Electronic and magnetic properties of all 3d transition‐metal‐doped ZnO monolayers

Stable geometries, electronic structures, and magnetic properties of the ZnO monolayer doped with 3d transition‐metal (TM) (Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, and Cu) atoms substituting the cation Zn have been investigated using first‐principles pseudopotential plane wave method within density functional theory (DFT). It is found that these nine atomic species can be effectively doped in the ZnO monolayer with formation energies ranging from ?6.319 to ?0.132 eV. Furthermore, electronic structures and magnetic properties of ZnO monolayer can be modified by such doping. The results show that the doping of Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, and Cu atoms can induce magnetization, while no magnetism is observed when Sc, Ti, and V atoms are doped into the ZnO monolayer. The magnetic moment is mainly due to the strong p–d mixing of O and TM (Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, and Cu) orbitals. These results are potentially useful for spintronic applications and the development of magnetic nanostructures. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Determination of impurities in high-purity niobium(V) oxide by high-resolution continuum source graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry after sorption preconcentration

Method of sorption–atomic-absorption determination of Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, and Ni in samples of high-purity Nb₂O₅ with heterochain S,N-containing sorbents was developed. The method is based on the sorption preconcentration of trace impurities followed by their determination by high-resolution continuum source graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (HR CS GFAAS). Selectivity of three original inhouse synthesized S,N-containing heterochain sorbents was studied. The recoveries of Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, and Ni using heterochain sorbents OKS, MTH, and GLSH were 100, 80, and 76%, correspondingly. Sorbent “OKS”, which provided the quantitative recovery of trace impurities, was chosen for further research. The sorption conditions for chloride solutions of different acidities (0.1–3 M HCl) were studied and optimized. Using the conditions established for the sorption and HR CS GFAAS analysis, trace Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, and Ni were determined in high purity Nb₂O₅ with a relative error less than 5%. The trueness control of the obtained results is confirmed by the “added–found” method. The developed method allows us to determine concentrations of analytes: 0.02–0.20 ppm Co, 2.0–3.3 ppm Cr, 0.2–1.5 ppm Cu, 6.0–21.0 ppm Fe, 0.6–0.8 ppm Mn, and 2.8–3.5 ppm Ni. The proposed methodology can be successfully extended to the determination of various trace elements in other high-purity inorganic materials.

Determination of impurities in nuclear fuel element components by neutron activation analysis

Neutron activation analysis methods for the determination of impurities in zirconium cladding material and uranium oxide are described. Detection limits for the elements Al, Cd, Cr, Co, Cu, Hf, Fe, Mn, Ni, W and U in zirconium are below that required by the ASTM B 352-79 standard. The method has been tested on the NIST SRM 360a Zircaloy-2 from which the elements Na, Mg, Al, Ca, V, Cr, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Eu and U have been detected. The values for Cr, Fe, Ni and Cu are compared with the certified values. A method for the pre-irradiation separation of the elements Mg, Na, Al, K, Sc, Ca, V, Mn, Cr, Fe, Co, Cu, Zn, Rb, Zr, Cd, Cs, REE and Hf from uranium has been developed. A neutron activation analysis method for the determination of those elements in uranium is described. The method is tested by the analysis of the IAEA reference sample SR-54/64. The elements Al, Mn, V, Cu, Cr, Co, Ni and Fe have been detected and the results compared with the certified values.     

Combinatorial screening of PtTiMe ternary alloys for oxygen electroreduction

The catalytic oxygen electroreduction properties of PtTiMe (Me = Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Mo, Ni, Pd, Ta, V, W and Zr) ternary alloys were studied using an in-house developed thin film based combinatorial high throughput method. Libraries containing discrete alloy compositions were fabricated by plasma co-sputtering and the resulting alloys were electrochemically screened by the hydrodynamic rotating disk electrode technique. Candidate catalysts were identified by comparing the activity-stability-composition relationships between the platinum titanium alloys and pure platinum standard. Among the PtTiMe alloys studied, PtTiNi, PtTiCu and PtTiV, respectively, displayed the highest catalytic oxygen electroreduction activities with a tenfold, an eightfold and a sixfold enhancement as compared to the pure platinum standard and good chemical stabilities.     

过渡金属离子置换钛酸纳米管的制备和光催化活性

TiO2纳米粉体和纳米膜材料在光催化降解大气和水中的污染物等方面具有广泛的应用[1]。近年来,以TiO2为原料与浓N aO H反应合成的钛酸纳米管具有比其原料TiO2更大的表面积和孔体积,且对丙烯有光催化氧化降解活性而备受关注[2]。以往在对TiO2纳米粉体和纳米膜材料在光催化研究中,人们发现由于光激发产生的电子与空穴的复合,导致光量子效率很低。为克服这个缺点,人们使用过渡金属离子掺杂等多种手段对TiO2进行改性[3]。但钛酸纳米管相类似的研究还未见报道。对钛酸纳米管的结构和组成的研究表明[4],此纳米管状物的组成是N axH2-xTi3O7,…     

Transfer of a quadridentate N2S2 ligand from M2+ (M=Cr,Mn, Fe,Co or Ni) to Cu2+: Unexpected reactivities of bimetallic intermediates

A series of complexes of stoichiometry [MX2(dipyS)] {dipyS = bis(2–picolyl)-1,3–dithiopropane); M=Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, X=Cl; M=Ni or Cu, X=NO3} and [VOCl(dipyS)]Cl have been prepared and characterised, including the X-ray crystal structure of [Ni(ONO2)2(dipyS)]. The kinetics of the transfer of dipyS from these complexes (M=Cr, Mn, Fe, Co or Ni) to Cu2+, to form [Cu(dipyS)]2+, have been studied in MeOH. For M=Ni, the kinetics are consistent with a mechanism involving rate-limiting dissociation of the initial pyridyl—M bond. Subsequent binding of Cu2+ to the pendant pyridyl-residue (or binding Cl– to the vacant site on M) is followed by the complete transfer of dipyS from M to Cu. For M=Cr, Mn or Co, the same mechanism is believed to operate, but in these cases intermediates in the dipyS transfer to Cu2+ have been detected spectroscopically. Evidence is presented that these intermediates have Cu2+ bound to a pendant pyridyl-group on [MCl2(dipyS)] and that the subsequent complete transfer of dipyS involves rate-limiting dissociation of a M—S bond. For M=Fe, e.p.r. spectroscopy shows that the complex is a dimer in solution. However, the transfer reaction with Cu2+ involves an analogous intermediate to that with M=Cr, Mn or Co, but only at high concentrations of Cu2+. Unexpectedly, the binding of Cu2+ inhibits the transfer of dipyS from Fe to Cu. The electronic factors which give rise to this behaviour are discussed.

Composition depth profile analysis of electrodeposited alloys and metal multilayers: the reverse approach

The reverse depth profile analysis is a recently developed method for the study of a deposit composition profile in the near-substrate zone. The sample preparation technique enables one to separate the deposit and a thin cover layer from its substrate, and the initial roughness of the sample is much smaller than in the conventional sputtering direction. This technique is particularly suitable to study the zones being formed in the early phase of the electrodeposition of alloys. It has been demonstrated with the reverse depth profile analysis that in many cases when one component of an alloy is preferentially deposited, an initial zone is formed that is rich in the preferentially deposited component. This phenomenon is demonstrated for Ni–Cd, Ni–Sn, Fe–Co–Ni, Co–Ni, and Co–Ni–Cu alloys. The composition change is confined to the initial 150-nm-thick deposit, and it is the result of the interplay of the deposition preference and the depletion of the electrolyte near the cathode with respect to the ion reduced preferentially. The reverse depth profile analysis made it possible to compare the measured and the calculated composition depth profile of electrodeposited multilayers. It has been shown that the decay in the composition oscillation intensity in Co/Cu multilayers with the increase of the sputtering depth can be derived from the roughness measured as a function of the deposit thickness.

The determination of trace metals in mineral waters : Part I. Atomic Absorption Spectrometric Determination of Cd,Co, Cr,Cu, Ni and Pb by Electrothermal Atomization After Concentration by Co-precipitation

Procedures based on flameless atomic absorption spectrometry are described for the determination of Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Ni and Pb in mineral waters. Because of matrix effects and the inadequate detection limits for direct determinations, the metals are separated from the macrocomponents by precipitation of their tetramethylenedithiocarbamates with iron(III) as collector, or by co-precipitation on Fe(OH)₃. The detection limits are 0.005, 0.3, 0.08. 0.10, 2 and 0.10 μg l^- for Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Ni and Pb, respectively, and are satisfactory for the determination of these elements in mineral waters. The precision is 2–7%.

Relationship between the catalytic properties of the products of the oxidative thermolysis of certain complexes and the porous structures of samples in the oxidation reactions of volatile organic compounds

The rate of the gas-phase oxidation of ethanol, 2-propanol, acetone, ethyl acetate, dioxane, and benzene with atmospheric oxygen is studied on surfaces of bimetallic oxide catalysts Co–Fe, Cu–Fe, Cr–Co, and Ni–Fe, prepared via thermal decomposition of double complex compounds in air. It is found that the rate of oxidation of volatile compounds depends on the volume of the transient pores in the catalyst sample. The rate of oxidation on the same catalyst at 350°C depends on the nature of the substance in the order: acetone > ethyl acetate > ethanol > propanol > dioxane, benzene.

Synthesis and characterization of 3-methyl-5-oxo-N,1-diphenyl-4,5-dihydro-1-H-pyrazole-4-carbothioamide and its metal complexes

The molecular parameters have been calculated to confirm the geometry of 3-methyl-5-oxo-N,1-diphenyl-4,5-dihydro-1-H-pyrazole-4-carbothioamide, HL. The compound is introduced as a new chelating agent for complexation with Cr(III), Fe(III), Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) ions. The isolated chelates were characterized by partial elemental analyses, magnetic moments, spectra (IR, UV–vis, ESR; ¹H NMR) and thermal studies. The protonation constant of HL (5.04) and the stepwise stability constants of its Co(II), Cu(II), Cr(III) and Fe(III) complexes were calculated. The ligand coordinates as a monobasic bidentate through hydroxo and thiol groups in all complexes except Cr(III) which acts as a monobasic monodentate through the enolized carbonyl oxygen. Cr(III) and Fe(III) complexes measured normal magnetic moments; Cu(II) and Co(II) measured subnormal while Ni(II) complex is diamagnetic. The data confirm a high spin and low spin octahedral structures for the Fe(III) and Co(II) complexes. The ESR spectrum of the Cu(II) complex support the binuclear structure. The molecular parameters have also been calculated for the Cu(II) and Fe(III) complexes. The thermal decomposition stages of the complexes confirm the MS to be the residual part. Also, the thermodynamic and kinetic parameters were calculated for some decomposition steps.
