Ba(11)La(4)Br(34): a new barium lanthanum bromide.

ABSTRACT: The structure of the title compound, barium lanthanum bromide (11/4/34), can be derived from the fluorite structure. The asymmetric unit contains two Ba sites (one with site symmetry 4/m..), one La site (site symmetry 4..), one mixed-occupied Ba and La site (ratio 1:1, site symmetry m..) and six Br sites (one with site symmetry \=4.., one with 2.., one with m.., the latter being disordered over two positions with a 0.86:0.14 ratio). The fundamental building units of the structure are edge-sharing polyhedral clusters made up of Ba and La bromide clusters inter-connected to BaBr(8) square prisms and BaBr(10) groups.

Barium bioaccumulation by bacterial biofilms and implications for Ba cycling and use of Ba proxies.

Project description:Ba proxies have been broadly used to reconstruct past oceanic export production. However, the precise mechanisms underlying barite precipitation in undersaturated seawater are not known. The link between bacterial production and particulate Ba in the ocean suggests that bacteria may play a role. Here we show that under experimental conditions marine bacterial biofilms, particularly extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), are capable of bioaccumulating Ba, providing adequate conditions for barite precipitation. An amorphous P-rich phase is formed at the initial stages of Ba bioaccumulation, which evolves into barite crystals. This supports that in high productivity regions where large amounts of organic matter are subjected to bacterial degradation, the abundant EPS would serve to bind the necessary Ba and form nucleation sites leading to barite precipitation. This also provides new insights into barite precipitation and opens an exciting field to explore the role of EPS in mineral precipitation in the ocean.

The lanthanum(III) molybdate(VI) La(4)Mo(7)O(27).

Project description:Crystals of the ortho-rhom-bic phase La(4)Mo(7)O(27) (lanthanum molybdenum oxide) were obtained from a non-stoichiometric melt in the pseudo-ternary system La(2)O(3)-MoO(3)-B(2)O(3). In the crystal structure, distorted square-anti-prismatic [LaO(8)] and monocapped square-anti-prismatic [LaO(9)] polyhedra are connected via common edges and faces into chains along [010]. These chains are arranged in layers that alternate with layers of [MoO(4)] and [MoO(5)] polyhedra parallel to (001). In the molybdate layers, a distorted [MoO(5)] trigonal bipyramid is axially connected to two [MoO(4)] tetra-hedra, forming a [Mo(3)O(11)] unit.

Bromide (Br)--Based Synthesis of Ag Nanocubes with High-Yield.

Project description:The geometry of metal nanoparticles greatly affects the properties of the localized surface plasmon resonance and surface-enhanced Raman scattering. The synthesis of metal nanoparticles with controllable geometry has thus attracted extensive attentions. In this work, we report a modified polyol synthesis approach of silver (Ag) nanocubes through tuning the concentration of bromide ions (Br(-) ions). We have systematically investigated the effect of Br(-) ions in the polyol process, and find that higher concentration of Br(-) ions can enhance oxidative etching effect, which is the dominative factor in determining nanostructure geometry. Therefore, one can realize control over nanostructure geometry by manipulating the concentration of Br(-) ions. Our work provides an effective approach to control the shape of metallic nanostructures for potential applications.

Neutralization escape of Omicron XBB, BR.2, and BA.2.3.20 subvariants.

Project description:New Omicron subvariants continue to emerge throughout the world. In particular, the XBB subvariant, which is a recombinant virus between BA.2.10.1.1 and BA.2.75.3.1.1.1, as well as the BA.2.3.20 and BR.2 subvariants that contain mutations distinct from BA.2 and BA.2.75, are currently increasing in proportion of variants sequenced. Here we show that antibodies induced by 3-dose mRNA booster vaccination as well as BA.1- and BA.4/5-wave infection effectively neutralize BA.2, BR.2, and BA.2.3.20 but have significantly reduced efficiency against XBB. In addition, the BA.2.3.20 subvariant exhibits enhanced infectivity in the lung-derived CaLu-3 cells and in 293T-ACE2 cells. Overall, our results demonstrate that the XBB subvariant is highly neutralization resistant, which highlights the need for continued monitoring of the immune escape and tissue tropism of emerging Omicron subvariants.

The defect scheelite-type lanthanum(III) ortho-oxidomolybdate(VI) La(0.667)[MoO(4)].

Project description:In scheelite-type La(0.667)[MoO(4)], one crystallographically unique position with site symmetry -4.. and an occupancy of 2/3 is found for the La(3+) cation. The cation is surrounded by eight O atoms in the shape of a trigonal dodeca-hedron. The structure also contains one [MoO(4)](2-) anion (site symmetry -4..), which is surrounded by eight vertex-attached La(3+) cations. The polyhedra around the La(3+) cations are inter-connected via common edges, building up a three-dimensional network, in the tetra-hedral voids of which the Mo(6+) cations reside.

Perovskite Lanthanum-Doped Barium Stannate: A Refractory Near-Zero-Index Material for High-Temperature Energy Harvesting Systems.

Project description:The recent interests in bridging intriguing optical phenomena and thermal energy management has led to the demonstration of controlling thermal radiation with epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) and the related near-zero-index (NZI) optical media. In particular, the manipulation of thermal emission using phononic ENZ and NZI materials has shown promise in mid-infrared radiative cooling systems operating under low-temperature environments (below 100 °C). However, the absence of NZI materials capable of withstanding high temperatures has limited the spectral extension of these advanced technologies to the near-infrared (NIR) regime. Herein, a perovskite conducting oxide, lanthanum-doped barium stannate (La:BaSnO3 [LBSO]), as a refractory NZI material well suited for engineering NIR thermal emission is proposed. This work focuses on the experimental demonstration of superior high-temperature stability (of at least 1000 °C) of LBSO films in air and its durability under intense UV-pulsed laser irradiation below peak power of 9 MW cm-2 . Based on the low optical-loss in LBSO, a selective narrow-band thermal emission utilizing a metal-insulator-metal (MIM) Fabry-Pérot nanocavity consisting of LBSO films as metallic component is demonstrated. This study shows that LBSO is an ideal candidate as a refractory NZI component for thermal energy conversion operating at high temperatures in air and under strong light irradiations.

Oesophageal IGRT considerations for SBRT of LA-NSCLC: barium-enhanced CBCT and interfraction motion.

Project description:BackgroundTo determine the optimal volume of barium for oesophageal localisation on cone-beam CT (CBCT) for locally-advanced non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC) and quantify the interfraction oesophageal movement relative to tumour.MethodsTwenty NSCLC patients with mediastinal and/or hilar disease receiving radical radiotherapy were recruited. The first five patients received 25 ml of barium prior to their planning CT and alternate CBCTs during treatment. Subsequent five patient cohorts, received 15 ml, 10 ml and 5 ml. Six observers contoured the oesophagus on each of the 107 datasets and consensus contours were created. Overall 642 observer contours were generated and interobserver contouring reproducibility was assessed. The kappa statistic, dice coefficient and Hausdorff Distance (HD) were used to compare barium-enhanced CBCTs and non-enhanced CBCTs. Oesophageal displacement was assessed using the HD between consensus contours of barium-enhanced CBCTs and planning CTs.ResultsInterobserver contouring reproducibility was significantly improved in barium-enhanced CBCTs compared to non-contrast CBCTs with minimal difference between barium dose levels. Only 10 mL produced a significantly higher kappa (0.814, p = 0.008) and dice (0.895, p = 0.001). The poorer the reproducibility without barium, the greater the improvement barium provided. The median interfraction HD between consensus contours was 4 mm, with 95% of the oesophageal displacement within 15 mm.Conclusions10 mL of barium significantly improves oesophageal localisation on CBCT with minimal image artifact. The oesophagus moves substantially and unpredictably over a course of treatment, requiring close daily monitoring in the context of hypofractionation.
