  • Crystallization and preliminary X‐ray diffraction analysis of XAC1151, a small heat‐shock protein from Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri belonging to the α‐crystallin family
    Acta Crystallographica Section F Structural Biology and Crystallization Communications, 2006
    Co-Authors: Eduardo Hilario, Elaine Cristina Teixeira, Gisele Audrei Pedroso, Maria Célia Bertolini, Francisco J. Medrano
    Abstract:

    The hspA gene (XAC1151) from Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri encodes a protein of 158 amino acids that belongs to the small heat-shock protein (sHSP) family of proteins. These proteins function as molecular chaperones by preventing protein aggregation. The protein was crystallized using the sitting-drop vapour-diffusion method in the presence of ammonium phosphate. X-ray diffraction data were collected to 1.65 A resolution using a synchrotron-radiation source. The crystal belongs to the Rhombohedral Space Group R3, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 128.7, c = 55.3 A. The crystal structure was solved by molecular-replacement methods. Structure refinement is in progress.

  • Synthesis, and study of magnetic properties, of Bi1−xCdxFeO3
    Journal of Materials Science, 2010
    Co-Authors: M. B. Bellakki, V. Manivannan
    Abstract:

    Ceramic Bi1−xCdxFeO3 (x = 0.0, 0.05, and 0.1) samples were prepared by a citrate-gel method. The as-prepared compounds were calcined at 600 °C for 3 h to obtain nearly single-phase materials. The crystal structure, examined by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and Rietveld analysis, confirmed that the samples crystallize in a Rhombohedral (Space Group, R-3c no. 161) structure. Magnetic measurements were carried out on the resultant powders from 300 to ~2.5 K. Magnetic hysteresis loops showed a significant increase in magnetization as a result of Cd doping in BiFeO3.

  • Citrate-gel synthesis and characterization of yttrium-doped multiferroic BiFeO_3
    Journal of Sol-Gel Science and Technology, 2010
    Co-Authors: M. B. Bellakki, V. Manivannan
    Abstract:

    Perovskite Bi_1− x Y_ x FeO_3 (0.0 ≤  x  ≤ 0.1) oxides were prepared by a citrate-gel method. The crystal structure examined by X-ray powder diffraction indicates that the samples were single-phase and crystallize in a Rhombohedral (Space Group, R-3c no. 161) structure. The structural phase transition from Rhombohedral to orthorhombic phase was observed at x  = 0.10. Increase in magnetization was observed as a result of Y doping. The optical band-gap of (Bi, Y)FeO_3 materials were determined. The observed increase in magnetization and low band-gap of (Bi, Y)FeO_3 ceramics position them for potential magenotoelectric and photocatalytic applications, respectively.

  • Synthesis and magnetic properties of BiFeO3 and Bi0.98Y0.02FeO3
    Materials Chemistry and Physics, 2009
    Co-Authors: M. B. Bellakki, V. Manivannan, C. Madhu, A. Sundaresan
    Abstract:

    Abstract Multiferroic BiFeO 3 and Bi 0.98 Y 0.02 FeO 3 samples were prepared by a solution combustion method using oxalyldihydrazide (ODH) as a fuel. The as-prepared compounds were annealed at 600 °C for 3 h to obtain single-phase materials. The crystal structure examined by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) indicates that the samples were of single phase and crystallize in a Rhombohedral (Space Group, R -3 c no.161) structure. Magnetic measurements were carried out on the resultant powders from 300 to ∼0 K. A significant increase in magnetization was observed for Y-doped BiFeO 3 .
