L’étoile Wolf-Rayet WR 46 est connue pour sa variabilité complexe sur des échelles de temps relativement courtes de quelques heures et sur des échelles de temps plus longues de plusieurs mois. Des décalages périodiques mais intermittents en vitesse radiale ont déjà été observés dans ses raies d’émission optiques. Plusieurs périodes photométriques ont aussi été mesurées dans le passé. Des pulsations non-radiales, une modulation liée à la rotation rapide, ou encore la présence d’un compagnon de faible masse dont la présence reste à confirmer ont été proposées pour expliquer le comportement de l’étoile sur des échelles de temps de quelques heures. Dans un effort pour dévoiler sa vraie nature, nous avons observé WR 46 avec le satellite FUSE sur plusieurs cycles de variabilité à court terme. Nous avons trouvé des variations sur une échelle de temps d’environ 7,5 heures dans le continu ultraviolet lointain, dans l’aile bleue de la composante d’absorption du profil P Cygni du doublet de O vi 1032, 1038, ainsi que dans la composante d’absorption du profil P Cygni de S vi 933, 944. Nous avons également récupéré des données archivées de cette étoile obtenues avec le satellite XMM-Newton. La courbe de lumière en rayons X montre des variations sur une échelle de temps similaire aux courbes de lumière du continu ultraviolet et ultraviolet lointain, et le spectre rayons X de WR 46 est très mou avec un pic d’émission à des énergies plus faibles que 1 keV. Nous discutons des différentes contraintes sur la nature de la variabilité de cette étoile que ces nouvelles observations aident à poser. Parmi les scénarios suggérés, nous concluons que celui des pulsations non-radiales est le plus probable, bien que nous soyons encore loin d’une compréhension détaillée de WR 46.

Eulytite compounds, A(3)Bi(XO4)(3) (X = P, A = Ca, Cd, Sr, Pb), belong to the noncentrosymmetric space group l (4) over bar 3d (No. 220) as determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The crystals were grown from the melt-cool technique with considerable difficulty as the compounds melt incongruently at their melting temperature, except for the compound Pb3Bi(PO4)(3). The unit cell parameter a is 9.984(5), 9.8611(3), 10.2035(3), and 10.3722(2) angstrom for Ca3Bi(PO4)(3), Cd3Bi(PO4)(3), Sr3Bi(PO4)(3), and Pb3Bi(PO4)(3) respectively, and there are four formula units in the unit cell. The structure of Pb3Bi(VO4)(3), a unique eulytite with vanadium substitution, is compared with all these phosphorus substituted eulytites. The A(2+) and Bi3+ cations occupy the special position (16c) while the O anions occupy the general Wyckoff position (48e) in the crystal structure. Only one O position has been identified for Pb3Bi(PO4)(3) and Pb3Bi(VO4)(3), whereas two O atom sites were identified for Ca3Bi(PO4)(3), Cd3Bi(PO4)(3), and Sr3Bi(PO4)(3). The UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectra indicate large band gaps for all the phosphate eulytites while a lower band gap is observed for the vanadate eulytite. The feasibility of the use of these compounds in optoelectronic devices has been tested by measuring the second-harmonic generation (SHG) values which have been found to be of a magnitude equivalent to the commercially used KDP (KH2PO4).

InAsxSb1−x alloys show a strong bowing in the energy gap, the energy gap of the alloy can be less than the gap of the two parent compounds. The authors demonstrate that a consequence of this alloying is a systematic degradation in the sharpness of the absorption edge. The alloy disorder induced band-tail (Urbach tail) characteristics are quantitatively studied for InAs0.05Sb0.95.

A structural investigation of cubic oxides (space group I23) of the formula Bi(26-x)M(x)O(40-delta) (M = Ti, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni and Pb) related to the Y-Bi2O3 phase has been carried out by the Rietveld profile analysis of high-resolution X-ray powder diffraction data in order to establish the cation distributions. Compositional dependence of the cation distribution has been examined in the case of Bi26-xCoxO40-delta (1 < x < 16). The study reveals that in Bi(26-X)M(X)O(40-delta) with M = Ti, Mn, Fe, Co or Pb, the M cations tend to occupy tetrahedral (2a) sites when x < 2 while the octahedral (24f) sites are shared by the excess Co or Ni cations with Bi atoms when x > 2. Also experimental magnetic moments of Mn, Co and Ni derivatives have been used to establish the valence state and distribution of these cations.

Les concepts de la chimie supramoléculaire peuvent être exploités avantageusement pour contrôler la structure et les propriétés des matériaux moléculaires. Dans une approche productive, les composantes moléculaires du matériau peuvent être choisies pour pouvoir s'engager dans des interactions fortes et prévisibles avec leurs voisins. Cette stratégie, appelée la tectonique moléculaire, est caractérisée par la préparation de molécules particulières appelées tectons (du grec tectos, qui signifie constructeur) qui, par design rationnel, s’associent de manière prévisible via de multiples interactions non-covalentes afin de générer l’architecture désirée. Ce processus est réversible et guidé par la présence de fonctions chimiques complémentaires, appelées groupements de reconnaissance, qui sont orientées de manière à conférer un aspect directionnel aux interactions intermoléculaires. Ceci permet de positionner les molécules voisines de façon prédéterminée. Les contraintes imposées par les interactions s’opposent souvent à la tendance naturelle des molécules à former une structure compacte et permettent donc à d'autres molécules invitées d’occuper un volume appréciable dans le matériau, sans toutefois contribuer directement à l'architecture principale. Appliquée à la cristallisation, cette approche peut générer des cristaux poreux, analogues aux zéolites. Les ponts hydrogène offrent une interaction non-covalente de choix dans cette stratégie car ils sont forts et directionnels. L’exploration d’une multitude de fonctions chimiques connues pour pouvoir participer à la formation de ponts hydrogène a permis de créer une grande diversité de nouveaux matériaux lors de l’évolution du domaine du génie cristallin. Une molécule classique, qui illustre bien la stratégie tectonique et qui a eu un fort impact dans le domaine de la chimie supramoléculaire, est l’acide 1,3,5-benzènetricarboxylique, communément appelé acide trimésique. L’acide trimésique donne une orientation trigonale à trois groupements carboxyles, favorisant ainsi la formation d'un réseau hexagonal retenu par ponts hydrogène. Nous avons visé une modification dans laquelle les groupements -COOH de l'acide trimésique sont remplacés par deux autres groupements de reconnaissance, jusqu’ici peu exploités en chimie supramoléculaire, l’oxime et l’hydrazone. Nous rapportons la synthèse et la cristallisation de différentes trioximes et trihydrazones analogues à l'acide trimésique. Les cristaux obtenus ont été analysés par diffraction des rayons-X et leurs structures ont été déterminées. L’auto-assemblage de différentes trioximes et trihydrazones en 2D par adsorption sur graphite a également été étudié en utilisant la microscopie à balayage à effet tunnel. Nos résultats nous permettent de comparer l'organisation en 2D et en 3D de différents analogues de l'acide trimésique.

The present paper is a comprehensive study concerning Fe K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) measurements, which were performed to characterize the local structure of (1 - x)Pb(Fe2/3W1/3)O 3-xPbTiO3 samples as a function of temperature and PbTiO3 content. Results obtained by the fits of extended X-ray absorption fine structure consist with rhombohedral symmetry for Pb(Fe 2/3W1/3)O3 composition at temperatures lower than room temperature. This result is in apparent disagreement with X-ray and neutron diffraction characterization which have been reported. This apparent disagreement is related to the fact that XAS probes the short-range order, whereas X-ray diffraction provides structural information about the average structure. Moreover, as the PbTiO3 content increases, a disorder has been detected at local structure of the FeO6 octahedron. Analysis of X-ray absorption near edge structure spectra did not show modifications in intensity nor energy of transitions. © 2013 American Institute of Physics.

Photoluminescence studies, carried out using the Fourier Transform method rather than the conventional monochromator-dispersion method,are reported on glassy samples of indium-bismuth mixed doped Ge (10) Se(90-x-y) In (x) Bi (y) system (x,y = 5,10). The amorphous Bi2Se3 is found to be n-type like the crystalline counterpart. The possible contributions from microscopic cluster-level phase separation of Bi2Se3 and from the defects to the change in conductivity from p- to n- typein this system is discussed. The similar situation in related systems is also pointed out.

In the past few years, the development of light sources of the 4(th) generation, namely XUV/X-ray Free Electron Lasers provides to the scientific community outstanding tools to investigate matter under extreme conditions never obtained in laboratories so far. As theory is at its infancy, the analysis of matter via the self-emission of the target is of central importance. The characterization of such dense matter is possible if photons can escape the medium. As the absorption of K-shell X-ray transitions is minimal, it plays a key role in this study. We report here the first successful observation of K-shell emission of Nitrogen at 430 eV using an XUV-Free Electron Laser to irradiate solid Boron Nitride targets under exceptional conditions: photon energy of 92 eV, pulse duration of similar to 20 fs, micro focusing leading to intensities larger than 10(16) W/cm(2). Using a Bragg crystal of THM coupled to a CCD, we resolved K-shell line emission from different charge states. We demonstrate that the spectroscopic data allow characterization of electron heating processes when X-ray radiation is interacting with solid matter. As energy transport is non-trivial because the light source is monochromatic, these results have an important impact on the theory. (C) 2011 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim

Ultraviolet and X-ray observations show evidence of outflowing gas around many active galactic nuclei. It has been proposed that some of these outflows are driven off gas infalling towards the central supermassive black hole. We perform radiative transfer calculations to compute the gas ionization state and the emergent X-ray spectra for both two- and three-dimensional (3D) hydrodynamical simulations of this outflow-from-inflow scenario. By comparison with observations, our results can be used to test the theoretical models and guide future numerical simulations. We predict both absorption and emission features, most of which are formed in a polar funnel of relatively dense (10 -10 g cm ) outflowing gas. This outflow causes strong absorption for observer orientation angles of ?35°. Particularly in 3D, the strength of this absorption varies significantly for different lines of sight owing to the fragmentary structure of the gas flow. Although infalling material occupies a large fraction of the simulation volume, we do not find that it imprints strong absorption features in the X-ray spectra since the ionization state is predicted to be very high. Thus, an absence of observed inflow absorption features does not exclude the models. The main spectroscopic consequence of the infalling gas is a Compton-scattered continuum component that partially re-fills the absorption features caused by the outflowing polar funnel. Fluorescence and scattering in the outflow are predicted to give rise to several emission features including a multicomponent Fe Ka emission complex for all observer orientations. For the hydrodynamical simulations considered, we predict both ionization states and column densities for the outflowing gas that are too high to be quantitatively consistent with well-observed X-ray absorption systems. Nevertheless, our results are qualitatively encouraging and further exploration of the model parameter space is warranted. Higher resolution hydrodynamic simulations are needed to determine whether the outflows fragment on scales unresolved in our current study, which may yield the denser lower ionization material that could reconcile the models and the observations. © 2012 The Authors Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society © 2012 RAS.

We report the results of crystal structure, magnetization and resistivity measurements of Bi doped LaVO3. X-ray diffraction (XRD) shows that if doping Bi in the La site is less than ten percent, the crystal structure of La1-xBixVO3 remains unchanged and its symmetry is orthorhombic. However, for higher Bi doping (>10%) composite compounds are found where the XRD patterns are characterized by two phases: LaVO3+V2O3. Energy-dispersive analysis of the x-ray spectroscopy (EDAX) results are used to find a proper atomic percentage of all samples. The temperature dependence of the mass magnetization of pure and single phase doped samples have transition temperatures from paramagnetic to antiferromagnetic region at TN=140 K. This measurement for bi-phasic samples indicates two transition temperatures, at TN=140 K (LaVO3) and TN=170 K (V2O3). The temperature dependence of resistivity reveals semiconducting behavior for all samples. Activation energy values for pure and doped samples are extracted by fitting resistivity versus temperature data in the framework of thermal activation process.
