AB  - This study addresses the oxidation behavior of Fe38Co38Mo8B15Cu1 alloy. Amorphous, melt-spun ribbons were heat treated in an oxygen atmosphere for different times at 350 °C, 550 °C, and 800 °C. We focus on the change in structural, thermal, and magnetic properties induced by oxygen treatment. The low-temperature heat-treated samples displayed broad, continuous, and low-intensity X-ray diffraction peaks. While no structural change was observed in the heat treatments at 350 °C both 30 min and 480 min, a significant oxide formation was observed in the heat treatment at 800 °C for 480 min. DTA/TG analysis demonstrates the weight gains and oxide formation with the temperature and time of heat treatment increase. The weight gain occurs rapidly for the sample treated for 480 min at 800 °C. A remarkable change in magnetic properties was observed. Bulk oxidation is seen by Mössbauer analysis in the heat treatment of alloy in air at 800 °C. Besides hematite, a defective CoFe2O4 phase emerged after 30 min, while after 480 min this phase was well-crystallized CoFe2O4.

AB  - In order to provide insight into the influence of co-doping with boron (B) and transition metals (TM = Pt, Ta, V) on the photoactivity of anatase TiO2 , the electronic, structural and optical characteristics of the mentioned co-doped systems were studied using density functional theory calculations and the modified Becke–Johnson exchange potential. For each transition metal two cases were considered, with B atom either replacing O atom (B-substitutional) or imbedding interstitially (B-interstitial) into TiO2 lattice. The calculations showed that the co-doping is more favorable for the B-interstitial systems than for the B-substitutional ones and under the O-rich conditions. For the B-substitutional cases a slight decrease of the band gap is observed. In contrast, the results obtained for the B-interstitial systems exhibited no band gap narrowing. However, in these systems, the occurrence of localized states within the band gap is noticed, which could improve visible light absorption through a two-step optical transition.

AB  - Laves phases (AB2) are alloys whose metal hydrides have been proposed to improve the energy density of Ni-MH batteries. In case of ZrV2-based battery materials, various amounts of different modifiers, such as Ti and Ni are used to improve their performance. The influence of Ni modifier in ZrV2 C15 Laves phase was investigated at atomic level by the 181TaPerturbed Angular Correlation (PAC) measurements of Zr(V0.33Ni0.67)2, Zr(V0.33Ni0.67)2.4 and Zr27V18Ni55 compounds. The dominant C15-type crystallographic structures were found in all samples by the X-ray diffraction, with the minority presence of other phases, mostly various oxides. The 181Ta-PAC preliminary results showed four different electric quadrupole interactions which give similar values for electric field gradients and non-zero asymmetry parameters in all investigated compounds.

TM = Pt, Ta, V) anatase TiO 2 were investigated using modified density functional
theory (DFT) calculations, in order to provide insight into the synergistic effect of
co-doping with various elements on the photoactivity of TiO 2. We considered two
combinations for each co-doped sample, with TM atom replacing Ti atom and B
atom either replacing O atom or embedding interstitially into TiO 2 lattice. The
calculations showed that for all studied transition metals, the co-doping is more
favorable in the case of interstitially doped boron than for the substitutional one
and under the O-rich conditions. For the co-doped systems with B atom substitutionally replacing O atom, a small reduction of the band gap is observed in all the
investigated cases. In contrast, the results obtained for the co-doped systems with
boron embedded interstitially into TiO 2 lattice, exhibited no band gap narrowing.

The ratio of Tc to the Fermi temperature TF is very small, indicating weak electronic correlations. With a slight selenium substitution on sulfur site in FeS both Tc/TF and the effective mass m∗ rise considerably, implying increase in electronic correlation of the bulk conducting states. The first-principle calculations show rise of the density of states at the Fermi level in FeS0.94Se0.06 when compared to FeS, which is related not only to Fe but also to chalcogen-derived electronic states.

AB  - Charge density waves (CDWs) with superconductivity, competing Fermi surface instabilities, and collective orders have captured much interest in two-dimensional van der Waals (vdW) materials. Understanding the CDW suppression mechanism, its connection to the emerging superconducting state, and electronic correlations provides opportunities for engineering the electronic properties of vdW heterostructures and thin-film devices. Using a combination of the thermal transport, x-ray photoemission spectroscopy, Raman measurements, and first-principles calculations, we observe an increase in electronic correlations of the conducting states as the CDW is suppressed in ZrTe3 with 5% Cu and Ni intercalation in the vdW gap. As superconductivity emerges, intercalation brings not only decoupling of quasi-one-dimensional conduction electrons with phonons as a consequence of intercalation-induced lattice expansion but also a drastic increase in Zr2+ at the expense of Zr4+ metal atoms. These observations not only demonstrate the potential of atomic intercalates in the vdW gap for ground-state tuning but also illustrate the crucial role of the Zr metal valence in the formation of collective electronic orders.

AB  - Connections between crystal chemistry and critical temperature Tc have been in the focus of superconductivity, one of the most widely studied phenomena in physics, chemistry, and materials science alike. In most Fe-based superconductors, materials chemistry and physics conspire so that Tc correlates with the average anion height above the Fe plane, i.e., with the geometry of the FeAs4 or FeCh4 (Ch = Te, Se, or S) tetrahedron. By synthesizing Fe1–ySe1–xSx (0 ≤ x ≤ 1; y ≤ 0.1), we find that in alloyed crystals Tc is not correlated with the anion height like it is for most other Fe superconductors. Instead, changes in Tc(x) and tetragonal-to-orthorhombic (nematic) transition Ts(x) upon cooling are correlated with disorder in Fe vibrations in the direction orthogonal to Fe planes, along the crystallographic c-axis. The disorder stems from the random nature of S substitution, causing deformed Fe(Se,S)4 tetrahedra with different Fe–Se and Fe–S bond distances. Our results provide evidence of Tc and Ts suppression by disorder in anion height. The connection to local crystal chemistry may be exploited in computational prediction of new superconducting materials with FeSe/S building blocks.

Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) showed that microsized powder is obtained. X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) pattern is used for both phase identification and crystal structure Rietveld refinement. The structure is refined in the orthorhombic Pbnm space group. Mössbauer spectroscopy revealed traces of Fe3+ impurity. The bond valence mapping method is applied for the first time on Fe2SiO4 framework. It shows isolated, non-connected isosurfaces of constant E(Li), which further supports the assumptions of the conversion reactions. Electrochemical performances are investigated through galvanostatic cycling, cyclic voltammetry, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Ex-situ XRD and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analyses are combined to monitor phase change after galvanostatic cycling and to reveal the working mechanism during electrochemical lithiation.

Mössbauer Spectroscopy of Iron-based Chalcogenides

AB  - Soon after the discovery of superconductivity in LaFeAsO with TC = 26 K in 2008, many other iron-based superconductors were synthetized. They are all based on the layers which contain iron and a pnictogen (As, P) or a chalcogen (S, Se, Te) element. Due to the connection between superconductivity and magnetism these novel unconventional high-TC superconductors have attracted tremendous interest in the scientific community. A particularly well studied is tetragonal FeSe in the PbO type structure (11 family). The improvement of TC was achieved by the intercalation of an additional layer such as perovskite-like blocks or alkaline metals into the Fe-based chalcogenide layered systems. This led to creation of new superconducting compounds, AyFe2 – xSe2 (A is an alkaline element) named 122 family whose physical and structural properties are found to be very sensitive on details of the chemical composition. Unlike layered cuprate superconductors, a cationic disorder arisen from a substitution in an Fe-layer improves TC. The highest TC in the Fe-based chalcogenide superconductors is accomplished by suppression of both long range crystallographic and magnetic order. Mössbauer spectroscopy is a very useful tool for studies of structural phase transitions, structure defects, and chemical and structural inhomogeneities. This lecture is devoted to the local structure studies of FeSexS1 – x, K0.7Na0.1Fe2Se2, KFe1 - xCoxSe2, and similar Fe-based chalcogenide compounds using the Mössbauer spectroscopy.

AB  - Transition metal dichalcogenides attract considerable attention due to a variety of interesting properties, including long-range magnetism in nanocrystals. Here we investigate the magnetic, thermal, and electrical properties of an FeTe2 single crystal with iron vacancy defects. Magnetic measurements show a paramagnetic state and the absence of magnetic order with low anisotropy in the magnetic susceptibility. Fe 3d orbitals are well hybridized, contributing to the bad metal electrical resistivity. Observed thermal conductivity values below room temperature are rather low and comparable to those of high-performance thermoelectric materials. Our results indicate that FeTe2 can form in a highly defective marcasite crystal structure which can be exploited in future materials design.

For all the investigated transition metal dopants, the optical properties in the visible light range are improved over the undoped Bi2WO6. Irrespective of concentration, the lattice relaxation around the dopants is constrained to the first coordination shell. Mo, Fe, and Cr introduce localized defect states in the band gap, contributing to band gap narrowing. The localized states are hybridized between the impurity d–bands and host W 5d–and O 2p–states. Zn facilitates the reduction of the band gap by inducing a shift of the states near the top of the valence band toward higher energies. Our results suggest that Zn doping on the W lattice site may improve the photocatalytic properties of Bi2WO6 more than the other dopants.

AB  - The study of an effect of iron doping on the structural, microstructural and mechanical properties of sintered iron-doped mullite is presented. The results of phase composition, performed in detail by Mössbauer spectroscopy and XRD analysis, revealed that all added iron was inside the mullite lattice forming the single phase up to 12% by weight of Fe2O3 and 1300 °C. Samples, which were processed at 1550 °C, contained secondary phases, hematite or magnetite, regardless of the amount of added iron. Furthermore, the addition of iron decreases the values of relative linear shrinkage comparing to the values of undoped one (~18%) while the densities of the sintered samples rise as well as their values of microhardness. Even though the density values were not too high (90 TD%), the obtained values of microhardness were excellent, 1634 HV0.1 for maximum iron content due to the characteristic mullite microstructure.

abstract = "The study of an effect of iron doping on the structural, microstructural and mechanical properties of sintered iron-doped mullite is presented. The results of phase composition, performed in detail by Mössbauer spectroscopy and XRD analysis, revealed that all added iron was inside the mullite lattice forming the single phase up to 12% by weight of Fe2O3 and 1300 °C. Samples, which were processed at 1550 °C, contained secondary phases, hematite or magnetite, regardless of the amount of added iron. Furthermore, the addition of iron decreases the values of relative linear shrinkage comparing to the values of undoped one (~18%) while the densities of the sintered samples rise as well as their values of microhardness. Even though the density values were not too high (90 TD%), the obtained values of microhardness were excellent, 1634 HV0.1 for maximum iron content due to the characteristic mullite microstructure.",

AB  - Lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4, LFP) is one of the widely used cathode materials for rechargeable lithium ion batteries. LFP batteries are widely used for electric vehicles and backup power due to their important advantages such as low cost, lifetime, efficiency, and reliability. There are still several technical challenges that need to be addressed: The increase of energy density or further reduction of their final cost. This paper concerned with the characterization of carbon coated LiFePO4 nanopowder cathode materials produced under different conditions by pulse combustion for providing energy to the reactor for the synthesis. The reactor was built according to the principles of the thermoacoustic burner on the basis of the Helmholtz resonator. The investigated nanopowders are synthesized by complete and incomplete combustion and calcined at 700 °C. The obtained samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared, Raman, and Mössbauer spectroscopy. Observed low-Temperature magnetic phase transitions definitively identified the crystal phases. The morphology of samples was controlled by scanning electron microscopy. The aim of this work is to show that it is possible to achieve a desired crystal phase by pulse combustion in a relatively cheap and fast way. The extremely rapid synthesis of almost pure phase material is possible due to the reduction in size of interacting particles and to an enormous number of collisions between them as a result of strong turbulent flow associated with explosive combustion. © 2019 Author(s).

AB  - In order to study the effect of Fe cation substitution on the local structure, defect formation, and hyperfine interactions in ZnO, Mössbauer spectroscopy measurements of the microwave processed Zn 1 - x Fe x O (x = 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, and 0.20) nanoparticles, together with ab initio calculations, were performed. Complementary information on the distribution of particle size and morphology, as well as magnetic properties, were obtained by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and squid-magnetometry. The selected model for analyzing the Mössbauer spectra of our samples is a distribution of quadrupole splittings. The fitting model with two Lorentz doublets was rejected due to its failure to include larger doublets. The Fe 3 + ions do not yield magnetic ordering in the samples at room temperature. The results from first-principles calculations confirm that the major component of the Mössbauer spectra corresponds to the Fe-alloyed ZnO with Zn vacancy in the next nearest neighbor environment. The magnetic measurements are consistent with the description of the distribution of iron ions over the randomly formed clusters in the ZnO host lattice. While at room temperature all the samples are paramagnetic, magnetic interactions cause a transition into a cluster spin-glass state at low temperatures. © 2019 Author(s).

The properties of carbon-containing and carbon-free powders are studied by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) including Rietveld refinement, Mössbauer spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), galvanostatic cycling, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The structure of both powders is refined in a monoclinic framework (space group P2 1 /c). The structural refinement and Mössbauer spectroscopy reveal different degrees of partial occupancy of mixed-occupied sites by lithium.

AB  - Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed to address the effects of 5d transition metals (TM) doping on the electronic structure properties of rutile TiO2, using both the modified Becke-Johnson (mBJ) and on-site hybrid functional. The calculations show that there is a reduction of band gap in almost all the investigated cases, except when TiO2is doped with Ta. Some of the investigated systems (Re, W, Os, Ir) exhibit pronounced spin polarization, mainly arising from the TM atoms. In addition, a large increase of band gap is observed, when switching from a 24-atoms to 48-atoms supercell, while further enlarging the supercell size doesn't affect the band gap significantly. Among the investigated transition metals, Pt and Ir are the best candidates for improving the photocatalytic properties of rutile TiO2through substitutional doping.

AB  - The modification of the fly ash (FA) by magnetite (M) was performed to obtain FAM adsorbent with improved adsorption efficiency for arsenate removal from water. The novel low cost adsorbents are characterized by liquid nitrogen porosimetry (BET), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Mössbauer spectroscopy (MB) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The optimal conditions and key factors influencing the adsorbent synthesis are assessed using the response surface method (RSM). The adsorption experiment was carried out in a batch system by varying the contact time, temperature, pH, and mass of the adsorbent. The adsorption capacity of the FAM adsorbent for As(V), calculated by Langmuir model, was 19.14 mg g−1. The thermodynamic parameters showed spontaneity of adsorption with low endothermic character. The kinetic data followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model (PSO), and Weber-Morris model indicated intra-particle diffusion as rate limiting step. Alternative to low desorption capability of the FAM was found by five consecutive adsorption/magnetite precipitation processes which gave exhausted layered adsorbent with 65.78 mg g−1 capacity. This research also has shed light on the mechanism of As(V)-ion adsorption, presenting a promising solution for the valorization of a widely abundant industrial waste. © 2018 Elsevier Ltd

AB  - In this paper, it is reported the structural and magnetic properties of Nd13.7Pr0.7Dy0.2Fe73.1Co6.3Ga0.4B5.6 and Nd7.7Pr0.7Dy0.2Fe79.1Co6.3Ga0.4B5.6 magnetic nanocomposites, synthesized by melt-spinning and annealing methods. The Nd-Fe-B ribbons are melt-spun at v=30 m/s in high vacuum and annealed at 715oC for 4 min. in argon. Furthermore, X-ray diffraction and transmission 57Fe Mössbauer spectra at RT are used to investigate the effects of substituent elements: Dy, Pr, Co, Ga on the hard magnetic properties and microstructure of both nanocomposites. Analysis of Mössbauer spectra for Nd13.7Pr0.7Dy0.2Fe73.1Co6.3Ga0.4B5.6 is done in terms of ten Zeeman sextets, one paramagnetic doublet related to Nd1.1Fe4B4 phase and two hyperfine magnetic fields distributions extracted from spectrum. Similar result of analysis of the second nanocomposite is obtained with eleven sextets, one doublet and one distribution. One sextet corresponds to α-Fe phase, while we have identified six iron sextets corresponding to the six distinct iron sites in the Nd2Fe14B structure: 16k1, 16k2, 8j1, 8j2, 4c and 4e. The three remaining sextets belong to Fe3B structure with three inequivalent Fe sites: FeI(8g), FeII(8g) and FeIII(8g). The eleventh sextet of Nd7.7Pr0.7Dy0.2Fe79.1Co6.3Ga0.4B5.6 belongs to FeB. All relevant parameters for both nanocomposites: magnetic hyperfine field, isomer shift and quadrupole splitting are determined for each of these sites. To highlight the thermally induced structural transformations, the quenched samples have been analysed by differential scanning calorimetry and thermo-magnetic measurements. The magnetic properties, measured at RT on the quenched and annealed ribbons, revealed the relationship between the alloy chemical composition and processing.

AB  - In this paper we investigated the effects of Fe-doping of the anatase TiO2 (1 0 1) surface on the crystal structure, electronic and optical properties, and impurity formation energy by means of density functional theory (DFT). The calculations were performed by the SIESTA DFT code and were carried out by using Troullier-Martins pseudopotentials for the 12-electron valence configuration (3s(2)3p(6)3d(2)4s(2)) of Ti atom, 6-electron valence configuration (2s(2)p(4)) of O atom and 8-electron valence configuration (3d(6)4s(2)) of Fe atom. We used a double- zeta basis set including polarization functions. All calculations were spin-polarized. The mechanism of narrowing the band gap and increasing the photocatalytic activity in the visible light region, of the doped TiO2 is discussed by investigating the density of state. The band gap decreases as the concentration of the dopant increases. The Partial Density of States (PDOS) is not the same in the case of spin-up state or spin-down state. Enhanced optical absorption, for light polarized in the z direction (parallel to the surface normal) is clearly observed for Fe doped as compared to the pure anatase TiO2 and the optical absorption is found to increase with the increase in the Fe concentration. The DFT results indicate that the source of the increasing photocatalytic activity in the visible light region of the Fe doped material is due to the introduction of additional electronic states within the band gap. Since the Fe atoms are more stable in Ti substitutional lattice positions for the entire range of Fermi energy E-F over the band gap, only this substitutional position is considered. We hope that our results will highlight a route to improved electronic and optical properties of anatase TiO2 for industrial applications. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB  - The critical properties of the single-crystalline van der Waals bonded ferromagnet Fe3-xGeTe2 were investigated by bulk dc magnetization around the paramagnetic to ferromagnetic (FM) phase transition. The Fe3-xGeTe2 single crystals grown by self-flux method with Fe deficiency x approximate to 0.36 exhibit bulk FM ordering below T-c = 152 K. The Mossbauer spectroscopy was used to provide information on defects and local atomic environment in such crystals. Critical exponents beta = 0.372(4) with a critical temperature T-c = 151.25(5) K and gamma = 1.265(15) with T-c = 151.17(12) K are obtained by the Kouvel-Fisher method, whereas d = 4.50(1) is obtained by a critical isotherm analysis at T-c = 151 K. These critical exponents obey theWidom scaling relation delta = 1 + gamma/beta, indicating self-consistency of the obtained values. With these critical exponents the isothermM(H) curves below and above the critical temperatures collapse into two independent universal branches, obeying the single scaling equation m = f +/- (h), where m and h are renormalized magnetization and field, respectively. The exponents determined in this study are close to those calculated from the results of the renormalization group approach for a heuristic model of three-dimensional Heisenberg (d = 3, n = 3) spins coupled with the attractive long-range interactions between spins that decay as J (r) approximate to r(-(3+ sigma)) with sigma = 1.89.

AB  - Substitutionally and interstitially Cu/Nco-doped anatase TiO2(101) surface is investigated by using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The results suggest improved visible light photocatalytic activity over undoped anatase TiO2. Sizable lattice relaxation around the dopants is observed, followed by a formation of N-O bond. Depending on the local arrangement of atoms, localized states above the valence band maximum, deep into the band gap, and below the conduction band minimum are found. In addition, our calculation also predict band gap narrowing. The hybridization of the Cu 3d and N 2p states within the band gap and the other electronic and optical properties suggest a synergistic effect of the dopants in the enhancement of the visible light absorption on the (101) anatase surface.

AB  - Magnetic ground states, local crystallographic environment of Fe, and hyperfine interaction parameters in tetragonal FeX (X = S, Se, Te) are investigated by means of density functional theory (DFT) calculations using augmented plane waves plus local orbitals (APW + lo) method. We use several different magnetic configurations to evaluate the magnetic and electronic properties of this system, as well as the hyperfine interaction parameters at Fe lattice site. The results obtained for the ground state collinear anti-ferromagnetic arrangement relatively well reproduce the quadrupole splitting and isomer shifts from the available Mossbauer measurements. The Baders atoms in molecule charge density analysis indicates bonding of closed-shell type and a sizable charge transfer from Fe to X. The system properties are sensitive to the structural optimization of the position of the chalcogen atom with respect to the iron plane. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
