High spin levels in 'Nb and 'Zr have been studied with the reactions Sr{GI,i, 3n) ~ Nb and 8 Sr(GLi, P2n) 'Zr by pulsed-beam-p, p-p, and p-W(&) measurements. Isomers were found which agree with theoretical predictions: a v =5.42 + 0.18-p, sec state at 2035 keV in Nb, l(g&g2) pqg2, $ ), and a v=6.15+0.50-psec state at (8188) keV in 'Zr, [(g9~2) &&d5y2, ~~+). The ~+9y2P, y2d&y2, + ) state in ~'Zr...

Large scale characterization of phosphoproteins requires highly specific methods for purification of phosphopeptides because of the low abundance of phosphoproteins and substoichiometry of phosphorylation. Enrichment of phosphopeptides from complex peptide mixtures by IMAC is a popular way to perform phosphoproteome analysis. However, conventional IMAC adsorbents with iminodiacetic acid as the ...

Local atomic structures of Zr and dopant cations in zirconia solid solutions with Fe,03, Ga203, Y203, and Gd203 .have been determined. The Zr ions in both partially stabilized tetragonal and fully stabilized cubic zirconia have their own characteristic structures which are dopant-independent. The dopant cations substitute for Zr ions despite severe local distortions necessitated by the large di...

The microstructure and electrochemical properties variation of alloy Zr(MnVNi)2 after Ti substitution for Zr was investigated. The microstructures of Zr1ÿxTix (MnVNi)2 (x = 0, 0.5) alloys were determined with X-ray di€raction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high resolution electron microscopy (HREM) and energy dispersive spectrum (EDS) analysis. The systematic structural analysis...

A low magnetic Zr-1Mo alloy was fabricated by a powder bed fusion (PBF) process using a fiber laser. The microstructure, surface morphology, and pore distribution of the as-built Zr-1Mo alloy were observed. Its magnetic susceptibility and Vickers hardness were evaluated by magnetic susceptibility balance and a microindentation tester, respectively. The as-built Zr-1Mo alloy mainly consisted of ...

In this work, we employed classical molecular dynamics simulations model to study ZrxCu100-x (3 ≤ x ≤ 95) metallic glass films deposited on a silicon (100) substrate. Input data were chosen to fit with the experimental operating conditions of a magnetron sputtering deposition system. The growth evolution is monitored with variable compositions of the incoming atom vapor. The Zr-Zr, Cu-Cu and Zr...

The recent advances in the photorefraction of doped lithium niobate crystals are reviewed. Materials have always been the main obstacle for commercial applications of photorefractive holographic storage. Though iron-doped LiNbO3 is the mainstay of holographic data storage efforts, several shortcomings, especially the low response speed, impede it from becoming a commercial recording medium. Thi...

The electrochemical capacity, hydrogen absorbed/desorbed activation properties of alloy Zr(Mn0.1V0.3Ni0.6)2 were improved after Ti substitution for the Zr. The microstructure of Zr12xTixsMn0.1V0.3Ni0.6d2 sx ­ 0, 0.5d alloys was analyzed by x-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and energy dispersive spectrum (EDS) analysis. A systematic structural analysis shows that t...

This work examines the effect of Zr(4+) ions on the physical and photoelectrochemical (PEC) properties of hematite (α-Fe2O3) nanorod arrays grown in an aqueous solution containing zirconyl nitrate (ZrO(NO3)2) as a dopant precursor. The concentration of ZrO(NO3)2 in the precursor solution influenced both the film thickness and the Zr(4+) concentration in the resulting films. Zr doping was found ...

The positron emitting isotope (89)Zr is an ideal radionuclide for use in positron emission tomography (PET) imaging with monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). This article reviews the cyclotron physics of (89)Zr production, and the chemical separation methods for isolating it from yttrium target material. (89)Zr coordination with the bifunctional chelate desferrioxamine B is discussed, along with the c...
