    Available online www.jsaer.com Journal of Scientific and Engineering Research, 2016, 3(5):281-284 ISSN: 2394-2630 CODEN(USA): JSERBR Research Article Study of toxicity of arsenic during the synthesis of new class of iron-based oxyarsenide superconductors Intikhab A Ansari, Syed S Ghani*, Iqbal Hussain General Studies Department, Jubail Industrial College, P. O. Box - 10099, Jubail industrial City-31961, Saudi Arabia Abstract The toxicity of arsenic and its severe effect on human-beings are reported in this study. The different exposure limits of various materials are described during the synthesis of iron-based superconductor as a time- weighted average (TWA) over an 8-hours workday. This report reveals that the element arsenic is found to be highly toxic in case of inhalation or ingestion by the employers amongst the starting materials during the synthesis of oxyarsenide superconductor. All the exposure limits are taken from Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations. This study helps to increase the primary care provider’s knowledge of hazardous substances such as arsenic in the environment and to promote the adoption of medical practices that aid in the evaluation and care of potentially exposed patients. Keywords Iron-based superconductor; toxicity; arsenic, exposure limits, extracted Introduction The recent discovery on the new class of iron-based superconductor has broken the tyranny of copper. The innovation of 26 K transition temperature (Tc) in fluorine-doped LaFeAsO superconductor [1] marked the beginning of worldwide efforts to investigate this new family of superconductors. After several efforts the Tc has reached 55 K by replacement of Lanthanum (La) by other rare earth elements [2-4].

Transmission electron microscopy is used to study the microstructure of indium d layers in GaAs~001! grown by molecular beam epitaxy at low temperature ~200 °C!. This material, referred to as LT-GaAs, contains a high concentration ('1020 cm23) of point defects. It is established that when the material is d-doped with indium to levels equivalent to 0.5 or 1 monolayer ~ML!, the roughness of the growth surface leads to the formation of InAs islands with characteristic lateral dimensions ,10 nm, which are distributed primarily within four adjacent atomic layers, i.e., the thickness of the indium-containing layer is 1.12 nm. Subsequent annealing, even at relatively low temperatures, leads to significant broadening of the indium- containing layers due to the interdiffusion of In and Ga, which is enhanced by the presence of a high concentration of point defects, particularly VGa ,inLT-GaAs.

  • Relationship Between the Molecular Conformation of Choline Aryl Ethers and Nicotine-Like Stimulant Activity
    Br. J. Pharmac. Chemother. (1968), 32, 113-126. RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE MOLECULAR CONFORMATION OF CHOLINE ARYL ETHERS AND NICOTINE-LIKE STIMULANT ACTIVITY BY E. R. CLARK, P. M. DAWES* ANi) S. G. WILLIAMS t From the Department of Pharmacology, School of Medicine, University of Leeds, Leeds 2 (Received August 7, 1967) The introduction of one or more methyl substituents into the structure of choline phenyl ether bromide (TMl) may result in large changes, both qualitative and quantitative, in pharmacological action. Thus, whereas choline o-tolyl ether bromide (o-Me-TM1), and a-methylcholine phenyl ether bromide (a-Me-TMI) are potent ganglion stimulants, being respectively one half and twice as active as choline phenyl ether (Hunt & Renshaw, 1936), choline 2,6-xylyl ether bromide (xylocholine) and /8-methylcholine phenyl ether bromide (P-Me-TMl) are devoid of ganglion stimulant activity (Hey, 1952; Clark & Jana, 1966), and xylocholine possesses adrenergic neurone blocking activity. An examination of molecular models of xylocholine and choline phenyl ether suggested that the difference in biological action might be steric in origin. Xylocholine is very sterically hindered, rotation about its phenyl-oxygen bond is virtually completely inhibited, and the plane containing the oxygen valencies is orthogonal to the plane of the benzene ring. In contrast choline phenyl ether is completely flexible and able to adopt different conformations in which the angle between the plane of the benzene ring and the plane containing the oxygen valencies (" angle-of-twist") varies between 00 and 900. p-Me-TMl lies between these two extremes; some degree of rotation about the phenyl- oxygen bond is possible but steric hindrance occurs between the o-hydrogens and the ,B-methyl group, and the "angle-of-twist" is always >00.

I confirm that except where specific reference is made to the work of others, the contents of this dissertation are original and have not been submitted in whole or in part for consideration for any other degree or qualification in this, or any other university. This dissertation is my own work and contains nothing which is the outcome of work done in collaboration with others, except as specified in the text and Acknowledgements. Kashif Awan March, 2018 Ottawa, Canada iii Abstract This doctoral dissertation focuses on fabrication processes for integrated photonic devices based on III-V semiconductors. This work covers a range of III-V materials and a variety of devices. Initially, design, fabrication and optical characterization of aluminum gallium arsenide (AlGaAs) waveguides for enhanced optical nonlin- ear interactions was carried out. Based on our results, we proposed a new type of waveguide for AlGaAs integrated nonlinear optics. Photonic crystal nanocavities and waveguides are attractive components for integrated photonic devices, due to their control over spatial, spectral and dispersion properties of light. Fabrication pro- cess for high-Q GaAs photonic crystal nanocavities was developed.

  • Isovalent Substitution Effects of Arsenic on Structural and Electrical
    Isovalent substitution effects of arsenic on structural and electrical properties of iron-based superconductor NdFeAsO0.8F0.2 Z. Alborzi and V. Daadmehr* Magnet and Superconducting Res. Lab., Faculty of Physics & Chemistry, Alzahra University, Tehran 19938, IRAN [email protected], *[email protected] Abstract In this paper, nominal compositions of NdFeAsO0.8F0.2, NdFeAs0.95Sb0.05O0.8F0.2 and NdFeAs0.95P0.05O0.8F0.2 were prepared by one-step solid-state reaction method. The structural, electrical and morphological properties of samples were characterized through the XRD pattern, the 4-probe method and SEM, respectively. The crystal structure of our samples was tetragonal with P4/nmm:2 symmetry group. Also, the (x, y, z), occupancy of ions and lattice parameters were changed by isovalent substitution of Phosphorus (P) and Antimony (Sb)in the NdFeAsO0.8F0.2 sample. The ⍺, β bond angles and Fe-As bond length are changed from the corresponding value of ⍺ and β regular FeAs4-tetrahedron by isovalent doping P/As and Sb/As, that they are effective on the superconductivity transition temperature. The microstrain and crystalline size of samples were studied by the Williamson Hall method. The superconducting critical temperatures were attained at 56 K and 46 K for NdFeAsO0.8F0.2, NdFeAs0.95Sb0.05O0.8F0.2, respectively. The NdFeAs0.95P0.05O0.8F0.2 showed the structural transition temperature at 140 K. It seems that there is a relation between the superconductivity and shrinkage of the crystal lattice. The flake-type of grains was observed by SEM pictures of samples. Key words: Iron- based superconductor, isovalent doping, crystal structure, microstrain 1.
