Oxygen on Fe(100) and Fe(110)

1995

Investigations of the electronic and magnetic properties of oxygen adsorbed on magnetized iron films have been carried out by means of angle and spin resolving photoelectron spectroscopy. Iron, epitaxially grown on W(100) and W(110) crystals, served as the ferromagnetic substrate. Exchange splittings of the O 2px derived level have been detected, demonstrating a magnetic coupling between the chemisorbate and the iron layer. Variations of the exchange splitting have occurred as a function of the oxygen coverage, photon energy, and emission angle. High oxygen exposures have lead to a FeO overlayer at the surface.

Evidences for the Formation of Chromium in the Unusual Oxidation State Cr(IV)

1999

Abstract Magnetic measurements on Tl x Cr 5 Se 8 (0≤ x ≤1) reveal that stoichiometric TlCr 5 Se 8 is a three-dimensional antiferromagnet with a Neel temperature T N of about 55 K. In contrast, samples with a reduced Tl content show highly unusual magnetic properties that are without precedent in the literature of magnetically coupled systems: upon lowering the temperature from 300 K the susceptibility reaches a maximum at about 125 K and then steeply drops to a value comparable to that obtained at room temperature. The height of this maximum increases first with decreasing Tl abundance reaching its largest value at a composition Tl 0.2 Cr 5 Se 8 and then decreases again for samples with x 3…

Alternating Ferro- and Antiferromagnetic Interactions in a Chainlike CuII Coordination Polymer

Synthesis, characterisation, crystal structures, and magnetic properties of one-dimensional oxalato-bridged metal(II) complexes with 3-hydroxypyridin…

2001

One-dimensional oxalato-bridged metal(II) compounds of formula [M(-ox)(L)2]n [L = 3-hydroxypyridine (pyOH) or isoquinoline (isq)] have been synthesised and characterised by FT-IR spectroscopy, TG-DTA techniques, variable-temperature magnetic measurements and X-ray diffraction methods. The complexes [M(-ox)(pyOH)2]n [M= Co (1), Ni (2)] are isomorphous and crystallise in the orthorhombic space group Pnab. The compounds [M(-ox)(isq)2]n [M= Co (3), Ni (4), Cu (5)] are also isomorphous and belong to the monoclinic space group C2/c. Crystal structures consist of zig-zag chains in which cis-[M(L)2] 2 + units are sequentially bridged by bis-bidentate oxalato ligands with intrachain M···M distances …

Convective electrodiffusion processes through graft-modified charged porous membranes

1999

Convective diffusion and electrophoresis across a charged porous membrane showing variable permeability properties were studied. The membrane used was prepared by grafting poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) onto a porous polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane. The degree of grafting was selected to be relatively low, 18 wt%, to compromise between the ion selectivity and hydraulic permeability of the membrane. The possible electric field induced effects on the membrane permselectivity were examined after the membrane had been characterized by convective diffusion and concentration cell potential measurements. The measured electrophoresis data, however, could be modelled using the extended Teorell–Mey…

Magnetic Excitations in Polyoxometalate Clusters Observed by Inelastic Neutron Scattering:  Evidence for Anisotropic Ferromagnetic Exchange Interacti…

1999

The ground-state properties of the tetranuclear Co2+ cluster [Co4(H2O)2(PW9O34)2]10- were investigated by combining specific heat, magnetic susceptibility, and magnetization measurements with a detailed inelastic neutron scattering (INS) study on a fully deuterated sample of K10[Co4(H2O)2(PW9O34)2]·22H2O. As a result of the single ion anisotropy of the octahedral Co2+, the appropriate exchange Hamiltonian of the Co4 spin cluster is anisotropic. INS turns out to be essential for the determination of energy splittings in the ground state resulting from the coupling. Besides the energy pattern, INS provides information about the wave functions of the split ground-state components of the spin c…

1999

The ground-state properties of the tetranuclear Ni2+ cluster [Ni4(H2O)2(PW9O34)2]10- were investigated by combining magnetic susceptibility and magnetization measurements with a detailed inelastic neutron scattering (INS) study on a fully deuterated sample of K6Na4[Ni4(H2O)2(PW9O34)2]·24H2O. The temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility indicates a ferromagnetic coupling of the four constituent Ni2+ ions (s = 1), and a low-temperature magnetization study provides the magnitude of the S = 4 ground-multiplet splitting due to the single-ion anisotropy of the Ni2+ ions. Besides a more direct and precise determination of the anisotropic S = 4 ground-multiplet splitting, INS enabled t…

Layered Molecule-Based Magnets Formed by Decamethylmetallocenium Cations and Two-Dimensional Bimetallic Complexes [MIIRuIII(ox)3]−(MII=;Mn, Fe, Co, C…

Abstract A new series of hybrid organometallic-inorganic layered magnets with formula [Z III Cp * 2 ] [M II Ru III (ox) 3 ] ( Z III =Co and Fe; M II =Mn, Fe, Co, Cu, and Zn; ox=oxalate: Cp * =pentamethylcyclopentadienyl) has been prepared. All of these compounds are isostructural to the previously reported [ Z III Cp * 2 ] [ M II M III (ox) 3 ] ( M III =Cr, Fe) series and crystallize in the monoclinic space group C 2/ m , as found by powder X-ray diffraction analysis. They are novel examples of magnetic materials formed by bimetallic oxalate-based extended layers separated by layers of organometallic cations. The magnetic properties of all these compounds have been investigated (ac and dc m…

Magnetic polyoxometalates: anisotropic exchange interactions in the moiety of [(NaOH2)Co3(H2O)(P2W15O56)2]17-.

2005

The magnetic exchange interactions in a C0(3)(11) moiety encapsulated in Na(17) [(NaOH(2))Co(3)(H(2)O)(P(2)W(15)O(56))(2)] (NaCo(3)) were studied by a combination of magnetic measurements (magnetic susceptibility and low-temperature magnetization), with a detailed Inelastic Neutron Scattering (INS) investigation. The novel structure of the salt was determined by X-ray crystallography. The ferromagnetic Co(3)O(14) triangular cluster core consists of three octahedrally oxo-coordinated Co(II) ions sharing edges. According to the single-ion anisotropy and spin-orbit coupling usually assumed for octahedral Co(II) ions, the appropiate exchange Hamiltonian to describe the ground-state properties o…

Molecule-Based Magnets Formed by Bimetallic Three-Dimensional Oxalate Networks and Chiral Tris(bipyridyl) Complex Cations. The Series [ZII(bpy)3][ClO…

2000

The synthesis, structure, and physical properties of the series of molecular magnets formulated as [ZII(bpy)3][ClO4][MIICrIII(ox)3] (ZII = Ru, Fe, Co, and Ni; MII = Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, and Zn; ox = oxalate dianion) are presented. All the compounds are isostructural to the [Ru(bpy)3][ClO4][MnCr(ox)3] member whose structure (cubic space group P4(1)32 with a = 15.506(2) A, Z = 4) consists of a three-dimensional bimetallic network formed by alternating MII and CrIII ions connected by oxalate anions. The identical chirality (lambda in the solved crystal) of all the metallic centers determines the 3D chiral structure adopted by these compounds. The anionic 3D sublattice leaves some holes where th…
