We describe the characterization of sputtered yttria-zirconia composition spread thin films by x-ray fluorescence (XRF). We also discuss our automated analysis of the XRF data, which was collected in a high throughput experiment at the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source. The results indicate that both the composition reproducibility of the library deposition and the composition measurements have a precision of better than 1 atomic percent.

With the increasing demand for energy, nuclear energy has been developing rapidly. The quantitative detection and qualitative identification of uranium (U) are of great significance for the comprehensive and efficient use of U resources and the control of nuclear and radioactive substances. In this study, the detection of U is divided into liquid sample detection, solid sample detection, gas sample detection, and industrial detection from the perspectives of the sample state and detection environment.

This study investigates the structure-property relationships of a series of phenylhydrazones bearing various electron-donating and electron-withdrawing substituents, such as methoxy, dimethylamino, morpholinyl, hydroxyl, chloro, bromo, and nitro groups. The compounds were synthesized, and their structures were characterized using single-crystal X-ray diffraction, powder X-ray diffraction, FTIR spectroscopy, NMR spectroscopy, and DSC. Three-dimensional excitation-emission matrix (3D-EEM) fluorescence spectroscopy and UV-Vis spectroscopy were employed to elucidate the complex interplay between the molecular skeleton, substituents, and the resulting photophysical properties.

Objectives: Highly translucent yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) has become more popular due to its enhanced aesthetics. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of traditional air abrasion and a new etching and cleaning agent, Multi Etchant, on the mechanical performance, optical properties, and bond strength of highly translucent zirconia.

Methods: Specimens of 6YSZ, 5YSZ, 4YSZ&5YSZ, and conventional 3YSZ were fabricated and underwent different surface treatments, including as milled, air abrasion, and Multi Etchant.
