Thin films of polyoxometalates that are sensitized with a Ru(II) metallopolymer generate significant photocurrents in the presence of benzyl alcohol and visible light. Significantly, the photocurrent generated by the tungstate based adduct, α-[P(2)W(18)O(62)](6-), is approximately seven fold larger than that found for the Dawson polyoxomolybdate α-[S(2)Mo(18)O(62)](4-).

nanoparticles of zirconium(iv) tungstate are prepared by chemical co-precipitation method. thecharacterizations have been carried out by tg/dta, dsc, afm, xrd, ftir and uv-vis spectrum. plspectrum shows two emission bands at 350 nm and at 477 nm. the effects of frequency on the dielectricbehavior and ac electrical conductivity have been studied. the dielectric constant is found to be 119.43 at1...

Aqueous H2O2 is an ideal oxidant, when coupled with a tungstate complex and a quaternary ammonium hydrogensulfate as an acidic phase-transfer catalyst. It oxidizes alcohols, olefins, and sulfides under organic solvent- and halide-free conditions in an economically, technically, and environmentally satisfying manner.

Difference electron density maps, using as few as four 1/2 degrees oscillation photographs, have been computed for tomato bushy stunt virus crystals soaked in EDTA. GdCl3 and silicotungstate. The maps define a double divalent cation site, responsible for regulating expansion of the virus particle, as well as sites for binding tungstate anions.

This paper presents result of a study on undoped as well as various doped lead tungstate crystals. Radiation induced color center density was compared to radio luminescence. Light output degradation for crystals under irradiation was measured. Correlations between variations of crystal transmittance and light output were investigated. Monitoring wavelength was determined so that adequate sensit...

Coupled exfoliation and fracture induced formation of hydrophobic monolayered nanoflakes in a nonpolar organic medium. The hydrophobic monolayered nanoflakes 5-20 nm in lateral size consisted of a tungstate layer with surface modification by stearylammonium ions (C18H37NH3)0.397 H0.603Cs3W11O35·xH2O (x < 0.625).

a humidity sensor thin film based on nanoporous pbwo4-wo3 composites has been prepared by spin coating technique with different weight ratio of pbwo4 (pb) and wo3 (wo) (pwwo-01, pwwo-82, pwwo-64, pwwo-46, pwwo-28, pwwo-01) and their humidity sensing properties have also been investigated at different relative humidity (rh) in the range of 5% - 98% at room temperature with dc resistance. it is f...

Zirconium tungstate (ZrW,OJ exhibits the unusual property of a negative coefficient of thermal expansion (CTB) over a Iwide range of temperature, from 0.3 to 1050 K. This property was reported about thirty years ago (l), but only recently were the structure of this compound solved, the low-temperature CTE measurement performed and a physical explanation for the negative CTE proposed (2). Zircon...

The CMS detector at LHC is equipped with a high precision lead tungstate crystal electromagnetic calorimeter (ECAL). The front-end boards and the photodetectors are monitored using a network of DCU (Detector Control Unit) chips located on the detector electronics. The DCU data are accessible through token rings controlled by an XDAQ based software component. Relevant parameters are transferred ...
