AbstractThe thermodynamics and kinetics of CO2 speciation in silicate melts have been studied by measuring the concentration of CO2mol and carbonate in jadeite glass annealed at 575, 450 and 400°C. Assuming that the reaction is1where CO2mol..Obr represents a CO2 molecule weakly bonded to a bridging oxygen in the network and CO3 represents a bridging carbonate group with no net negative charge, ΔH for the reaction is –17 (+4/–8) kJ mol−1 and ΔS is –24 (+6/–9) J K−1 mol−1. The rate of equilibration of the species was measured at each temperature and the rate constants were deduced. The temperature dependence of the rate constants was used to determine the activation energy of the forward and reverse reactions which are 68 (+3/–31) kJ mol−1 and 86 (+1/–69) kJ mol−1 respectively. The data suggest that CO2mol may be much more abundant in silicate melts than previously assumed on the basis of studies of CO2-bearing glasses. Models of solubility, diffusion, and isotope fractionation should take this into account.

ABSTRACTHydrous manganese dioxide films are being investigated as a new redox material for the active surface of intracortical stimulation electrodes. The films are electrodeposited at room temperature on Pt substrates from a neutral solution of manganese acetate. The electrochemical properties of the films have been evaluated by cyclic voltammetry in neutral saline solutions buffered with bicarbonate. The films undergo a reversible charge injection reaction represented asThe results obtained in electrolytes of different buffer concentrations indicate the film is able to store the most charge in solutions having the lowest buffer capacity. The kinetics of the redox reaction thus favor operation in an acidic or basic environment in agreement with earlier published results. Two different mechanisms are proposed to explain the rate enhancement at the different pH's. In acidic electrolytes the reaction proceeds by dissolution of the film, while in alkaline solutions the rate determining step of proton diffusion in the solid film is increased. For neural stimulation, therefore, electrodes with manganese dioxide films should be pulsed cathodically to insure a neutral or alkaline environment around the electrode and minimize dissolution of the film.

AbstractAn investigation of the acid-leaching of a calcined kaolin was made to compare the reaction kinetics of hydrochloric, nitric, and sulphuric acids. The acid concentrations used were 5·9 and 8·6 normal. Reaction temperatures used were 95°, 80° and 60° C.Particular attention was given to finding a reaction equation which would mathematically represent the kinetic data. A nucleation rate equation of the general form, was found to represent these data. Values of m varied from 1·10 to 1·55 depending on the experimental conditions.Under the conditions employed the rate of alumina leaching is fastest with hydrochloric acid, slower with sulphuric acid, and slowest with nitric acid. The rate controlling steps are proposed from the experimental evidence.

The observation of photoluminescence and electroluminescence in Si nanocrystals has generated renewed interest in these novel silicon based materials for their possible application as light emitters and detectors. Silicon Rich Oxide (SRO) films with a uniform dispersion of silicon nanocrystallites in a wider bandgap SiO2 matrix manifest electroluminescence and photoluminescence in the infrared and visible portions of the spectrum. Understanding the nucleation and growth kinetics of these crystallites in amorphous matrix is of critical importance in the fabrication of future optoelectronic devices. One route to the fabrication of Si nanocrystals is by the crystallization of amorphous SiO2-x. Consider the case when x=1. The reaction leading to the formation of Si crystallites can be written as;(1)The nucleation, growth and coarsening processes of Si nanocrystals each require bulk diffusion of Si atoms through the amorphous matrix.

ABSTRACTThe spreading of molten 60Sn40Pb drops on higher melting point Pb-Sn alloy substrates (3 to 10 wt.% Sn) was investigated for reflow temperatures of 205° to 300°C. Following melting the drop assumed the form of a slightly flared, spherical cap with some penetration into the substrate beneath the contact area. The effects of time and temperature on the contact angle θ and the depth of penetration h were of the formwhere the apparent activation energy Q was 4.2 kcal/mole for θ and 16 kcal/mole for h. The time exponent m (negative for θ and positive for h) decreased with temperature from ∼ 0.2–0.3 at 205°C to ∼0.05 at 260° and then increased again at higher temperatures. The magnitude of Q for θ is in accord with that for the viscosity of molten Pb-Sn alloys and that for h with a combined liquid-solid diffusion involved in the dissolution. Further work is however needed to identify unequivocally the mechanisms which govern the wetting in these duplex Pb-Sn alloy systems.
