Physiological responses of Spirulina platensis to nanoparticles of TiO2 and citrate [PDF]
In order to investigate the stimulating effect of TiO2 nanoparticles on the growth rate and the increase of some metabolites in the microalgae Spirulina platensis, the anatase and rutile forms of the TiO2 nanoparticle were compared to the bulk form, in ...

Highly Active under VIS Light M/TiO2 Photocatalysts Prepared by Single-Step Synthesis
A single-step impregnation approach is investigated as a synthetic route for photocatalyst synthesis active under visible light. The as-derived photocatalysts exhibited very high degradation rates towards methylene blue (MB) decolorization under visible ...

Origin of the different conductive behavior in pentavalent-ion-doped anatase and rutile TiO$_2$
The electronic properties of pentavalent-ion (Nb$^{5+}$, Ta$^{5+}$, and I$^{5+}$) doped anatase and rutile TiO$_2$ are studied using spin-polarized GGA+\emph{U} calculations.

Reversible formation-dissociation of polaron in rutile driven by electric field
Density functional theory with Hubbard U correction is employed to study the polaron in rutile under external electric fields. It is found that electric-field-induced displacements of the ions enhance the sampling of the polaron configurations, which is ...

Time‐Dependent Oxidation and Scale Evolution of a Wrought Co/Ni‐Based Superalloy
This study shows how a new wrought Co/Ni‐based superalloy resists oxidation at 800 ∘$^\circ$C. The oxide scale changes from rough, fast‐growing spinel to a dense, protective chromia–alumina layer. Atom probe analysis reveals tiny refractory‐rich bubbles at the interface that mark the transition to long‐term, diffusion‐controlled protection ...
