- Growth of (Perylene)(2) [PD(MNT)(2)] crystalsPublication . Afonso, M. L.; Silva, R. A. L.; Matos, Manuel; Lopes, E. B.; Coutinho, J. T.; Pereira, L. C. J.; Henriques, R. T.; Almeida, M.The conditions for [pd(mnt)(2)]he growth of [pd(mnt)(2)]Perylene) [pd(mnt)(2)] [Pd(mnt) [pd(mnt)(2)]] crystals either by chemical oxidation and electrochemical routes are [pd(mnt)(2)]escribed. The electrocrystallisation is limited by close [pd(mnt)(2)]roximity of [pd(mnt)(2)]he oxidation [pd(mnt)(2)]otentials of [pd(mnt)(2)]he [pd(mnt)(2)]erylene [pd(mnt)(2)]onor and [Pd(mnt) [pd(mnt)(2)]] - anion, and [pd(mnt)(2)]epending on [pd(mnt)(2)]he experimental conditions [pd(mnt)(2)]ifferent [pd(mnt)(2)]orphologies can be obtained. [pd(mnt)(2)]Per) [pd(mnt)(2)] [Pd(mnt) [pd(mnt)(2)]] crystals obtained by elecrocrystallisation were found [pd(mnt)(2)]o be [pd(mnt)(2)]ainly of [pd(mnt)(2)]he β-polymorph with [pd(mnt)(2)]roperties comparable [pd(mnt)(2)]o [pd(mnt)(2)]he Cu, Ni and Pt analogues [pd(mnt)(2)]reviously [pd(mnt)(2)]escribed at variance with [pd(mnt)(2)]hose obtained by chemical oxidation which are [pd(mnt)(2)]ainly of [pd(mnt)(2)]he α-polymorph.
- Magnetic properties of Co-doped TiO(2) anatase nanopowdersPublication . Pereira, L. C. J.; Nunes, M. R.; Monteiro, O. C.; Silvestre, António JorgeThis letter reports on the magnetic properties of Ti(1-x)Co(x)O(2) anatase phase nanopowders with different Co contents. It is shown that oxygen vacancies play an important role in promoting long-range ferromagnetic order in the material studied in addition to the transition-metal doping. Furthermore, the results allow ruling out the premise of a strict connection between Co clustering and the ferromagnetism observed in the Co:TiO(2) anatase system.
- Structural, electrical and magnetic studies of Co:SnO2 and (Co,Mo):SnO2 films prepared by pulsed laser depositionPublication . Dalui, S.; Rout, S.; Silvestre, António Jorge; Lavareda, G.; Pereira, L. C. J.; Brogueira, P.; Conde, O.Here we report on the structural, optical, electrical and magnetic properties of Co-doped and (Co,Mo)-codoped SnO2 thin films deposited on r-cut sapphire substrates by pulsed laser deposition. Substrate temperature during deposition was kept at 500 degrees C. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that the undoped and doped films are crystalline with predominant orientation along the [1 0 1] direction regardless of the doping concentration and doping element. Optical studies revealed that the presence of Mo reverts the blue shift trend observed for the Co-doped films. For the Co and Mo doping concentrations studied, the incorporation of Mo did not contribute to increase the conductivity of the films or to enhance the ferromagnetic order of the Co-doped films.
