The reduction of copper chromite, CuCr(2)O(4), is followed by means of thermogravimetric analysis. The reduced state is studied by means of FT IR spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy and inelastic neutron scattering. The reduction of copper occurs in two stages: absorption of hydrogen at 250-400 degrees C and dehydration of the reduced state at above 450 degrees C. The measured vibrational spectra prove that a considerable amount of hydrogen is absorbed by the oxide structure with absorbed protons stabilized in OH and HOH-groups (geminal protons). Three groups of vibration bands are observed in the INS spectra, which can be assigned to stretching, bending and libration vibrations. An increase in the reduction temperature of copper chromite results in softening of the stretching and hardening of the bending vibrations, what can be related to the strengthening of hydrogen bonding.

In this study, we investigated the optoelectronic performance of magnesium spinel chromites with nickel (Ni) and copper (Cu) substitutions. Using the sol-gel method, we synthesized two spinel chromites: MgNiCrO (MNCO) and MgCuCrO (MCCO). We extensively characterized these samples to analyze their thermal, structural, elastic, and optical properties.

In this study, exploratory data analysis (EDA) methods, specifically boxplots, were employed to examine the composition of stream sediments in the Collo area of Northeast Algeria. The region's diverse lithological formations, interactions between permanent and temporary watercourses, intermittent flash floods, rugged topography, and fluctuating climatic conditions contribute significantly to data variability. Utilizing the boxplot's capabilities, our analytical approach successfully identified outliers, recorded the actual distribution of data, and determined skewness without the need for prior data processing, often required in conventional statistical studies.

Tissue engineering combines suitable cells, engineering methods, and proper biochemical factors to develop functional and biological tissues and repair damaged tissues. In this study, we focused on synthesizing and characterizing a nanocomposite scaffold based on glycerol and azelaic acid (Gl-Az) combined with copper chromite (CuCrO) nanoparticles in order to increase the osteogenic differentiation efficiency of human adipose-derived stem cells (hADSCs) on fabricated scaffolds. The degradability and hydrophobicity properties as well as mechanical and thermal behaviors of nanocomposite scaffolds were investigated.
