Objective: The influence of Manganese (Mn2+) and Cobalt (Co2+) ions doping on the optical and magnetic properties of ZnO nanoparticles was studied. Methods: Nanoparticle samples of type ZnO, Zn0.97Mn0.03O, Zn0.96Mn0.03Co0.01O, Zn0.95Mn0.03 Co0.02O, Zn0.93Mn0.03Co0.04O, and Zn0.91Mn0.03Co0.06O were synthesized using the wet chemical coprecipitation method. Results: X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) patterns revealed that the prepared samples exhibited a single phase of hexagonal wurtzite structure without any existence of secondary phases. Transmission electron microscope (TEM) images clarified that Co doping at high concentrations has the ability to alter the morphologies of the samples from spherical shaped nanoparticles (NPS) to nanorods (NRs) shaped particles. The different vibrational modes of the prepared samples were analyzed through Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) measurements. The optical characteristics and structural defects of the samples were studied through Photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. PL results clarified that Mn2+ and Co2+ doping quenched the recombination of electron-hole pairs and enhanced the number of point defects relative to the undoped ZnO sample. Magnetic measurements were carried out at room temperature using a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). (Mn, Co) co-doped ZnO samples exhibited a ferromagnetic behavior coupled with paramagnetic and weak diamagnetic contributions. Conclusion: Mn2+ and Co2+ doping enhanced the room temperature Ferromagnetic (RTFM) behavior of ZnO. In addition, the signature for antiferromagnetic ordering between the Co ions was revealed. Moreover, a strong correlation between the magnetic and optical behavior of the (Mn, Co) co-doped ZnO was analyzed.

AbstractTransition metal nitrides are an important class of materials with applications as abrasives, semiconductors, superconductors, Li-ion conductors, and thermoelectrics. However, high oxidation states are difficult to attain as the oxidative potential of dinitrogen is limited by its high thermodynamic stability and chemical inertness. Here we present a versatile synthesis route using azide-mediated oxidation under pressure that is used to prepare the highly oxidised ternary nitride Ca4FeN4 containing Fe4+ ions. This nitridometallate features trigonal-planar [FeN3]5− anions with low-spin Fe4+ and antiferromagnetic ordering below a Neel temperature of 25 K, which are characterised by neutron diffraction, 57Fe-Mössbauer and magnetisation measurements. Azide-mediated high-pressure synthesis opens a way to the discovery of highly oxidised nitrides.

Crystal-to-crystal transformation is a path to obtain crystals with different crystal structures and physical properties. K2[Co(C2O4)2(H2O)2]·4H2O (1) is obtained from K2C2O4·2H2O, CoCl2·6H2O in H2O with a yield of 60%. It is crystallized in the triclinic with space group P1 and cell parameters: a = 7.684(1) Å, b = 9.011(1) Å, c = 10.874(1) Å, α = 72.151(2)°, β = 70.278(2)°, γ = 80.430(2)°, V = 670.0(1) Å3, Z = 2 at 100 K. 1 is composed of K+, mononuclear anion [Co(C2O4)2(H2O)22−] and H2O. Co2+ is coordinated by two bidentated oxalate anion and two H2O in an octahedron environment. There is a hydrogen bond between mononuclear anion [Co(C2O4)2(H2O)22−] and H2O. K2[Co(μ-C2O4)(C2O4)] (2) is obtained from 1 by dehydration. The cell parameters of 2 are a = 8.460(5) Å, b = 6.906 (4) Å, c = 14.657(8) Å, β = 93.11(1)°, V = 855.0(8) Å3 at 100 K, with space group in P2/c. It is composed of K+ and zigzag [Co(μ-C2O4)(C2O42−]n chain. Co2+ is coordinated by two bisbendentate oxalate and one bidentated oxalate anion in trigonal-prism. 1 is an antiferromagnetic molecular crystal. The antiferromagnetic ordering at 8.2 K is observed in 2.

The highly-correlated electron system Sr1-xSmxMnO3 (SSMO) with the simple-perovskite structure has been found to exhibit fascinating electronic states accompanying antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic orderings. It was, in particular, reported that the electronic state for 0.46 ≤ x ≤ 0.54 was characterized by the coexistence state consisting of the A-type antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic states. However, the features of the coexistence state in this Sm-content range have not been understood yet. We have thus investigated the crystallographic features of prepared SSMO samples with 0.46 ≤ x ≤ 0.55, mainly by transmission electron microscopy. As a result, all prepared SSMO samples were first confirmed to have the orthorhombic-Pnma structure at 300 K. When the temperature was lowered from 300 K, in the case of x=0.47, the disordered-Pnma state was found to be transformed into an orbital-modulated (OM) state accompanying an incommensurate modulation. The notable feature of the OM state is that the state becomes unstable with increasing Sm contents at 100 K. In other words, the OM state was never changed into the CE-type state with the orbital and charge modulations. In addition, no orbital-ordered state for the A-type antiferromagnetic ordering was also found for 0.46 ≤ x ≤ 0.55.

The ternary antimonides RE4T7Sb6 (RE=Gd-Lu; T =Ru, Rh) have been synthesized from the elements by arc-melting and subsequent annealing in an induction furnace. The samples have been characterized by powder X-ray diffraction. Four structures were refined on the basis of single-crystal X-ray diffractometer data: U4Re7Si6 type, space group Im3m with a=862.9(2) pm, wR2=0.0296, 163 F2 values for Er4Ru7Sb6; a=864.1(1) pm, wR2=0.1423, 153 F2 values for Yb4Ru7Sb6; a=872.0(2) pm, wR2=0.0427, 172 F2 values for Tb4Rh7Sb6; and a=868.0(2) pm, wR2=0.0529, 154 F2 values for Er4Rh7Sb6, with 10 variables per refinement. The structures have T1@Sb6 octahedra and slightly distorted RE@T26Sb6 cuboctahedra as building units. The distorted cuboctahedra are condensed via all trapezoidal faces, and this network leaves octahedral voids for the T1 atoms. The ruthenium-based series of compounds was studied by temperature-dependent magnetic susceptibility measurements. Lu4Ru7Sb6 is Pauli-paramagnetic. The antimonides RE4Ru7Sb6 with RE=Dy, Ho, Er, and Tm show Curie-Weiss paramagnetism. Antiferromagnetic ordering occurs at 10.0(5), 5.1(5) and 4.0(5) K for Dy4Ru7Sb6, Ho4Ru7Sb6 and Er4Ru7Sb6, respectively, while Tm4Ru7Sb6 remains paramagnetic. Yb4Ru7Sb6 is an intermediate-valent compound with a reduced magnetic moment of 3.71(1) μB per Yb as compared to 4.54 μB for a free Yb3+ ion
