Crystal structure

Paragraph 1 This paper talks about how the crystal structure of FePO4will change at different ranges of temperatures. FePO4 has a crystal structure which is similar to quartz, which is made up of 2 phases at different temperatures. At low temperature, FePO4 will demonstrate α phase till the transition temperature of 980K before demonstrating the β phase. Space group of α phase FePO4 is said to be P3121, thus suggesting it has a trigonal structure. As for β phase FePO4, the space group will be P6422, which suggests it has a hexagonal structure. The main reason behind this change is that during the transition period from α phase to β phase at 980K, the tetrahedral structure will start to rotate leading to a tilt angle, δ, being formed. As for…

500 words) Compare and contrast the crystal structures and crystal chemistry of quartz, α-FePO4 and β-FePO4 To compare quartz, α-FePO4 and β-FePO4, it is essential to look at their crystal structures and crystal chemistry. This can be done by observing their three-dimensional structures as well as their reactions to various degrees of temperature. This particular research takes a look at the structure of FePO4 between temperatures of 294K to 1073K. At lower temperatures, FePO4 takes on its…

Written Exercise Paragraph 1 1. Lattice symmetry of quartz, α-FePO4 and β-FePO4: Quartz has a trigonal lattice structure with space group P3121 (group no. 152). At any temperature below 980K, Iron phosphate exists as α-FePO4, which has a trigonal lattice structure with space group P3121 (group no. 152) where iron, phosphate and oxygen occupy Wyckoff position 3a, 3b and 6c respectively. As the temperature rises up to and above 980K, α-FePO4 exhibits α-β transition and becomes β-FePO4 that shows…

The crystal structure of a material provides variety of important concepts on various scales. A proper understanding of the internal structure of the material through the characterization methods has become essential to identify the novel materials for a specific device application. Currently wide range of experimental methods is available to know the mechanical, chemical or electrical properties of the chosen materials. In this work, the prepared samples are studied using various techniques…

There are both similarities and differences between the crystal structures and crystal chemistry of quartz, α-FePO4 and β-FePO4. One of the observed differences is that when the quartz is present at different temperatures. The α-FePO4 phase when present at low temperatures, tend towards the values obtained for β-FePO4 at high temperature. In addition, this case is true for all α quartz when at low temperature, in that it will tend to the values obtained for its respective β quartz experienced at…

The availability of the crystal structure of the potassium dependent asparaginase from Phaseolus vulgaris (PvAspG1) provided insight into the mechanism of potassium activation (Bejger et al., 2014). There are two alkali metal binding sites in each α subunit, located in highly characteristic metal coordination loops. One of them is structural and is referred to as the stabilization loop. It is also present, as a sodium binding loop, in the crystal structure of K+ independent asparaginase from…

create a model based off the crystal structure of the endonuclease domain of Bacillus subtilis MutL. This structure, in particular, exposes the presence of zinc in the binding site which is important for the MMR function of BsMutL in vivo. From there, they proposed a model describing the association of MutS and DNA polymerase III, β clamp with MutL, and nicking of a synthesized DNA strand. The importance of MutL is in its united effort with MutS to recognize mismatches and interactions of the β…

TITLE: QUALITATIVE PHASE IDENTIFICATION & CRYSTAL STRUSTURE ANALYSIS OF ISONICOTINAMIDE POLYMORPHS. INTRODUCTION The science of crystallography is important in stability studies and determination of solid state molecule or particles. Isonicotinamide (pyridine -4- carboxamide) is the amide form of isonicotinic acid which exists as different polymorphs. Isonicotinamide finds extensive use in the pharmaceutical industry because of its good anti-tubercular, anti-bacterial, anti-pyretic and…

PARAGRAPH 1 Comparing the crystal structure of α-FePO4 & β-FePO4 Firstly, the crystal structures of the alpha and beta Iron Phosphate can be identified from the paper. The lower temperature form, α-FePO4, has the space group P3121, while the higher temperature form β-FePO4, has the space group: P6422. These space groups translates to the lattice symmetry of trigonal and hexagonal respectively. The two space groups are chiral. α-FePO4 is the main form of Iron Phosphate in room temperature since…

Have you ever heard of borax? it is a cleaning product but it is not just for cleaning it can be used for a lot of things such as making crystals. imagine you are making a cup of tea you might notice you can dissolve more sugar in hot tea than iced tea. give it a try and you will probably see sugar crystals at the bottom of the iced tea glass,even after you have stirred it. why do you think the crystals appear when the solution is cooled it has to do with the fact that every solid that can be…
