Structure of Dense Liquid Water by Neutron Scattering to 6.5 GPa and 670 K
Abstract
We present a neutron diffraction study of liquid water to 6.5 GPa and 670 K. From the measured structure factors we determine radial and angular distributions. It is shown that with increasing density water approaches a local structure common to a simple liquid while distorting only a little the tetrahedral first-neighbor coordination imposed by hydrogen bonds that remain intact.

Phase relations in the K{sub 2}W{sub 2}O{sub 7}-K{sub 2}WO{sub 4}-KPO{sub 3}-Bi{sub 2}O{sub 3} system and structure of K{sub 6.5}Bi{sub 2.5}W{sub 4}P{sub 6}O{sub 34}
The phase relations in the cross-section of the K{sub 2}W{sub 2}O{sub 7}-K{sub 2}WO{sub 4}-KPO{sub 3} containing 15 mol% Bi{sub 2}O{sub 3} were undertaken using flux method. Crystallization fields of K{sub 6.5}Bi{sub 2.5}W{sub 4}P{sub 6}O{sub 34}, K{sub 2}Bi(PO{sub 4})(WO{sub 4}), Bi{sub 2}WO{sub 6}, KBi(WO{sub 4}){sub 2} and their cocrystallization areas were identified. Novel phase K{sub 6.5}Bi{sub 2.5}W{sub 4}P{sub 6}O{sub 34} was characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction: sp. gr. P-1, a=9.4170(5), b=9.7166(4), c=17.6050(7) A, {alpha}=90.052(5){sup o}, {beta}=103.880(5){sup o} and {gamma}=90.125(5){sup o}. It has a layered structure, which contains {l_brace}K{sub 7}Bi{sub 5}W{sub 8}P{sub 12}O{sub 68}{r_brace}{sub {infinity}} layers stacked parallel to ab plane andmore » -
MoSi 2 Oxidation in 670-1498 K Water Vapor
Molybdenum disilicide (MoSi 2) has well documented oxidation resistance at high temperature (T > 1273 K) in dry O 2 containing atmospheres due to the formation of a passive SiO 2 surface layer. But, its behavior under atmospheres where water vapor is the dominant species has received far less attention. Oxidation testing of MoSi 2 was performed at temperatures ranging from 670–1498 K in both 75% water vapor and synthetic air (Ar-O2, 80%–20%) containing atmospheres. Here the thermogravimetric and microscopy data describing these phenomena are presented. Over the temperature range investigated, MoSi 2 displays more mass gain in water vapormore »Cited by 1 -

A preliminary neutron crystallographic study of proteinase K at pD 6.5
AbstractA preliminary neutron crystallographic study of the proteolytic enzyme proteinase K is presented. Large hydrogenated crystals were prepared in deuterated crystallization buffer using the vapour-diffusion method. Data were collected to a resolution of 2.3 on the LADI-III diffractometer at the Institut Laue Langevin (ILL) in 2.5 days. The results demonstrate the feasibility of a full neutron crystallographic analysis of this structure aimed at providing relevant information on the location of H atoms, particularly at the active site. This information will contribute to further understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying proteinase K's catalytic activity and to an enriched understanding of themore »
