Crystalline compound RbV2SeO7, a Rb analogue of KV2SeO7, was synthesized from a hydrothermal reaction of V2O5, V2O3, SeO2, and Rb2CO3 in the mole ratio 3: 1: 15: 6 (in millimoles) at 230℃. RbV2SeO7 crystallizes in an orthorhombic space group Pnma (No. 62) with a=18.444(8), b=5.415(3), c=7.070(4) Å, Z=8. The two structures of KV2SeO7 and RbV2SeO7 are almost the same except that bond lengths in the latter are slightly longer than in the former. The magnetic susceptibility measurement for RbV2SeO7 in the temperature range 4-300 K showed an antiferromagnetic ordering with TN=45 K, higher than that for KV2SeO7 of 27 K. The origin of the magnetic coupling and the different ordering temperatures in the two phases are discussed in relation to the crystal structures.

The sorption of $AsO_4,\;SeO_3,\;CrO_4$ on schwertmannite and thermal analysis of sorbed samples were carried out. The results of sorption experiments showed that sorption characteristics of those three oxyanions on schwertmannite can be divided into two groups. The extent of sorption of $AsO_4$ and $SeO_3$ were 100% at up to 1 mM solution concentration, and they increased no more significantly. This can be interpreted as $AsO_4$ and $SeO_3$ substituting $SO_4$ in schwertmannite strucure by the ratio of 1 : 1. The extent of the sorption of $CrO_4$ was much lower than those of other two oxyanions. Thermal analysis was performed using two kinds of sorbed samples at 0.1 and 1.25 mM concentrations. The results of the thermal analysis showed that the samples sorbed by three different oxyanions have different thermal characteristics. The samples sorbed by $AsO_4$ showed smaller weight loss around $600^{\circ}C$ than the original loss of pure schwertmannite, and it is attributed to the substitution of $AsO_4$ for $SO_4$, which was caused by the loss of $SO_4$, than pure schwertmannite due to the substitution of $SO_4$ by $AsO_4$. It also showed additional weight loss around $600^{\circ}C$ due to the decomposition of $AsO_4$ at that temperature. The weight loss of samples sorbed by $SeO_3$ started at slightly lower temperature than that sorbed by $SO_4$ and kept that loss at wider temperature range, probably indicating that the decomposition of $SeO_3$ occurs at slightly lower temperature. However, for the samples sorbed by $CrO_4$, the weight loss caused by the decomposition of $SO_4$ was also smaller and there was no additional weight loss at higher temperature due to the thermal stability of $CrO_4$, indicating that $SO_4$ was also substituted by $CrO_4$ in schwertmannite. Sorption experiment and thermal analysis indicate that $CrO_4$ sorbs on schwertmannite by substiuting $SO_4$, but the affinity to $SO_4$ or instability of $CrO_4$ in scwertmannite structure probably prohibit perfect 1 : 1 substitution.

Single crystal of fully dehydrated and partially Ca²⁺-exchanged zeolites A (|Ca₄Na₄|[Si₁₂Al₁₂O₄₈]-LTA) was brought into contact with Se in fine pyrex capillary at 523 K for 5 days. Crystal structure of Se-sorbed |Ca₄Na₄|[Si₁₂Al₁₂O₄₈]-LTA has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques at 294 K in the cubic space group $Pm{\bar{3}}m$ (a = 12.2787(13) Å). The crystal structure of yellow |Ca₄Na₄Se₄|[Si₁₂Al₁₂O₄₈]-LTA has been refined to the final error indices of R₁/wR₂ = 0.0960/0.3483 with 327 reflections for which F_o > 4s(F_o). In this structure, 4 Na⁺ and 4 Ca²⁺ ions fill every 6-ring site: These ions are all found at three crystallographic positions, on 3-fold axes equipoints of opposite 6-rings. Selenium atoms are found at three crystallographically distinct positions: 2 Se atoms per unit cell at Se(1) are located opposite 6-rings in the sodalite cavity (Se(1)-Na(1) = 2.53(5) Å) and 1 at Se(2) opposite 4-rings (Se(2)-O(1) = 2.76(10) Å) and 1 at Se(3) opposite 6-rings in the large cavity (Se(3)-Na(1) = 2.48(5) Å). Two molecular of Se₂ (Se(1)-Se(1) = 2.37(7) or 2.90(8) Å and Se(2)-Se(3) = 2.91(5) ) Å) are found in all sodalite cavity and large cavity. Other clusters such as Se₄ and Se₈ could be existed in large cavity. The inter-selenium distances turned out to be longer that of gases Se₂ molecule.

In this study, we examined the photo-degradation efficiency of $CoSe_2$-Graphene-$TiO_2$ ($CoSe_2-G-TiO_2$) nanocomposites under visible light irradiation using rhodamine B (RhB) as standard dye. $CoSe_2-G-TiO_2$ nanocomposites were synthesized by ultrasonication and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Raman spectroscopic analysis and UV-Vis absorbance spectra analysis. Our results show that the $CoSe_2-G-TiO_2$ nanocomposite exhibited significant photo degradation efficiency compared to pure $TiO_2$ and $CoSe_2-G$, approximately 85.2% of the rhodamine (Rh B) degraded after 2.5 h. It is concluded that the $CoSe_2-G-TiO_2$ nanocomposite is a promising candidate for use in dye pollutants.

Incubation periods of P. cornucopiae are 20~23 days per each low concentration treatment with $Na_2SeO_3$. Compared to the control which took 22 days of incubation period, it is reduced 1 or 2 days. Mycelial density of P. cornucopiae treated with $Na_2SeO_3$ between 100 and $500{\mu}g/50g$ is very compact. DPI of P. cornucopiae treated with $Na_2SeO_3$ between 100 and $400{\mu}g/50g$ was reduced 1 or 2days, but $500{\mu}g/50g$ was increased 1 day. Number of valid stipes of P. cornucopiae treated with $Na_2SeO_3$ between 100 and $400{\mu}g/50g$ is between 19 and 20. It was increased 1 or 2, as compared to 18 of control, but $500{\mu}g/50g$ was reduced to 1. Individual weight of P. cornucopiae treated with $Na_2SeO_3$ between 100 and $400{\mu}g/50g$ was between 129 and 138g/850cc. It was increased 4.9~12.2% as compared to 123g/850cc of the control but $500{\mu}g/50g$ was 122g/50g. Accumulation amount of organic selenium for P. cornucopiae treated with $Na_2SeO_3$ between 100 and $500{\mu}g/50g$ was $2.73{\sim}8.19{\mu}g/g/dry$. It was increased 55~164 times as the concentration increased when compared to $0.05{\mu}g/g/dry$ of the control. In conclusion, incubation period, mycelial density, DPI, number of valid stipes, individual weight and accumulation amounts of organic selenium for P. cornucopiae by treating 100, ${\sim}400{\mu}g$ of $Na_2SeO_3$ was increased, but $500{\mu}g/50g$ was reduced.

This preliminary feeding trial was conducted to study the effects of different dietary selenium (Se) levels on growth performance and toxicity in juvenile black seabream, Acanthopagrus schlegeli (Bleeker). Fish averaging $7.0{\pm}0.1g$ ($mean{\pm}SD$) were fed one of the five semi-purified diets containing 0.21, 0.30, 0.52, 1.29 and 12.3 mg sodium selenite ($Na_2SeO_3$)/kg diet (Se 0.21, Se 0.30, Se 0.52, Se 1.29 or Se 12.3) for 15 weeks. After the feeding trial, weight gain (WG), feed efficiency (FE), specific growth rate (SGR) and protein efficiency ratio (PER) of fish fed Se 0.21, Se 0.30, Se 0.52 and Se 1.29 diets were not significantly different, however fish fed Se 12.3 diet showed significantly lower WG, FE, SGR and PER than those of fish fed the other diets (p<0.05). Fish fed Se 0.21, Se 0.30, Se 0.52, Se 1.29 and Se 12.3 diets showed no significant differences in hematocrit (PCV), hemoglobin (Hb) and red blood cells (RBC), however fish fed Se 12.3 diet showed lower values of PCV, Hb and RBC than those of fish fed the other diets. Histopathological lesions such as tubular necrosis and polycystic dilation of tubules in the kidney tissues were observed in fish fed Se 12.3 diet. Se was accumulated in a dose-dependent manner in the liver, kidney, muscle and gill tissues. Based on the results of this preliminary feeding trial, a dietary Se level of 0.21 mg $Na_2SeO_3/kg$ diet could be optimal for proper growth performances, and a dietary Se level of 12.3 mg $Na_2SeO_3/kg$ diet may ultimately be toxic to juvenile black seabream, Acanthopagrus schlegeli.

Mn-doped $ZnGa_{2}O_{4}$:$Mn^{2+}$ (M=S, Se) thin film phosphors have been grown using a pulsed laser deposition technique under various growth conditions. The structural characterization carr~ed out on a series of $ZnGa_{2}O_{4}$:$Mn^{2+}$ (M=S, Se) films grown on MgO(l00) substrates usmg Zn-rich ceramic targets. Oxygen pressure was varied from 50 to 200 mTorr and Zn/Ga ratio was the function of oxygen pressure. XRD patterns showed that the lattice constants of the $ZnGa_{2}O_{4}$:$Mn^{2+}$ (M=S, Se) thin film decrease with the substitution of sulfur and selenium for the oxygen in the $ZnGa_2O_4$. Measurements of photoluminescence (PL) properties of $ZnGa_{2}O_{4}$:$Mn^{2+}$ (M=S, Se) thin films have indicated that MgO(100) is one of the most promised substrates for the growth of high quality $ZnGa_2O_{4-x}M_{x}$:$Mn^{2+}$ (M=S, Se) thin films. In particular, the incorporation of Sulfur or Selenium into $ZnGa_2O_4$ lattice could induce a remarkable increase in the intensity of PL. The increasing of green emission intensity was observed with $ZnGa_2O_{3.925}Se_{0.075}:$Mn^{2+}$ and $ZnGa_2O_{3.925}S_{0.05}$:$Mn^{2+}$ films, whose brightness was increased by a factor of 3.1 and 1.4 in comparison with that of $ZnGa_{2}O_{4}$:$Mn^{2+}$ films, respectively. These phosphors may promise for application to the flat panel displays.

Using the extended Hackel molecular orbital method in connection with the tight binding model, we have studied electronic structure and related properties of the charged cluster models relating to superconducting $YBa_{2}Cu_{3}O_{7-x}$, crystals in which O-atoms in regular sites were selectively replaced with Se atoms. In analogy to the isomorphism problem with molecules, we discuss all possible combinations of Se-substitutions in O-sites with one, two, and four Se atoms. The calculations are carried out within charged cluster models for analogues of YBa-copper oxide. Our results suggest that the electronic structure of the symmetrically Se-substituted or Se-added compound is closer to that of the YBCO superconducting compound than that obtained from the unsymmetrical substitution. This applies in particular if O is replaced with Se around the Cu(1) site. Symmetrical substitutions in the $CuO_2$ layers give rise to large variations in the electronic structure of $YBa_{2}Cu_{3}O_{7}$. This is consistent with the fact that superconductivity is very sensitive to the electronic population of the $CuO_2$ layers.

This paper introduces a microwave-assisted synthesis method to prepare hybrid $Bi_2Se_3-GR/TiO_2$ nanocomposites, which exhibit superior properties over single component materials. The as-prepared composites were characterized by XRD, UV-vis absorbance spectra, SEM,TEM, EDX, and BET analyses, revealing uniform covering of the graphene nanosheet with $Bi_2Se_3$ and $TiO_2$ nanocrystals. For visible light photocatalysis of Rh.B, a significant enhancement in the reaction rate was consequently observed with $Bi_2Se_3-GR/TiO_2$ composites. The degradation rate($k_{app}$) obtained for sonophotocatalysis was $6.8{\times}10^{-3}min^{-1}$, roughly 2.2 times better than that of VL photocatalysis under higher concentrations of Rh.B. The sonophotocatalysis was faster due to greater formation of reactive radicals as well as an increase of the active surface area of the $Bi_2Se_3-GR/TiO_2$ composites. The high activity is attributed to the synergetic effects of high charge mobility and red shift of the absorption edge of $Bi_2Se_3-GR/TiO_2$.
