Correlation between in situ structural and optical characterization of the semiconductor-to-metal phase transition of VO2 thin films on sapphire
2020
A detailed structural investigation of the semiconductor-to-metal transition (SMT) in vanadium dioxide thin films deposited on sapphire substrates by pulsed laser deposition was performed by in situ temperature-dependent X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements. The structural results are correlated with those of infrared radiometry measurements in the SWIR (2.5-5 μm) and LWIR (8-10.6 μm) spectral ranges. The main results indicate a good agreement between XRD and optical analysis, therefore demonstrating that the structural transition from monoclinic to tetragonal phases is the dominating mechanism for controlling the global properties of the SMT transition. The picture that emerges is a SMT tr…

Film thickness and microstructure critically affect the spin crossover transition of a 2D coordination polymer.
Structure and physical properties of [mu-tris(1,4-bis(tetrazol-1-yl)butane-N4,N4 ')iron(II)] bis(hexafluorophosphate), a new Fe(II) spin-crossover co…
2004
[mu-Tris(1,4-bis(tetrazol-1-yl)butane-N4,N4')iron(II)] bis(hexafluorophosphate), [Fe(btzb)(3)](PF6)(2), crystallizes in a three-dimensional 3-fold interlocked structure featuring a sharp two-step spin-crossover behavior. The spin conversion takes place between 164 and 182 K showing a discontinuity at about T-1/2 = 174 K and a hysteresis of about 4 K between T-1/2 and the low-spin state. The spin transition has been independently followed by magnetic susceptibility measurements, Fe-57-Mossbauer spectroscopy, and variable temperature far and midrange FIR spectroscopy. The title compound crystallizes in the trigonal space group P (3) over bar (No. 147) with a unit cell content of one formula u…
Pressure Effect Studies on the Spin‐Transition Behavior of a Dinuclear Iron(II) Compound
2013
Magnetic studies into the effect of different hydrostatic pressures between ambient and 1.03 GPa on the high-spin (HS) i low-spin (LS) transition behavior of the dinuclear iron(II) compound [Fe II 2(PMAT)2](BF4)4·DMF (1, PMAT = 4-amino3,5-bis{[(2-pyridylmethyl)amino]methyl}-4H-1,2,4-triazole, DMF = N,N-dimethylformamide) have been carried out at 2– 300 K. Under ambient pressure, the sample studied exhibits a [HS–HS] to [HS–LS] half spin transition (ST) at T½ = 208 K without any thermal hysteresis. Increasing the pressure above 0.2 GPa causes an increase (initially rapid but above 0.5 GPa more gradual) of T½ as well as a matching reduction in the residual high-spin fraction at room temperatu…
The Effect of Pressure on the Cooperative Spin Transition in the 2D Coordination Polymer {Fe(phpy) 2 [Ni(CN) 4 ]}
2013
The effect of pressure on the spin-transition properties of the 2D coordination polymer {Fe(phpy)2[Ni(CN)4]} is reported. The study has been carried out by means of variable-temperature (10–310 K) magnetic susceptibility measurements at applied pressures of 105 Pa to 1.0 GPa and spectroscopic studies in the visible region at room temperature (105 Pa–3.0 GPa). As the pressure is increased, the characteristic temperature of the spin transition is displaced to higher temperatures and the thermal hysteresis loop disappears. A cooperative first-order spin transition characterized by a piezo-hysteresis loop about 0.3 GPa wide was observed at 293 K.
Phase Transitions in Li, K and Ag Modified Na1/2Bi1/2TiO3-SrTiO3-PbTiO3Solid Solutions
2012
Influence of moderate substitution of Na by monovalent metals Li, K and Ag on structure, phase transitions and dielectric properties of 0.4Na1/2Bi1/2TiO3-0.4SrTiO3-0.2PbTiO3 is studied. Substitution by Li increases, while substitution by K and Ag decreases tetragonality of unit cell. Li increases, Ag decreases while K weakly influences phase transition temperature. The characteristic for the parent phase relaxor state with Tt approaching Tm in case of substitution by K and Li transfers into diffused phase transition without Tm dependence on frequency and extended region of thermal hysteresis.
Bistable spin-crossover nanoparticles showing magnetic thermal hysteresis near room temperature
2007
We have demonstrated that the reverse micelle technique can be applied to polymeric spin-crossover systems, such as [Fe(Htrz)2(trz)](BF4), to control the growth of the crystallites. Small nanoparticles of diameters around 10 nm and narrow size distribution were obtained. It is easy to envision that, by modifying the synthetic procedure, the size and critical temperatures of these nanoparticles can be tuned. On one hand, different ratios of solvent, water, and surfactants will lead to different micelle sizes, which will affect the particle size and, maybe, the magnetic properties. On the other hand, the critical temperatures can be lowered towards room temperature by changing the composition…
Room temperature hysteretic spin crossover in a new cyanoheterometallic framework.
2019
A new iron(II)-based spin-crossover compound with thermal hysteresis operating under ambient conditions is reported. This complex exhibits a high reproducibility of the spin transition in many successive thermal cycles, stability of both spin states at room temperature and an attractive operational temperature range.
Phases transitions in complexe oxides with perovskite structure : case system (1-x)Na0,5Bi0,5TiO3 - xCaTiO3
2015
The solid solutions (1-x)Na0,5Bi0,5TiO3 (NBT) – xCaTiO3 (CT) were studied by X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, impedance spectroscopy and DSC. These materials have a perovskite crystalline structure. This study reveals not only the complexity but also the richness of physical phenomena in these compounds: phases transitions sequences, the Ca2+ effect on the physical-chemistry properties and the relation between dielectric properties and crystalline structure. Thereby, (1-x)NBT – xCT solid solutions (0 ≤ x ≤ 1.00) were synthesized by chemical solid route, then they were sintered by a particular procedure in order to avoid sodium and bismuth volatilization. …
Downsizing of robust Fe-triazole@SiO2 spin-crossover nanoparticles with ultrathin shells
2019
A chemical protocol to design robust hybrid [Fe(Htrz)2(trz)](BF4)@SiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) with sizes as small as 28 nm and ultrathin silica shells below 3 nm has been developed. These NPs present a characteristic abrupt spin transition with a subsequent decrease in the width of the thermal hysteresis upon reducing the NP size.
