Recently, sophisticated theoretical computational studies have proposed several new crystal structures of carbon (e.g., bct-C4, H-, M-, R-, S-, W- and Z-carbon). However, until now, there lacked experimental evidence to verify the predicted high-pressure for cold-compressed elemental at least up 50 GPa. Here we present direct that this enigmatic structure is currently only consistent with M-carbon, one structures. Furthermore, show phase transition extremely sluggish, which led observed...
Iron oxide nanoparticles were prepared using the simplest and most efficient chemical route, coprecipitation, in absence presence of three different widely used surfactants. The purpose this study is to investigate possible influence surfactants on structure therefore magnetic properties iron nanoparticles. Thus, techniques employed order elucidate composition By combining transmission electron microscopy with X-ray powder diffraction absorption fine measurements, we able determine confirm...
Selected members of the A₂B₃ (A = Sb, Bi; B Se, Te) family are topological insulators. The Sb₂Se₃ compound does not exhibit any properties at ambient conditions; a recent high-pressure study, however, indicated that pressure transforms from band insulator into above ~2 GPa; in addition, three structural transitions were proposed to occur up 25 GPa. Partly motivated by these results, we have performed x-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy investigations on under 65 We identified only one...
The high-pressure structural and vibrational properties of Bi2S3 have been probed up to 65 GPa with a combination experimental theoretical methods. ambient-pressure Pnma structure is found persist 50 GPa; further compression leads disorder. Closer inspection our Raman spectroscopic results reveals notable compressibility changes in specific parameters the phase beyond 4-6 GPa. By taking available literature into account, we speculate that second-order isostructural transition realized near...
Abstract High-pressure Raman spectroscopy and x-ray diffraction of Sb 2 S 3 up to 53 GPa reveals two phase transitions at 5 15 GPa. The first transition is evidenced by noticeable compressibility changes in distinct Raman-active modes, the lattice parameter axial ratios, unit cell volume, as well specific interatomic bond lengths angles. By taking into account relevant results from literature, we assign these effects a second-order isostructural arising an electronic topological near Close...

A transition to monoclinic phase began 9.9 GPa complete 16.3 accompanied by ∼9% volume decrease. The stable up least 30 could be quenched ambient conditions. normalized lattice parameter compression data for both phases were fit linear equations, the third-order Birch−Murnaghan equations of state. zero-pressure isothermal bulk moduli (B0) first-pressure...
Abstract As a unique nonlinear optical material, Ba 3 (ZnB 5 O 10 )PO 4 (BZBP) boasts range of distinctive properties, including low anisotropic thermal expansivity, high specific heat, minimal walk‐off effect, large acceptance angle, non‐hygroscopicity, and conversion efficiency. These features position BZBP as highly promising candidate for crucial components in ultraviolet (UV) laser systems. Notably, all previous studies have been conducted under ambient pressures. In this research,...
Two manufacturing protocols of silicon carbide (SiC) nanowires are discussed. The Raman spectra produced SiC compared with powders various grain sizes. temperature and pressure dependence the for is similar to that bulk crystals, but different nanowires. Frequency shifts, band broadenings presence shoulders discussed in terms crystal size, character defects their population. concentration synthesized depends on sintering method. intensity enhancement LO phonon was observed when wavelength...
Human papillomavirus (HPV) related tumours account for a significant proportion of head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCCs) in developed countries. They respond better to chemo- radio-therapy, have stage specific prognosis. To establish their prevalence China, we assessed series histology confirmed HNSCCs collected Zhejiang Guangdong provinces by PCR HPV DNA immunohistochemistry p16 protein status. Among 303 HNSCCs, was detected 26.4%, with HPV16 71% these. Of HNSCC located the...
A large volume press coupled with in-situ energy-dispersive synchrotron X-ray was used to probe the change of silicon carbide (SiC) under high pressure and temperature (P-T) up 8.1 GPa 1100 K. The obtained pressure–volume–temperature data were fitted a modified high-T Birch-Murnaghan equation state, yielding values series thermo-elastic parameters, such as ambient bulk modulus KTo = 237(2) GPa, derivative at constant (∂K/∂T)P −0.037(4) K−1, volumetric thermal expansivity α(0, T) + bT 5.77(1)...
