Structural disorder and electronic hybridization in NicMg1−cO solid solutions probed by XANES at the oxygen K edge
2007
A series of NicMg1−cO solid solutions has been studied for the first time looking at the structural disorder by means of x-ray absorption near-edge-structure (XANES) spectroscopy at the oxygen K edge. The experimental XANES signals were analysed within the full multiple scattering formalism and were interpreted taking into account clusters of up to 15 coordination shells around an absorbing oxygen atom. The substitution of nickel atoms by magnesium atoms results in a dramatic decrease of the empty density of states in the conduction band close to the Fermi level due to an exchange of the 3d(Ni)–2p(O) interaction with 3p(Mg)–2p(O). Besides, a simultaneous small decrease of the 3d(Ni)–2p(O) h…
Dopant-Host oxide interactions and proton mobility in Gd:BaCeO3
2009
The local structure of Gd:BaCeO3 at different dopant concentrations (2-20%) was studied by X-ray absorption spectroscopy. The EXAFS analysis shows that the environment of the regular Ba2+ and Ce4+ cations is to a limited extent affected by doping. The local structure of gadolinium shows an expansion of the first coordination shell of oxygens, consistent with the ionic radius of Gd3+, but a contraction of the next neighboring shells of cations. In particular, the Ba2+ second neighbors get closer to the dopant, which can be originated by the effective negative charge sharply localized on the dopant. Comparison between EXAFS data of dry and hydrated compounds confirms this interpretation, show…
Classical ionic fluids in the mean spherical approximation
1980
The recently obtained analytical solution of the mean spherical approximation has been used to calculate thermodynamic and structural properties of aqueous solutions of asymmetric electrolytes. The same approximation has also been used to calculate structure functions of pure and mixed molten salts. The agreement between experimental or “quasi-experimental” structure functions and those obtained within the framework of the MSA is quite good especially when the ionic radii are obtained by fitting the long wavelength limit of the structure functions to the isothermal compressibility of the system, under the condition that the diameter ratio is the same as in the crystal.
Mössbauer effect study of the electronic ground state of iron(II) in [57FexM1−x(bipy)3](ClO4)2 (M = Mn, Ni, Zn) and [57FexM1−x(phen)3](ClO4)2 (M = Ni…
1980
Earlier work in our laboratory on the effect of metal dilution on the 5T2(Oh ⇌ 1A1(Oh) equilibrium in polycrystalline spin crossover systems of iron(II) has shown that the relative stability of the high spin state, 5T2(Oh), at a given temperature, increases markedly with decreasing iron concentration. These results have initiated the present work. Using 57Fe Mossbauer spectroscopy, we have investigated the electronic ground state of iron(II) in the highly diluted solid solutions [FexM1−xL3] with L = bipy, M = Mn, Ni, Zn, x ≲ 0.005 and L = phen, M = Ni, Zn, x ≲ 0.005. Although the critical field potential (Vc) of the pure iron complexes, which are known to be low spin, is reported to be not …
Nuclear moments and the change in the mean square charge radius of neutron deficient thallium isotopes
1992
The hyperfine structure, isotope and isomeric shifts in the atomic transition 6p 2 P 3/2−7s 2 S 1/2, λ=535 nm have been measured for theI=7 andI=2 states of190, 192, 194, 196Tl; theI=1/2 andI=9/2 states of191Tl and the I=7 isomer of188Tl. The thallium isotopes were prepared as fast atomic beams at the GSI on-line mass separator following fusion reactions and — in some cases — subsequentβ-decay. The nuclear dipole moments, electric quadrupole moments and the change in the nuclear mean square charge radius are evaluated. Theuu-isotopes show an isomeric shift which changes sign between192Tl and194Tl.

We report on a collinear laser spectroscopy measurement of the nuclear charge radius of (I = 3/2), yielding . Within the experimental accuracy, the N = 20 neutron shell closure has no influence on the charge radii of the calcium isotopes.
Fabry–Pérot lineshape analysis in an optically thick expanding plasma
2007
In this work the authors present Fabry–Perot measurements of Ar atom spectral line profiles originating from the expansion of an Ar–N2 thermal plasma into a low pressure environment. The plasma is characterized by strong density, temperature and velocity gradients and it offers a high degree of light absorption for some gas mixtures. First, it is demonstrated that the Abel inversion method cannot be applied under such conditions even if absorption is absent. Second, two approaches are examined to obtain plasma parameters in the case of an optically thick expanding plasma. It is shown that velocity and temperature development along the jet radius can be inferred from experimental lineshapes …
Mobility of the Singly-Charged Lanthanide and Actinide Cations: Trends and Perspectives
2020
The current status of gaseous transport studies of the singly-charged lanthanide and actinide ions is reviewed in light of potential applications to superheavy ions. The measurements and calculations for the mobility of lanthanide ions in He and Ar agree well, and they are remarkably sensitive to the electronic configuration of the ion, namely, whether the outer electronic shells are 6s, 5d6s or 6s$^2$. The previous theoretical work is extended here to ions of the actinide family with zero electron orbital momentum: Ac$^+$ (7s$^2$, $^1$S), Am$^+$ (5f$^7$7s $^9$S$^\circ$), Cm$^+$ (5f$^7$7s$^2$ $^8$S$^\circ$), No$^+$ (5f$^{14}$7s $^2$S) and Lr$^+$ (5f$^{14}$7s$^2$ $^1$S). The calculations rev…
Limiting transport properties of lanthanide and actinide ions in pure water
2003
Summary The limiting transport properties, i.e. the limiting ionic conductivity (λ°) and the limiting diffusion coefficient (D°), of lanthanide and actinide ions at 298.15K have been calculated by means of the microscopic version of the Stokes–Einstein law involving (i) the effective charge and the ionic radius of the ions and (ii) the ion micro-viscosity, i.e. the viscosity of the hydrated water molecules in the vicinity of the ion. The latter quantity was derived from the variation of the dynamic properties of the water molecules in the first hydration shell with the surface charge density of common mono-atomic cations of various charges. The obtained results were found to be consistent w…
Selective Lanthanides Sequestration Based on a Self-Assembled Organosilica
2010
International audience; In this paper, we investigate the cation-exchange properties of a self-assembled hybrid material towards trivalent ions, lanthanides (La3+,Eu3+, Gd3+,Yb3+) and Fe3+. The bis-zwitter- ionic lamellar material was prepared by sol-gel process from only 3-amino- propyltriethoxysilane (APTES), succin- ic anhydride, and ethylenediamine. In ethanol heated under reflux, the ex- change ethylenediammonium versus Ln3+ proved to be complete by com- plexometry measurements and elemen- tal analyses, one Cl ion per one LnIII remaining as expected for charge bal- ance. In aqueous solution at 20 8C, the material was found to be selective to- wards lanthanide in spite of the similar- i…
