ABSTRACTWe report on the new epitaxial system LaF3/Er/Dy/Er/LaF3/GaAs (111) grown by molecular beam epitaxy. X-ray diffraction studies have been used to determine the epitaxial relationships between the rare earths, the LaF3 and the substrate. Further studies of symmetric and asymmetric reflections yielded the in-plane and perpendicular strain components of the rare earth layers. Such systems may be used to probe the effects of magnetoelastic interactions and dimensionality on magnetic ordering in rare earth metal films and multilayers.

AbstractBy means of metal MBE technique with in-situ RHEED characterization, high-quality single crystal rare earth metal films of yttrium and gadolinium were grown as a necessary requirement for studying Gd/Y superlattices. The key step of this successful growth is the employment of the single-crystal Nb film as a buffer layer to eliminate the interaction of rare earth metals with most substrates. Structural analyses by X-ray diffraction and ion channeling show that these crystals exhibit not only complete texture of [00.1], but also narrow rocking curves both perpendicular (00.2) and parallel (10.0) to the film.

ABSTRACTWe report two new epitaxial systems, prepared by MBE: basal plane epitaxy of the rare earth metal Dy onto LaF3 films and vice versa. SQUID magnetometry studies indicate that buried epitaxial Dy films, of ∼300Å thick, order ferromagnetically at similar temperatures to bulk Dy crystals.These epitaxial systems are one member of a new family of epitaxial systems of basal plane epitaxy of rare earth metals on rare earth fluorides and vice versa. Such systems may be used to probe the effects of strain and dimensionality on magnetic ordering in rare earth metal films and multilayers.

Biodiesel Synthesis

Fe(II)-Zn-based double metal cyanide complex catalysts modified with rare earth metal or transition metal promoters(lanthanum, cerium, zirconium, manganese) for the production of biodiesel were prepared, and the effect of the addition of different metal promoters on the characteristics of the catalyst was studied by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), BET, ICP and Infrared techniques .The experiment results show that the Fe(II)-Zn-based catalyst promoted with 1 wt.% of La(NO3)3·nH2O exhibits the highest catalytic activity for the reaction, being as high as 99.3% of the yield of fatty acid methyl esters (FAME). Fe(II)-Zn-based catalysts have a tentative molecular formula: K2Zn3[Fe(CN)6]2·xH2O· (t-BuOH), where x=3-9 determined by using elemental analysis and ICP. It has been shown that the molecular formula of Fe(II)-Zn-based double metal cyanide complex catalysts did not change by adding 1 wt.% of rare earth metal or transition metal promoters. X-ray diffraction and BET results showed that Fe(II)-Zn-based catalysts with 1 wt.% of metal promoters salts exhibit smaller particle size, higher surface area than the Fe(II)-Zn catalyst ,which may be related to the higher activity of the catalysts.

Abstract Six new rare earth metal-rich intermetallic compounds RE9CoMg4 with RE=Y, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm and Lu were synthesized by induction-melting the elements in sealed niobium ampoules followed by annealing in muffle furnaces. The structures of Y9CoMg4 and Tm8.56CoMg4.44 were refined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data: P63/mmc, a=965.65(6), c=971.07(5) pm, wR2=0.0599, 614 F2 values, 20 variables for Y9CoMg4 and a=945.20(4), c=953.11(5) pm, wR2=0.0358, 585 F2 values, 21 variables for Tm8.56CoMg4.44 (a small homogeneity range results from Tm/Mg mixing). The RE9CoMg4 phases crystallize with a coloring variant of the aristotype Co2Al5. The striking structural motif is a hexagonal rod packing of rows of corner- and face-sharing tetrahedral Mg4 clusters with Mg–Mg distances ranging from 304 to 317 pm in Y9CoMg4. These rows are similar to the hexagonal Laves phases REMg2. The space between the rows is filled with rows of face-sharing Co@Y6 trigonal prisms (TP) and empty Y6 octahedra (O) in the sequence –TP–O–O–. The many isopointal coloring variants of the aristotype Co2Al5 are briefly discussed.

Single Transition

X-ray diffraction with synchrotron radiation has been used to study the phase transitions in compounds M5Ir4Si10 with M a rare-earth metal. For M = Er, Ho and Er0.84Lu0.16 phase transitions have been found towards a combined commensurate/incommensurate state, that locks into a commensurate state at lower temperatures. For M = Lu and Er0.66Lu0.34 there is a single transition towards a commensurate state. The results are interpreted in terms of commensurate structural transitions that induce incommensurate CDWs.

AbstractThe rare earth metal-rich cobalt and nickel aluminium compounds with the general compositions RE6Co2Al (RE=Sc, Y, Nd, Sm, Gd–Tm, Lu) and RE6Ni2.25Al0.75 (RE=Y, Gd–Tm, Lu) have been synthesised from the elements by arc-melting, followed by annealing. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction experiments on Y6Co2.02(1)Al0.98(1) (Ho6Co2Ga type; Immm; a=944.1(2), b=952.4(2), c=999.0(2) pm; wR2=0.0452, 1123 F2 values, 35 variables) and Y6Ni2.26(1)Al0.74(1) (Ho6Co2Ga type; Immm; a=938.30(5), b=959.45(5), c=996.05(6) pm; wR2=0.0499, 1131 F2 values, 35 variables) revealed that the compounds form solid solutions according to the general formula RE6(Co/Ni)2+xAl1−x with different homogeneity ranges. The compounds of the Ni series can be obtained in X-ray pure form only with the nominal composition RE6Ni2.25Al0.75. A significant increase of the U22 component of the anisotropic displacement parameters of the Co/Ni2 atoms (4g site) was observed that requires a description of the structure with a split-position model at RT. Further investigations by low temperature (90 K) single-crystal X-ray diffraction experiments of Y6Co2.02(1)Al0.98(1) showed a significant decrease of U22. Magnetic measurements were conducted on the X-ray pure members of the RE6Co2Al (RE=Y, Dy–Tm, Lu) series. Antiferromagnetic ordering was observed for the members with unpaired f electrons with Néel temperatures up to TN=48.0(1) K and two spin reorientations for Dy6Co2Al.

The ternary phase hexacerium tricosacadmium telluride, Ce6Cd23Te, was synthesized by a high-temperature reaction of the elements in sealed Nb ampoules and was structurally characterized by powder and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The structure, established from single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods, is isopointal with the Zr6Zn23Si structure type (Pearson symbolcF120, cubic space groupFm-3m), a filled version of the Th6Mn23structure with the same space group and Pearson symbolcF116. Though no Cd-containing rare-earth metal binaries are known to form with this structure, it appears that the addition of small amounts of ap-block element allows the formation of such interstitially stabilized ternary compounds. Temperature-dependent direct current (dc) magnetization measurements suggest local-moment magnetism arising from the Ce3+ground state, with possible valence fluctuations at low temperature, inferred from the deviations from the Curie–Weiss law.
