Simultaneous application of Fourier transform Raman spectroscopy and differential scanning colorimetry for the in situ investigation of phase transit…
1991
Abstract The combination of Fourier transform Raman spectroscopy with differential scanning colorimetry for the in situ investigation of phase transitions is illustrated using ammonium nitrate as an example. This method helps unambiguous characterisation of different phases by providing a simultaneous probe of thermodynamic and vibrational data.
Spectroscopic markers of the T-R quaternary transition in human hemoglobin
2004
n questo lavoro, usiamo un protocollo sol-gel per intrappolare e confrontare gli stati quaternari R e T di entrambi i deossigenati (deossiHb) ederivati di ossido di carbonio (HbCO) dell'emoglobina umana. La banda di assorbimento ottico del vicino infrarosso III e lo stretching di CO a infrarossibanda sono utilizzati per rilevare l'effetto della struttura quaternaria sulle proprietà spettrali di deoxyHb e HbCO; confronto con mioglobinaconsente una valutazione dei contributi terziari e quaternari ai turni di banda misurati. La RXLa transizione T è indicata per causare un bluspostamento della banda III di ~ 35 cm?1per deoxyHb e uno spostamento rosso della banda di allungamento CO di soli ~ 0…
Spin crossover in iron(II) complexes: Recent advances
2009
In this review article, several representative multifunctional SCO materials exhibiting interplay/synergy between the spin transition and magnetic coupling or liquid crystalline properties together with the present pioneering works on nano-structuration of SCO materials are illustrated. As the Mossbauer spectroscopy has been decisive in the study of the physical properties of these multifunctional materials, special attention is given to their corresponding Mossbauer investigations.
An Investigation of the Pressure-Induced Structural Phase Transition of Nanocrystalline alpha-CuMoO4
2022
The structural behavior of nanocrystalline α-CuMoO4 was studied at ambient temperature up to 2 GPa using in situ synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction. We found that nanocrystalline α-CuMoO4 undergoes a structural phase transition into γ-CuMoO4 at 0.5 GPa. The structural sequence is analogous to the behavior of its bulk counterpart, but the transition pressure is doubled. A coexistence of both phases was observed till 1.2 GPa. The phase transition gives rise to a change in the copper coordination from square-pyramidal to octahedral coordination. The transition involves a volume reduction of 13% indicating a first-order nature of the phase transition. This transformation was…
Pressure Effect Investigations on the Spin Crossover Systems{Fe[H 2 B(pz) 2 ] 2 (bipy)} and {Fe[H 2 B(pz) 2 ] 2 (phen)}
2006
Pressure effect studies on the spin crossover behaviour of the mononuclear compounds {Fe[H2B(pz)2]2(bipy)}(1) and {Fe[H2B(pz)2]2(phen)}(2) have been performed in the range of 105 Pa–1.02 GPa at variable temperatures (100–310 K). Continuous spin transitions and displacement of its characteristic temperature has been observed for 1 with increasing pressure. Meanwhile the response of 2 under applied pressures is quite unexpected, and can only be understood in terms of a crystallographic phase transition or change in the bulk modulus of the compound.

Cooperativity in the Iron(II) Spin-Crossover Compound [Fe(ptz)6](PF6)2 under the Influence of External Pressure (ptz = 1-n-Propyltetrazole)
1997
The iron(II) spin-crossover compound [Fe(ptz)(6)](PF(6))(2) (ptz = 1-propyltetrazole) crystallizes in the triclinic space group Ponemacr;, with a = 10.6439(4) Å, b = 10.8685(4) Å, c = 11.7014(4) Å, alpha = 75.644(1) degrees, beta = 71.671(1) degrees, gamma = 60.815(1) degrees, and Z = 1. In [Fe(ptz)(6)](PF(6))(2), the thermal spin transition is extremely steep because of cooperative effects of elastic origin. The transition temperature at ambient pressure is 74(1) K. An external pressure of 1 kbar shifts the transition temperature to 102(1) K, corresponding to a stabilization of the low-spin state, which is smaller in volume. The volume difference between the high-spin and the low-spin stat…

Magnetic properties of MoS 2 nanotubes doped with lithium
2003
DC magnetization measurements of lithium-doped molybdenum sulfide nanotubes (LixMoS2, 2.2 10 kOe, the nonlinear part in H<5 kOe with saturation at approximately 10 kOe can be observed. This suggests a formation of ferromagnetic clusters even at room temperature. No magnetic phase transition between 2 and 300 K has been detected.
Compressibility and Structural Stability of Nanocrystalline TiO2 Anatase Synthesized from Freeze-Dried Precursors
2014
The high-pressure structural behavior of 30 nm nanoparticles of anatase TiO2 was studied under hydrostatic and quasi-hydrostatic conditions up to 25 GPa. We found that the structural sequence is not sensitive to the use of different pressure transmitting media. Anatase-type nanoparticles exhibit a phase transition beyond 12 GPa toward a baddeleyite-type structure. Under decompression this phase transition is irreversible, and a metastable columbite-type structure is recovered at ambient conditions. The bulk modulus of anatase-type nanoparticles was determined confirming that nanoparticles of TiO2 are more compressible than bulk TiO2. Similar conclusions were obtained after the determination…
(NBu4)Ni(mnt)2: A novel bistable high temperature spin-Peierls-like system
2005
Abstract The title compound, tetrabutylammonium bis(1,2-dimercaptoethene-1,2-dicarbonirtilato-S,S′)-nickel (III) [henceforth (NBu4)Ni(mnt)2] undergoes a hysteretic phase transition that occurs at 172 K upon cooling. Crystallographic studies show that the phase transition is an order–disorder type involving one arm of the NBu 4 + cation. Both phases are monoclinic, space group C2/c with a = 30.860(3), b = 13.804(2), c = 15.678(2) A and β = 115.642(3)° with V = 6020.8(11) A3 at room temperature and with a = 31.073(3), b = 13.928(1), c = 14.414(1) A and β = 115.073(2)° and V = 5652.1(9) A3 at 84 K. In both phases, the anions form non-uniform stacks parallel to the crystallographic c direction.…
