The anisotropic intermolecular interaction has been known for many years to cause an anomalous feature at about 20 nm−1 in the static structure factor of liquid halogens. This feature increases sequentially for liquids fluorine to chlorine to bromine to iodine near their triple points, and we determined its shape as a function of pressure in liquid bromine at room temperature. While it apparently broadens with increasing pressure, after the underlying structure is removed a slight sharpening is found and discussed. Also at high pressure, we observe that the orientationally averaged structure of liquid bromine tends toward that of liquid chlorine at the same density.

We fabricated mono-dispersed β-quartz GeO2by microemulsion synthesis at room temperature. The obtained particles were 300 nm sized GeO2walnut and hollow waxberry shaped GeO2which were consisted of nanosphere with average size of 20 nm. The evolution of high pressure studies were devoted in a diamond anvil (DAC) cell by Angle Dispersed X-ray Diffraction (ADXD) at room temperature. A phase transformation of β-GeO2to amorphous GeO2was detected in walnut GeO2, while the waxberry GeO2was found to transform to monoclinic phase directly. It is strongly suggested that size effect played a key role in the high-pressure transformation from the amorphous and monoclinic phase. By fitting the compression data to the BirchMurnaghan equation of state, the bulk moduli of the walnut and waxberry shaped β-GeO2particles were determined to be 33±5, and 38±4 GPa with B0= 3, respectively.

The use of cryo-techniques for the preparation of biological specimens in electron microscopy has led to superior preservation of ultrastructural detail. Although these techniques have obvious advantages, a critical limitation is that only 10-40 μm thick cells and tissue layers can be frozen without the formation of distorting ice crystals. However, thicker samples (600 μm) may be frozen well by rapid freezing under high-pressure (2,100 bar). To date, most work using cryo-techniques on fungi have been confined to examining small, thin-walled structures. High-pressure freezing and freeze substitution are used here to analysis pre-germination stages of specialized, sexual spores (teliospores) of the plant pathogenic fungus Gymnosporangium clavipes C & P.Dormant teliospores were incubated in drops of water at room temperature (25°C) to break dormancy and stimulate germination. Spores were collected at approximately 30 min intervals after hydration so that early cytological changes associated with spore germination could be monitored. Prior to high-pressure freezing, the samples were incubated for 5-10 min in a 20% dextran solution for added cryoprotection during freezing. Forty to 50 spores were placed in specimen cups and holders and immediately frozen at high pressure using the Balzers HPM 010 apparatus.

An crystal-growth technique for single crystal x-ray structure analysis of high-pressure forms of hydrogen-bonded crystals is proposed. We used alcohol mixture (methanol: ethanol = 4:1 in volumetric ratio), which is a widely used pressure transmitting medium, inhibiting the nucleation and growth of unwanted crystals. In this paper, two kinds of single crystals which have not been obtained using a conventional experimental technique were obtained using this technique: ice VI at 1.99 GPa and MgCl<sub>2</sub>·7H<sub>2</sub>O at 2.50 GPa at room temperature. Here we first report the crystal structure of MgCl2·7H2O. This technique simultaneously meets the requirement of hydrostaticity for high-pressure experiments and has feasibility for further in-situ measurements.

Abstract RMI 6A1-4V ELI is an alpha-beta type of titanium-base alloy that can be strengthened by age hardening. In the mill-annealed condition it has a guaranteed minimum room-temperature yield strength of 120,000 psi and can be increased to as much as 160,000 psi by solution treating and aging. This alloy may be used for high-pressure cryogenic vessels down to 320 F. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, elasticity, tensile properties, and bend strength as well as fracture toughness. It also includes information on corrosion resistance as well as forming, heat treating, machining, joining, and surface treatment. Filing Code: Ti-89. Producer or source: RMI Company.

We report the first high-pressure spectroscopy study on Zn(IO3)2 using synchrotron far-infrared radiation. Spectroscopy was conducted up to pressures of 17 GPa at room temperature. Twenty-five phonons were identified below 600 cm−1 for the initial monoclinic low-pressure polymorph of Zn(IO3)2. The pressure response of the modes with wavenumbers above 150 cm−1 has been characterized, with modes exhibiting non-linear responses and frequency discontinuities that have been proposed to be related to the existence of phase transitions. Analysis of the high-pressure spectra acquired on compression indicates that Zn(IO3)2 undergoes subtle phase transitions around 3 and 8 GPa, followed by a more drastic transition around 13 GPa.

This work presents a study related to the grain refinement of an aluminum A2618 alloy achieved by High-Pressure Torsion (HPT) known as a process of Severe Plastic Deformation (SPD). The HPT is conducted on disks of the alloy under an applied pressure of 6 GPa for 1 and 5 turns with a rotation speed of 1 rpm at room temperature. The HPT processing leads to microstructural refinement with an average grain size of ~250 nm at a saturation level after 5 turns. Gradual increases in hardness are observed from the beginning of straining up to a saturation level. This study thus suggests that hardening due to grain refinement is attained by the HPT processing of the A2618 alloy at room temperature.

Selected hetaryl and aryl thioketones react with acetylenecarboxylates under thermal conditions in the presence of LiClO4 or, alternatively, under high-pressure conditions (5 kbar) at room temperature yielding thiopyran derivatives. The hetero-Diels–Alder reaction occurs in a chemo- and regioselective manner. The initially formed [4 + 2] cycloadducts rearrange via a 1,3-hydrogen shift sequence to give the final products. The latter were smoothly oxidized by treatment with mCPBA to the corresponding sulfones.
