieve. quantitative estimations the minerals in such are tedious. present work demonstrates application LIBS for qualitative and analyses a quartz-fluorite composite was procured from an amygdaloidal basalt Deccan Traps, India. presence weak emis...
