Growth, Structural and Micro hardness studies of KSbF4 and K2SbF5 crystals

Interest in Potassium Fluoro Antimonate crystals has been increased for the last four decades due its superionic conduction and its unusual electro-optic properties. Potassium tetra fluoro antimonate (KSbF4) and Potassium penta fluoro antimonite (K2SbF5) crystals have been grown by slow evaporation method. KSbF4 crystallizes into orthorhombic structure with a space group Pmmn. K2SbF5 belongs to orthorhombic crystal system with a space group Cmcm.nbsp Micro indentation analysis on these crystals indicates that they are moderately softer substances. Both crystals revealed reverse indentation size effect (RISE). Variation of stiffness constant with load has been discussed. Yield strength for KSbF4 and K2SbF5 crystals have been found out as 16.72 and 16.941 MPa respectively.nbs

International Perspectives on the Legal Environment for Selection

Perspectives from 22 countries on aspects of the legal environment for selection are presented in this article. Issues addressed include (a) whether there are racial/ethnic/religious subgroups viewed as "disadvantaged,” (b) whether research documents mean differences between groups on individual difference measures relevant to job performance, (c) whether there are laws prohibiting discrimination against specific groups, (d) the evidence required to make and refute a claim of discrimination, (e) the consequences of violation of the laws, (f) whether particular selection methods are limited or banned, (g) whether preferential treatment of members of disadvantaged groups is permitted, and (h) whether the practice of industrial and organizational psychology has been affected by the legal environmen
