Phase Transitions in Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework 7: The Importance of Framework Flexibility and Guest-Induced Instability
Pu Zhao,Giulio I. Lampronti,Gareth O. Lloyd,Michael T. Wharmby,Sébastien P. Facq,Anthony K. Cheetham,Simon A. T. Redfern +6 more
TL;DR: It is of great significance to understand potential structural phase transitions since they strongly affect ZIF’s’ structurally-related sorption and mechanical properties, which are essential to ZIFs-based technology innovations and industrial applications.

Synthesis and properties of colloidal lanthanide-doped nanocrystals
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used TEM, powder-XRD, absorption spectroscopy and luminescence spectra of europium-doped samples to verify that the dopant ions entered the same lattice sites as in the corresponding bulk material.

Load partitioning in aluminum syntactic foams containing ceramic microspheres
Dorian K. Balch,David C. Dunand +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, syntactic foams were fabricated by pressure-infiltrating liquid aluminum (commercial purity and 7075-Al) into a packed preform of silica-mullite hollow microspheres.

Enhancement of discharge capacity of Li3V2(PO4)3 by stabilizing the orthorhombic phase at room temperature
TL;DR: Li 3 V 2 (PO 4 ) 3 and solid solutions of Li 3−2 x (V 1− x Zr x ) 2(PO 4 )) 3 were prepared by a solid state reaction as discussed by the authors and showed a cathode performance with two well defined regions of plateau at around 3.6 and 4.0 V vs. Li/Li + upon discharging.

Rietveld structure refinement of precipitated carbonate apatite using neutron diffraction data
TL;DR: X-ray and time of flight neutron diffraction data, FTIR and MAS-NMR spectra, and ICP-AES and carbonate analyses have been collected from a sodium-containing carbonate apatite, showing an apparent reduction in the PO(4) tetrahedral volume.
