Creator:: Crossno, Stephen K.
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis
Full Text:: -earth substituted analogs, Ca1.76Sr2.24GdO(B03)3 and Ca3.38Mgcs.62GdO(B03)3. By analyzing crystal data

Creator:: Wesley, Robert Dee
Abstract:: The infrared absorption spectra (40-800 cm⁻¹) of the trifluorides of Sc, Y, La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Tb, Ho, Er, Tm, and Yb isolated in solid argon, krypton and nitrogen matrices have been obtained. For PrF₃ the symmetric and asymmetric stretching modes were observed; PrF₃ is accordingly assigned a...

Full Text:: GEOMETRY OF MATRIX ISOLATED RARE-EARTH AND IIIB METAL FLUORIDES Abstract approved: Redacted for Privacy

Creator:: Brown, M. Alex
Abstract:: Carboxylic acids have played an important role in the field of actinide (An) and lanthanide (Ln) separations and the reprocessing of irradiated nuclear fuel. Recent bench-scale experiments have demonstrated that 3-carboxy-3-hydroxypentanedioic acid (citric acid) is a promising aqueous complexant that can effectively aid in the separation of transition metals from...

Full Text:: coordination of metal ions between carboxylic groups, the feasibility of protonated metal complexes, and the

Creator:: Yang, Jon
Abstract:: The rare earth elements (REEs) have been established as powerful tracers for a range of physiochemical processes occurring in the natural environment. They also hold significant economic importance as many technological advancements are reliant upon the REEs for their unique magnetic, luminescent, and electrochemical characteristics. In sedimentary settings, understanding the...

Full Text:: March 17, 2017. Title: Unraveling the Diagenetic Cycling and Sequestration of Rare Earth Elements

Creator:: Rowbotham, Brian
Abstract:: The fate and transport of engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) such as titanium dioxide (TiO₂) are of concern due to their increasing use in consumer products. Although analytical methods for detection and quantification of ENPs in environmental matrices are being developed, these methods are difficult, time consuming, and not easily validated for...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis
Full Text:: by synthesizing TiO2 nanoparticles “labeled” with rare earth elements. Synthetic conditions will be

Creator:: Bliesner, Rebecca J.
Abstract:: Exploratory synthesis plays an important role in the quest to discover new materials. There are very few structurally characterized alkali metal containing bismuth vanadates. Hybridization of the 6s and 6p orbitals of Bi[superscript 3+] and the resulting lone electron pair yields some very interesting stereochemistry and steric related properties. Some...

Creator:: Haley, Brian Alexander, 1973-
Abstract:: This thesis describes the development of a rare earth element (REE) proxy for paleoceanographic studies of climate change. This work was done in three stages with the goal: (1) To develop a cleaning method that overcomes the problems of REE readsorption; (2) To measure pore water REEs for evaluation of...
