Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
In order to compare the stability of the amorphous state of RBM in each granule type, 4 g of each sample was placed into containers at 30% RH or 75% RH, with an ambient temperature ca. 20 °C, for the specified time periods (6 months at maximum). The samples were promptly measured by X-ray diffraction (XRD) upon removal of the lid at each time point.
The XRD pattern of each sample was collected using RINT-Ultima III (Rigaku, Tokyo, Japan) with Cu Kα radiation (40 kV × 40 mA). The diffraction angle range was from 5° to 45° in 2-theta, with a step of 0.02° and scanned at 15°/min. Relatively large granules were ground using manual grinding in an agate mortar for adequate XRD analysis.

The accelerated degradation test was performed in water at a temperature and pressure of 140°C and 0.4 MPa, respectively. The sintered disk-shaped bodies were placed in a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) container with distilled water. The PTFE container was inserted into a stainless steel airtight container, and the stainless steel container was subsequently heated in a high-temperature oven (model PVH-111, Espec, Japan). The LTD process was measured by the fm on the specimen surface obtained via the XRD technique. XRD patterns were measured at room temperature using a powder diffractometer (model RINT Ultima III, Rigaku, Japan) equipped with a monochromatic Cu radiation source. The diffraction patterns were obtained within the 26° ≤ 2θ ≤ 33° range in 0.02° steps at a scan speed of 1°/min. The shape of the diffraction line was fitted using a Pearson VII function28 . The fm was determined using the formula: where I is the integrated intensity and subscripts m, t, and c denote monoclinic, tetragonal, and cubic, respectively.

AZ31 disks of 15 mm diameter and 1 mm thickness were cut from extruded rods (Osaka Fuji Co., Amagasaki, Japan). The composition of the AZ31 rod is shown in Table 1. The surface of disks was ground with SiC papers (Buehler, IL, USA) up to #1200 and rinsed ultrasonically in acetone. Mechanically ground AZ31 disks were named Mpol-AZ31.
Coating treatment solutions were prepared with 500 mmol l−1 ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) calcium disodium salt hydrate (C10H12CaN2Na2O8, Ca-EDTA) solution, 500 mmol l−1 potassium dihydrogenphosphate (KH2PO4) solution, and 1 mol l−1 sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution. The same volumes of the Ca-EDTA and KH2PO4 solutions were mixed and the pH was adjusted to 6.1 or 8.9 with the NaOH solution. Mpol-AZ31 disks were immersed in the treatment solutions at 90°C for 2 h. The pH of the solutions did not change after the treatment. OCP and HAp coatings were formed at pH 6.1 and 8.9, respectively. OCP- and HAp-coated AZ31 specimens were named OCP- and HAp-AZ31, respectively. The crystal structure was analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) (RINT Ultima III, Rigaku, Tokyo, Japan). The surface and cross-sectional morphology of the coatings was observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM; FEI Quanta FEG250, OR, USA and Miniscope TM3000, Hitachi, Tokyo, Japan). Cross-section specimens were prepared by scraping off the OCP and HAp coatings with a cutter.

The filter residues of co-precipitation and simple adsorption were analyzed by XRD (RIGAKU, Inc. RINT Ultima III, Tokyo, Japan). For XRD analysis, the initial Al concentration was adjusted to 40 mg·dm−3 and the initial Si concentration was varied according to the Si/Al molar ratio. The filter residues from the co-precipitation and adsorption experiments were freeze-dried at −45 °C and 10 Pa for at least 24 h to avoid crystallization or mineralogical transformation.
Powder XRD patterns were obtained using a copper target (Cu Kα), a crystal graphite monochromator and a scintillation detector. The X-ray source was operated at 40 kV and 30 mA by step-scanning from 2° to 80° 2θ at increments of 0.02° 2θ. A crystal sample holder was used and the diffractograms were not corrected by background diffraction. Powder diffraction files (PDF) from the International Centre for Diffraction Data (ICDD) were used as references using Jade 6.0 software for observation of aluminum hydroxide.
Aluminum hydroxide and aluminum silicate were also analyzed as reference materials. Aluminum hydroxide was prepared from a 40 mg·dm−3 aluminum solution at pH 9. Aluminum silicate was purchased from Kanto Chemicals Inc.

Rapid Cu Thin Film Deposition

c Plane sapphire (Kyocera,
Kyoto, Japan) or SiO2 (50 nm)/Si substrates (2 × 2
cm2) were pre-treated
by dipping into H2O2/H2SO4 = 1/3 solution for 5 min and rinsing in deionized water. The substrate
was dried by N2-gas blow, set on a quartz glass stage in
a vacuum chamber with the substrate surface facing down, and evacuated
to 1–5 × 10–4 Pa by a turbo-molecular
pump. Then, a 1–3 μm thick Cu film was deposited on the
substrate (heated at 400 °C) by RVD for 10–30 s, by heating
of Cu wire (99.9%, 1 mm φ, 20 mm in length, Nilaco; Tokyo, Japan)
to 1700–1800 °C using a tungsten boat. During RVD, the
pressure in the chamber increased to ∼1 × 10–3 Pa due to gas emission from the hot Cu source. The deposited Cu
films were analyzed by SEM (Hitachi S-4800; Tokyo, Japan) equipped
with EDS (Genesis; AMETEK EDAX, Berwyn, PA), XRD (RINT-Ultima III;
Rigaku, Akishima, Japan), and AFM (SPM-9600; SHIMADZU, Kyoto, Japan).

FT–IR spectra were recorded on a spectrometer (FT-IR/6200; Jasco Corp.) using a KBr pelletizing method. Raman spectra were recorded on a Raman spectrometer (excitation line λ = 532 nm, NRS-1000; Jasco Corp.). The crystalline structure was characterized using powder X-ray diffraction (XRD, RINT-Ultima III; Rigaku Corp.) operating at 40 kV and 40 mA with Cu-Kα radiation.

Results of BET measurements are presented in Supplementary Information Table S10. W L3-edge X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) spectra were recorded on BL14B2 in SPring-8 (Hyogo, Japan). Catalysts treated in the reaction condition were ground into powder and were pressed into pellets. Then, pellets were packed into gas-barrier bags. The pellets were diluted with BN to adjust for XAFS measurement. EXAFS analysis and curve fitting were performed using software (Athena ver. 0.8.056; Artemis ver. 0.8.012).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Before XRD analysis, specimens with or without PTFE coating had the colored oxide film on their metallic surfaces removed by SiC-paper #400 and #800 to expose their metallic-colored surfaces. The specimens, i.e. bundled wires, were then washed under running water, followed by distilled water, acetone, and ethanol.
The crystal structural changes of the washed wire specimens that had been heated during PTFE-coating were examined by XRD using an X-ray diffractometer (RINT-UltimaIII, Rigaku, Tokyo, Japan). XRD analysis was performed with Cu Kα radiation at 40 kV and 40 mA at 2θ/θ-scanning mode, with the angle of the incident X-ray beam (θ) from 15° to 45° scanned speed at 1.0°/min with scanning step at 0.02°. To evaluate the deduced ω phase of Ti-Nb wires at 75-85°, we obtained the eighttimes integrated data of eight-times measurement at 2θ/θ-scanning mode with 0.02° step for 4s (Fig. 1).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
