The Molybdenum K-shell X-ray Emission Spectrum.

ABSTRACT: We present newly measured spectra of the X-ray emission of a molybdenum metal anode subject to electron bombardment, using a very high dispersion silicon double-crystal spectrometer. The measurement includes the dipole-allowed KL, KM, and KN emission lines, based on an energy scale traceable to the Système International (SI) definition of the meter with a systematic uncertainty below ?E/E = 10-6. The data are presented as parametrized multi-Lorentzian fits to the results, and as supplementary data with the complete spectrum of each line group, corrected for instrumental effects. The MoKL 3 (K? 1) line energy was in complete statistical agreement with published measurements, and it showed no asymmetry. Other lines showed varying discrepancies with the literature which lie outside the bounds of probable experimental errors.

X-ray emission spectroscopy evidences a central carbon in the nitrogenase iron-molybdenum cofactor.

Project description:Nitrogenase is a complex enzyme that catalyzes the reduction of dinitrogen to ammonia. Despite insight from structural and biochemical studies, its structure and mechanism await full characterization. An iron-molybdenum cofactor (FeMoco) is thought to be the site of dinitrogen reduction, but the identity of a central atom in this cofactor remains unknown. Fe K? x-ray emission spectroscopy (XES) of intact nitrogenase MoFe protein, isolated FeMoco, and the FeMoco-deficient nifB protein indicates that among the candidate atoms oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon, it is carbon that best fits the XES data. The experimental XES is supported by computational efforts, which show that oxidation and spin states do not affect the assignment of the central atom to C(4-). Identification of the central atom will drive further studies on its role in catalysis.

Enhanced Electrochemical Behavior of Peanut-Shell Activated Carbon/Molybdenum Oxide/Molybdenum Carbide Ternary Composites.

Project description:Biomass-waste activated carbon/molybdenum oxide/molybdenum carbide ternary composites are prepared using a facile in-situ pyrolysis process in argon ambient with varying mass ratios of ammonium molybdate tetrahydrate to porous peanut shell activated carbon (PAC). The formation of MoO2 and Mo2C nanostructures embedded in the porous carbon framework is confirmed by extensive structural characterization and elemental mapping analysis. The best composite when used as electrodes in a symmetric supercapacitor (PAC/MoO2/Mo2C-1//PAC/MoO2/Mo2C-1) exhibited a good cell capacitance of 115 F g-1 with an associated high specific energy of 51.8 W h kg-1, as well as a specific power of 0.9 kW kg-1 at a cell voltage of 1.8 V at 1 A g-1. Increasing the specific current to 20 A g-1 still showcased a device capable of delivering up to 30 W h kg-1 specific energy and 18 kW kg-1 of specific power. Additionally, with a great cycling stability, a 99.8% coulombic efficiency and capacitance retention of ~83% were recorded for over 25,000 galvanostatic charge-discharge cycles at 10 A g-1. The voltage holding test after a 160 h floating time resulted in increase of the specific capacitance from 74.7 to 90 F g-1 at 10 A g-1 for this storage device. The remarkable electrochemical performance is based on the synergistic effect of metal oxide/metal carbide (MoO2/Mo2C) with the interconnected porous carbon. The PAC/MoO2/Mo2C ternary composites highlight promising Mo-based electrode materials suitable for high-performance energy storage. Explicitly, this work also demonstrates a simple and sustainable approach to enhance the electrochemical performance of porous carbon materials.

X-ray absorption spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction data for molybdenum minerals and compounds.

Project description:We report Mo K- and LIII-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) data collected for 15 molybdenum minerals and compounds sourced from museum collections, mineral dealers, and chemical suppliers. The samples were finely ground and analyzed at the Canadian Light Source synchrotron (Saskatoon, Canada). The LIII-edge XAS data were collected in fluorescence and total electron yield mode, while the K-edge XAS data were collected in transmission and fluorescence modes. Molybdenum LIII-edge spectra cover the X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) region and Mo K-edge spectra cover the extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) region. Tabulated XAS data are provided to support analysis of XAS data obtained for geological or environmental research. Furthermore, Mo K-edge EXAFS and LIII-edge XANES spectra, the k3 weighted oscillatory χ(k) functions, and the Fourier-transforms in χ(R) of these K-edge data are presented graphically. Corresponding XRD data were collected as two-dimensional images against an area detector and integrated to form line scans. The data were collected at a wavelength of 0.68866 Å (18 keV) and is tabulated and presented graphically over a 0-40 °2Θ range. This dataset is intended to be used as reference material for a variety of rare and common Mo phases.

Calibrating TDDFT Calculations of the X-ray Emission Spectrum of Liquid Water: The Effects of Hartree-Fock Exchange.

Project description:The structure and dynamics of liquid water continue to be debated, with insight provided by, among others, X-ray emission spectroscopy (XES), which shows a split in the high-energy 1b1 feature. This split is yet to be reproduced by theory, and it remains unclear if these difficulties are related to inaccuracies in dynamics simulations, spectrum calculations, or both. We investigate the performance of different methods for calculating XES of liquid water, focusing on the ability of time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) to reproduce reference spectra obtained by high-level coupled cluster and algebraic-diagrammatic construction scheme calculations. A metric for evaluating the agreement between theoretical spectra termed the integrated absolute difference (IAD), which considers the integral of shifted difference spectra, is introduced and used to investigate the performance of different exchange-correlation functionals. We find that computed spectra of symmetric and asymmetric model water structures are strongly and differently influenced by the amount of Hartree-Fock exchange, with best agreement to reference spectra for ∼40-50%. Lower percentages tend to yield high density of contributing states, resulting in too broad features. The method introduced here is useful also for other spectrum calculations, in particular where the performance for ensembles of structures are evaluated.

Delineating the phenotypic spectrum of sulfite oxidase and molybdenum cofactor deficiency.

Project description:ObjectiveTo define the phenotypic spectrum of isolated sulfite oxidase (ISOD) and molybdenum cofactor deficiency (MoCD), aiming to promote timely diagnosis and assist in future clinical trial design.MethodsWe analyzed clinical, radiographic, biochemical, and genetic data from 146 patients reported in the literature.ResultsWe stratified patients into 2 phenotypic subgroups based on clinical and radiographic characteristics. In the first (Class I), patients presented early in life (age 1-50 days) with acute onset of neurologic symptoms and development of diffuse brain injury with cystic leukomalacia. Patients in the second subgroup (Class II) presented later in life (age 30 days-23 years) with prominent movement abnormalities and selective injury of the basal ganglia and cerebellum. A significant difference in survival estimates correlated with milder disease severity among Class II patients. Substantial overlap in sulfur-containing metabolite levels prevented discrimination of subgroups based on diagnostic biomarkers, but genotype-phenotype correlations suggested that residual SUOX activity may contribute to milder phenotypes.ConclusionsPatients with SUOX and MoCD gravitate toward 1 of 2 distinct clinicoradiographic profiles. Patient stratification may help promote accurate diagnosis, prognostication, and aid in the design of future clinical trials.

Device for Identifying the UV Emission Spectrum.

Project description:Nowadays, the disinfection of classrooms, shopping malls, and offices has become an important part of our lives. One of the most effective disinfection methods is ultraviolet (UV) radiation. To ensure the disinfection device has the required wavelength spectrum, we need to measure it with dedicated equipment. Thus, in this work, we present the development of a UV spectrum detector capable of identifying UV wavelength spectrums, with a wide range of probes and the ability to transmit data to a PC for later evaluation of the results. The device was developed with four UV sensors: one for UV-A, one for UV-B, one for UV-C, and one with a wide range of detection of UVA, with a built-in transimpedance amplifier. An Arduino Nano development board processes all the acquired data. We developed a custom light source containing seven UV LEDs with different central wavelengths to calibrate the device. For easy visualization of the results, custom PC software was developed in the Processing programming medium. For the two pieces of electronics-the UV detector and calibration device-3D-printed housings were created to be ergonomic for the end-user. From the price point of view, this device is affordable compared to what we can find on the market.

Soft X-ray wavefront sensing at an ellipsoidal mirror shell.

Project description:A reliable `in situ' method for wavefront sensing in the soft X-ray domain is reported, developed for the characterization of rotationally symmetric optical elements, like an ellipsoidal mirror shell. In a laboratory setup, the mirror sample is irradiated by an electron-excited (4.4 keV), micrometre-sized (∼2 µm) fluorescence source (carbon Kα, 277 eV). Substantially, the three-dimensional intensity distribution I(r) is recorded by a CCD camera (2048 × 512 pixels of 13.5 µm) at two positions along the optical axis, symmetrically displaced by ±21-25% from the focus. The transport-of-intensity equation is interpreted in a geometrical sense from plane to plane and implemented as a ray tracing code, to retrieve the phase Φ(r) from the radial intensity gradient on a sub-pixel scale. For reasons of statistical reliability, five intra-/extra-focal CCD image pairs are evaluated and averaged to an annular two-dimensional map of the wavefront error {\cal W}. In units of the test wavelength (C Kα), an r.m.s. value \sigma_{\cal{W}} = ±10.9λ0 and a peak-to-valley amplitude of ±31.3λ0 are obtained. By means of the wavefront, the focus is first reconstructed with a result for its diameter of 38.4 µm, close to the direct experimental observation of 39.4 µm (FWHM). Secondly, figure and slope errors of the ellipsoid are characterized with an average of ±1.14 µm and ±8.8 arcsec (r.m.s.), respectively, the latter in reasonable agreement with the measured focal intensity distribution. The findings enable, amongst others, the precise alignment of axisymmetric X-ray mirrors or the design of a wavefront corrector for high-resolution X-ray science.

X-RAY EMISSION FROM MATERIALS PROCESSING LASERS.

Project description:The emission of laser induced X-rays from materials processing ultra-short pulsed laser systems was measured. The absolute spectral photon fluence was determined using a thermoluminescence detector based few-channel spectrometer. The spectra at 10 cm from the laser focus were in the energy region between 2 and 25 keV with mean energies of ~4-6 keV (when weighted by fluence or directional dose equivalent) and up to 13 keV (when weighted by ambient dose equivalent). The operational quantities, H·'(0.07), H·'(3) and H·*(10), were determined to be in the order of 1600-7300, 16-71 and 1-4 mSv per hour processing time, respectively, depending on the material and condition of the workpiece. The dose contribution due to photons above 30 keV was for all quantities negligible, i.e. below 10-3.

Tb-Doped core-shell-shell nanophosphors for enhanced X-ray induced luminescence and sensitization of radiodynamic therapy.

Project description:The development of radiation responsive materials, such as nanoscintillators, enables a variety of exciting new theranostic applications. In particular, the ability of nanophosphors to serve as molecular imaging agents in novel modalities, such as X-ray luminescence computed tomography (XLCT), has gained significant interest recently. Here, we present a radioluminescent nanoplatform consisting of Tb-doped nanophosphors with an unique core/shell/shell (CSS) architecture for improved optical emission under X-ray excitation. Owing to the spatial confinement and separation of luminescent activators, these CSS nanophosphors exhibited bright optical luminescence upon irradiation. In addition to standard physiochemical characterization, these CSS nanophosphors were evaluated for their ability to serve as energy mediators in X-ray stimulated photodynamic therapy, also known as radiodynamic therapy (RDT), through attachment of a photosensitizer, rose bengal (RB). Furthermore, cRGD peptide was used as a model targeting agent against U87 MG glioblastoma cells. In vitro RDT efficacy studies suggested the RGD-CSS-RB in combination with X-ray irradiation could induce enhanced DNA damage and increased cell killing, while the nanoparticles alone are well tolerated. These studies support the utility of CSS nanophosphors and warrants their further development for theranostic applications.

Comparisons of Analytical Approaches for Determining Shell Thicknesses of Core-Shell Nanoparticles by X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy.

Project description:We assessed two approaches for determining shell thicknesses of core-shell nanoparticles (NPs) by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). These assessments were based on simulations of photoelectron peak intensities for Au-core/C-shell, C-core/Au-shell, Cu-core/Al-shell, and Al-core/Cu-shell NPs with a wide range of core diameters and shell thicknesses. First, we demonstrated the validity of an empirical equation developed by Shard for determinations of shell thicknesses. Values of shell thicknesses from the Shard equation typically agreed with actual shell thicknesses to better than 10 %. Second, we investigated the magnitudes of elastic-scattering effects on photoelectron peak intensities by performing a similar series of simulations with elastic scattering switched off in our simulation software. Our ratios of the C-shell 1s intensity to the Au-core 4f7/2 intensity with elastic scattering switched off were qualitatively similar to those obtained by Torelli et al. from a model that neglected elastic scattering. With elastic scattering switched on, the C 1s/Au 4f7/2 intensity ratios generally changed by less than 10 %, thereby justifying the neglect of elastic scattering in XPS models that are applied to organic ligands on Au-core NPs. Nevertheless, elastic-scattering effects on peak-intensity ratios were generally much stronger for C-core/Au-shell, Al-core/Cu-shell, and Cu-core/Al-shell NPs, and there were second-order dependences on core diameter and shell thickness.
