Magnetic Properties and Spin Crossover in Transition Metal Oxides with d 5 Ions at High Pressures

We analyze the influence of cooperative effects on the magnetic properties and spin crossover between the high-spin (HS) term S = 5/2 and low-spin (LS) term S = 1/2 in Mott–Hubbard dielectrics with 3d5 ions under high pressures. Two cooperation mechanisms (superexchange interaction and effective interaction via the elastic system) are considered. The sign of the exchange interaction changes because of the crossover from the antiferromagnetic in the HS state to the ferromagnetic in the LS state. In view of the large difference between the ionic radii of the HS and LS states, the systems with spin crossover acquire an additional strong coupling via the elastic system. Using the Hubbard operator representation and considering the electronic states of the two terms simultaneously, we obtain the effective Hamiltonian with allowance for the cooperative effects. The magnetic phase diagram and the spin crossover are investigated in the mean field approximation. It is shown that the inclusion of cooperative effects at low temperatures leads to a first-order phase transition between the antiferromagnetic HS state and the ferromagnetic LS state. At higher temperatures, more complicated sequences of phase transitions are possible upon an increase in pressure, including the HS paramagnet–HS antiferromagnet–LS paramagnet and HS antiferromagnet–LS paramagnet–LS ferromagnet transitions.     

壳聚糖与五种过渡金属离子形成配合物的研究

差热分析法、红外光谱法研究了壳聚糖和5种过渡元素金属离子盐(Fe3 、Co2 、Ni2 、Cu2 、Zn2 )形成不同壳聚糖金属配合物变化特征.结果表明,由于壳聚糖分子中含有大量的-NH2、-OH基,与金属离子发生配位作用后,吸热和放热峰均发生了较大的位移,在3400cm-1羟基和氨基、1654.11cm-1处酰胺IR吸收峰均发生了相应的变化;而位于1379cm-1 C-H弯曲和-CH3对称变形振动吸收峰保持不变,表明壳聚糖与金属离子发生配位后稳定空间构象发生变化.     

L-半胱氨酸-金属离子配合物的表面增强拉曼光谱研究

利用拉曼光谱仪测定L-半胱氨酸(L-Cys)的常规拉曼光谱(NRS)和表面增强拉曼光谱(SERS),发现L-Cys在纳米银棒上有明显的拉曼增强效应,对分子特征峰进行了归属,研究L-Cys在银纳米棒基底表面吸附机理,在固体NRS中在2 576 cm-1出处有明显的S-H伸缩振动峰,而SERS中没有出现,实验表明纳米银棒与L-Cys巯基上的S原子形成了Ag-S键,C-O和C-N伸缩振动有明显的增强。在不同pH值条件下,分析了L-Cys的拉曼光谱差异,探讨吸附行为的变化。在pH值为6时,S-H的伸缩振动峰基本消失,形成了稳定的S-Ag键;随着pH值增加趋于碱性时,羧基易失去H原子形成-COO-易与银发生吸附作用且振动峰增强。在pH值为7时,S原子与Ag形成稳定的S-Ag键,C-O和C-N的振动峰也最稳定。选择在pH值为7的条件下,在L-Cys溶液中加入Na+,Mg2+和Cu2+ 等10种金属盐,发现Al3+,Cu2+,Zn2+,Cd2+和Hg2+ 使L-Cys分子的结构发生了改变,金属离子与L-Cys另一端羧基发生作用,其中Cu2+,Zn2+,Cd2+和Hg2+随半径增大与S原子的孤电子发生作用越大。探讨了在不同pH值、不同比例和不同浓度下,金属离子与L-Cys作用SERS的变化,随着pH值、比例和浓度的增大,峰的强度有减小趋势。Cu2+与L-Cys作用的SERS信号很弱,Hg2+与L-Cys作用只出现了一个C-O的振动峰,说明Hg2+完全破坏了L-Cys的空间构型。该研究对蛋白质变性等的研究提供了重要参考信息。     

The Role of Metal Ions in the Study of Ancient Paper by Electron Paramagnetic Resonance

Samples from covers and endleaves of sixteenth to eighteenth century books in good conservation state from the Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana in Venice have been investigated by means of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy and optical microscopy to characterize the embedded paramagnetic species and to test differences and similarities of the materials in the two types of book components. We detected the Mn(II), Fe(III), and Cu(II) paramagnetic ions, and analyzed their EPR signals by comparing them with previous results in literature of EPR studies on paper. Interestingly, the Mn(II) EPR spectrum profile appears as a fingerprint for samples coming from the same book, either from cover or endleaf, and it looks different for samples extracted from different books. We discuss the role of EPR as a spectroscopic tool for characterizing the interaction of the ions with the paper components and as possible agents of degradation.

Strontium Tetraborate Glasses Doped with Transition Metal Ions: EPR and Optical Absorption Study

Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and optical studies have been carried out on Cu(II)-, VO(II)- and Cr(III)-doped strontium tetraborate glasses to understand the distortion and substitution of these ions. The EPR results of Cu(II) glass indicate that g _∥ > g _⊥, typical for the tetragonally elongated octahedral site of the Cu(II) impurity. The evaluated covalency parameter 0.788 suggests a moderate covalency for the bonding. By correlating EPR and optical results, the in-plane π-bonding β₁ ² is evaluated as 0.715. In the vanadium-doped glasses, the distortion must be a tetragonally elongated octahedron, similar to Cu(II). However, the EPR studies show that g _⊥ > g _∥ indicating the tetragonally compressed octahedral site for the ion. The site symmetry is C _4V. Supported by the optical absorption, evaluated parameters propose a moderate covalency. The EPR and optical results for Cr(III) glass indicate the distorted octahedral site symmetry in the host lattice. These results further suggest that the bonding between Cr(III) and the ligands is covalent. Authors' address: Renduchintala V. S. S. N.

A Surface Study of Ultrathin Ceria Nanoparticles Decorated with Transition‐Metal Ions

A wide range of nanoparticle properties can be tuned by changing their surface characteristics, especially when dealing with ultrathin nanomaterials. Surface modification with transition‐metal ions may affect a variety of the nanoparticles' properties including the surface charge, the electronic structure, and the electrical and optical characteristics. In this work, a surface study of ceria nanoparticles modified by attachment of various transition‐metal ions to their surface is conducted. Characterization of the decorated particles as well as of the modifying transition‐metal ion is carried out using zeta potential in organic solution, UV–Vis absorption, and electron paramagnetic resonance measurements, together with isothermal titration calorimetry, X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and energy dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy. All measurements confirm the attachment of the cation to the surface of ceria, both in solid state and in colloidal suspension. It is suggested that the modifying ion‐complex attaches to ceria both via chemical or strong physical interactions and weak physical interactions, demonstrated by a case‐study modification of ceria using a copper‐oleylamine complex. The metalization has a significant effect on the surface charge of the nanoparticles by shifting the zeta potential to more positive values and on the optical properties of the modifying transition‐metal ions by red‐shifting their absorption peak.     

Influence of Magnetic Susceptibility on Position and Line-width of Proton Magnetic Resonance Lines in Powder Samples of Transition Metal Hydrides

The basic theoretical ideas about the influence of the magnetic susceptibility of the sample material on the nuclear magnetic resonance line position and width of powder samples are discussed. Three different effects may occur the respective influence of which could be derived from multiple-pulse line-narrowing experiments with and without rapid magic-angle sample spinning using powder samples mixed from polymer and metal powders. Measures to avoid the influence of the susceptibility effects are proposed.

Transition of Growth Mode in Homoepitaxy on Metal Surface

The process of the multilayer growth of Pt on Pt (111) is studied by using a Monte Carlo model with realistic physical parameters. The effects of the substrate temperature, the ES barrier, and the deposition rate on the growth mode have been investigated. Gradual transitions of the surface roughness from oscillatory to non-oscillatory behavior and then back to oscillatory behavior are observed while increasing the substrate temperature from 270 K to 620 K. It is found that the growth mode depends strongly on ES barrier over the whole temperatures and the deposition rate of atoms effectively affects the growth mode. The simulation results are consistent with many experimental observations for homoexpitaxy on a Pt (111) substrate.
