Sol-gel prepared β-TCP/FHA biphasic coatings

β-tricalcium phosphate/fluoridated hydroxyapatite (β-TCP/FHA) biphasic coatings were prepared on titanium alloy substrate by means of sol-gel method. The coatings combine the initial dissolution of β-TCP with the long-term stability of FHA to create a high quality bioactive coating. Ca(NO₃)₂, P₂O₅ and HPF₆ were dissolved in ethanol respectively and mixed in designed sequence and Ca : P : F ratios to form a sol. After the sol was refluxed for 24 h, the as-refluxed sol was used for FHA coating. β-TCP powders were dispersed into the sols to form colloidal sols for β-TCP/FHA biphasic coatings. The as-refluxed sols with different Ca : P : F ratios only resulted in apatite coatings with low F content. Biphasic coatings were prepared with the colloidal sols. The β-TCP contents of the coatings could be tailored by varying the amount of the powders in the colloidal sols. The surface morphology of the coatings becomes rougher with increasing amount of the powders, which favors cell attachment. However, excessive amount of powders results in powder agglomeration, leading to more cracks in the coatings. Fine powders and good dispersion are essential factors for good biphasic coatings.     

Electroluminescence of a device based on europium β-diketonate with phosphine oxide complex

Rare earth (RE) ions have spectroscopic characteristics to emit light in narrow lines, which makes RE complexes with organic ligands candidates for full color OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) applications. In particular, β-diketone rare earth (RE³⁺) complexes show high fluorescence emission efficiency due to the high absorption coefficient of the β-diketone and energy transfer to the central ion. In this work, the fabrication and the electroluminescent properties of devices containing a double and triple-layer OLED using a new β-diketone complex, [Eu(bmdm)₃(tppo)₂], as transporting and emitting layers are compared and discussed. The double and triple-layer devices based on this complex present the following configurations respectively: device 1: ITO/TPD (40 nm)/[Eu(bmdm)₃(tppo)₂] (40 nm)/Al (150 nm); device 2: ITO/TPD (40 nm)/[Eu(bmdm)₃(tppo)₂] (40 nm)/Alq₃ (20 nm)/Al (150 nm) and device 3: ITO/TPD (40 nm)/bmdm-ligand (40 nm)/Al (150 nm), were TPD is (N,N′-diphenyl-N,N′-bis(3-methylphenyl)-1,1-biphenil-4,4-diamine) and bmdm is butyl methoxy-dibenzoyl-methane. All the films were deposited by thermal evaporation carried out in a high vacuum system. These devices exhibit high intensity photo- (PL) and electro-luminescent (EL) emission. Electroluminescence spectra show emission from Eu³⁺ ions attributed to the ⁵D₀ to ⁷F_J (J = 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4) transitions with the hypersensitive ⁵D₀ → ⁷F₂ transition (around 612 nm) as the most prominent one. Moreover, a transition from ⁵D₁ to ⁷F₁ is also observed around 538 nm. The OLED light emission was almost linear with the current density. The EL CIE chromaticity coordinates (X = 0.66 and Y = 0.33) show the dominant wavelength, λ_d = 609 nm, and the color gamut achieved by this device is 0.99 in the CIE color space.     

Substrate rotation effects on β-FeSi2 epitaxial film growth using MBE

This study showed that substrate rotation plays an important role in the growth of high-quality β-FeSi₂ epitaxial film on hydrogen terminated Si (1 1 1) substrate using molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). The present work elucidated the substrate rotation effects on morphology, thickness, and purity. Results verified that substrate rotation is essential to grow thicker epilayers with better morphology and compositional uniformity. In addition, purity analyses indicated that substrate rotation increases the concentration of non-metallic impurities (H, C, and O), but does not further introduce metallic impurities into β-FeSi₂ films.

Preparation of β-Fesi2 thin film by metal organic chemical vapor deposition using iron-carbonyl and mono-silane

β-FeSi₂ films were deposited at 750 °C by a supplying Fe(CO)₅ and SiH₄ simultaneously during metal organic chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Films could be deposited using this precursors system, even though film deposition was not ascertained by the single supply of Fe(CO)₅. Fe(CO)₅ was probably decomposed in gas phases before it reached to substrate surface. It was suggested that a kind of intermediate reactant which was more stable than Fe(CO)₅ created by the simultaneous supply of Fe(CO)₅ and SiH₄ makes Fe-Si films. Epitaxial β-FeSi₂ films were obtained on Si(111) substrates, and neither carbide nor oxide phases were detected on XRD patterns.     

Unconventional pairing in doped band insulators on a honeycomb lattice: the role of the disconnected Fermi surface and a possible application to superconducting β-MNCl (M=Hf,Zr)

Abstract

We investigate the possibility of realizing unconventional superconductivity in doped band insulators on the square and honeycomb lattices. The latter lattice is found to be a good candidate due to the disconnectivity of the Fermi surface. We propose applying the theory to the superconductivity in doped layered nitride β-MNCl (M= Hf, Zr). Finally, we compare two groups of superconductors with disconnected Fermi surface, β-MNCl and the iron pnictides, which have high critical temperature T_c, despite some faults against superconductivity are present.     

Ofloxacin/β-Cyclodextrin Complexation

Ofloxacin (OFX) is a fluorquinolone characterized by photochemical instability. With the goal to improve its photostability in aqueous solutions, the complexation of ofloxacin with β-cyclodextrin was investigated. The complexes showed a water solubility enhancement of approximately 2.6 times; nevertheless, the photodegradation of ofloxacin was not reduced. The complexes obtained were characterized by thermal and ¹H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analysis, which revealed an interaction between ofloxacin and β-cyclodextrin. The last analysis indicated that only partial inclusion of the N-methylpiperazinyl moiety occurred, which can explain the fact that photostabilization was not improved. This partial inclusion phenomenon could be explained also by computer-aided molecular modeling.     

Physicochemical study on microencapsulation of hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin in dermal preparations

Objective: To investigate the effect of hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) concentration on the physicochemical properties of the sunscreen agents, namely oxybenzone (Oxy), octocrylene (Oct), and ethylhexyl-methoxy-cinnamate (Cin), in aqueous solution and cream formulations. Methods: The inclusion complexes of sunscreen agents with hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) in aqueous solution and solid phase were studied by UV-vis spectrophotmetery, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and 13C-NMR techniques. The photodegradation reaction of the sunscreen agents' molecules in lotion was explored using UV-vis spectrophotometry and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Results: The formation of the inclusion complexes was confirmed experimentally using DSC, SEM, and 13C-NMR. The results of spectrophotometric and HPLC studies have shown that the inclusion complexation with HP-β-CD has the potential to enhance the photostability of the selected sunscreen agents in lotion. HPLC results indicated that HP-β-CD has approximately increases the photostability of Oct by six- to eightfold. Moreover, the presence of HP-β-CD in lotion controlled the isomerization process of Cin to a certain degree, which was found to be a function of the amount of HP-β-CD added. Conclusions: It has been demonstrated that the photostability of the tested sunscreen agents has been enhanced upon forming inclusion complexes with HP-β-CD in lotion. The results of this study demonstrate that HP-β-CD can be utilized as photostabilizer additive for enhancing the photostability of the sunscreen agents' molecules.
