Halide perovskites have attracted much attention over the past 5 years as a promising class of materials for optoelectronic applications. However, compared to hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites, the study of their pure inorganic counterparts, like cesium lead halides (CsPbX3), lags far behind. Here, a catalyst-free, solution-phase synthesis of CsPbX3 nanowires (NWs) is reported. These NWs are...

Generalized trends in the formation energies of several families of perovskite oxides (ABO3) and plausible explanations to their existence are provided in this study through a combination of DFT calculations, solid-state physics analyses and simple physical/chemical descriptors. The studied elements at the A site of perovskites comprise rare-earth, alkaline-earth and alkaline metals, whereas 3d...

A novel activation route for the preparation of carbon-based adsorbents functionalized with lanthanum and their application arsenic adsorption was proposed. This procedure is based on carbon dioxide at room temperature, which could allow to reduce energy consumption adsorbent cost. comparison this approach respect conventional thermal 800 °C under N2 atmosphere performed biochar from avocado se...

Precursors of lanthanum oxide and of (3La2O3, 5Ga2O3, SiO2) system were first elaborated then thermally decomposed into polycrystalline lanthanum oxide and langasite La3Ga5SiO14. The as prepared lanthanum oxide powder was then hydrated and carbonated to give hydroxicarbonates: thermal decomposition of these complex system La2O3-X(OH)y(CO3)z was studied by Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy...

A magnetic study of perovskites R E ( M ~ I . ~ B ~ ) O ~ (RE=Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Y; B=Ni, Co) is reported. It is found that investigated perovskites are nonhomogenous ferromagnets with relatively high Curie temperatures. The magnetic anisotropy of Ni-containing perovskites is much lower than that of Co-containing ones. It is supposed that domains with different charge state of ions and magnetic st...

BACKGROUND Phosphate binders, such as lanthanum carbonate, control elevated serum-phosphate levels in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Lanthanum carbonate is available in oral powder and tablet form. The aim of this survey was to investigate satisfaction with, preference for, and adherence to lanthanum carbonate oral powder in patients with ESRD. SCOPE Patients from France and Sp...

The effects of lanthanum on the resting membrane potential, action potential, membrane resistance, twitch tension, and potassium contracture were investigated and the localization of the drug was studied electron microscopically in isolated frog ventricular muscle. Lanthanum in concentration of 0.2 to 5 mM decreased the resting potential by about 5-8 mV, which was accompanied by an increase in ...

Escherichia coli heat-stable enterotoxin (ST) appears to cause intestinal fluid secretion by activating intestinal particulate guanylate cyclase. Recent studies suggest that chlorpromazine and quinacrine reduce the intestinal secretory response to ST and activation of guanylate cyclase by ST. We have examined the effects of lanthanum chloride, another agent that has been shown to inhibit calciu...

In transition metal oxides, preferential occupation of specific d orbitals on the transition metal ion can lead to the development of a long-range ordered pattern of occupied orbitals. This phenomenon, referred to as orbital ordering, is usually observed indirectly from the cooperative Jahn-Teller distortions (CJTDs) that result as a consequence of the orbital ordering. This paper examines the ...
