SummaryRecently reports on the major stability of the monoclinic phase of hydroxyapatite compared with the hexagonal phase have established it as the most observable structure of hydroxyapatite in natural materials, such as hard tissues. In this work, the structural and crystallographic analysis of the inorganic component of sound human tooth enamel was done by transmission electron microscopy, electron diffraction and X-ray diffraction techniques. The results indicated that its unit cell is hexagonal not monoclinic.
This work reports studies performed in the superconducting compound F eSe0.5T e0.5 under high pressure. Changes were observed in the transition temperature, superconducting critical fields, anomalous variations in the Meissner fraction, and in Ginzburg Landau parameters. The superconducting properties were calculated and compared using the Werthamer-Helfand-Hohenber approximation and Ginzburg-Landau theory. Hydrostatic pressure was produced from atmospheric to 823 MPa, the increment in the critical temperature was from 14.45 to 20.5 K at a rate of change about 0.0069 K/MPa.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
