X-ray Powder Diffraction Study of Fe2O3-Mn2O3 Phase Diagram

Lead Institution
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Jarrod Crum
Project type
Exploratory Research
This study will examine phase development, and determine phase boundaries, in the Fe2O3-Mn2O3 binary phase diagram using x-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) and differential thermal analysis (DTA). The…

Stability of Ceria and Other NanoParticles

Lead Institution
Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Donald Baer
Project type
Exploratory Research
This project examines the stability of Ceria, Titania and other nanoparticles. The particles to be examined will be prepared at the University of Central Florida and those obtained commercially. …

Nano-porous TiO2 Ceramics

Lead Institution
Washington State University
Principal Investigator
Amit Bandyopadhyay
Project type
Exploratory Research
At WSU, we are forming nano-porous TiO2 via anodizing Ti foils in different electrolytes. Our interest is to characterize these films using FESEM to understand the influence of processing variables…

Molecular Modeling

Lead Institution
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
M. Mayer-Cumblidge
Project type
Exploratory Research
We are working on the design and synthesis of Arsenic-derivatized dyes and crosslinkers which selectively bind multi-cysteine peptide motifs. These motifs can then be cloned into proteins of…
