The structure of the m = 2 tubular compound Bi4Sr12Co8O30−δ, bismuth strontium cobalt oxide, was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. This phase of orthorhombic symmetry exhibits a very strong tetragonal pseudosymmetry. The structure consists of 90°-oriented Bi2Sr2CoO6+δ slices, four Co atoms wide, forming [Sr4Co4O13]∞ pillars at their intersection. The Co atoms in these pillars form four corner-sharing CoO5 bipyramids. In the resulting [Co4O13] cluster, an anionic disorder is evidenced and discussed. Then, an accurate description of the particular structure of the pillars is given. Finally, a comparison with the Mn tubular compound Bi3.6Sr12.4Mn8O30−δ is carried out.

Abstract The compound Co6O2 [TeO4(CoAsO5)2] has been prepared by solid state reactions. Single crystal X -ray techniques led to orthorhombic symmetry, space group D 182h-Cmca, a = 6.020(1), b = 23.763(5), c = 8.841(2) Å , Z = 4. The new structure type contains the hitherto unknown cobaltoarsenate group CoAsO7, oxidic oxygen connected exclusively to cobalt, and TeO6 octahedra.

One of the most common applications of pulsed-laser ablation (PLA) is the production of oxide films of almost any stoichiometry. In this work, thin films of cobalt oxide were grown onto single-crystal yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) substrates of (100) orientation. Film morphology during the early stages of growth has been studied.Cobalt oxide films grown on suitable substrates have potential applications in electronic and magnetic devices. Like most transition metal oxides, cobalt oxide exists in more than one form, depending on the valence of the cations and their distribution . The transition from CoO to Co3O4 occurs at about 900°C in air, CoO being the high-temperature phase. However, by lowering the partial pressure of oxygen, the CoO stability region shifts down to much lower temperatures.The laser system used for the depositions was a Lambda Physik model 210i with KrF excimer laser (λ=248 nm) operating at an energy of 200 mJ per pulse. A Co3O4 pellet (96% dense) was fabricated as the target material.

Cobalt oxide nanooctahedra with a main cavity or cracks branching out due to a Kirkendall effect, stem from the synthetic process, the intermediate stages of rearrangement and the final thermodynamically-driven oxidation at the surface.

Layered cobalt carbonate hydroxide (LCCH) acicular nanorod arrays (ANRAs) are converted to Co3O4 acicular nanotube arrays (ANTAs) via Kirkendall effect. The Co3O4 ANTAs exhibit a specific capacitance of 979 F g−1, which is higher than that of the Co3O4 ANRAs (191 F g−1).

In the previous paper, the author reported on a technique for preparing vapor-deposited single crystal films as high resolution standards for electron microscopy. The present paper is intended to describe the preparation of several high resolution standards for dark field microscopy and also to mention some results obtained from these studies. Three preparations were used initially: 1.) Graphitized carbon black, 2.) Epitaxially grown particles of different metals prepared by vapor deposition, and 3.) Particles grown epitaxially on the edge of micro-holes formed in a gold single crystal film.The authors successfully obtained dark field micrographs demonstrating the 3.4Å lattice spacing of graphitized carbon black and the Au single crystal (111) lattice of 2.35Å. The latter spacing is especially suitable for dark field imaging because of its preparation, as in 3.), above. After the deposited film of Au (001) orientation is prepared at 400°C the substrate temperature is raised, resulting in the formation of many square micro-holes caused by partial evaporation of the Au film.

Palladium single-crystal films have been prepared by Matthews in ultra-high vacuum by evaporation onto (001) NaCl substrates cleaved in-situ, and maintained at ∼ 350° C. Murr has also produced large-grained and single-crystal Pd films by high-rate evaporation onto (001) NaCl air-cleaved substrates at 350°C. In the present work, very large (∼ 3cm2), continuous single-crystal films of Pd have been prepared by flash evaporation onto air-cleaved (001) NaCl substrates at temperatures at or below 250°C. Evaporation rates estimated to be ≧ 2000 Å/sec, were obtained by effectively short-circuiting 1 mil tungsten evaporation boats in a self-regulating system which maintained an optimum load current of approximately 90 amperes; corresponding to a current density through the boat of ∼ 4 × 104 amperes/cm2.

Manganese (II) oxide, MnO, in common with CoO, NiO and FeO, possesses the NaCl structure and shows antiferromagnetism below its Neel point, Tn∼ 122 K. However, the defect chemistry of the four oxides is different and the magnetic structures are not identical. The non-stoichiometry in MnO2 small (∼2%) and below the Tn the spins lie in (111) planes. Previous work reported observations of magnetic features in CoO and NiO. The aim of our work was to find explanations for certain resonance results on antiferromagnetic MnO.Foils of single crystal MnO were prepared from shaped discs by dissolution in a mixture of HCl and HNO3. Optical microscopy revealed that the etch-pitted foils contained cruciform-shaped precipitates, often thick and proud of the surface but red-colored when optically transparent (MnO is green). Electron diffraction and probe microanalysis indicated that the precipitates were Mn2O3, in contrast with recent findings of Co3O4 in CoO.

Uniaxial compression tests and hydrostatic tests at pressures up to 27 kbars have been performed to determine operating slip systems in single crystal and polycrystal1ine beryllium. A recent study has been made of wave propagation in single crystal beryllium by shock loading to selectively activate various slip systems, and this has been followed by a study of wave propagation and spallation in textured, polycrystal1ine beryllium. An alteration in the X-ray diffraction pattern has been noted after shock loading, but this alteration has not yet been correlated with any structural change occurring during shock loading of polycrystal1ine beryllium.This study is being conducted in an effort to characterize the effects of shock loading on textured, polycrystal1ine beryllium. Samples were fabricated from a billet of Kawecki-Berylco hot pressed HP-10 beryllium.
