Magnetic Properties of Novel Layered Disulfides CuCr0.99Ln0.01S2 (Ln = La…Lu)

The comprehensive study of the lanthanide-doped solid solutions CuCr0.99Ln0.01S2 (Ln = La…Lu) magnetic properties was carried out using static magnetochemistry and differential scanning calorimetry techniques. It was shown that magnetic properties of CuCr0.99Ln0.01S2 are significantly affected by the magnetic properties of the lanthanide ion. The magnetic susceptibility and the effective magnetic moment were found to deviate from the Curie-Weiss law in the temperature 90 K below and 50 K above the order-disorder transition at 695 K. The observed behavior of the temperature dependence of the effective magnetic moment in the order-disorder transition temperature region was described as a result of copper atoms redistribution over different types of the crystallographic sites.

Meloxicam and Study of Their Antimicrobial Effects against Phyto- and Human Pathogens

Recently, the design of new biological metal-ligand complexes has gained a special interest all over the world. In this research, new series of mixed ligand complexes from meloxicam (H2mel) and glycine (Gly) were synthesized. Structures of the compounds were investigated employing elemental analyses, infrared, electronic absorption, 1H NMR, thermal analyses, effective magnetic moment and conductivity. The estimated molar conductivity of the compounds in 1 × 10−3 M DMF solution indicates the non-electrolyte existence of the examined complexes. Additionally, the effective magnetic moment values refer to the complexes found as octahedral molecular geometry. The data of the infrared spectra showed the chelation of H2mel and Gly with metal ions from amide oxygen and nitrogen of the thyizol groups of H2mel and through nitrogen of the amide group and oxygen of the carboxylic group for Gly. Thermal analyses indicated that the new complexes have good thermal stability and initially lose hydration water molecules followed by coordinated water molecules, Gly and H2mel. The kinetic parameters were calculated graphically using Coats–Redfern and Horowitz–Metzeger methods at n = 1 and n ≠ 1. The density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed at B3LYP levels. The optimized geometry of the ligand and its complexes were obtained based on the optimized structures. The data indicated that the complexes are soft with η value in the range 0.114 to 0.086, while η = 0.140 for free H2mel. The new prepared complexes were investigated as antibacterial and antifungal agents against some phyto- and human pathogens and the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) data showed that complex (A) has the lowest MIC for Listeria and E. coli (10.8 µg/mL).

Effect of Temperature on the Dielectric and Magnetic Properties of NiFe2O4@MgFe2O4 and ZnFe2O4@MgFe2O4 Core-Shell

The core-shell NiFe2O4@MgFe2O4 (NiF@MgF) and ZnFe2O4@MgFe2O4 (ZnF@MgF) are stable nanocomposites. The experimental results showed perfect dielectric and magnetic properties different than their components. The experimental data revealed that the mutual effect between the core and the shell increases the space charge polarization. Also, the samples showed semiconducting-metallic behavior, which varies according to the temperatures and the frequencies. Furthermore, the magnetization M(T) was studied using the Faraday balance method of all samples. The obtained results of M(T) exhibit good magnetic properties of the core-shell samples, particularly the sample ZnF@MgF, where it possesses magnetization higher than the pure ferrite phase (MgFe2O4) and Curie temperature (TCm) higher than the room temperature, and this is new for Zn-ferrite. Besides, the effective magnetic moment (µEff) and the Curie-Weiss constant (θ) were obtained from the magnetic susceptibility χ(T) protocols.

Электрическое сопротивление и магнитная восприимчивость сплавов CoFeSiBNb + REM при высоких температурах

Electrical resistivity and magnetic susceptibility of Co48Fe25Si4B19Nb4 + R (R = Nd, Sm, Tb, Yb) alloys in crystalline and liquid states were studied in present work. Electronic characteristics (effective magnetic moment, density of states at the Fermi level and paramagnetic Curie temperature) were calculated from experimental data. It is shown that all rare earth metals that were used should increase the glass-forming ability of alloys, but neodymium and samarium can have the greatest effect.
