From molecules to frameworks: Variable dimensionality in the UO2(CH3COO)(2)center dot 2H(2)O/HF(aq)/piperazine system. Syntheses, structures, and characterization of zero-dimension... by Walker, S, Halasyamani, P, Allen, S, O'Hare, D

“…The one-dimensional phase, (C4N2H12)2U2F12 · H2O (UFO-9), is built up from chains of uranium(IV), coordinated by eight fluorine atoms, whereas the two-dimensional compound, (C4N2H12)2(U2O4F5)4 · 11H2O(UFO-10), contains layers of fluorine bridged uranium(VI) pentagonal bipyramids. The framework material, (C4N2H12)U2O4F6 (MUF-1), is built up from edge-shared [UO2F5] dimers that are comer linked, forming three intersecting one-dimensional channels. …”

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and radiation shielding parameters investigations for zinc molybdenum borotellurite glasses containing different network modifiers by Lakshminarayana, G., Omar Baki, Sharudin, Lira, A., Sayyed, M. I., Kityk, I. V., Mohamed Kamari, Halimah, Mahdi, Mohd Adzir

“…The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) studies allow to monitor the structural modifications leading to the formation of bridging oxygens (Te–O–Te, B–O–B, Mo–O–Mo, and Te–O–Mo bonds) and nonbridging oxygens (Te = O, Te–O−M+, Mo–O− bonds in the MoO6 octahedral units, Zn–O bonds from ZnO4) with the addition of alkali (Li, Na, and K), alkaline (Mg, Ca), or heavy metal (Pb) oxides. …”

Synthesis, structural and optical properties of cobalt (II) doped zinc silicate via sol-gel method by Mohd Rasdi, Norhafizah

“…Meanwhile, as the dopant increases the band gap tends to decrease due to the involvement of non-bridging oxygen in the sample particle. The emission of photoluminescence spectra of cobalt doped zinc silicate powder after the sample was excited at a wavelength of 350 nm shows emission at 3 different peaks which were two blue emissions (420 and 480 nm) and green emission (525 nm). …”

Modified strut-and-tie models for reinforced concrete deep beams with externally bonded CFRP systems by Hanoon, Ammar Nasiri

“…Reinforced concrete (RC) deep beams can be defined as the main structural component used in buildings and bridges to transfer heavy loads. Due to their relatively low shear span to depth ratio (less than 2.0), a linear strain distribution cannot be applied, thus there is a need for a rational model to address this nonlinearity. …”
