Electric hyperfine interaction in199Hg fluorides

1985

With the current integration technique, the Mossbauer effect on the 158 keV, 5/2−→1/2− transition in199Hg was studied using the cubic HgF2 and the tetragonal Hg2F2 as absorbers; in the latter, a quadrupole splittingeQVzz=}- 9.0(2) mm/s was observed. Electron densities were calculated with the self-consistent-charge-extended-Hueckel-molecular-orbital method and δ〈r2〉=(3.26±0.11) fm2 derived. From the quadrupole splitting and the calculation, an effective antishielding factor almost twice that of the neutral Hg atom is derived.

Spin transition in iron complexes induced by heat, pressure, light and nuclear decay

1988

The phenomenon of temperature-dependent spin transition will be introduced and the numerous chemical and physical influences affecting the spin transition characteristics will be discussed. We shall mainly concentrate on the spin crossover system [Fe(2-pic)3]X2·Sol (2-pic=2-aminomethylpyridine; X=Cl, Br; Sol=C2H5OH, CH3OH) and demonstrate how the behaviour of the spin transition5T2g(Oh)⇌1A1g(Oh) is influenced by substituting the metalion, the non-coordinating anions X, the crystal solvent molecules Sol and by isotopic exchange with H/D and14N/15N. It will also be shown that the spin transition is very susceptible to pressure. A quantitative spin state conversion from low spin to high spin c…

A semi-Lagrangian AMR scheme for 2D transport problems in conservation form

2013

In this paper, we construct a semi-Lagrangian (SL) Adaptive-Mesh-Refinement (AMR) solver for 1D and 2D transport problems in conservation form. First, we describe the a-la-Harten AMR framework: the adaptation process selects a hierarchical set of grids with different resolutions depending on the features of the integrand function, using as criteria the point value prediction via interpolation from coarser meshes, and the appearance of large gradients. We integrate in time by reconstructing at the feet of the characteristics through the Point-Value Weighted Essentially Non-Oscillatory (PV-WENO) interpolator. We propose, then, an extension to the 2D setting by making the time integration dime…

Mössbauer Spectral Study of Two Layered Honeycomb Molecular Magnets: PPh4FeIIFeIII(ox)3 and NBu4FeIIFeIII(ox)3

2002

The Mossbauer spectra of the layer ferrimagnets PPh4FeIIFeIII(ox)3 and NBu4FeIIFeIII(ox)3 have been measured between 1.9 and 315 K. The paramagnetic spectra exhibit both high-spin iron(II) and iron(III) doublets. The iron(II) quadrupole splittings are negative and decrease substantially upon cooling as a result of a low-symmetry crystal field splitting. In contrast, the iron(III) splittings are small, positive, and virtually independent of temperature. The respective magnetic ordering temperatures of 30 and 42.5 K agree well with the phase observed by bulk magnetometry and the magnetic sextets yield hyperfine fields of ca. 60 kOe for iron(II) and 540 kOe for iron(III). The unusually low iro…

Mössbauer study of properties and phase transitions of Cd2Nb2–2xSn2xO7–2xF2x

1973

With the aid of Mossbauer spectroscopy the solid solution series Cd2Nb2–2xSn2xO7–2xF2x are investigated in the temperature range 4.2 to 400 K. The crystal structure belongs to the cubic pyrochlore type. The BY6 octahedra (B = Nb, Sn; Y = O, F) are linked three-dimensionally through their corners, forming groups of four octahedra which are extended or compressed in the (111)-direction for x ≤ 0.375 or x ≥ 0.400 respectively. The dependence of the quadrupole splitting ΔEQ on x shows a small but significant discontinuity in the region 0.375 < x < 0.400. This can be attributed to a first order phase-transition which depends on concentration, but not on temperature over the temperature region st…

Control on the morphology and photoelectrocatalytic properties of ZnO nanostructures by simple anodization varying electrolyte composition

2021

Abstract Zinc oxide nanostructured electrodes were successfully synthesized by a simple method of anodization in different aqueous bicarbonate electrolytes. The influence of the anodization electrolyte composition (by adding ethanol or glycerol) on the morphology and the photoelectrocatalytic properties of the zinc oxide electrodes was studied, as well as the combined effect of anodizing under controlled hydrodynamic conditions. Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FE-SEM) images of the ZnO electrodes showed that the addition of ethanol or glycerol to the anodization electrolyte resulted in changes in size and morphology of the nanostructures. Thus, ZnO nanowires, nanotubes, nanospo…

Plasmonic versus catalytic effect of gold nanoparticles on mesoporous TiO2 electrodes for water splitting

2014

a b s t r a c t Solar water splitting with metal oxide semiconductors constitutes a promising approach to the conversion of solar energy into chemical energy stored in the atomic bonds of hydrogen molecules. In the present study, we evaluate the effect of the presence of Au nanoparticles on the photoelectrochemical behaviour of mesoporous TiO2 to photo-oxidize water. We observe that the presence of Au nanoparticles leads to enhanced photocurrents for water oxidation and we explore the origin of this enhancement by optical and electrochemical characterization techniques. Our results indicate that although the Au nanoparticles are responsible for a localized surface plasmonic resonance effect…

Comparison of the electrochemical properties of hematite thin films prepared by spray pyrolysis and electrodeposition

2015

Abstract This manuscript reports differences between the photoelectrochemical (PEC) activity of hematite (α-Fe 2 O 3 ) photoanodes produced by cathodic electrodeposition (ED) and spray pyrolysis (SP) methods. Both methods yield nanostructured polycrystalline α-Fe 2 O 3 thin films without additional impurity phases. However, α-Fe 2 O 3 produced by ED is characterised to have better crystallinity and higher porosity, which was confirmed by XRD and SEM analysis. Owing to this, α-Fe 2 O 3 obtained by ED generates a photocurrent that is 2.5 times higher than α-Fe 2 O 3 thin films prepared by SP. Furthermore, the influence of the thickness of the α-Fe 2 O 3 thin films on the flat-band potential p…
