Download or read book High Pressure Crystallography written by Andrzej Katrusiak and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2004-03-31 with total page 574 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the tremendous advances in the techniques and equipment for carrying out high-pressure crystallography, the application or exploration of the high-pressure variable in detailed structural studies remains rare. The chapters in this book provide a set of lecture notes and supplementary material for a course on high pressure crystallography. The material comprises state-of-the-art reviews of high-pressure experiments using X-ray and neutron diffraction techniques at synchrotron and neutron facilities and in the laboratory, as well as complementary experimental high-pressure techniques and theoretical methods for investigating matter at elevated pressures. The materials studies range from elemental solids and liquids to inorganic compounds, minerals, organic compounds, clathrates and pharmaceutical compounds, to large biological molecules such as proteins and viruses. The book provides a reference for workers in high-pressure science wishing to learn more about crystallography and for established crystallographers potentially interested in high pressure as a variable, as well as an introductory guide to new researchers in the field.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Novel Mechanisms of Superconductivity Conference was initially conceived in the early part of 1986 as a small, 2-1/2 day workshop of 40-70 scientists, both theorists and experimentalists interested in exploring the possible evidence for exotic, non phononic superconductivity. Of course, the historic discoveries of high temperature oxide superconductors by Bednorz and Mftller and the subsequent enhancements by the Houston/Alabama groups made such a small conference impractical. The conference necessarily had to expand, 2-1/2 days became 4-1/2 days and superconductivity in the high Tc oxides became the largest single topic in the workshop. In fact, this conference became the first major conference on this topic and thus, these proceedings are also the first maj or publication. However, heavy fermion, organic and low carrier concentration superconductors remained a very important part of this workshop and articles by the leaders in these fields are included in these proceedings. Ultimately the workshop hosted rearly 400 scientists, students and media including representatives from the maj or research groups in the U.S., Europe, Japan and the Soviet Union.

Download or read book Theoretical Methods in Condensed Phase Chemistry written by S.D. Schwartz and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-04-11 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is meant to provide a window on the rapidly growing body of theoretical studies of condensed phase chemistry. A brief perusal of physical chemistry journals in the early to mid 1980’s will find a large number of theor- ical papers devoted to 3-body gas phase chemical reaction dynamics. The recent history of theoretical chemistry has seen an explosion of progress in the devel- ment of methods to study similar properties of systems with Avogadro’s number of particles. While the physical properties of condensed phase systems have long been principle targets of statistical mechanics, microscopic dynamic theories that start from detailed interaction potentials and build to first principles predictions of properties are now maturing at an extraordinary rate. The techniques in use range from classical studies of new Generalized Langevin Equations, semicl- sical studies for non-adiabatic chemical reactions in condensed phase, mixed quantum classical studies of biological systems, to fully quantum studies of m- els of condensed phase environments. These techniques have become sufficiently sophisticated, that theoretical prediction of behavior in actual condensed phase environments is now possible. and in some cases, theory is driving development in experiment. The authors and chapters in this book have been chosen to represent a wide variety in the current approaches to the theoretical chemistry of condensed phase systems. I have attempted a number of groupings of the chapters, but the - versity of the work always seems to frustrate entirely consistent grouping.

Download or read book Structural Chemistry of Silicates written by F. Liebau and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As natural minerals, silica and silicates constitute by far the largest part of the earth's crust and mantle. They are equally important as raw materials and as mass produced items. For this reason they have been the subject of scientific research by geoscientists as well as by applied scientists in cement, ceramic, glass, and other industries. Moreover, intensive fun damental research on silicates has been carried out for many years because silicates are, due to their enormous variability, ideally suited for the study of general chemical and crystallographic principles. Several excellent books on mineralogy and cement, ceramics, glass, etc. give brief, usually descriptive synopses of the structure of silicates, but do not contain detailed discussions of their structural chemistry. A number of monographs on special groups of silicates, such as the micas and clay min erals, amphiboles, feldspars, and zeolites have been published which con tain more crystal chemical information. However, no modern text has been published which is devoted to the structural chemistry of silicates as a whole. Within the last 2 decades experimental and theoretical methods have been so much improved to the extent that not only have a large number of silicate structures been accurately determined, but also a better under standing has been obtained of the correlation between the chemical composition of a silicate and its structure. Therefore, the time has been reached when a modern review of the structural chemistry of silicates has become necessary.
Download or read book The Effect of High Pressure on Crystal Structure Topology written by Peter Andrew Wood and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis describes the effects of the application of high pressure to single crystals of small organic compounds. A range of different structural analysis techniques have been used with the emphasis on whole molecule interactions rather than atom-atom contacts. A study of the effect of pressure on the crystal structure of salicylaldoxime showed that the size of a pseudo-macrocyclic cavity within the structure is tuneable by compression. This cavity determines the reactivity of salicylaldoxime as a ligand, when deprotonated it is known to preferentially bind Cu 2+ ions over other cations in a bis(salicylaldoximato) complex due to the compatibility between the cavity size and the ionic radius of Cu 2+. Further compression studies on a range of substituted salicylaldoximes with different ambient cavity sizes showed that the application of pressure consistently decreases the cavity size across the whole series. Variation of substituent and the pressure yields cavities which span the covalent radii of many of the 1st transition series metal dications. This should allow the selectivity of metal extraction to be tuned using pressure. Computational studies of lattice energies and conformational energies in the compression studies of L-serine and 3-aza-bicyclo(3.3.1)nonane-2,4-dione have shown that significant molecular distortions can occur during compression of a crystal structure below 10 GPa. L-serine shows different conformations between phases with an energy difference of 40 kJ mol-1, whereas the conformation of 3-aza-bicyclo(3.3.1)nonane-2,4-dione is seen to distort within the same phase. Analysis of a database of compression studies using Hirshfeld surfaces has highlighted the fact that all different types of intermolecular interaction have a lower limit for compression, at least in the pressure regime below 10 GPa. These studies, along with theoretical calculations, have suggested a lower distance limit for H...H contacts of 1.7 A. This is potentially very useful for prediction of the effects of compression as H...H contacts are almost universal across small organic crystal structures.
