Materials Data on Mg(TiN)2 by Materials Project

Mg(TiN)2 crystallizes in the tetragonal P-4m2 space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of one Mg(TiN)2 sheet oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. Mg2+ is bonded to four equivalent N3- atoms to form corner-sharing MgN4 tetrahedra. All Mg–N bond lengths are 2.08 Å. Ti2+ is bonded in a water-like geometry to two equivalent N3- atoms. Both Ti–N bond lengths are 1.90 Å. N3- is bonded to two equivalent Mg2+ and two equivalent Ti2+ atoms to form corner-sharing NMg2Ti2 tetrahedra.

Cation Data for the East River Watershed, Colorado (2014-2025)

This data package contains mean values for cation concentration for water samples taken from the East River Watershed in Colorado. Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) has been used to measure the concentrations of elements of interest simultaneously for the East River Watershed, Colorado groundwater and surface water samples to inform insights on the biogeochemistry processes within the watershed. The East River is part of the Watershed Function Scientific Focus Area (WFSFA) located in the Upper Colorado River Basin, United States. For samples collected prior to 06-16-2021, the instrumentation, Elan DRC II, PerkinElmer SCIEX, automatically switches among the three models necessary to analyze all 37 elements. These 37 elements include: (1) Lithium (Li), Beryllium (Be), Boron (B), Sodium (Na), Magnesium (Mg), Aluminium (Al), Silicon (Si), Phosphorus (P), Titanium (Ti), Cobalt (Co), Nickel (Ni), Copper (Cu), Zinc (Zn), Germanium (Ge), Arsenic (As), Rubidium (Rb), Strontium (Sr), Zirconium (Zr), Molybdenum (Mo), Silver (Ag), Cadmium (Cd), Tin (Sn), Antimony (Sb), Caesium (Cs), Barium (Ba), Europium (Eu), Lead (Pb), Thorium (Th), Uranium (U) using standard model, argon Ar as reaction gas, (2) Potassium (K), Calcium (Ca), Vanadium (V), Chromium (Cr), Manganese (Mn), Iron (Fe) using dynamic reaction cell (DRC) model, ammonia NH3 as reaction gas, and (3) Phosphorus (P) and Selenium (Se) using DRC model, oxygen O2 as reaction gas. Note for the samples with higher concentrations of chloride (Cl-), asenic (As) concentrations were analysed with DRC model (oxygen O2 as reaction gas) to avoid the interference of chloride. For samples collected on and after 06-16-2021, an advanced Agilent 8900 triple quadrupole inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry system (Agilent 8900 QQQ ICP-MS, Agilent Technologies) has been used to measure the concentrations of interested 36 elements simultaneously for environmental samples, including (1) Lithium (Li), Beryllium (Be) and Boron (B) using standard no gas mode, (2) Sodium (Na), Magnesium (Mg), Aluminium (Al) Phosphorus (P), Potassium (K), Chromium (Cr), Manganese (Mn), Iron (Fe), Cobalt (Co), Nickel (Ni), Copper (Cu), Zinc (Zn), Germanium (Ge), Arsenic (As), Rubidium (Rb), Strontium (Sr), Zirconium (Zr), Molybdenum (Mo), Silver (Ag), Cadmium (Cd), Tin (Sn), Antimony (Sb), Cesium (Cs), Barium (Ba), Europium (Eu), Lead (Pb), Thorium (Th) and Uranium (U) using standard helium (He) collision mode, (3) Titanium (Ti) and Vanadium (V) using high Energy (HEHe) helium (He) collision mode, and (4) Silicon (Si), Calcium (Ca) and Selenium (Se) using standard H2 reaction mode. All samples were prepared/diluted with 2% (v/v) ultrapure nitric acid in Milli-Q water (18.2 mega ohm-cm), and analyzed under a rigorous quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) process. This data package contains (1) a zip file (cation_data_2014_2025.zip) containing a total of 5,849 files: 5.848 data files of cation data from across the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) Watershed Function Scientific Focus Area (SFA) which is reported in .csv files per location and a locations.csv (1 file) with latitude and longitude for each location; (2) a file-level metadata (v6_20260901_flmd.csv) file that lists each file contained in the dataset with associated metadata; (3) a data dictionary (v6_20260901_dd.csv) file that contains terms/column_headers used throughout the files along with a definition, units, and data type; (4) PDF and docx files for the detemination of Method Detection Limits (MDLs) for ICP-MS PerkinElmer DRC II instrumentation (Detemination_of_Method_Detection_Limits__MDLs__for_ICP_MS__PerkinElmer_Elan_DRC_II__LBL_Bldg74_Lab214D) for samples before November 2021; (5) PDF and docx files for the determination of MDLs for ICP-MS Agilent 8900 QQQ instrumentation (ICP_MS_Analysis_detection_limits_and_QA_QC_WenmingDong_updated_2026-08-06) for samples November 2021 and onward.

Carbon, Nitrogen, and Sulfur Analysis of the Cetama Viognier Standard Reference Material

The Viognier sample was analyzed for C, N, and S concentrations and stable isotope compositions using an Elementar Vario Isotope Cube Elemental Analyzer (EA) that is coupled to an IsoPrime PrecisION IRMS. Powder samples were placed in tin capsules and then loaded onto a rotary autosampler. The autosampler dropped samples into the EA, and samples were combusted at 1175 °C over tungsten oxide in a continuous stream of helium carrier gas. A pulse of oxygen is added to the gas stream resulting in flash combustion of the tin capsule containing the sample, which raises the reaction temperature to approximately 1800 °C for a few seconds. The combustion reaction produces SO 2 , N 2 and CO 2 from any sulfur, nitrogen and carbon present in the sample. The resulting gases were then passed through a reduced copper reactor that was heated to 850 °C, to reduce NO x to N 2 , reduce SO 3 to SO 2 , and trap any volatile halogen compounds on silver wool. Following water removal using an adsorption tube, the N 2 , CO 2 , and SO 2 analyte gases were separated and purified using purge-trap columns. The purified gases were then carried through a thermal conductivity detector. The detector signal was passed to software that calculated elemental abundances based on integrated peak areas. The sample gases were then passed to the IRMS and stable isotope ratios were measured. Raw sample peak areas were corrected by subtracting the average peak area from blanks consisting of empty tin capsules run using the same EA analysis method. Blanks were also run following each replicate to verify that all the material was combusted. The Viognier sample was analyzed in triplicate on two days (target sample masses: 30, 60 and 90 mg). The following standards were analyzed to calibrate EA-IRMS measurements: IAEA-C6, USGS-40, USGS-41, IAEA-S1, and IAEA-S2.

Iodine Capture with Metal-Functionalized Polyacrylonitrile Composite Beads Containing Ag 0 , Bi 0 , Cu 0 , or Sn 0 Particles

The capture of radioiodine from nuclear processes and the mitigation of environmental release are important topic areas of research. Some of the more commonly employed chemisorption-type iodine scavengers reported in the literature are based on metal-exchanged porous sorbents such as Ag-zeolites or metal-functionalized aerogels and xerogels. However, another option is to use zero-valent metals directly that have known high affinities for iodine gas [i.e., I2(g)]. In this study, fine metal particles of Ag0, Bi0, Cu0, and Sn0 were embedded in porous polyacrylonitrile (PAN) substrates at 75 mass% metal loadings within the form of ellipsoidal beads with maximum diameters of ~2–3 mm. These composite beads showed extremely high iodine loadings that are directly related to the metal particle loadings. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses of Ag0, Bi0, Cu0, and Sn0 particles as well as metal-PAN composite beads reacted with iodine gas at 120 ± 1 °C showed phases of AgI, BiI3, CuI, and SnI4, respectively. For the Ag-PAN, Cu-PAN, and Sn-PAN beads, no other crystalline peaks were observed in XRD for unreacted metal or oxidized metals after 48 h in saturated I2(g) at 120 ± 1 °C, whereas unreacted metallic Bi0 was observed within the Bi-PAN composites. However, after a 72 h exposure at 120 ± 1 °C, both the Bi0 particles and the Bi-PAN composites showed full conversion from Bi0 to BiI3 with XRD. Comparisons between mass uptake data and X-ray absorption spectroscopy were used to better understand the phase distribution of the Bi phases present in the Bi-PAN+I composites. The iodine loadings (mg iodine per g sorbent, or qe) for these materials were 1120 (Ag-Particle), 1382 (Bi-Particle-72h), 1033 (Cu-Particle), 3000 (Sn-Particle), 753 (Ag-PAN), 1012 (Bi-PAN-72h), 1457 (Cu-PAN), and 1669 (Sn-PAN). It is possible that inexpensive sorbents such as these could be deployed to help limit or prevent release of radioiodine to the environment.
