The properties of nanosized bismuth particles are investigated using a nanocalorimetric technique. A brief description of the experimental method and data analysis procedures is reported. Bismuth nanoparticles are found to melt at a temperature below that of bulk material, but higher than expected using the standard model. Also included is the results of a finite element analysis and simulated ...

We present results of local spin density approximation (LSDA) pseudopotential calculations for the perovskite structure oxide, bismuth manganite (BiMnO3). The origin of the differences between bismuth manganite and other perovskite manganites is determined by first calculating total energies and band structures of the high symmetry cubic phase, then sequentially lowering the magnetic and struct...

conclusions this easily fabricated electrode together with the fast and sensitive sw voltammetry was successfully applied for the determination of concentration of atz at trace levels, in different water samples. results the results revealed that decrease in peak current was proportional to atz concentration over the range of 5-75 ng/ml. the limit of detection (lod) and limit of quantification ...

The high temperature treatment of kaolinite-muscovite alternate layers doped by bismuth oxide was studied by TGA and DTA, X ray diffraction, and electron microscopy (SEM). Thermal analyses shows that the two main transformation stages are the dehydroxylation of phyllosilicates and the structural reorganization of the whole assembly. During dehydroxylation, a progressive decrease of the structur...

Bismuth oxide (Bi2O3) has received great attention as the promising battery-type anode due to its high theoretical capacity and wide operating voltage window, yet slow reaction kinetics poor cyclability are major obstacles affecting performance of energy storage devices. Herein, by employing bismuth-based metal-organic framework (MOF) CAU-17 both template precursor, Bi-Bi2O3 nanoparticles encap...

Bismuth oxide nanoparticle was synthesized by Hydrothermal method, with two different molar ratio of precipitating agent NaOH which decided the variations samples (1:5) and (1:6) added to observe its effect on structural, optical photocatalytic behaviour. So prepared bismuth nano particle characterized X-ray Diffractometer study about crystalline properties. The crystal size observed as 30.7 42...

the interaction of copper oxide nanoparticles and copper ions and proteinase k from tritirachium album limber has been investigated employing uv spectroscopy and kinetics measurements. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of nanoparticles of cuo for proteinase k. in this paper we compare the effect of copper oxide nanoparticles with the effect of copper ions on proteinase k stabilit...

INTRODUCTION One of the uses of white mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) is as an apical barrier in immature teeth. Although this treatment has been reported to have high success rates, a number of cases of discoloration have been noted. The aim of this research was to investigate the color stability of white MTA in contact with various solutions used in endodontics. METHODS The change in color...

Hydrous bismuth oxides (HBO2) have been reported to have anionic sorptive properties. In the present study, removal of fluoride from aqueous solution has been explored for its possible application in drinking water treatment. The performance of fluoride removal from aqueous solutions has been studied by adding four cationic ligands (Fe, Mg, Ca and Cu) in the matrix of hydrous bismuth oxide (HBO...
