In previous work, we studied the electronic structure of several molybdate and tungstate crystals having the scheelite structure. The wolframite structure is another common form for molybdate and tungstate materials. In this paper, we compare two chemically similar materials that naturally form in the scheelite and wolframite structures—CdMoO4 and CdWO4, respectively. We compare the electronic ...

Because of their high stopping power and fast scintillation, lead tungstate crystals have attracted much attention in the high energy physics and nuclear physics communities. The use of lead tungstate, however, is limited by its low light output. An effort has been made at the Shanghai Institute of Ceramics to improve this. The results indicate that a factor of ten increase of the light output,...

The present paper reports observations on the excretion of the polysaccharid inulin by the normal and phlorizinized dog, these observations having been made prior to, or concurrently with, the observations on man recently reported by Shannon and Smith (1935). The introduction of inulin in renal function studies has been discussed by Richards, Westfall and Bott (1934), by Shannon (1934), by Prof...

The multicatalytic proteinase complex or proteasome is a high-molecular-mass multisubunit proteinase which is found in the nucleus and cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. Electron microscopy of negatively stained rat liver proteinase preparations suggests that the particle has a hollow cylindrical shape (approximate width 11 nm and height 17 nm using methylamine tungstate as the negative stain) with...

Tungsten oxide supported on ZrO2 is receiving increased attention as a solid acid catalyst due to its important industrial applications, such as the isomerization of C4-C8 alkanes to upgrade gasoline octane number. It is known that the catalytic activity depends on the structure of WOx species and their interaction with ZrO2 support [1], so a thorough structural characterization is essential fo...

The design of a semiconductor or composite system—with applications in materials science—is complex because its morphology and structure depend on several parameters. These parameters are the precursor type, solvent, pH solution, synthesis approach, shaping agents. This study gives meaningful insight regarding such WO3 materials. By systematically alternating (sodium tungstate dihydrate—NWH, am...

We present a novel Yb:KGd(WO(4))(2) oscillator design that generates six beams of temporally delayed, 253 fs, 11 nJ pulses. This allows multifocal nonlinear microscopy to be performed without the need for complicated optical multiplexers. We demonstrate our design with twelve simultaneously acquired two-photon, second-harmonic and/or third-harmonic images generated from six laterally separated ...

Iron tungstate, Fe 2 WO 6 , is a promising photocatalytic, thermoelectric and electrochemically active material for energy storage devices. However, its structure poorly described in the literature reporting on these applications. For...

Oxide nanomaterials are indispensable building blocks for a future nanotechnology, because they offer an infinite variety of structural motifs that lead to their widespread technical application. Therefore, flexible and tunable preparative strategies are required to convert this large family of materials onto the nanoscale. Although hydrothermal syntheses have proven especially suitable for thi...
