Resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) has recently been a subject of remarkable
progress due to the advent of high-brilliance synchrotron radiation sources. The authors …

X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) work on Ce 2 O 3 and CeO 2 oxides has been an
active topic of research over the past four decades or so. Such research aimed to find the …

Core level spectroscopy has become a powerful tool in the study of electronic states in
solids. From fundamental aspects to the most recent developments, Core Level …

This work considers the effect of fission-energy ion irradiation on the electronic structure at
the surface of bulk and thin film samples of CeO 2 as a simulant for UO 2 nuclear fuel. For …

Covalency in Ln–Cl bonds of O h-LnCl6 x–(x= 3 for Ln= CeIII, NdIII, SmIII, EuIII, GdIII; x= 2 for
Ln= CeIV) anions has been investigated, primarily using Cl K-edge X-ray absorption …

Two isostructural series of trigonal prismatic complexes, M (BpMe) 3 and M (BcMe) 3 (M= Y,
Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, U;[BpMe]−= dihydrobis (methypyrazolyl) borate;[BcMe]−= dihydrobis …

The electron configuration in single crystalline (sc-) titanium nitride (TiN) has been
quantitatively studied using angle resolved X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (AR-XPS). All …

Oxygen storage/release (OSC) capacity is an important feature common to all three-way
catalysts to combat harmful exhaust emissions. To understand the mechanism of improved …

The methylene blue (MB) removal abilities of raw activated carbon and iron/cerium modified
raw activated carbon (Fe–Ce-AC) by adsorption were researched and compared. The …

We followed the reduction of Ce4+ in CeO2 by observing changes in the shape of the Ce
M4, 5 edge by parallel electron energy-loss spectroscopy with a transmission electron …
