Pressure Effect Studies on the Spin‐Transition Behavior of a Dinuclear Iron(II) Compound
Magnetic studies into the effect of different hydrostatic pressures between ambient and 1.03 GPa on the high-spin (HS) i low-spin (LS) transition behavior of the dinuclear iron(II) compound [Fe II 2(PMAT)2](BF4)4·DMF (1, PMAT = 4-amino3,5-bis{[(2-pyridylmethyl)amino]methyl}-4H-1,2,4-triazole, DMF = N,N-dimethylformamide) have been carried out at 2– 300 K. Under ambient pressure, the sample studied exhibits a [HS–HS] to [HS–LS] half spin transition (ST) at T½ = 208 K without any thermal hysteresis. Increasing the pressure above 0.2 GPa causes an increase (initially rapid but above 0.5 GPa more gradual) of T½ as well as a matching reduction in the residual high-spin fraction at room temperatu…
Microstructural and magnetic characterization of dusts from a stone crushing industry in Birbhum, India
Abstract Stone dust sample collected from a stone crushing industry situated at Muhammad Bazar in Birbhum, India, is studied for its physical characterization using various techniques. Morphology and compositional analysis of the stone dust by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) reveal that the dust is an agglomeration of many tiny particles (0.32–2.12 μm), mostly having sharp edges, as well show microstructure heterogeneity. Elements present in the sample are detected by energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDX). The X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern analysis shows that the sample mainly contains minerals like anorthite, augite, esseneite and albite. An overall antiferromagnetic interaction …

Microstructural and magnetic characterization of fly ash from Kolaghat Thermal Power Plant in West Bengal, India
Abstract This paper reports on the physical nature of the fly ash sample of the Kolaghat Thermal Power Plant, India with an emphasis on its ultrafine nature. This paper also deals with the measurement of the magnetic properties of the fine particles of the fly ash sample. Particle sizes of this fly ash sample estimated from the SEM images lie within 0.16–5.50 μm, and the EDX spectral analysis indicates the presence of O, Al, Si, C, Fe, Mg, Na, K and Ti in this sample. From the XRD study, it is found that physical nature of conglomeration in the fly ash is crystalline and the major components are mullite (Al 6 Si 2 O 13 ) and quartz (SiO 2 ). Additionally, the presence of hematite, microclin…
