Dynamic nuclear polarisation of 1H in Gd-doped In(OH)3

David Lyndon Emsley, Michael Allan Hope, Amrit Venkatesh, Yuxuan Zhang

Dynamic nuclear polarisation (DNP) of solids doped with high-spin metal ions, such as Gd3+, is a useful strategy to enhance the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) sensitivity for these samples. Spin diffusion can relay polarisation throughout a sample, which ...

Endogenous O-17 Dynamic Nuclear Polarization of Gd-Doped CeO2 from 100 to 370 K

David Lyndon Emsley, Snaedis Björgvinsdóttir, Moreno Lelli, Michael Allan Hope, Georges Guévork Jean-Jacques Menzildjian, Bowen Zhang, Zhuoran Wang

O-17 NMR is an invaluable tool to study the structure and dynamics of oxide materials but remains challenging to apply in many systems. Even with isotopic enrichment, studies of samples with low masses and/or concentrations of the active species, such as t ...

Design of Ductile Rare-Earth-Free Magnesium Alloys

William Curtin, Binglun Yin, Zhaoxuan Wu, Rasool Ahmad

Pure Mg has low ductility due to a transition of < c+a > pyramidal dislocations to a sessile basal-oriented structure. Dilute alloying generally improves ductility. Enhancement of pyramidal cross-slip from the lower-energy pyramidal II plane to the higher- ...

Accessing the plus IV Oxidation State in Molecular Complexes of Praseodymium

Marinella Mazzanti, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani, Ivica Zivkovic, Aurélien René Willauer

Out of the 14 lanthanide (Ln) ions, molecular complexes of Ln(IV) were known only for cerium and more recently terbium. Here we demonstrate that the +IV oxidation state is also accessible for the large praseodymium (Pr) cation. The oxidation of the tetraki ...

Unconventional Spin Relaxation Involving Localized Vibrational Modes in Ho Single-Atom Magnets

Harald Brune, Stefano Rusponi, Marina Pivetta, Christian Wäckerlin, Jan Gui-Hyon Dreiser, Pietro Gambardella, Fabio Donati, Aparajita Singha, Romana Baltic, Katharina Johanna Diller

We investigate the spin relaxation of Ho single atom magnets on MgO/Ag(100) as a function of temperature and magnetic field. We find that the spin relaxation is thermally activated at low field, while it remains larger than 1000 s up to 30 K and 8 T. This ...

Colorimetry of Luminescent Lanthanide Complexes

Anne-Sophie Chauvin, Julien Alexandre Andres

Europium, terbium, dysprosium, and samarium are the main trivalent lanthanide ions emitting in the visible spectrum. In this work, the potential of these ions for colorimetric applications and colour reproduction was studied. The conversion of spectral dat ...

Effect of oxygen defects blocking barriers on gadolinium doped ceria (GDC) electro-chemo-mechanical properties

Paul Muralt, Robin Nigon, Ahsanul Kabir

Some oxygen defective metal oxides, such as cerium and bismuth oxides, have recently shown exceptional electrostrictive properties that are even superior to the best performing lead-based electrostrictors, e.g. lead-magnesium-niobates (PMN). Compared to pi ...

Doping and phase segregation in Mn2+- and Co2+-doped lead halide perovskites from Cs-133 and H-1 NMR relaxation enhancement

Michael Graetzel, Shaik Mohammed Zakeeruddin, David Lyndon Emsley, Dominik Józef Kubicki, Arthur César Pinon, Daniel Prochowicz, Albert Hofstetter, Gabriele Stevanato

Lead halide perovskites belong to a broad class of compounds with appealing optoelectronic and photovoltaic properties. Doping with transition metal ions such as Mn2+ and Co2+ has recently been reported to substantially enhance luminescence and stability o ...

Fast and Sensitive Detection of Paramagnetic Species Using Coupled Charge and Spin Dynamics in Strongly Fluorescent Nanodiamonds

Claudia Esther Avalos

Sensing of a few unpaired electron spins, such as in metal ions and radicals, is a useful but difficult task in nanoscale physics, biology, and chemistry. Single negatively charged nitrogen-vacancy (NV-) centers in diamond offer high sensitivity and spatia ...

Effects of co-doped barium cerate additive on morphology, conductivity and electrochemical properties of samarium doped ceria electrolyte for intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells

Yongpeng Liu, Meng Xia, Xinchao Wang, Jianing Li, Chiara Bonati, Xin Wang

The composite of samarium doped ceria (Sm0.2Ce0.8O2-delta, SDC) and co-doped barium cerate (BaZr0.1Ce0.7Y0.1Yb0.1O3-delta, BZCYYb) is prepared by mechanical mixing and investigated as electrolyte for intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells (IT-SOFC ...
