the β phase as temperature increases. As for the FeO4 and PO4 tetrahedra, the change in their structures can be seen through Table 5, where the O-Fe-O bond angles decrease. Furthermore, in Table 4 (taken from J. Haines, et al. (2003) A neutron diffraction study of Quartz-type FePO4: high-temperature behaviour and α-β transition Z. Kristallogr. 218, 193-200 (2003).) below, it can be seen that the bond distances of Fe-O decrease as temperature increases. Both of these factors result in the…

x-rays along with their bone mineral density scans can aid in the autopsy examinations to discover answers from criminal investigations. CT scanning provides comprehensive views of a victim’s anatomy without the invasiveness of an autopsy. X-ray diffraction procedures involve the identification of substances through the use of an x-ray beam to supplement findings in a crime scene. Forensic sciences alongside x-rays produce a good team in generating answers to mysteries in criminal…

simply take what he said to be the truth, this meant that few scientists of the era actually considered his proposal. Newton’s theory was based off of Pierre Gassendi and Thomas Hobbes corpuscular theory of light. Newton stated that the concept of diffraction was simply a new kind of refraction and that the wave theory of light…

experiments on white blood cells showed that the nuclein dissolved in weak alkalies but not in water and acids. Later studies demonstrated that all living organisms have DNA and that any kinds of cell such as hair, skin, or plant cells all have DNA. Plenty of research and experimentation went into solving the structure of DNA and the invention of paper chromatography allowed Erwin Chargaff (1905-2002) to make a contribution in establishing the structure of DNA and how it transmitted genetic…

London whereas, James Watson and Francis Crick studied at Cambridge University. Rosalind Franklin was a woman working in a field that was male dominated however it is believe she didn't get equal recognition for her contributions. Her work on X-ray diffraction showed that DNA had the characteristics of a helix. However prior to gathering more results Wilkins had already shown her research to Watson and Crick unknowingly. This allowed them to begin development on their model of the said helix.…

The Structure of DNA Somewhere in someone’s brain a curiosity is born that starts a wanting to find an answer. Not everybody gets these feelings to act upon their feelings of wanting to find out an answer, but for some people it does. An Austrian monk, Greg Mendel was a for-father of finding “basic patterns of inheritance.” He started doing his scientific experiments around 1854 in his gardens researching “the transmission of hereditary traits in plant hybrids” (Bio, a Biography of Gregor…

passed though the exciation filter to make it monochromatic. Using the dichroic mirror, the light is diverted into the objective This forms an intense diffraction-limited spot inside the sample, where the sample absorbs the exitation wavelength of light and emits the red shifted emission wavelength (the phenomenon of fluorescence). Since the diffraction limited sopt is formed on the focal plane of the objective, the emmitted light is gathered back by the objective and is passed on towards the…

creation of new products and more importantly, help to chart and record the behavior of SiO2. Hence, this would give us a more accurate representation of the crystal chemical relationship beween SiO2 and FePO4. Though the use of neutron powder diffraction, it was observed that FePO4…

Oxford where she conducted her fourth year research project on x-ray crystallography, which at the time was new technology. Her project involved crystallizing the substance she was studying, shooting x-rays at the crystal, and then studying the diffraction of the x-rays off the planes of the crystal’s structure.…
