The structural, electrical and magnetic properties of the La 0.7 Sr 0.3 Mn 1− x Ti x O 3 system characterized by rhombohedral lattice distortions are studied. Substitution of titanium for manganese weakens ferromagnetism and leads to an increased resistivity. Using x-ray Rietveld full-profile refinement data and ferro…

The fluorescence of terbium (III) was enhanced by about three orders of magnitude in the presence of trimellitic acid (benzene-1, 2, 4-tricarboxylic acid (TLA)) in aqueous solution at pH 6. The fluorescence intensity could be greatly increased when the system of Tb 3+ -TLA was treated with La 3+ (or Gd 3+ ) and Triton…

The Fe 50 Co 50 , Fe 65 Co 35 , and Fe 35 Co 65 alloys heat-treated between 500 and 1300°C were characterized by x-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. The surface layer of the alloys was found to phase-separate in the range 900–1300°C, leading to the formation of alternating α and γ zones on the orde…

Ab initio molecular dynamics (MD) is used to investigate NO reaction processes on the (001) surface of CaO. A novel path is proposed for the first steps of nitrogen oxides reactivity catalyzed by the CaO surface. The mechanism consists of the formation of anionic dimers, adsorbing on the surface cations, at the expens…

Zeolites are crystalline porous aluminosilicate framework solids. Although there are many reports of how the structures change as a function of temperature, similar studies as a function of high pressure are relatively scarce. With the increasing availability of synchrotron X-ray sources and greater knowledge in the c…
