A weak recrystallization texture was observed in the AA 3003 alloy annealed at 783 K due to the high annealing temperature. Under the same conditions, extremely high P {011 } ( 111 ) recrystallization textures were detected in the AA 3003 alloy added with 0. 39% Sc. Based on the EBSD results, no intensely preferential orientation nucleation of recrystallization grains was observed in the early stage of recrystallizafion for both alloys. However, concurrent precipitation strongly retarded the growth of recrystallization grains, except for P nucleation sites, thereby conferring an apparent initial growth advantage for P nucleation sites compared with other nucleation sites. Therefore, a sharp P {011 } 〈 111 〉 texture appeared in concurrently precipitated AA 3003 alloys.展开更多

The effects of minor Sc and Zr addition on microstructure, recrystallization and properties of alloys were studied by optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results show that Sc and Zr addition can refine grains of the as-cast alloy by precipitation of primary Al3(Sc,Zr) particles formed during solidification as heterogeneous nuclei. Secondary Al3(Sc,Zr) precipitates formed during homogenization treatment strongly pin the movement of dislocation and subgrain boundaries, which can effectively inhibit the alloys recrystallization. Compared with the alloy without Sc and Zr addition, the Al-Zn-Mg-Cu-Zr alloy with 0.05%Sc and 0.15%Zr shows the increase in tensile strength and yield strength by 172 MPa and 218 MPa, respectively. Strengthening comes from the contributions of precipitation, substructure and grain refining.展开更多

Except the as-cast variant, two other different homogenizations were considered, one gave a high density of fine dispersiods providing a considerable Zener drag influencing the softening behavior while the other gave a lower density of coarser dispersoid structure providing a much smaller drag effect. The gradual microstructural evolutions during annealing for the three variants were captured by interrupting annealing at different time. Effects of microchemistry state on recrystallization kinetics, recrystallized grain structure and texture were characterized by EBSD. It is demonstrated that the actual softening kinetics, final microstructure and texture are a result of delicate balance between processing condition and microchemistry state. Strong concurrent precipitation takes place in the case with high concentration of Mn in solid solution, which suppresses nucleation and retards recrystallization and finally leads to grain structure of coarse elongated grains dominated by a P texture component together with a ND-rotated cube component. On the contrary, when solute content of Mn is low and pre-existing dispersoids are relatively coarser, faster recrystallization kinetics is exhibited together with an equiaxed grain structure with mainly cube texture.展开更多

The results show that there is no difference between the strengths of two horizontal samples with grain sizes ranging from 1 to 4 mm and 4 to 14 mm, while the strength of the 1--4 mm vertical samples is 1.4 times higher than that of the 4--14 mm vertical samples because of the change of crystal structure. For different load- ing directions, the strengths of the horizontal samples do not differ from those of the vertical samples with the same grain sizes. The relation among the uniaxial compressive strength, strain rate and temperature was established through data analysis in both the ductile and brittle regions.展开更多

The newly developed GCaMP6 shows superior brightness and ultrasensitivity to calcium concentration change. In this study, we determined crystal structures of CaZ+-bound GCaMP6 monomer and dimer and presented detailed structural analyses in comparison with its par- ent version GCaMP5G. Our analyses reveal the structural basis for the outperformance of this newly developed Ca2+ indicator. Three substitution mutations and the resulting changes of local structure and interaction explain the ultrasensitivity and in- creased fluorescence intensity common to all three versions of GCaMP6. Each particular substitution in the three GCaMP6 is also structurally consistent with their differential sensitivity and intensity, maximizing the potential of using GCaMP6 in solving diverse problems in neuronal research and calcium signaling. Our studies shall also be beneficial to further structure-guided optimization of GCaMP and facilitate the design of novel calcium indicators.展开更多

Crystal structural analysis shows that in addition to van der Waals' forces, conventional N-H..-O hydrogen bonds are the key interactions. Measurements of unit cell parameters versus temperature show that the values of one of the three axes and the crystal volume change abruptly and remarkably at 220 K, indicating a first-order phase transition. The lack of the mirror plane in the low temperature structure is the most important differences between the two structural forms. Dif- ferential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurement confirms that I undergoes a reversible phase transition at about 220 K with a thermal hysteresis of 3.5 K. The relatively large latent heat makes 1 a good candidate for phase change materials. The phase transition is accompanied by an anomaly of dielectric constant during heating and cooling process near the phase transition temperature.展开更多

Molecular and crystal structures of 5,7-dihydro-5,5,7,7-tetrakis(1-methylethyl)bis[1]benzosilolo-[2,3-b:3', 2'-d]thiophene, 6-methyl-12,12-diisopropyl-12H-indololo[3,2-b][1]silafluorene, and 5,5,11,11-tetraisopropyl-5,11H-benzosilolo[3,2-c]silafluorene were determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. The UV absorption spectra of the (di)benzosilole derivafives in cyclohexane red-shifted when compared to 1,1-diisopropyldibenzosilole, indicating that replacing a benzene ring of dibenzosilole by the heterocycles as well as fusion of indole and benzosilole moieties onto dibenzosilole narrowed the HOMO- LUMO gaps of the n-conjugation system. The thiophene-fused benzosiloles were faintly fluorescent in solution and in the solid state, whereas the dibenzosiloles exhibited luminescence with moderate and high quantum yields in cyclohexane and in microcrystals, respectively. In other words, aggregation-induced emission was observed for the dibenzosiloles. Notably, 5,5,11,1 1- tetraisopropyl-5,11H-benzosilolo[3,2-c]silafluorene in microcrystals exhibited violet fluorescence (λmax = 396 nm) with a quantum yield of 0.70. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations of the prepared (di)benzosiloles were also performed.展开更多

文摘The effect of concurrent precipitation on recrystallization textures in AA 3003 aluminum alloys was investigated using X-ray diffraction and electron backscattering diffraction(EBSD) analyses. A weak recrystallization texture was observed in the AA 3003 alloy annealed at 783 K due to the high annealing temperature. Under the same conditions, extremely high P {011 } ( 111 ) recrystallization textures were detected in the AA 3003 alloy added with 0. 39% Sc. Based on the EBSD results, no intensely preferential orientation nucleation of recrystallization grains was observed in the early stage of recrystallizafion for both alloys. However, concurrent precipitation strongly retarded the growth of recrystallization grains, except for P nucleation sites, thereby conferring an apparent initial growth advantage for P nucleation sites compared with other nucleation sites. Therefore, a sharp P {011 } 〈 111 〉 texture appeared in concurrently precipitated AA 3003 alloys.

These results clearly show the significance of PZN in controlling the electrical responses of the PMF-PZN-PZT system.

文摘The crystal structure of 1,4,8,11,15,18,22,25-octa-butyloxyphthalocyanine was determined by X-ray diffraction methods. The crystal is of triclinic, space group P 1 with a = 14.0780(3), b = 14.3480(4), c = 17.0090(2) A, α = 72.156(2), β = 86.193(2), r= 73.655(2)°, C64H82N8O8, Mr = 1091.38, Z = 2, V = 3137.5(1) A3, Dc= 1.155 g/cm3, F(000) = 1172, μ(MoKα) = 0.077 mm-1, the final R = 0.0787 and wR = 0.2240 for 5795 observed reflections with I ≥ 2σ(I). The steric congestion between the neighboring butyloxy groups distorts the core of phthalocyanine into a saddle shape conformation. In the crystal lattice, molecules overlap to each other with π-π interaction but the extent of overlap is different along the three axial directions.

文摘Terms of synthesis were defined for the creation of new generation chelate fertilizers and for their experimental testing. Glutamine acid and citric acid containing chelate citrates of the general formulae M.gI.HL'nHO were synthesized, where, M = Mn, Zn, Fe, Co, Cu; n = 0; 1; 1.5; gl-glutamine acid; HL-citric acid anion. Identity and composition of synthesized compounds were determined by microelemental analysis, melting temperature and X-ray diffraction analysis. X-ray diffraction analysis of the compounds and glutamine acid and citric acid (H4L) was used to determine their crystalline structure and roentgen-amorphous and iso-structural orders. Their solubility was studied in various solvents.
文摘ALG-2(a gene product of PDCD6) is a 22-kD protein containing five serially repetitive EF-hand structures and belongs to the penta-EF-hand(PEF) family,including the subunits of typical calpains.ALG-2 is the most conserved protein among the PEF family members and its homologs are widely found in eukaryotes.X-ray crystal structures of various PEF proteins including ALG-2 have common features:presence of eightα-helices and dimer formation via paired EF5s that are positioned in anti-parallel orientation.ALG-2 forms a homodimer and a heterodimer with its closest paralog peflin.Like calmodulin,a well-known four-EF-hand protein,ALG-2 interacts with various proteins in a Ca2+-dependent fashion,but the binding motifs are completely different.With some exceptions,ALG-2-interacting proteins commonly contain Pro-rich regions,and ALG-2 recognizes at least two distinct Pro-containing motifs:PPYP(X) nYP(X,variable;n=4 in ALIX and PLSCR3) and PXPGF(represented by Sec31A) .A shorter alternatively spliced isoform,lacking two residues and designated ALG-2 GF122,does not bind ALIX but maintains binding capacity to Sec31A.X-ray crystal structural analyses have revealed that binding of calcium ions induces the configuration of the side chain of R125 so that it opens Pocket 1,which accepts PPYP,but Pocket 1 remains closed in the case of ALG-2 GF122.ALG-2 dimer has two ligand-binding sites,each in a monomer molecule,and appears to function as a Ca2+-dependent adaptor protein to either stabilize a preformed complex or to bridge two proteins on scaffolds in systems of the endosomal sorting complex required for transport(ESCRT) and ER-to-Golgi transport.

文摘Reaction of Zn(NO3)2.6H2O with 5-(isonicotinamido) isophthalic acid(H2INAIP) in N,N-dimethylformamide(DMF) affords a new three-dimensional(3D) coordination polymer {[Zn(INAIP)(DMF)].0.5DMF.4H2O}n(1).The X-ray crystallographic structural analysis reveals that complex 1 is a 3D porous framework containing a potential open metal site inside the pores.Topology analysis confirms that complex 1 is a two-fold interpenetrated(10,3)-b net with both metal ion and ligand acting as 3-connecting nodes.The thermal stability,variable temperature X-ray diffraction pattern and N2 adsorption property of the complex are investigated.

文摘GCaMP is one of the most widely used calcium indicators in neuronal imaging and calcium cell biology. The newly developed GCaMP6 shows superior brightness and ultrasensitivity to calcium concentration change. In this study, we determined crystal structures of CaZ+-bound GCaMP6 monomer and dimer and presented detailed structural analyses in comparison with its par- ent version GCaMP5G. Our analyses reveal the structural basis for the outperformance of this newly developed Ca2+ indicator. Three substitution mutations and the resulting changes of local structure and interaction explain the ultrasensitivity and in- creased fluorescence intensity common to all three versions of GCaMP6. Each particular substitution in the three GCaMP6 is also structurally consistent with their differential sensitivity and intensity, maximizing the potential of using GCaMP6 in solving diverse problems in neuronal research and calcium signaling. Our studies shall also be beneficial to further structure-guided optimization of GCaMP and facilitate the design of novel calcium indicators.

文摘Solid-state structure of the crystalline 1:1 complex [C3H10N(18-crown-6)]+[I3] (1) between 18-crown-6 and n-propylammonium triiodide has been determined at 293 and 93 K, respectively, showing a change from monoclinic P21/m to monoclinic P21/a. Crystal structural analysis shows that in addition to van der Waals' forces, conventional N-H..-O hydrogen bonds are the key interactions. Measurements of unit cell parameters versus temperature show that the values of one of the three axes and the crystal volume change abruptly and remarkably at 220 K, indicating a first-order phase transition. The lack of the mirror plane in the low temperature structure is the most important differences between the two structural forms. Dif- ferential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurement confirms that I undergoes a reversible phase transition at about 220 K with a thermal hysteresis of 3.5 K. The relatively large latent heat makes 1 a good candidate for phase change materials. The phase transition is accompanied by an anomaly of dielectric constant during heating and cooling process near the phase transition temperature.

文摘Benzosiloles fused to heterocycles such as thiophene, benzothiophene, and benzofuran, and indole- and benzosilole-fused dibenzosiloles were prepared by palladium-catalyzed intramolecular coupling of the corresponding 2-(arylsilyl)aryl triflates in good to high yields. Molecular and crystal structures of 5,7-dihydro-5,5,7,7-tetrakis(1-methylethyl)bis[1]benzosilolo-[2,3-b:3', 2'-d]thiophene, 6-methyl-12,12-diisopropyl-12H-indololo[3,2-b][1]silafluorene, and 5,5,11,11-tetraisopropyl-5,11H-benzosilolo[3,2-c]silafluorene were determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. The UV absorption spectra of the (di)benzosilole derivafives in cyclohexane red-shifted when compared to 1,1-diisopropyldibenzosilole, indicating that replacing a benzene ring of dibenzosilole by the heterocycles as well as fusion of indole and benzosilole moieties onto dibenzosilole narrowed the HOMO- LUMO gaps of the n-conjugation system. The thiophene-fused benzosiloles were faintly fluorescent in solution and in the solid state, whereas the dibenzosiloles exhibited luminescence with moderate and high quantum yields in cyclohexane and in microcrystals, respectively. In other words, aggregation-induced emission was observed for the dibenzosiloles. Notably, 5,5,11,1 1- tetraisopropyl-5,11H-benzosilolo[3,2-c]silafluorene in microcrystals exhibited violet fluorescence (λmax = 396 nm) with a quantum yield of 0.70. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations of the prepared (di)benzosiloles were also performed.
