Structures of calcium peroxide (CaO2) are investigated in the pressure range 0-200 GPa using the ab initio random structure searching (AIRSS) method and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. At 0 GPa, there are several CaO2…
Hafnia (HfO2) is a silicon-compatible dielectric material, yet stabilizing its desired but metastable ferroelectric phase remains challenging. Phase stability predictions by density functional theory (DFT) have provided crucial guidance,…
Iron chalcogenide Fe(Te,Se) attracted much attention due to its simple structure, which is favorable for probing the superconducting mechanism. Its less toxic nature compared with iron arsenides is also advantageous for applications of…
In this report we present a systematic study on the preparation of Co:ZnO ceramics via standard solid-state route from different Co precursors (Co3O4, CoO and metallic Co) and atmospheres (O2 and Ar). Particular emphasis was done on the…
Fe-gluconate, Fe(C_6H_11O_7_2xH_2O is a well-known material widely used for iron supplementation. On the other hand, it is used in food industry as a coloring agent, in cosmetic industry for skin and nail conditioning and metallurgy.…
Steelmaking contributes 8% to the total CO2 emissions globally, primarily due to coal-based iron ore reduction. Clean hydrogen-based ironmaking has variable performance because the dominant gas-solid reduction mechanism is set by the…
The investigation of the defect chemistry of solid oxides is of central importance for the understanding of redox processes. This can be performed by measuring conductivity as a function of the oxygen partial pressure, which is…
Small ruby crystals were grown by the Czochralski technique in different atmospheres and their actual chromium content was analysed by a wet chemical method. The chromium distribution coefficient k was found to be strongly dependent on…
Oxygen solubility in solid iron is extremely low, even at high pressures and temperatures. Thus far, no Fe-O compounds between Fe and FeO endmembers have been reported experimentally. We observed chemical reactions of Fe with FeO or…
Metal-support interactions are frequently invoked to explain the enhanced catalytic activity of metal nanoparticles dispersed over reducible metal-oxide supports, yet the atomic scale mechanisms are rarely known. Here, we use scanning…
This paper reports on the structural and optical properties of Co-doped TiO2 thin films grown onto (0001) Al2O3 substrates by non-reactive pulsed laser deposition (PLD) using argon as buffer gas. It is shown that by keeping constant the…
This paper describes the use of a high-stability quartz-crystal microbalance (QCM) to measure the mass of a gas absorbed on and in the metal electrode on the quartz oscillator, when the gas pressure is low and the gas can be considered as…
Based on the Density Functional Theory calculations, we propose a new pathway toward compounds featuring flat [AgF2] layers which mimic [CuO2] layers in high-temperature oxocuprate superconductor precursors. Calculations predict the dynamic…
Iron-bearing oxides undergo a series of pressure-induced electronic, spin and structural transitions that can cause seismic anomalies and dynamic instabilities in Earth's mantle and outer core. We employ x-ray diffraction and x-ray emission…
The equation of state (EOS) for partially ionized carbon, oxygen, and carbon-oxygen mixtures at temperatures 3\times10^5 K <~ T <~ 3\times10^6 K is calculated over a wide range of densities, using the method of free energy minimization in…
Iron-pnictides Ca(Fe1-xRhx)2As2 (x = 0, 0.035, and 0.19) were studied across the tetragonal-orthorhombic and uncollapsed to collapsed tetragonal phase transitions using Raman spectroscopy. The effect of the phase separation was observed in…
The abundance of alpha-process elements such as magnesium and carbon relative to iron measured from the broad emission lines of QSOs can serve as a diagnostic of the star formation and chemical enrichment histories of their host galaxies.…
The physicochemical behavior of elements and compounds is heavily altered by high pressure. The occurrence of pressure-induced reactions and phase transitions can be revealed by crystal structure prediction approaches. In this work, we…
Using ab initio thermodynamics we compile a phase diagram for the surface of Fe3O4(001) as a function of temperature and oxygen pressures. A hitherto ignored polar termination with octahedral iron and oxygen forming a wave-like structure…
The influence of pressure on the hydrogen bond ordering in the perovskite metal-organic framework [(CH3)2NH2]Mn(HCOO)3 has been investigated by dielectric, pyroelectric adn magnetic measurements in a piston-cylinder cell. Under ambient…
