The main goal of this research has been to investigate for the first time the effects of fluorination on the crystal structure, magnetic, and electrochemical properties of the P2-type NaxCoO2 powder. Sodium cobalt oxide ...

Homogenized Cu-4Ti (wt%) and Cu-4Ti-1.4B (wt%) powders were cold pressed and then sintered by pulsed, millisecond Nd:YAG laser system. Phases present in laser sintered samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), ...

Zirconia (ZrO2) coatings, doped with Gd3+ and Dy3+ in various concentrations, were created by the plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) process of zirconium by the addition of Gd2O3 and Dy2O3 particles to the supporting ...

Paper presents detailed studies of local and electronic structure around Fe in Cd0.97Fe0.03Te, Cd0.98Fe0.02Te0.97Se0.03 and Cd0.99Fe0.01Te0.91S0.09 multinary chalcogenides by means of X–ray absorption fine structure (XAFS), ...

This paper systematically examines the influence of the level of Fe(III) doping on the crystal structure and other properties of Ni(OH)(2). Reference beta-Ni(OH)(2) and Fe-doped Ni(OH)(2) samples were synthesized by ...

Magnetic nanoparticles represent complex but very interesting objects. They combine the bulk properties with novel phenomena emerging at the nanoscale due to finite-size effects. The recent development of the synthetic ...

A new method involving the homogeneous dispersion of precursor compounds inside a methylcellulose matrix is used for the synthesis of a composite powder of Li 2 FeP 2 O 7 and carbon. The properties of carbon-containing and ...

In a new approach based on a two-step procedure, co-precipitation method followed by hydrothermal treatment in a microwave field, Zn-substituted Fe3O4 nanoparticles (ZnxFe3-xO4) were synthesized. Results of XRD, FT–IR and ...

In the present paper, the results of combined theoretical and experimental investigation of small non-stoichiometric bromine-doped potassium clusters are reported. Potassium-bromide clusters were obtained by the Knudsen ...

Memory effect due to spin-glass state below about 20 K has been illustrated in the hollandite-type α-KxMnO2 monocrystalline nanorods by systematic magnetization measurements including temperature- and time-dependent ...
