Abstract

Single crystals of α-quartz-type Si1-xGexO2 (x < 0.12), grown under hydrothermal conditions in NH4F solutions, were investigated using infrared (IR) and Raman spectroscopy. Compositional dependencies of the IR absorption spectra were found both for the fundamental and combination vibrations. With an increase in Ge content in the crystals, new absorption bands, corresponding to the vibrations of OGeO in the GeO4 tetrahedra (670, 930, 1010, 2125 cm-1), appeared, and the intensities of the absorption bands of OSiO in the SiO4 tetrahedra (263, 695, 2137, doublet at 2326 and 2333, 2499, 2599, 2673 cm-1) decreased. The shifts in the absorption bands at 354, 511, 2499 and 2673 cm-1 to lower wavenumbers linearly depends on the Ge content and are characteristic of vibrations in the SiOGe chains. The origin of some combinational vibrations is also clarified. A combination vibration that caused the band at 1395 cm-1 was formed by vibrations with wavenumbers of 263 (type E) and 1170 cm-1 (type E). The bands at 2499 and 2673 cm-1 were composed of the band at 354 cm-1 and two vibrations at 1083 cm-1 (type E) and by two vibrations at 1170 cm-1 (type E), respectively.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
