In the light of the finding that carbon nanotubes get functionalized on reaction with acid and other oxidizing agents the structures and shapes of nanotube derivatives resulting front possible reaction between functionalized ...

Vapor-phase pyrolysis of Fe(CO)(5) in the presence of another carbon source such as CO or Ca He yields iron-filled or hollow nanotubes depending on the relative concentration of the carbon source. Essentially single-walled ...

Grain size has marked effects on charge-ordering and other properties of Nd(0.5)A(0.5)MnO(3) (A=Ca or Sr). Thus, the anti-ferromagnetic (AFM) transition in Nd0.5Ca0.5MnO3 is observed distinctly only in samples sintered at ...

Substitution of Mn3+ in Nd0.5Sr0.5MnO3 by Ni3+ and Co3+ upto 5% destroys the charge-ordered (CO) state and renders the material ferromagnetic and metallic. In Nd0.5Ca0.5MnO3, the charge-ordering transition temperature, ...

High temperature reaction calorimetry using molten lead berate as solvent has been used to study the thermochemistry of NdMnO3, YMnO3, La1-xSrxMnO3 (with 0 < x < 0.5), and Ln(0.5)Ca(0.5)MnO(3) (with Ln = La, Nd, Y), The ...

Some materials exhibit large changes in electrical resistance in the presence of a magnetic field, and this change can be used in applications from sensor technology to magnetic data storage. In their Perspective, Rao and ...

A three-dimensional metal selenate of the formula [C2N2H10][La-2(SeO4)(4)(H2O)(3)].H2O, comprising La2SC4 building units and possessing 12-membered channels, has been prepared in an acidic medium under hydrothermal conditions.

Some of the Multiferroics [H. Schmid, Ferroelectrics 162 (1994) 317] form a rare class of materials that exhibit magneto–electric coupling arising from the coexistence of ferromagnetism and ferroelectricity, with potential ...

As-synthesized single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) are mixtures of semiconducting and metallic species and separation of the two is of crucial importance for many applications. In this article, the methods employed for ...
