Structural, electronic, and magnetic properties of tetragonal Mn3-xGa: Experiments and first-principles calculations

TL;DR: In this article, the electronic, magnetic, and structural properties of binary intermetallic compounds were investigated and it was found that all these materials are hard magnetic, with energy products ranging from $10.1\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{m}}^{\ensuremath{-}3}$ for high Mn content to $61.1$ for low Mn content.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nanosized powders of NiZn ferrite: Synthesis, structure, and magnetism

TL;DR: In this paper, the structure and magnetic behavior of nanostructured powders of stoichiometric NiZn ferrite, Ni0.5Zn 0.5Fe2O4, synthesized by coprecipitation, are investigated by extended x-ray-absorption fine structure spectroscopy (EXAFS), xray diffraction, and vibrating sample magnetometry.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanism of anion retention from EXAFS and density functional calculations: Arsenic (V) adsorbed on gibbsite

TL;DR: X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy and density functional calculations were used to determine the structural model of arsenic surface complex on gibbsite mineral in this paper, which showed that As(V) forms an inner sphere bidentate binuclear complex on the surface of Al oxyhydroxyl octaedra.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synthesis and characterization of catalytic iridium nanoparticles in imidazolium ionic liquids

TL;DR: XPS and EXAFS analyses clearly show the interactions of the ionic liquid with the metal surface demonstrating the formation of an ionic Liquid protective layer surrounding the iridium nanoparticles.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synthesis and characterization of nickel nanoparticles dispersed in imidazolium ionic liquids

TL;DR: The diameter and size-distribution of Ni nanoparticles prepared by the decomposition of [bis(1,5-cyclooctadiene)nickel(0)] organometallic precursor dissolved in 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium N-bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl) amide ionic liquids depend on the length of the alkyl side-chain of the imidazolate ring.
