radiation enhanced diffusion at the surface of metals has been observed and studied for low-energy nitrogen ions at the surface of copper. the displacement of the target atoms during irradiation creates vacancies and other defects near the surface, thus enhancing the diffusion of implanted materials toward the surface and also into the solid. the mechanism has been studied here by a special met...

in this study, the blast furnace slag was used as absorbing bed and then, its ionic adsorption was studied. for this reason, various experimental parameters such as ph, contact time and the primary ion concentration were investigated. the remaining concentrations of ions such as; mn2+ and fe2+ in water were measured by atomic adsorption spectroscopy. the chemical and phase composition of slag, ...

algae have been proven efficient biological vectors for heavy metal uptake. in order to further study their biosorption potential, two strains spirogyra sp. and spirulina sp. have been studied under different initial metal concentrations. in recent years, the biosorption processes have been studied extensively using microbial biomass as biosorbent for heavy metal ions removal. in these studies...

in the present study, we investigate the potentiometric behavior of cu2+ carbon paste electrodes based on two mercapto compounds 2-ethylmino-5-mercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazole (eamt) and 2-acetylamino-5-mercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazole (aamt) self-assembled on gold nano-paricle (gnp) as ionophore. then, the results obtained from the modified electrodes are compared. the self-assembled ionophores exhibit a ...

The geometries and energies of the electronic states of phenyloxenium ion 1 (Ph-O(+)) were computed at the multireference CASPT2/pVTZ level of theory. Despite being isoelectronic to phenylnitrene 4, the phenyloxenium ion 1 has remarkably different energetic orderings of its electronic states. The closed-shell singlet configuration ((1)A(1)) is the ground state of the phenyloxenium ion 1, with a...

The true oxidation state of formally 'H(-)' ions incorporated in an oxide host is frequently discussed in connection with chemical shifts of (1)H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, as they can exhibit values typically attributed to H(+). Here we systematically investigate the link between geometrical structure and chemical shift of H(-) ions in an oxide host, mayenite, with a combination ...
