For intrinsic oxide semiconductors, oxygen vacancies served as the electron donors have long been, and inevitably still are, attributed as the primary cause of conductivity, making oxide semiconductors seem hard to act as high insulating materials. Meanwhile, the presence of oxygen vacancies often leads to a persistent photoconductivity phenomenon which is not conducive to the practical use in ...

the oxidative coupling of methane (ocm) over m-na-mn/sio2 catalysts (m=w, cr, nb and v) was investigated using a continuous-flow quartz reactor at 775°c, 1 atm and 100 cm3min-1 gas flow rates, and correlated with the observed structure and redox properties.the interaction effects of the metal-metal and metal-support on the methane conversion and c2+ yield were investigated using x-ray diffracti...

in the present work, attempts have been made to find appropriate coating by testing different compounds. results showed that the optimum enamel is a compound with 1 wt.% cobalt oxide, 3 wt.% chromium oxide (in addition to hundred percent) with the firing temperature of 840 ˚c. constants of vft equation were determined by examination of melting behavior of the optimum enamel and measurement of t...

In the title compound, [Mn(2)O(C(18)H(18)ClN(4))(2)](PF(6))(2), the Mn atom is chelated by a tetra-dentate ligand via four N atoms, and further bonded to one chloride ion and one bridging oxide, to give a centrosymmetric cation and distorted octa-hedral coordination geometry.

Binary transition metal oxides have been regarded as one of the most promising candidates for high-performance electrodes in energy storage devices, since they can offer high electrochemical activity and high capacity. Rational designing nanosized metal oxide/carbon composite architectures has been proven to be an effective way to improve the electrochemical performance. In this work, the (Co,M...

this study was conducted to evaluate the bioavailability of nano and micro sources of manganese in broiler chickens. two hundred and eight, 10-d-old male ross 308 broilers in a completely randomized design with 13 treatments, 4 replications and 4 chicks per replicate were studied for 35 days. during the experimental period, a basal corn-soybean meal diet containing 20 ppm mn (control treatment)...

The mitochondrial matrix is a metabolically differentiated intracellular space concerning superoxide (O2 -), nitric oxide (NO) and peroxynitrite (ONOO) metabolism because of the impermeability of the mitochondrial inner membrane to O2 -, H+ and ONOOand the specific presence of relatively high concentrations of Mn-superoxide dismutase (Mn-SOD), about 3-10 μM.1 Superoxide anion (O2 -) is formed t...

Abstract Duplex stainless steels (DSSs), which consist of ferrite and austenite phases, are widely used owing to their high strength good corrosion resistance. However, the oxidation behavior DSSs is extremely complicated because they have dual phases. In this study, changes in scale metal substrate during were investigated. UNS S32101 (Fe-21.5%Cr–5%Mn–1.5%Ni–0.3%Mo–0.22%N), a typical type DSS,...

The recent discovery of ferromagnetism above room temperature in low-temperature-processed MnO(2)-ZnO has generated significant interest. Using suitably designed bulk and thin-film studies, we demonstrate that the ferromagnetism in this system originates in a metastable phase rather than by carrier-induced interaction between separated Mn atoms in ZnO. The ferromagnetism persists up to approxim...
