Glass forming ability of lone-pair semiconductors was analyzed for (x = 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10) system. Values of lone pair electrons L were calculated using average coordination number of valence electrons. These values were found to decrease, as the system was moving towards the rigid region. L > 3 values showed vitreous state. Deviation of the stoichiometry confirmed the chalcogen-rich region. A linear correlation was found between the mean bond energy and glass transition temperature. Chemical Bond Approach model was applied to calculate the cohesive energy of the system. A linear relationship was found to exist between the cohesive energy and the theoretical band gap, calculated using Shimakawa relation. A decrease in both parameters was explained on the basis of average stabilization energy and electronegativity of the system. The density values were found to increase and may account for higher refractive index of the system. Large Bohr radius of the Bi atom accounted for an increase in the polarizability. Other parameters viz. degree of covalency, packing density, compactness, molar volume, free volume percentage, excess volume and polaron radius were also calculated. An effort was made to correlate the effect of Bi addition to Ge12Se76 – xAs12Bix lone-pair semiconductor on the basis of the structure of the glassy matrix or the connectedness of the material.

The present study illustrates the effect of 24-epibrassinolide (24-EBL) on morphological and biochemical parameters in radish (Raphanus sativus L.) seedlings grown under nickel (Ni) ion stress. The radish seeds pre-soaked in different concentrations of 24-EBL were sown in petridishes containing various concentrations of heavy metal (Ni).Observations were made on root/shoot length, fresh biomass, activities of antioxidant enzymes (ascorbate peroxidase, superoxide dismutase, catalase, monodehydroascorbate reductase, dehydroascorbate reductase, guaiacol peroxidase and glutathione reductase), lipid peroxidation, proline and protein content in 7-day-old Ni-stressed radish seedlings. Results indicate that seeds presoaked with 24-EBL reduced the impact of Ni-stress which was evident by assessing the morphological parameters, protein content and antioxidant enzyme activities. It was also observed that 24-EBL reduced the toxicity of heavy metal by influencing proline and malondialdehyde (MDA) content. The present study lays a foundation for understanding the role of 24-EBL in heavy metal stress amelioration, particularly in food crop. Analysis of behaviour of antioxidant enzymes will play a critical role in understanding the stress networking, further filling the knowledge gap on the subject.
