TL;DR: In this article, structural, optical and room temperature magnetic properties of Mn-doped MgO nanoparticles with Mn fractions (5-50 µm) were investigated and the obtained results suggest that both Mn doping and oxygen vacancies play an important role in the development of room temperature ferromagnetism.

Calcium aluminates hydration in presence of amorphous SiO2 at temperatures below 90 °C
TL;DR: The stoichiometry of Ca3Al2(SiO4)3� x(OH)4x (0p3� xp0.334), which was the main crystalline product, was established by Rietveld refinement of X-ray and neutron diffraction data and by transmission electron microscopy as discussed by the authors.
