Hg-based superconducting Cu mixed oxides

NEW SUPERCONDUCTING OXIDES IN THE Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O SYSTEM : MAGNETIC MEASUREMENTS AND STRUCTURAL DETERMINATION

-Detailed neutron diffraction structure analysis of Bi2SrzCaCu20s is reported. The effects of Pb-substitution on BizSrzCaCuzOs and Bi2Sr2CuOs are discussed, and magnetization measurement results on the 110 K phase in the Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-0 system are given. Since the discovery of high Tc superconductivity in the Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-0 system [I], two superconducting phases have been unambiguously identified,...

Synthesis and Characterization of MnO2-Based Mixed Oxides as Supercapacitors

Mn/Pb and Mn/Ni mixed oxide were prepared at ambient temperature by reduction of KMnO4 with Mn, Pb, and Ni salts. This low-temperature approach provides amorphous structure of the active material. The specific capacitance of pure MnO2 was estimated to be 166 F/g and increased to 210 and 185 F/g for Mn/Ni and Mn/Pb oxides, respectively. The carbon loading was optimized at 20 wt %. Based on a sin...

Methanol steam reforming; Effects of various metal oxides on the properties of a Cu-based catalyst

Ternary Cu/ZnO/metal oxide catalysts are prepared through the co-precipitation method under strict control of parameters like pH, calcination conditions, and precipitation temperature in a systematic manner. The metal oxides applied in this study consist of Al2O3, ZrO2, La2O3 and Ce2O3. The distinction of this work in comparison with similar research is a comprehensive investigatation of the ca...

C-axis oriented (Hg,Ti)-based superconducting films with Tc⛥125 K

Specific Cu(2+)-induced J-aggregation and Hg(2+)-induced fluorescence enhancement based on BODIPY.

A BODIPY derivative with an -NH(2) and -OH substituted meso-phenyl group is reported, which, under biological conditions, exhibits metal-induced J-aggregation in the presence of Cu(2+) and a specific fluorescence enhancement for Hg(2+).
