GSECARS Hosts Faculty and Students from Lockport Township High School Involved with the ESRP Program at APS

GSECARS Hosts Faculty and Students from Lockport Township High School Involved with the ESRP Program at APS

by carscat | Feb 24, 2021 | News and Announcements, Workshops and Outreach

GSE hosted faculty and high school students from Lockport Township High School involved with the ESRP Program at APS.  Their experiment “Comparative Chemical Analysis of Soil Contamination Using Hyperaccumulators” was run at 13 IDE with GSE beamline...
Understanding Effects of Conductive Additives in Lithium-Sulfur Batteries

Understanding Effects of Conductive Additives in Lithium-Sulfur Batteries

by carscat | Feb 15, 2021 | Science Highlights

Since 2009, lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries have been attracting much research interest, ascribed to their high energy density and cost-effectiveness. However, their S cathodes are harassed by the poor conductivity, shuttling of lithium polysulfides (LPSs), and large...
Noble Gas Incorporation Into Silicate Glasses: Implications for Planetary Volatile Storage

Noble Gas Incorporation Into Silicate Glasses: Implications for Planetary Volatile Storage

by carscat | Feb 10, 2021 | Science Highlights

Incorporation of small molecules in silicate melts may provide an important mecha-nism for storing noble gases in the deep Earth, yet the means by which chemicallyinert noble gases enter and are retained in silica-based materials is not understood.High pressure, room...
Rapid Reduction of Basaltic Glasses in Piston-Cylinder Experiments: a XANES study

Rapid Reduction of Basaltic Glasses in Piston-Cylinder Experiments: a XANES study

by carscat | Feb 9, 2021 | Science Highlights

Graphite capsules are commonly used in high-temperature, high-pressure experiments, particularly for nominally anhydrous experiments and iron-bearing silicate samples. Due to the presence of graphite in the sample assembly, the oxygen fugacity for these experiments is...
Tungsten Hexanitride with Single-Bonded Armchairlike Hexazine Structure at High Pressure

Tungsten Hexanitride with Single-Bonded Armchairlike Hexazine Structure at High Pressure

by carscat | Feb 8, 2021 | Science Highlights

WN6 phase discovered at 126–165 GPa after heating of W in nitrogen. XRD refinements reveal a unit cell in space group R¯3m which is consistent with the WN6 structure with armchairlike hexazine (N6) rings, while strong A1g Raman mode confirms its N─N single bonds....
