Hi
There are various types of antiferromagnetic states,of which A-,C- and G- type are of my interest.These types depend upon the configuration of spins.
When the (magnetic) atoms are at corners, it is easy to assign spin orientation to each to get the three states.However,when they are face-centered and edge-centered, i face issues in assigning the orientations.Kindly, help me out.,which to keep up and which down.
Regards

Subject: Seeking Expert Advice on Suitable Electrolyte Solution and Voltage Parameters for Pure Aluminum Electropolishing Study
Dear Research Community,
I hope this message finds you well. I am a student facing a critical issue that could potentially jeopardize my future. I am reaching out to seek your assistance or recommendations for someone who can help me overcome this challenge.
Currently, our research project focuses on the electropolishing of pure aluminum. However, we have encountered a significant obstacle that has impeded our progress. Our samples vary in size, with the maximum dimension being 0.5 cm.
In our study, we initially prepared the samples through sanding and subsequent polishing with powder. We have now reached the stage where we are ready to initiate the electropolishing process.
For the electrolyte solution, we have utilized a mixture of acids, including nitric acid, sulfuric acid, acetic acid, and ethanol. Initially, we created an electrolyte solution consisting of 25% nitric acid and 75% ethanol. The process was conducted at room temperature without employing a heater to raise the temperature. However, despite experimenting with voltage values ranging from 0 to 10 V, we have been unable to achieve desirable results. Instead, we observed the formation of H.
In a subsequent experiment, we modified the electrolyte solution by using 70% phosphoric acid, 15% acetic acid, and 5% nitric acid at room temperature. We increased the voltage to 20 V, resulting in a current density of 30. The electropolishing process was carried out for durations ranging from 30 seconds to 1 minute. Unfortunately, we encountered the same issue of excessive H production, leading to a completely white surface on our samples. We were unable to progress to the final stage of the process.
Additionally, we attempted to use the same electrolyte solution at 30 V for 10 seconds, but satisfactory outcomes were not achieved.
Given the aforementioned circumstances, I kindly request your professional advice regarding the appropriate electrolyte solution and voltage parameters for my future experiments.
Thank you in advance for your prompt response.
Yours sincerely,
Alireza Saravani

I'm interested in submitting a research proposal to the call 2025 "Egypt-France Imhotep Mobility Project." Therefore, I'm looking for a French collaborator who specializes in material science, environmental science, nanoparticles, or biopolymers. I would appreciate it if anyone could help me with this.
I usually use PEG-200 and PEG-300 that are in liquid form.
Recently I received PEG-100 from a company that usually do not make PEG-100, and made it once specially for us.
It is not in liquid state, or granules or flakes form, but it is one big solid that looks like in the picture attached.
I tried to melt it up to 100 C, but it did not melt.
How should I use it? My purpose is to use it as a plasticizer for aqueous tape casting, and to mix it with powder, binder and water.
Thank you.

Hello dear experts,
I have four solid samples of a mineral. With my naked eye, I can see clearly that they have distinguishable colors. I already have UV-Vis spectra (reflectance and absorbance) ranging from 200 to 1000 nm for each of these samples. I need to know can I determine the color of each of these samples using this UV-Vis spectroscopy and how can I do that?
Please kindly advise me.
Thanks.

I've been working with DFT-VASP and have a few questions regarding the calculation of screened/unscreened plasma frequency.
I'd like to outline my workflow and the parameters I've used, and I'd appreciate it if someone could confirm whether this approach is correct or suggest any necessary adjustments.
Workflow:
- Geometry Optimization: I initiated the process with a 6x6x6 k-grid.
- SCF Calculation: I performed a self-consistent field (SCF) calculation to generate the CHGCAR and WAVECAR files.
- Optical Property Calculation: To calculate the plasma frequency, I'm planning to use the LOPTICS = .TRUE. option with denser k-grid (18x18x18).
INCAR File:
- ISTART = 1
- ICHARG = 11
- LOPTICS = .TRUE. (to write optical properties in OUTCAR file)
- ENCUT = 450
- NELM = 100 (maximum number of electronic steps)
- EDIFF = 1.E-05 (energy stopping-criterion for electronic iterations)
- EDIFFG = -0.02 (force stopping-criterion for geometry steps)
- NSW = 0 (maximum number of geometry steps)
- IBRION = 2 (ionic relaxation method)
- ISIF = 2
- ISYM = 1
- POTIM = 0.05
is this workflow and the INCAR file correct? is it correct to user denser K-grid for optical properties?

I am using 4000 cP methyl cellulose for aqueous tape casting. Since it gives very viscous solution, I am dissolving it in 1.5 wt% in 98.5 wt% DI water. Still it is a very viscous solution. Because of a large quantity of inherent water coming from the MC binder solution, I cannot use more than 1 wt% binder active matter w.r.t powder in slurry, otherwise the powder settles down on container base and water floats on top and there is no mixing because of a lot of water.
What MC viscosity is better keeping in mind a higher possible weight percent dissolution in water? And in how much weightage should it be dissolved in water and at what temperature?
Since sedimentation of particles is very high, what do you recommend for usage of such sized particles for making a good slurry?

Biomaterial Question
Hi. I have been trying to synthesising gelatin microparticles using double emulsion method. After adding the oil-gelatin mixture in the ethanol with stirring, the particle seemed to formed but when I washed it with acetone and centrifuge, the precipitates seemed to formed big ball and when I tear it apart it seems like gelatin fiber (instead of microparticle).. Just curious does high speed centrifugation affects microparticle formation? Thanks 🙏

Hi,
I'm searching for a high positive dielectric anisotropy polymer, consisting of both rigid and flexible sections.
For clarity, this means a high dielectric constant in the direction of the polymer's backbone, the opposite of, for example, polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF).
My best guess would be a main-chain liquid crystal polymer with high dielectric anisotropy liquid crystal monomers, or some polyphenylene vinylene block co-polymer, but I'm searching for a specific polymer and not a general group of polymers.
I have limited synthesis possibilities, so comercially available polymers, or polymers synthesised from polymerisations from readily available monomers, are preferred.
I'm thankful for all suggestions!

Sumudu Transform:
The Sumudu transform is a generalized version of the Laplace and Fourier transforms. It has been used in diverse fields such as signal processing, image analysis, and mathematical biology. In recent years, the Sumudu transform has been applied to study the fractal properties of different systems. The fractal dimension is a measure of the complexity and self-similarity of fractal sets.
The Sumudu transform can be used to calculate the fractal dimension of different objects and systems. The basic idea is to use the scaling properties of the Sumudu transform to obtain a relation between the fractal dimension and the scaling exponent of the Sumudu transform. This relation can then be used to calculate the fractal dimension of different systems.
For example, the Sumudu transform has been used to study the fractal dimension of fractional Brownian motion, which is a self-similar stochastic process that is often used as a model for natural phenomena such as turbulence. The fractal dimension of fractional Brownian motion can be obtained by analyzing the scaling properties of its Sumudu transform. In general, the Sumudu transform can be used to study the fractal properties of different systems by providing a new way to analyze their scaling properties.
Caputo fractional derivatives:
Caputo fractional derivatives are a type of fractional derivative that take into account the initial conditions of a system. They are often used in modeling complex systems with anomalous diffusion, such as in fractals or porous media.
In these systems, the fractal dimension plays a key role in determining the behavior of the system over time. The fractal dimension describes how the system fills space, and can be thought of as a measure of how complex and irregular the system is.
When modeling these systems using Caputo fractional derivatives, the fractal dimension can be incorporated into the derivative itself, allowing for a more realistic and accurate representation of the system's behavior. This is done by replacing the usual order of differentiation with a fractional order that depends on the fractal dimension.
Fractal nonlocal derivatives:
Fractal nonlocal derivatives in fractal dimension refer to a mathematical concept which uses fractal geometry to define a nonlocal derivative operator. This operator is used to describe the behavior of a function on a fractal set, where traditional calculus may not apply because the fractal set has a non-integer dimension.
The idea behind fractal nonlocal derivatives is that the derivative of a function at a point on a fractal set is not just dependent on nearby points, but also on the global behavior of the function on the fractal set. This concept is important for understanding the behavior of complex systems that exhibit self-similarity and can be modeled using fractal geometry.
The use of fractal nonlocal derivatives has applications in fields such as physics, finance, and biology, where the behavior of systems on fractal sets is of interest. It is also an active area of research in mathematics, as it allows for the development of new tools to study and understand the behavior of functions on fractal sets.
Fractal differential equations:
Fractal differential equations are an important tool in studying fractals. These equations are formulated in terms of fractional calculus, an extension of classical calculus that deals with non-integer powers of differentiation and integration. Fractal differential equations are used to model physical, biological, and engineering systems that exhibit fractal behavior.
The term "fractal dimension" refers to the concept of measuring the complexity of a fractal object. It is a non-integer dimension, typically expressed as a real number between 1 and 2 for most fractals. Fractal differential equations can be formulated in terms of this dimension, allowing researchers to study the behavior of fractals in a more systematic way.
One example of a fractal differential equation is the so-called fractal heat equation. This equation describes how heat diffuses through a fractal medium, such as a fractal network of blood vessels or airways. Another example is the fractal wave equation, which describes the propagation of waves (such as light or sound) through a fractal medium.
Fractal differential equations have many applications in science and engineering. They have been used to model the behavior of porous materials, the electrical properties of fractal networks, and the dynamics of fluid flow through fractal geometries, among other things. In general, fractal differential equations provide a unique and powerful tool for understanding the complex behavior of fractal systems.
Fractional stochastic systems:
Fractional stochastic systems in fractal dimension are systems that exhibit both fractal geometry and randomness through the use of fractional calculus. Fractional calculus deals with non-integer orders of differentiation and integration, which enables modeling of phenomena that exhibit anomalous diffusion and memory effects. Fractal geometry pertains to objects that are self-similar at different scales, and characterized by a fractal dimension, which is a non-integer number between its topological and metric dimension.
Examples of fractional stochastic systems in fractal dimension could include the modeling of rainfall patterns, which exhibit fractal properties due to the self-similarity of the precipitation clusters, and can also be characterized as random processes. Another example is financial market modeling, which can be approached through fractional Brownian motion, a fractional diffusion process that can capture long-term dependence and volatility clustering of stock price time series.
The study of fractional stochastic systems in fractal dimension is an interdisciplinary field that combines mathematics, physics, and engineering, among others. It has diverse applications in various fields, such as signal processing, medical imaging, geophysics, and materials science, to name a few.
Fractal Picard iteration:
Fractal Picard iteration is a mathematical method used to find the fixed points of a self-similar mapping or contraction mapping. It involves repeatedly applying the mapping to an initial guess while keeping track of the intermediate results. The resulting sequence of iterates usually converges to the fixed point, which is the point that maps to itself under the mapping.
This method is especially useful for analyzing the behavior of fractals, which are objects that exhibit self-similarity at different scales. Fractal Picard iteration can be used to compute the attractors of fractal functions or to generate fractal patterns.
The procedure involves dividing the domain into smaller subdomains that are related by contractions. Each subdomain is then mapped to a smaller subset of the domain, which is then recursively subdivided and mapped again. The process is repeated several times until a self-similar pattern emerges.
Fractal Picard iteration is a powerful tool in mathematics, computer science, and physics, among other fields. It has many applications, including image compression, data analysis, and the modeling of complex systems such as turbulence and chaos.
Fractional differential equations:
Fractional differential equations in fractal dimension are mathematical models that describe the behavior of systems with fractal geometry using fractional calculus. In these equations, the order of the derivative is non-integer, and thus they are a powerful tool for modeling phenomena that exhibit complex, non-linear behavior.
Fractal geometry is characterized by structures that exhibit self-similarity at different scales. Fractional differential equations in fractal dimension allow us to model complex systems that exhibit this self-similarity, and to study their behavior over different scales.
Such equations have applications in physics, biology, finance, and engineering. They are used, for example, in modeling the behavior of porous materials, in predicting the spread of infectious diseases, in predicting the behavior of financial markets, and in modeling the conduction of heat in materials.

I admitted as an undergraduate to multiple universities in Arizona and Colorado! I have been actively looking for admission to the university to continuously prepare me as an investigator/innovation scientist in mineral exploration by building my foundational knowledge in metallurgy, chemistry, control systems engineering, geochemistry, geophysics, etc. These might be included in my coursework.
My focus may be on "control system engineering" compared to "geoscience," as I want to spend my effort investigating sensor innovation using metallurgy, geophysics, chemistry, etc. for mineral exploration. Precisely, investigative research will be on creating "detection technology for purposing of Mining exploration and extraction"
So, I'm confused with two queries:
1. Which university would be the best option based on my research interests?
2. Which major and region for internship/ real time research job corresponds to what I'm actually looking for?
Hope you already understand I’ve applied many universities with getting rejection that didn’t also find exact research team yet I’m looking. Thank you so much.

Hello dear researchers
I am confused, I calculated by DFT the dielectric tensor as a function of frequency for BaTiO3 and found a value of the dielectric constant which is 6.5, while in the experimental studies they studied this constant as a function of temperature and they found values in the order of 6000.
My question is: is there a difference between the theoretical and experimental dielectric constant? Is it normal to find such values or have I made mistakes in the DFT calculation ???

I have substituted cerium metal ions (Ce3+) inside HA crystal lattice. How can I measure change in lattice parameters of HA unit cells after cerium ion substitution? Normally, we use . 1/d2 = (4/3){(h2 + hk + k2)/a2} + (l2/c2) equation to calculate a and c lattice parameters. In this equation, (hkl) and d values are required to calculate a and c values. There are several signature peaks of HA like (002), (210), (211), (112), (300), (202), (310), (222), (213) and (004). Each peak has different hkl and d values.
How can I calculate d value precisely for specific peak?
Should I calculate a and c values for all signatured peaks of HA.
It would be nice, if you guide me about it.
Thanks

Dear Researchers :
I have this question and I have an hypothesis:
Why Natural HDPE, when extruded at temperatures about 100 °C (around) it has a white (but pale white), and then when the polymer cools down it color turns between white an yellow.
I understand that this phenomenon it is a general case of all LLDPE, LDPE and HDPE , and in all fabrication processes : Extrusion, injection, molding, pressing, etc.
So this is fundamentally, a chemical characteristic of the material ...
It has to do with a change in the Oxygen concentration in the material ?
Thank you all in advance,
Best Regards !
