  • Metastability of Anatase
    Metastability of anatase: size dependent and irreversible anatase-rutile phase SUBJECT AREAS: DENDRIMERS transition in atomic-level precise titania POLYMER CHEMISTRY Norifusa Satoh1, Toshio Nakashima2 & Kimihisa Yamamoto2 NANOSCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY COORDINATION CHEMISTRY 1Photovoltaic Materials Unit, National Institute for Materials Science, 1-2-1 Sengen, Tsukuba, Ibaraki, 305-0047 Japan, 2Chemical Resources Laboratory, Tokyo Institute of Technology, 4259 Nagatsuta, Yokohama 226-8503 Japan. Received 12 March 2013 Since crystal phase dominantly affects the properties of nanocrystals, phase control is important for the applications. To demonstrate the size dependence in anatase-rutile phase transition of titania, we used Accepted quantum-size titania prepared from the restricted number of titanium ions within dendrimer templates for 21 May 2013 size precision purposes and optical wave guide spectroscopy for the detection. Contrary to some theoretical calculations, the observed irreversibility in the transition indicates the metastablity of anatase; Published thermodynamics cannot explain the formation of metastable states. Therefore, we take into account the 7 June 2013 kinetic control polymerization of TiO6 octahedral units to explain how the crystal phase of the crystal-nucleus-size titania is dependent on which coordination sites, cis-ortrans-, react in the TiO6 octahedra, suggesting possibilities for the synthetic phase control of nanocrystals. In short, the dendrimer Correspondence and templates give access to crystal nucleation chemistry. The paper will also contribute to the creation of artificial metastable nanostructures with atomic-level precision. requests for materials should be addressed to N.S.

Center for Self-Assembled Chemical Structure (CSACS), Chemistry Department, McGill University, 801 Sherbrooke St. West, Montreal, Quebec H3A 2K6, Canada * corresponding author Abstract Theory and simulations of simultaneous chemical demixing and phase ordering are performed for a mixed order parameter system with an isotropic-isotropic (I-I) phase separation that is metastable with respect to an isotropic-nematic (I-N) phase ordering transition. Under certain conditions, the disordered phase transforms into an ordered phase via the motion of a double front containing a metastable phase produced by I-I demixing, a thermodynamically driven mechanism not previously reported. Different kinetic regimes are found depending on the location of the initial conditions in the thermodynamic phase diagram and the ratio between diffusional and nematic phase ordering mobilities. For a diffusional process, depending if the temperature is above or below the critical co-dissolution point, an inflection point or a phase separation takes place in the depletion layer. This phase separation leads to the formation of a second interface where the separation of the two metastable isotropic phases grows monotonically with time. The observed deviations from the typical Fickian concentration profiles are associated with strong positive deviations of the mixture from ideality due to couplings between concentration and nematic ordering.

Received: 6 August 2019; Accepted: 22 August 2019; Published: 26 August 2019 Abstract: Among transition metal carbides and nitrides, zirconium, and hafnium compounds are the most stable and have the highest melting temperatures. Here we review published data on phases and phase equilibria in Hf-Zr-C-N-O system, from experiment and ab initio computations with focus on rocksalt Zr and Hf carbides and nitrides, their solid solutions and oxygen solubility limits. The systematic experimental studies on phase equilibria and thermodynamics were performed mainly 40–60 years ago, mostly for binary systems of Zr and Hf with C and N. Since then, synthesis of several oxynitrides was reported in the fluorite-derivative type of structures, of orthorhombic and cubic higher nitrides Zr3N4 and Hf3N4. An ever-increasing stream of data is provided by ab initio computations, and one of the testable predictions is that the rocksalt HfC0.75N0.22 phase would have the highest known melting temperature. Experimental data on melting temperatures of hafnium carbonitrides are absent, but minimum in heat capacity and maximum in hardness were reported for Hf(C,N) solid solutions.

Heimann Am Stadtpark 2A, D-02826 Görlitz, Germany; [email protected]; Tel.: +49-3581-667851 Abstract: This topical review describes the salient results of recent research on silicon nitride, a ceramic material with unique properties. The outcome of this ongoing research strongly encourages the use of monolithic silicon nitride and coatings as contemporary and future biomaterial for a variety of medical applications. Crystallographic structure, the synthesis and processing of monolithic structures and coatings, as well as examples of their medical applications that relate to spinal, orthopedic and dental implants, bone grafts and scaffolds, platforms for intelligent synthetic neural circuits, antibacterial and antiviral particles and coatings, optical biosensors, and nano-photonic waveguides for sophisticated medical diagnostic devices are all covered in the research reviewed herein. The examples provided convincingly show that silicon nitride is destined to become a leader to replace titanium and other entrenched biomaterials in many fields of medicine.

Fax: +91-2658 2037 Abstract Here we report a strategy, by taking a prototypical model system for photocatal- ysis (viz. N-doped (TiO2)n clusters), to accurately determine low energy metastable structures that can play a major role with enhanced catalytic reactivity. Computa- tional design of specific metastable photocatalyst with enhanced activity is never been easy due to plenty of isomers on potential energy surface. This requires fixing vari- ous parameters viz. (i) favorable formation energy, (ii) low fundamental gap, (iii) low excitation energy and (iv) high vertical electron affinity (VEA) and low vertical ion- arXiv:2006.07395v1 [cond-mat.mtrl-sci] 12 Jun 2020 ization potential (VIP). We validate here by integrating several first principles based methodologies that consideration of the global minimum structure alone can severely underestimate the activity. As a first step, we have used a suite of genetic algorithms [viz. searching clusters with conventional minimum total energy ((GA)E); searching EA IP clusters with specific property i.e. high VEA ((GA)P ), and low VIP ((GA)P )] to 1 model the N-doped (TiO2)n clusters. Following this, we have identified its free energy using ab initio thermodynamics to confirm that the metastable structures are not too far from the global minima.
