Common misconceptions in crystallography and crystal optics. [PDF]
Six recurrent misconceptions in crystallography, some involving mineral and crystal optics, are analyzed and discussed. The explanation of these and similar misconceptions could serve as educational resources for teachers.Did you know that an X‐ray diffraction pattern is not a spectrum?

Ru-Doped Fe₂TiO₅ as a High-Performance Electrocatalyst for Urea-Assisted Water Splitting. [PDF]
Ru doping in Fe₂TiO₅ enhances urea oxidation reaction (UOR) kinetics by inducing structural distortion and creating favorable adsorption sites. The optimized 2−xRuxTiO5 exhibits superior performance with a lower onset potential and robust durability, demonstrating its potential as an efficient electrocatalyst beyond traditional photocatalytic ...

Thermal behaviour of alum-(Rb) RbAl(SO4)2 · 12H2O from in-situ laboratory high-temperature X-ray powder diffraction data [PDF]
The present work investigates in-situ the thermal behaviour of alum-(Rb), RbAl(SO4)2 · 12H2O, by high-temperature X-ray powder diffraction from 303 K to melting, which starts at 359 K and is completed, due to kinetics, at 363 K.

Contribution of non-exchangeable potassium forms and its accumulation in corn plants
The state of Paraíba, Brazil, has soils from well- to poorly-developed, in which potassium (K) is found in different levels, forms and, consequently, with varying availability to plants. The objective of this study was to evaluate the contribution of non-
