Here, we investigate the doping effects on the lithium ion transport behavior in garnet Li7La3Zr2O12 (LLZO) from the combined experimental and theoretical approach. The concentration of Li ion vacancy generated by the inclusion of aliovalent dopants such as Al(3+) plays a key role in stabilizing the cubic LLZO. However, it is found that the site preference of Al in 24d position hinders the thre...

the effects of chronic administration of lithium, on acute toxicity of carbamazepine (cbz) in mate albino mice was studied and the ld50 values were determined from dose-probit curves. the results showed that in lithium pretreated animals (animals consumed drinking water contraining 600 mg/l lithium carbonate for 10 days) the ld50 value (the doese corresponding to probit 5) of cbz decreased sign...

the effects of chronic administration of lithium, on acute toxicity of chlorpromazine (cpz) in male albino mice was studied and the ldso values were determined from dose-probit curves. tfie results showed that in lithium pretrealed animals (anmials consumed drinking water containing 600mg/l lithium chloride for 10 days) the ld50 value (the dose corresponding to probit 5) of cpz increased signif...

Electronic and optical properties of graphene and graphitic ZnO (G/g-ZnO) nanocomposites have been investigated with density functional theory. Graphene interacts overall weakly with g-ZnO monolayer via van der Waals interaction. There is no charge transfer between the graphene and g-ZnO monolayer, while a charge redistribution does happen within the graphene layer itself, forming well-defined ...

We report a potential way to enhance and tune the multiferroic and resistive switching properties of BiFeO3 nanoparticles through dilute aliovalent Li(1+) doping (0.046 atomic percent) at the Fe(3+) sites of BiFeO3. The high purity of the samples and the extent of doping were confirmed by different physical characterizations. Enhanced multiferroic properties with a magnetic moment per Fe atom ≈...

The synthesis of Li(x)BC (x > 0.5) by high temperature Li deintercalation from LiBC is demonstrated by refinement of X-ray and neutron powder diffraction data--contrary to theoretical expectation no superconductivity above 2K is observed in these materials.

Investigations into the synthesis and utilisation of organic ionic plastic crystals have made significant progress in recent years, driven by a continued need for high conductivity solid state electrolytes for a range of electrochemical devices. There are a number of different aspects to research in this area; fundamental studies, utilising a wide range of analytical techniques, of both pure an...
