A single crystal of gallium borate, GaBO3, 4 × 4 × 0.2 mm3 in size has been grown by spontaneous crystallization with a molten flux based on a Bi2O3-3B2O3 solvent. From single crystal X-ray diffraction measurement, GaBO3 was found to crystallize in the trigonal calcite type, space group R-3c, with cell dimensions a = 4.56590(10) and c = 14.1764(4) Å, Z = 6. Layers of distorted [GaO6] octahedra ...

An entirely new means of printing molecular information on a planar film, involving casting nanoscale impressions of the template protein molecules in molten gallium, is presented here for the first time. The metallic imprints not only replicate the shape and size of the proteins used as template. They also show specific binding for the template species. Such a simple approach to the creation o...

Calculations are carried out for the scattering of heavy rare gas atoms with surfaces using a recently developed classical theory that can track particles trapped in the physisorption potential well and follow them until ultimate desorption. Comparisons are made with recent experimental data for xenon scattering from molten gallium and indium, systems for which the rare gas is heavier than the ...

In this research, the ideal procedures were obtained for growth epitaxial layers of tin and gallium solutions which are solid solutions, two molten material dissolved on a silicon substrate. The results to obtain lowest dislocation density thin films. relationship between densities films thickness film was an exponential its variable values. Thin with compound containing smooth structure varied...
