Abstract The 6H-perovskites Ba3RRu2O9 (R = rare earth element) demonstrate the magnetodielectric (MD) coupling as a manifestation of 4d - 4f magnetic interactions. Here, we have reported a detailed study of the structural, magnetic, heat capacity, and MD properties of the 6H-perovskite Ba3GdRu2O9. The signature of long-range antiferromagnetic (AFM) ordering at ~14.8 K (TN) is evident from the magnetization and heat capacity studies. The TN shifts towards the lower temperature side, apart from splitting in two with the application of the magnetic field. Field-dependent magnetization at 2 K shows three metamagnetic transitions with the opening of small hysteresis in different regions. A new transition at T1 emerges after the onset of the first metamagnetic transition. Complex magnetic behavior is observed in different magnetic field regions whereas these field regions themselves vary with the temperature. Dielectric response recorded at zero and 80 kOe field exhibits the development of MD coupling well above TN. The MD coupling (~ 4.5 % at 10 K) is enhanced by 25 % as compared to the Dy counterpart. Effect of complex magnetic behavior is also conveyed in the MD results where the maximum value of MD coupling is observed in the vicinity of 10 K (onset of T1) and near the second metamagnetic transition. Our investigation suggests that both Gd and Ru moments align simultaneously at TN. Short-range magnetic correlations are possibly responsible for MD coupling above TN.

Disposal Problem

Silicon tetrachloride, used in industry for the production of highest purity silicon and silica, is customarily manufactured from silica-sand and charcoal.SiCl4 can also be made from rice hulls, which contain up to 20 percent silica and only traces of other mineral matter. Hulls, after carbonization, actually prove superior as a starting material since they react at lower temperature. This use of rice hulls may offer a new, profitable solution for a rice mill byproduct disposal problem.In studies of the reaction kinetics with carbonized hulls, conversion of SiO2 to SiCl4 was found to proceed within a few minutes to a constant, limited yield which depended reproducibly on the ambient temperature of the reactor. See Fig. 1. This suggested that physical or chemical heterogeneity of the silica in the hull structure might be involved.

Understanding the surface properties of cellulose materials is important for proper commercial applications. The effect of particle size, particle morphology, and hydroxyl number on the surface energy of three microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) preparations and one nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC) preparation were investigated using inverse gas chromatography at column temperatures ranging from 30ºC to 60ºC. The mean particle sizes for the three MCC samples and the NFC sample were 120.1, 62.3, 13.9, and 9.3 μm. The corresponding dispersion components of surface energy at 30°C were 55.7 ± 0.1, 59.7 ± 1.3, 71.7 ± 1.0, and 57.4 ± 0.3 mJ/m2. MCC samples are agglomerates of small individual cellulose particles. The different particle sizes and morphologies of the three MCC samples resulted in various hydroxyl numbers, which in turn affected their dispersion component of surface energy. Cellulose samples exhibiting a higher hydroxyl number have a higher dispersion component of surface energy. The dispersion component of surface energy of all the cellulose samples decreased linearly with increasing temperature. MCC samples with larger agglomerates had a lower temperature coefficient of dispersion component of surface energy.

Sturm Liouville

The Sturm-Liouville problem with various types of two-point boundary conditions is considered in this paper. In the first part of the paper, we investigate the Sturm-Liouville problem in three cases of nonlocal two-point boundary conditions. We prove general properties of the eigenfunctions and eigenvalues for such a problem in the complex case. In the second part, we investigate the case of real eigenvalues. It is analyzed how the spectrum of these problems depends on the boundary condition parameters. Qualitative behavior of all eigenvalues subject to the nonlocal boundary condition parameters is described.

Two Stages

The process of crystalline silicon phase formation in tin-doped amorphous silicon (a-SiSn) films has been studied. The inclusions of metallic tin are shown to play a key role in the crystallization of researched a-SiSn specimens with Sn contents of 1–10 at% at temperatures of 300–500 ∘C. The crystallization process can conditionally be divided into two stages. At the first stage, the formation of metallic tin inclusions occurs in the bulk of as-precipitated films owing to the diffusion of tin atoms in the amorphous silicon matrix. At the second stage, the formation of the nanocrystalline phase of silicon occurs as a result of the motion of silicon atoms from the amorphous phase to the crystalline one through the formed metallic tin inclusions. The presence of the latter ensures the formation of silicon crystallites at a much lower temperature than the solid-phase recrystallization temperature (about 750 ∘C). A possibility for a relation to exist between the sizes of growing silicon nanocrystallites and metallic tin inclusions favoring the formation of nanocrystallites has been analyzed.
