AbstractPerovskite-like mixed metal ruthenates are of interest owing to their varied electronic and magnetic properties, which are heavily dependent on the ordering of the transition metals. We report the synthesis and structural characterization of the first 1:2 ordered perovskite ruthenate, Sr3CaRu2O9. The structure was determined from a combination of powder X-ray, electron and neutron diffraction data and is characterized by a 1:2 ordering of Ca2+ and Ru5+ over the sixcoordinate B-sites of the perovskite lattice. Sr3CaRu2O9 is the first example of this structure-type to include a majority metal with d electrons (Ru(V), d3). The relationship of this material to the K2NiF4-type Sr1.5Ca0.5RuO4 (i.e., Sr3CaRu2O8) highlights the dramatic effects of the ruthenium valence on the resultant structure. Remarkably, these two structures can be quantitatively interconverted by the appropriate choice of reaction temperature and atmosphere.

A new complex phosphate K1.84Fe1.42Nb0.58(PO4)3 has been synthesized by the self-flux technique. The X-ray single crystal structure and magnetic properties were studied. The compound crystallizes in the cubic system with space group P213 (a = 9.9404(10) Å ) and belongs to the langbeinite structure type. The structure contains [M2P3O18] building units. “Closed” fragments [M8P9O60] provide space for location of two potassium atoms. Antiferromagnetic interactions were detected at low temperatures which originate from superexchange through a M(1)-O-P-O-M(2) pathway with corresponding J = −5.5(1) cm−1. The relationship between the UV/vis absorption and the structure is discussed.

Abstract Single crystals of the new oxochlorotantalate Nd7.33Ta8O28Cl6, could be obtained only by chemical transport reactions (T2 → T1; T2 - 1000 °C, T, = 900 °C) with mixtures of Cl2/TaCl5 as transport agent. NdTaO4 was chosen as the starting material. A direct preparative route to Nd7.33Ta8O28Cl6 from binary and ternary components, however, was not successful. Nd7.33Ta8O28Cl6 , crystallizes in the space group Cmmm with a = 10.3381(8) Å, b = 18.865(1) Å, c - 3.9152(3) A; Z = 1. The structure was refined to R - 4.42%, R w = 2.76%. Main building units are pairs of edge-sharing TaO6 -octahedra which are connected with threefold capped trigonal prisms around Nd. Especially remarkable is one Nd position with an occupation factor of 0.833. The relationship of this new structure type with Nd2Ta2O7Cl2 is considered. Furthermore, we have measured the magnetic susceptibilities of both Nd-compounds in a temperature range from 3,6 to 251,3 K. The results are compared with calculated data.

AbstractSingle-phase samples of T12Ba2CaCu2O8 and T12Ba2Ca2Cu3O10 have been prepared using a reliable and simple synthetic method. Samples were characterized by x-ray powder diffraction, magnetic susceptibility and four probe resistivity methods. The TcR=0 values for T12Ba2CaCu2O8 ranged from 100 to 105K, whereas those for T12Ba2Ca2Cu3O10 ranged from 96 to 107K. The relationship between the superconducting properties and the various preparation conditions are discussed.

ABSTRACTWe have studied the structural and magnetic properties of La0.7Sr0.3Mn1-xNixO3 (x=0.05, 0.10, 0.20, 0.30, and 0.40) perovskites using x-ray and neutron diffraction and magnetic measurements. To our knowledge, there exists no neutron diffraction data available for this group of perovskite compositions. Neutron (λ = 1.479Å) and x-ray (λ = 1.5481Å; Cu Kα) powder diffraction indicate that for x ≥ 0.1 all samples are two-phase with a rhombohedral perovskite structure (space group R-3c) and a small amount of NiO (space group Fm3m). Neutron diffraction data for the perovskite phase at 12K and 300K show ferromagnetic ordering for x ≤ 0.2 and antiferromagnetic ordering for x = 0.4. However, for x = 0.3, neutron diffraction data at 12K show coexisting ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic ordering while at 300K no magnetic ordering is found. Magnetic measurements indicate that the Curie temperature decreases with increasing Ni content. The NiO phase for all samples was found to have antiferromagnetic ordering at 12K and 300K. The magnetic measurements are consistent with the neutron diffraction data and together indicate long-range magnetic ordering for samples at low temperature and transitions from ferromagnetic to paramagnetic to antiferromagnetic ordering for samples at room temperature.

We report the synthesis under pressure, the critical temperature and the structural characteristics of YSr 2 Cu 3 O w . The compound does not form at normal pressure, but, once formed, can be retained at normal pressure in a metastable state. The synthesis was carried out in a multi-anvil apparatus at 30 kBars and 1050°C. The as-prepared sample was found to become superconductor with a Tc of ≈63 K. Tc increased up to ≈70 K after annealing in oxygen at 290°C. The refinement of the neutron diffraction data indicated that the as prepared YSr 2 Cu 3 O w is tetragonal (a=3.7855 Å and c=11.386 Å) and the oxygen content, w , is ≈ 6.84.

Thermoelectric materials are functional materials with the unique ability to interconvert heat and electricity, holding much promise for green energy solutions such as efficient waste heat recovery. The extraordinary thermoelectric performance of binary lead chalcogenides has caused huge research activity, but the mechanisms governing their unexpected low thermal conductivity still remain a controversial topic. It has been proposed to result from giant anharmonic phonon scattering or from local fluctuating dipoles on the Pb site, emerging with temperature on the Pb site.[1,2] No macroscopic symmetry change are associated with these effects, rendering them invisible to conventional crystallographic techniques. For this reason lead chalcogenides were until recently believed to adopt the ideal, undistorted rock-salt structure. In the present study, we probe the peculiar structural features in PbX (X = S, Se, Te) using multi-temperature synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction data in combination with the maximum entropy method. Distorted atoms are detected and quantified by refinement of anharmonic probability density functions. The charge density analysis is complemented by nuclear density distributions (NDDs) reconstructed from neutron diffraction data and by a novel method: Nuclear Enhanced X-ray Maximum Entropy Method (NEXMEM). NEXMEM offers an alternative route to experimental NDDs, exploiting the superior quality of synchrotron X-ray data compared to neutron diffraction data. The increased atomic resolution introduced by NEXMEM proved essential for resolving atomic distortions, see figure below showing Pb in the (100) plane. Our findings outline the extent of disorder and anharmonicity in binary lead chalcogenides, promoting our fundamental understanding of this class of high-performance thermoelectric materials. The applied approach can be used in general, opening up for widespread characterization of subtle features in crystals with unusual properties.

AbstractThe synthesis, structural characterization, and magnetic properties of three strontium rhodium oxides Sr6Rh5O15, Sr4Rh3O9+δ, and Sr9Rh7O21+δ, is presented. While Sr6Rh5O15 is an example of a commensurate n = 1 member of the A3n+3A'nBn+3O6n+9 family of oxides, Sr4Rh3O9+δ, and Sr9Rh7O21+°, are examples of incommensurate n =2 and n = 3 members. Sr6Rh5O15 crystallizes in space group R32, a = 19.3197(2) Å, c = 13.0418(1) Å. The Sr6Rh5O15 structure is a superstructure of the Ba6Ni5O15 structure type. Sr4Rh3O9+δ, and Sr9Rh7P21+δ crystallize in the superspace group with lattice parameters of a = 9.6007(6), c1 = 2.6881(2), c2 = 4.2373(3), and a = 9.6127(6), c1 = 2.6769(2), c2 = 4.252(1), respectively. Their magnetic data are consistent with antiferromagnetic coupling between the chains leading to an ordered state at low temperature.

This study focuses on the synthesis and characterization of a magnetic nanomaterial used in magnetic hyperthermia. Cerium gadolinium zinc-iron (CeGdZnFe) magnetic nanoparticles were synthesized by a coprecipitation method for application as magnetic hyperthermia agents. Determination of phase purity and their identification was achieved by X-ray diffraction studies using a Phillips powder diffractometer with Cu Kα radiation. Typical TEM micrographs of the dispersion of CeGdZn-ferrite nanoparticles and CeGdZn-ferrite PEG-encapsulated nanoparticles in ethanol deposited over a Cu grid were taken as part of the characterization techniques to be used for newly developed materials. It was then fitted by a Gaussian distribution with mean diameter dm ±1.0 nm. The investigation of magnetic properties showed that adjusting, Gd and Zn contributes to the nanoparticles added to the adjustment of all magnetic properties of CeGdZnFe.
