Intercalation effect on hyperfine parameters of Fe in FeSe superconductor with Tc = 42 K
57Fe-Mossbauer spectra of superconducting beta-FeSe, the Li/NH3 intercalate product and a subsequent sample of this intercalate treated with moist He gas have been measured in temperature range 4.7 - 290 K. A correlation is established between hyperfine parameters and critical temperature Tc in these phases. A strong increase of isomer shift upon intercalation is explained by a charge transfer from the Li/NH3 intercalate to the FeSe layers resulting in an increase of Tc up to 42 K. A significant decrease of the quadrupole splitting above 240 K has been attributed to diffusive motion of Li+ ions within the interlamellar space.
Ba 6 P 12 N 17 O 9 Br 3 – A Column‐Type Phosphate Structure Solved from Single‐Nanocrystal Data Obtained by Automated Electron Diffraction Tomography
Oxonitridophosphate Ba6P12N17O9Br3 was synthesized by heating a multicomponent mixture of BaBr2, BaS, phosphoryl triamide and thiophosphoryl triamide in an evacuated and sealed silica-glass ampoule to 750 °C. Ba6P12N17O9Br3 was obtained as the main product as a nanocrystalline powder. The crystal structure was determined ab initio on the basis of electron diffraction data acquired from a single needle-shaped nanocrystal by automated diffraction tomography. Ba6P12N17O9Br3 crystallizes in the hexagonal space group P63/m (no. 176) with unit cell parameters a = 14.654(19), c = 8.255(9) A and Z = 2. Its structure includes triangular, column-shaped anions of ∞1{(P12N17O9)9–}, which are built from…
SrP3N5O: a highly condensed layer phosphate structure solved from a nanocrystal by automated electron diffraction tomography.
The oxonitridophosphate SrP(3)N(5)O has been synthesized by heating a multicomponent reactant mixture that consisted of phosphoryl triamide OP(NH(2))(3), thiophosphoryl triamide SP(NH(2))(3), SrS, and NH(4)Cl enclosed in evacuated and sealed silica-glass ampoules up to 750 °C. The compound was obtained as nanocrystalline powder with needle-shaped crystallites. The crystal structure was solved ab initio on the basis of electron diffraction data by means of automated electron diffraction tomography (ADT) and verified by Rietveld refinement with X-ray powder diffraction data. SrP(3)N(5)O crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pnma (no. 62) with unit-cell data of a=18.331(2), b=8.086(1), …
