High-spin cobalt(II) complexes are considered useful building blocks for the synthesis of single-molecule magnets (SMM) because of their intrinsic magnetic anisotropy. In this work, three new cobalt(II) chloride adducts with labile ligands have been synthesized from anhydrous CoCl2, to be subsequently employed as starting materials for heterobimetallic compounds. The products were characterized by elemental, spectroscopic (EPR and FT–IR) and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses.trans-Tetrakis(acetonitrile-κN)bis(tetrahydrofuran-κO)cobalt(II) bis[(acetonitrile-κN)trichloridocobaltate(II)], [Co(C2H3N)4(C4H8O)2][CoCl3(C2H3N)]2, (1), comprises mononuclear ions and contains both acetonitrile and tetrahydrofuran (thf) ligands, The coordination polymercatena-poly[[tetrakis(propan-2-ol-κO)cobalt(II)]-μ-chlorido-[dichloridocobalt(II)]-μ-chlorido], [Co2Cl4(C3H8O)4], (2′), was prepared by direct reaction between anhydrous CoCl2and propan-2-ol in an attempt to rationalize the formation of the CoCl2–alcohol adduct (2), probably CoCl2(HOiPr)m. The binuclear complex di-μ-chlorido-1:2κ4Cl:Cl-dichlorido-2κ2Cl-tetrakis(tetrahydrofuran-1κO)dicobalt(II), [Co2Cl4(C4H8O)4], (3), was obtained from (2) after recrystallization from tetrahydrofuran. All three products present cobalt(II) centres in both octahedral and tetrahedral environments, the former usually less distorted than the latter, regardless of the nature of the neutral ligand. Product (2′) is stabilized by an intramolecular hydrogen-bond network that appears to favour atransarrangement of the chloride ligands in the octahedral moiety; this differs from thecisdisposition found in (3). The expected easy displacement of the bound solvent molecules from the metal coordination sphere makes the three compounds good candidates for suitable starting materials in a number of synthetic applications.

The two mononuclear complexes of the formula [Dy(tta)3(L)] (1) and [Dy(hfac)3(L)] (2) (where tta- = 2-thenoytrifluoroacetylacetonate and hfac- = 1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoroacetylacetonate) were obtained from the coordination reaction of the Dy(tta)3·2H2O or Dy(hfac)3·2H2O units with the 1,10-phenantroline-5,6-dione ligand (L). Their structures have been determined by X-ray diffraction studies on single crystals, and they revealed a supramolecular assembly of tetramers through σ-π interactions. Both complexes displayed a Single-Molecule Magnet (SMM) behavior without an external applied magnetic field. Magnetic relaxation happened through Orbach, Raman and Quantum Tunneling of the Magnetization (QTM). Wavefunction theory calculations were realized to rationalize the magnetic properties.

Slow Magnetic Relaxation

In this work, based on mixed N-, O-donor ligands, a series of Co(ii)-Dy(iii) compounds are synthesised and characterised by single crystal X-ray diffraction and magnetic studies. These compounds include Co2(phen)2Dy(PhCOO)7 (1), Co2(phen)2Dy2(PhCOO)10 (2), Co(bpy)Dy(H2O)(CH3-PhCOO)5 (3), Co(phen)Dy(H2O)(CH3-PhCOO)5 (4), Co2(phen)2Dy(NO2-PhCOO)7 (5), Co2(phen)2Dy2(NO2-PhCOO)10 (6), and Co2(bpy)2Dy2(NO2-PhCOO)10 (7), where phen, bpy, CH3-PhCOOH, and NO2-PhCOOH are 1,10-phenanthroline, 2,2′-bipyridine, 3-methylbenzoic acid, and 3-nitrobenzoic acid, respectively. In these cases, di-, tri-, and tetranuclear Co-Dy clusters are observed. Direct current (DC) magnetic susceptibility reveals ferromagnetic or antiferromagnetic behaviour, whilst dynamic magnetic studies disclose single molecule magnet (SMM)-like slow magnetic relaxation for most of these compounds.

AbstractGaN, AIN and AIGaN layers were grown by hydride vapor phase epitaxy. 6H-SiC wafers were used as substrates. Properties of AIN/GaN and AIGaN/GaN structures were investigated. AIGaN growth rate was about 1 μm/min. The thickness of the AIGaN layers ranged from 0.5 to 5 μm. The AIN concentration in AIGaN layers was varied from 9 to 67 mol. %. Samples were characterised by electron beam micro analysis, Auger electron spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and cathodoluminescence.Electrical measurements performed on AIGaN/GaN/SiC samples indicated that undoped AIGaN layers are conducting at least up to 50 mol. % of AIN.

Films containing the metals copper, yttrium, calcium, strontium, barium, and bismuth were grown by organometallic chemical vapor deposition (OMCVD). Depositions were carried out at atmospheric pressure in an oxygen-rich environment using metal beta-diketonates and triphenylbismuth. The films were characterized by Auger electron spectroscopy, Nomarski and scanning electron microscopy, and x-ray diffraction. The results show that films containing yttrium consisted of Y2O3 with a small amount of carbidic carbon, those with copper and bismuth were mixtures of oxides with no detectable carbon, and those with calcium, strontium, and barium contained carbonates. Use of a partially fluorinated barium beta-diketonate gave films of BaF2 with small amounts of BaCO3.

Effects of hydrofluoric acid (HF) treatment on the properties of Y–Ba–Cu–O oxides were investigated. No obvious etching of bulk Y–Ba–Cu–O and no degradation of zero resistance temperature were observed even though the oxides were placed into 49% HF solution for up to 20 h. Surface passivation of Y–Ba–Cu–O due to HF immersion was verified by subsequent immersion of Y–Ba–Cu–O in water. A thin layer of amorphous fluoride formed on the surface of the Y–Ba–Cu–O during HF treatment, which limited further reaction between Y–Ba–Cu–O and HF, and later reaction with water. Thin film Y–Ba–Cu–O was passivated by HF vapors and showed no degradation in Tc-zero after 30 min immersion in water. The properties of the surface layer of Y–Ba–Cu–O oxide after HF treatment are reported from Auger electron spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy studies.

Abstract Interior plaster from the Abbot's Palace of the Abbey of Villers-la-Ville, Brabant Wallon province, Belgium has been investigated. It is done by using chemical analysis, x-ray diffraction analysis, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive electron spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. It is found that the rendering was made with lime rich mortar and animal hairs. The sand used was very fine and the hairs were very short. The solid constituents and the hairs were uniformly dispersed, which could have been obtained by the addition of some other natural polymer, containing protein.

In-situ resistivity vs. temperature, Rutherford backscattering spectrometry, Auger electron spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction measurements have been performed in order to study the effects arising from the presence of oxygen in the annealing ambient on the integrity of amorphous films of TiSix, with x ranging from 1.45 to 2.1. Crystalisation occurs around 400 C. The presence of oxygen produces the formation of silicon and titanium oxide around 500 C. Critical analysis of the experimental results have indicated that metal oxidation is inhibited when an excess of silicon is present, which suggests the use of a sputtered Si coating cap as a medium capable of effectively decoupling the silicide film from oxygen. This avoids unwanted Ti oxidation even in heavily oxygen contaminated ambients up to the highest temperatures used for the formation of low resistivity titanium disilicide.

The reaction between the 2,2’-benzene-1,4-diylbis(6-hydroxy-4,7-di-tert-butyl-1,3-benzodithiol-2-ylium-5-olate triad (H2SQ) and the metallo-precursor [Yb(hfac)3]⋅2H2O led to the formation of a dinuclear coordination complex of formula [Yb2(hfac)6(H2SQ)]⋅0.5CH2Cl2 (H2SQ-Yb). After chemical oxidation of H2SQ in 2,2’-cyclohexa-2,5-diene-1,4-diylidenebis(4,7-di-tert-butyl-1,3-benzodithiole-5,6-dione (Q), the latter triad reacted with the [Yb(hfac)3]⋅2H2O precursor to give the dinuclear complex of formula [Yb2(hfac)6(Q)] (Q-Yb). Both dinuclear compounds have been characterized by X-ray diffraction, DFT optimized structure and electronic absorption spectra. They behaved as field-induced Single-Molecule Magnets (SMMs) nevertheless the chemical oxidation of the semiquinone to quinone moieties accelerated by a factor of five the relaxation time of the magnetization of Q-Yb compared to the one for H2SQ-Yb. The H2SQ triad efficiently sensitized the YbIII luminescence while the chemical oxidation of H2SQ into Q induced strong modification of the absorption properties and thus a quenching of the YbIII luminescence for Q-Yb. In other words, both magnetic modulation and luminescence quenching are reached by the oxidation of the protonated semiquinone into quinone.
