Micro-, submicron-, and nano-scale titanium dioxide particles were reduced by reduction with a metallic calcium reductant in calcium chloride molten salt at 1173 K, and the reduction mechanism of the oxides by the calcium reductant was explored. These oxide particles, metallic calcium as a reducing agent, and calcium chloride as a molten salt were placed in a titanium crucible and heated under an argon atmosphere. Titanium dioxide was reduced to metallic titanium through a calcium titanate and lower titanium oxide, and the materials were sintered together to form a micro-porous titanium structure in molten salt at high temperature. The reduction rate of titanium dioxide was observed to increase with decreasing particle size; accordingly, the residual oxygen content in the reduced titanium decreases. The obtained micro-porous titanium appeared dark gray in color because of its low surface reflection. Microporous metallic titanium with a low oxygen content (0.42 wt%) and a large surface area (1.794 m(2) g(-1)) can be successfully obtained by reduction under optimal conditions.

Synthesis of Silicon Sulfide by Using CS2 Gas

Ryosuke O. Suzuki, Yuta Yashima, Takumi Kaneko, Eltefat Ahmadi, Tatsuya Kikuchi, Takafumi Watanabe, Genki Nogami

Summary: Silicon sulfide (SiS2) was synthesized using a precipitation method with Ar-CS2 gas mixture, resulting in the formation of white, needle-shaped SiS2 from silicon, silicon carbide, silicon nitride, and eutectic Al-Si liquid under specific conditions. The reaction pathway involves vaporization of SiS(g) and deposition as SiS2(s) from Si and CS2, with quartz remaining unaffected. However, the synthesis from eutectic Al-Si liquid was suppressed due to the formation of Al2S3.

Structures of Se chains encapsulated in single-walled carbon nanotubes

Hiroyuki Ikemoto, Toshihiko Fujimori, Takafumi Miyanaga, Reo Kawaguchi, Koki Urita, Masao Tabuchi

Summary: This study investigated the structures of two Se chains confined inside single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), revealing that the chains were linear and parallel. The covalent bond between Se and SWCNT was found to be stronger than that between Se and trigonal Se (t-Se). The interaction between chains was attributed to the overlap of electronic orbitals, and the disappearance of this overlap in the encapsulated Se chains enhanced the covalent bonds.

Observation of resonant tunneling of proton from octahedral to tetrahedral sites in Pd

Takahiro Ozawa, Hiroshi Nakanishi, Koichi Kato, Ryota Shimizu, Taro Hitosugi, Katsuyuki Fukutani

Summary: In this study, we elucidate the hopping mechanism of hydrogen at intermediate temperature using a combination of experimental data and theoretical calculations. We find that the transition from thermal hopping to quantum tunneling is attributed to resonant tunneling, which is achieved through the resonant tunneling of discrete vibrational states between the edge octahedral site and the tetrahedral site. We also demonstrate that the tunneling rate can be tuned by energy level matching.

Summary: Fe-based nanowires containing nonmagnetic elements, fabricated using a pulse electrodeposition method in porous anodic alumina membranes, exhibit magnetic tunability. The magnetic properties of Fe100-xSnx NW arrays, with a diameter of about 35 nm, such as coercivity and squareness values, decrease with increasing Sn content. The structure of the FeSn NWs, dominated by Fe or FeSn alloy crystal phase, can be either single domain or pseudo-single domain states depending on the Sn content.
