The current status of knowledge regarding the surfaces of the iron oxides, magnetite (Fe 3 O
4), maghemite (γ-Fe 2 O 3), haematite (α-Fe 2 O 3), and wüstite (Fe 1− x O) is reviewed. The …

Magnetic resonance angiography using gadolinium-based molecular contrast agents suffers
from short diagnostic window, relatively low resolution and risk of toxicity. Taking into …

Magnetic materials at the nanometer scale can demonstrate highly tunable properties as a
result of their reduced dimensionality. While significant advancements have been made in …

Copper is a well-known reduction promoter for Fe-based Fischer–Tropsch catalysts. The
role of copper is investigated using spinel copper ferrite, CuFe 2 O 4, and delafossite …

In order to implement the Heusler alloys in spintronic devices, the half-metallic property
should be preserved at the surfaces even with contamination elements that may be present …

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations have been employed to investigate the
adsorption behaviors of CO and H 2 on various FeO surfaces in order to explore the …

By means of density functional theory calculations that account for the on-site Coulomb
interaction via a Hubbard term (DFT+ U), we systematically investigated CO adsorption on …

The water–gas shift reactions (WGS) used to produce hydrogen in industry are usually
catalyzed by iron-based catalysts, in which the Fe 3 O 4 was confirmed to be the catalytically …

Density functional theory calculations including an on-site Hubbard term are used to explore
hydrogen adsorption on the surface of Fe3O4 (001). The adsorption energy exhibits a …

The adsorption and dissociation of H 2, the migration ability of H atom, as well as the
competition relationship between adsorption or deoxidation of H 2 with increasing of H …
