Influence of thermal history on the structure and properties of silicate glasses [PDF]
We studied a set of float glass samples prepared with different fictive temperature by previous annealing around the glass transition temperature. We compared the results to previous measurements on a series of amorphous silica samples, also prepared ...

Nanoporous silica-based protocells at multiple scales for designs of life and nanomedicine. [PDF]
Various protocell models have been constructed de novo with the bottom-up approach. Here we describe a silica-based protocell composed of a nanoporous amorphous silica core encapsulated within a lipid bilayer built by self-assembly that provides for ...

Silica cycling in the world’s oceans is not straightforward to evaluate on a geological time scale. With the rise of radiolarians and sponges from the early Cambrian onward, silica can have two depositional origins, continental weathering, and biogenic ...

From Crystalline to Amorphous Germania Bilayer Films at the Atomic Scale: Preparation and Characterization [PDF]
A new two-dimensional (2D) germanium dioxide film has been prepared. The film consists of interconnected germania tetrahedral units forming a bilayer structure, weakly coupled to the supporting Pt(111) metal-substrate.

Ultrathin Amorphous Silica Membrane Enhances Proton Transfer across Solid-to-Solid Interfaces of Stacked Metal Oxide Nanolayers while Blocking Oxygen [PDF]
A large jump of proton transfer rates across solid-to-solid interfaces by inserting an ultrathin amorphous silica layer into stacked metal oxide nanolayers is discovered using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and Fourier-transform infrared ...

Silica in Protoplanetary Disks
Mid-infrared spectra of a few T Tauri stars (TTS) taken with the Infrared Spectrograph (IRS) on board the Spitzer Space Telescope show prominent narrow emission features indicating silica (crystalline silicon dioxide).

Layer Structured Manganese Oxide Hydroxides
Crystallinity and morphology of synthetic 10 Å-manganate (buserite) depend a) on the presence or absence of amorphous colloidal silica and co-precipitating amorphous ferric hydroxide, and b) on the ageing under pressure or normal conditions. Experiments

Density hardening plasticity and mechanical aging of silica glass under pressure: A Raman spectroscopic study [PDF]
In addition of a flow, plastic deformation of structural glasses (in particular amorphous silica) is characterized by a permanent densification. Raman spectroscopic estimators are shown to give a full account of the plastic behavior of silica under ...
