Oxygen vacancies are one of the most active defects existing at the surface of metal oxides.
Engineering of defect chemistry, especially oxygen vacancies, represents the possibility of …

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) jointly with the Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste
(EST) operates a multipurpose X-ray spectrometry endstation at the X-ray Fluorescence …

The strong metal–support interaction (SMSI) effect plays a central role in catalysis by
decreasing the catalytic activity or even improving it in some specific cases. In spite of the …

Ceria (CeO2) is being increasingly used as support of metallic nanoparticles in catalysis due
to its unique redox properties. Shedding light into the nature of the strong metal support …

Lignin-first biorefining constitutes a new research field in which the overarching objective is
the prevention of lignin recalcitrance while providing high-quality pulps. For this purpose, the …

Continuous discoveries in plant and crop physiology have resulted in an abundance of new
information since the publication of the second edition of the Handbook of Plant and Crop …

In the zero-field-cooled exchange bias (ZEB) effect, the unidirectional magnetic anisotropy is
set at low temperatures even when the system is cooled in the absence of an external …

In this paper, the growth kinetic of RCrO 3+ γ (R= Y, Pr, Nd, Gd and Dy; γ= 0 or 1)
compounds obtained by co-precipitation method is investigated by in-situ X-ray diffraction …

We report on the study of magnetic properties of the La 1.5 Ca 0.5 CoIrO 6 double
perovskite. Via ac magnetic susceptibility we have observed evidence of weak …

Abstract Barium-doped La 2 NiMnO 6 double perovskites have been investigated in order to
elucidate the role of the B-site doping on its magnetic, dielectric and vibrational properties. In …
