In this paper we study in detail the post-growth annealing of a copper-containing material deposited with focused electron beam induced deposition (FEBID). The organometallic precursor Cu(II)(hfac)2 was used for deposition and the results were compared to that of compared to earlier experiments with (hfac)Cu(I)(VTMS) and (hfac)Cu(I)(DMB). Transmission electron microscopy revealed the deposition...

Glass is a freezing phase of a deeply supercooled liquid. Despite its simple definition, the origin of glass forming ability (GFA) is still ambiguous, even for binary Cu-Zr alloys. Here, we directly study the stability of the supercooled Cu-Zr liquids where we find that Cu64Zr36 at a supercooled temperature shows deeper undercoolability and longer persistence than other neighbouring composition...

Author(s): Poulin, BA; Janssen, SE; Rosera, TJ; Krabbenhoft, DP; Eagles-Smith, CA; Ackerman, JT; Stewart, AR; Kim, E; Baumann, Z; JH; Manceau, A | Abstract: The robust application of stable mercury (Hg) isotopes for source apportionment and risk assessment necessitates the understanding mass-dependent fractionation (MDF) as a result internal transformations within organisms. Here, we used high ...

The Cambridge Structural Database has been surveyed for crystals featuring organo-Hg···S secondary-bonding interactions within supramolecular aggregates. Nearly 50% of where Hg···S could potentially form, featured contacts zero- or one-dimensional assemblies with only a few examples two-dimensional arrays interactions. This high propensity contact formation reflects the inherent thiophilic natu...

this study has paied to investigation and comparison of content hg in imported rice from indian country and cultivated rice (oryza sativa( in borojerd and isfehan provinces in iran. 30 types of indian imported rice and 5 type iranian rice available in market of iran in 4 repeat from every type. the first step, grains of raw rice were digested by acid digestion method and then were analyzed for ...

background: dental clinics are known to be one of the largest users of toxic inorganic mercury. it is well documented that dentists and dental assistants who work with amalgam are chronically exposed to mercury vapor. this study investigates exposure to mercury vapor in a dental clinic. methods: gbc cold vapor atomic absorption spectrometry (aas), using sodium borohydride as the reducing agent,...
