High-temperature Raman spectroscopy of K 2 Ca(CO 3 ) 2 bütschliite and Na 2 Ca 2 (CO 3 ) 3 shortite

Raman spectra of Na 2 Ca 2 (CO 3 ) 3 shortite and K 2 Ca(CO 3 ) 2 bütschliite were measured to 715°C and 740°C respectively, under vacuum. The vibrational spectra demonstrate that shortite converts to nyerereite (Na 2 Ca(CO 3 ) 2 ) and calcite at 535°C. This assemblage is stable to ~700°C, where nyerereite begins to decompose. Bütschliite converts to the isochemical phase fairchildite at 570°C, which is stable to 665°C, where it decomposes to an assemblage of K 2 CO 3 and CaO. The variation of anharmonicity between different vibrational modes of each of the low temperature phases is assessed, and these yield insights into inter-carbonate group couplings. In conclusion, both fairchildite and nyerereite exhibit spectral features consistent with extensive disordering.

Characterizing the Mechanisms of Ca and Mg Carbonate Ion-Pair Formation with Multi-Level Molecular Dynamics/Quantum Mechanics Simulations

The carbonate minerals of Ca and Mg are abundant throughout the lithosphere and have recently garnered significant research interest as possible long-term carbon sinks in the sequestration of atmospheric carbon dioxide. Nonetheless, an understanding of the atomic-level processes comprising their mineralization remains limited. Furthermore, we characterize and contrast the mechanisms of contact ion-pair formation in aqueous Ca and Mg carbonate systems, which represents the most fundamental step leading to the formation of their mineral solids. Utilizing multilevel embedded correlated wavefunction-based ab initio molecular dynamics/quantum mechanics simulations, we characterize not only the dynamics of these processes but also factors arising from the electronic structure of the involved species, revealing further details of the fundamentally different mechanisms for the interconversion between the contact ion-pairs and solvent-shared ion-pairs of Ca versus Mg carbonate.

Investigation of Ca Insertion into α-MoO 3 Nanoparticles for High Capacity Ca-Ion Cathodes

Calcium-ion batteries (CIBs) are a promising alternative to lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to the low redox potential of calcium metal and high abundance of calcium compounds. Due to its layered structure, α-MoO 3 is regarded as a promising cathode host lattice. While studies have reported that α-MoO 3 can reversibly intercalate Ca ions, limited electrochemical activity has been noted, and its reaction mechanism remains unclear. Here, we re-examine Ca insertion into α-MoO 3 nanoparticles with a goal to improve reaction kinetics and clarify the storage mechanism. The α-MoO 3 electrodes demonstrated a specific capacity of 165 mA h g –1 centered near 2.7 V vs Ca 2+ /Ca, stable long-term cycling, and good rate performance at room temperature. Furthermore, this work demonstrates that, under the correct conditions, layered oxides can be a promising host material for CIBs and renews prospects for CIBs.

Trapping Ca + inside a molecular cavity: computational study of the potential energy surfaces for Ca + -[ n ]cycloparaphenylene, n = 5–12

Ion trap quantum computing utilizes electronic states of atomic ions such as Ca + to encode information on to a qubit. To explore the fundamental properties of Ca + inside molecular cavities, we describe here a computational study of Ca + bound inside neutral [n]-cycloparaphenylenes (n = 5–12), often referred to as “nanohoops”. This ab initio study characterizes optimized structures, harmonic vibrational frequencies, potential energy surfaces, and ion molecular orbital distortion as functions of increasing nanohoop size. Here the results of this work provide a first step in guiding experimental studies of the spectroscopy of these ion-molecular cavity complexes.

Texture and microstructure evolution in thermomechanically processed Mg-Ca and Mg-Zn-Ca alloys

Mg-Zn-Ca alloys have the potential for producing Mg alloy sheets with weaker basal textures and therefore improved formability. Thermomechanical processing (TMP) also plays a substantial role in determining the final sheet texture. The interplay of these variables, TMP and alloying, complicates comparisons of alloys across the literature. This work systematically explores the texture evolution and recrystallization behavior in Mg-Ca and Mg-Zn-Ca alloys during plane strain compression (PSC) using a Gleeble thermomechanical simulator. It is demonstrated that the basal texture intensity and texture characteristics change significantly during post-deformation annealing, particularly in the ternary alloys. It is also shown that careful selection of the TMP processing variables used during PSC is essential to producing weak textures. In particular, it is important to limit the recrystallization that occurs between compressive hits. This is achieved by adjusting solute content, strain rate, and the duration of the soak between passes.

The Zintl phases A In 2 As 2 (A = Ca, Sr, Ba): new topological insulators and thermoelectric material candidates

Recently, there has been a lot of interest in topological insulators (TIs), being electronic materials, which are insulating in their bulk but with the gapless exotic metallic state on their surface. The surface states observed in such materials behave as a perfect conductor thereby making them more suited for several cutting-edge technological applications such as spintronic devices. Here, we report the synthesis and structural characterization of the Zintl phases AIn 2 As 2 (A = Ca, Sr, Ba), which could become a new class of TIs. Crystal structure elucidation by single-crystal X-ray diffraction reveals that CaIn 2 As 2 and SrIn 2 As 2 are isostructural and crystallize in the EuIn 2 P 2 structure type (space group P6 3 /mmc, no. 194, Z = 2) with unit cell parameters a = 4.1482(6) Å, c = 17.726(4) Å; and a = 4.2222(6) Å, c = 18.110(3) Å, respectively. Their hexagonal structure is made up of alternating [In 2 As 2 ] 2– layers separated by slabs of A 2+ cations. BaIn 2 As 2 on the other hand crystallizes in the monoclinic EuGa 2 P 2 structure type (space group P2/m, no. 10, Z = 4) with unit cell parameters a = 10.2746(11) Å, b = 4.3005(5) Å, c = 13.3317(14) Å and β = 95.569(2)°. This structure is also layered, and it is made up of different type of polyanionic [In 2 As 2 ] 2– units and Ba 2+ cations. The valence electron count for all three compounds adheres to the Zintl-Klemm formalism, and all elements achieve closed-shell electronic configurations. Bulk electronic structure calculations indicate the opening of a bandgap E g ~ 0.03 eV (CaIn 2 As 2 and Sr 2 In 2 As 2 ), and E g ~0.21 eV (BaIn 2 As 2 ) in the absence of strain and spin–orbit coupling (SOC). Furthermore, these results argue in favor of the realization of a nontrivial topological insulator state under the influence of tensile strain and SOC. Preliminary transport properties on BaIn 2 As 2 are suggestive of a degenerate p-type semiconductor—a behavior which is sought after in thermoelectric (TE) materials. Since both TIs and excellent TE materials are known to favor the same material properties such as narrow bandgap, heavy elements, and strong SOC, these three Zintl phases are also projected as candidates TE materials.
