Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms-SNPs01:05

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms-SNPs

18.3K
A single nucleotide polymorphism or SNP is a single nucleotide variation at a specific genomic position in a large population. It is the most prevalent type of sequence variation found in the human genome. Point mutations that occur in more than 1% of the population qualify as SNPs. These are present once every 1000 nucleotides on an average in the human genome. Replacement of a purine with another purine (A/G) or a pyrimidine with another pyrimidine (C/T) is known as a transition. In contrast,...

Factors Affecting Dissolution: Polymorphism, Amorphism and Pseudopolymorphism

719
Polymorphism refers to the existence of a drug substance in multiple crystalline forms, known as polymorphs. Recently, this term has been expanded to include solvates (forms containing a solvent), amorphous forms (non-crystalline forms), and desolvated solvates (forms from which the solvent has been removed).
Some polymorphic crystals possess lower aqueous solubility than their amorphous counterparts, leading to incomplete absorption. For instance, the oral suspension of Chloramphenicol, which...

Vapor Pressure02:34

Vapor Pressure

40.6K
When a liquid vaporizes in a closed container, gas molecules cannot escape. As these gas phase molecules move randomly about, they will occasionally collide with the surface of the condensed phase, and in some cases, these collisions will result in the molecules re-entering the condensed phase. The change from the gas phase to the liquid is called condensation. When the rate of condensation becomes equal to the rate of vaporization, neither the amount of the liquid nor the amount of the vapor...

Definition and Measurement of Pressure: Atmospheric Pressure, Barometer, and Manometer

43.3K
Gas pressure is caused by force exerted by gas molecules colliding with the surfaces of objects. Although the force of each collision is very small, any surface of an appreciable area experiences a large number of collisions in a short time, which can result in high pressure.

Constant Pressure Calorimetry03:02

Constant Pressure Calorimetry

97.7K
Calorimetry is a technique used to measure the amount of heat involved in a chemical or physical process or to measure the heat transferred to or from a substance. The heat is exchanged with a calibrated and insulated device called the calorimeter. Calorimetry experiments are based on the assumption that there is no heat exchange between the insulated calorimeter and the external environment. The well-insulated calorimeters prevent the transfer of heat between the calorimeter and its external...

Area of Science:

  • Condensed Matter Physics
  • Materials Science
  • Superconductivity Research

Background:

  • Barium iron selenide (BaFe2Se3) is a material of interest for its potential superconducting properties.
  • Previous studies indicated a superconducting transition temperature (Tc) of 11 K at ambient pressure.
  • The presence of potential iron selenide (FeSe) impurities, which also superconduct, necessitates distinguishing the origin of superconductivity in BaFe2Se3.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the intrinsic superconductivity of BaFe2Se3 under high pressure.
  • To differentiate between superconductivity originating from BaFe2Se3 and potential FeSe impurities.
  • To characterize the structural transformations of BaFe2Se3 under applied pressure.

Main Methods:

  • Electrical resistivity measurements up to 20 GPa.
  • Single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies up to 51 GPa.
  • Analysis of superconducting transition temperature (Tc) as a function of pressure.

Main Results:

  • Superconductivity persists around 10 K at 5 GPa, supporting intrinsic superconductivity in BaFe2Se3.
  • The superconducting signal is suppressed at higher pressures, with the material becoming insulating above 20 GPa.
  • Two structural phase transitions were observed: a second-order transition above 3.5 GPa (Pnma to Cmcm) and a first-order transition at 16.6 GPa (γ-BaFe2Se3 to δ-BaFe2Se3).

Conclusions:

  • The superconductivity observed in BaFe2Se3 is intrinsic to the material, not due to FeSe impurities.
  • BaFe2Se3 undergoes significant structural changes under pressure, including transitions to Cmcm and a distinct δ-phase.
  • High pressure leads to the suppression of superconductivity and the emergence of an insulating state in BaFe2Se3.
