We investigated the effect of both lanthanum and strontium deficiencies upon the structural, magnetic and magnetocaloric properties in La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 mixed-valence manganite. Lacunar powder oxides La-0.7 x square x Sr0.3MnO3 and La-0.7 x square x Sr0.3MnO3 (x= 0, 0.01, 0.02 and 0.05), where square is a vacancy, were prepared by the sol-gel technique by sintering at 750 degrees C and 850 degrees C. Our synthetized samples crystallize in a rhomboedrically distorted perovskite structure with space group R-3C. Both these series of samples are ferromagnets and undergo second order paramagnetic-ferromagnetic transition with decreasing temperature. Magnetization measurements versus magnetic applied field at low temperature confirm the ferromagnetic behavior of our lacunars samples. Curie temperature decrease with increasing vacancy content for strontitum-deficient samples, while, its shows a maximum at about x = 0.01 (T-c = 358 K) followed by a minimum for x = 0.03 (T-c = 336 K) for lanthanum- deficient compounds. All compounds undergo a large magnetocaloric effect and have consequently potential applications in magnetic refrigeration domain around room temperature. (C) 2018 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Critical behaviour and renormalization of magnetic entropy change in La0.65Nd0.05Ba0.3Mn1-xCrxO3 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.15) ceramics

Saoussen Mahjoub, Rafik M'nassri, Mohamed Baazaoui, Muaffaq M. Nofal, Elham M. A. Dannoun, E. K. Hlil, Mohamed Oumezzine

Summary: The critical behavior and magnetic field dependence of magnetic entropy changes for ferromagnetic La0.65Nd0.05Ba0.3Mn1-xCrxO3 (0 <= x <= 0.15) ceramics were investigated. The results show that Curie temperature, magnetic entropy changes, and critical exponents are influenced by Cr doping. The field dependence of magnetic entropy changes confirms a second-order magnetic transition.

Thermomagnetic properties and critical behaviour studies in the ferromagnetic-Paramagnetic phase transition in Pr0.6Sr0.35Ag0.05MnO3 and Pr0.6Sr0.3Ag0.1MnO3 ceramics

R. Thaljaoui, Muaffaq M. Nofal, R. M'nassri

Summary: Magnetic measurements identified the magnetic ordering and critical exponents of Pr0.6Sr0.35Ag0.05MnO3 (x = 0.05) and Pr0.6Sr0.3Ag0.1MnO3 (x = 0.1) ceramics, showing a second-order phase transition and potential as candidates for magnetic refrigeration. The determined exponents follow a mean-field model with long-range ferromagnetic interaction, and the reliability was tested using the universal scaling hypothesis. Temperature variation in effective exponents beta eff and gamma eff resemble those for disordered ferromagnetic materials, and universal curves for Delta SM(T) were constructed based on critical exponents.

Universal behaviour and good magnetocaloric performances of low-cost Co-substituted Mn5Ge3-based alloys exhibiting magnetic transitions near room temperature

R. M'nassri, Elham M. A. Dannoun, Muaffaq M. Nofal

Summary: In this work, the magnetic entropy changes (Delta S) of Mn5-xCoxGe3 intermetallic compounds were investigated as magnetocaloric materials near room temperature. The characteristic of second-order transition was distinguished using a quantitative criterion derived from the local exponent (N) and the phenomenological universal behavior. The universal curves of the Mn5-xCoxGe3 samples collapse onto a single curve, indicating a universal behavior of the system.

High Boron Content Enhances Bioactive Glass Biodegradation

Amina Gharbi, Hassane Oudadesse, Hafedh el Feki, Wissem Cheikhrouhou-Koubaa, Xanthippi Chatzistavrou, Julietta Rau, Jyrki Heinamaki, Iulian Antoniac, Nureddin Ashammakhi, Nabil Derbel

Summary: In this work, derived Hench bioactive glass containing boron (BaG-B-x) was fabricated using the sol-gel process. A high boron content of 20 wt.% in BaG was achieved for the first time, while maintaining bioactivity and biodegradability. The BaG-B-x showed enhanced bioactivity and chemical stability, with improved crystallization rate and quality of the newly formed hydroxyapatite (HAp) layer on the surface. The presence of boron also accelerated the degradation of BaGs in simulated body fluid (SBF). Therefore, BaG-B-x can be a potential material for bone regeneration, especially in children.

Complexes of the noble-gas atoms with borazine: Theoretical insights into structure, stability, and bonding character

Stefano Borocci, Armando Camerlingo, Felice Grandinetti, Maria Rutigliano, Nico Sanna

Summary: The complexes of He, Ne, Ar, Kr, and Xe with B3N3H6 were investigated using MP2, CCSD(T), and SAPT ab initio methods. The complexes can be described as mono-, di-, and tri-coordinated to the N atoms, with stability following the order N-mono < N-di < N-tri. The interactions are dominated by dispersion and the binding energies are within the range of 1 or 2 kcal mol(-1). The results were compared with a recent DFT study on larger BN sheets complexes [Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. 24 (2022) 2554-2566.].

Investigation of Ce-based buffer layers on electrochemical performance of YSZ-based symmetric solid oxide fuel cells

Chanchan Wang, Quan Yang, Yanzhi Ding, Xiaoyong Lu, Dong Tian

Summary: It has been found that the introduction of buffer layers improves the electrical performance of solid oxide fuel cells (SSOFCs). In this study, varying ratios of Gd-doped CeO2 were used as buffer layers in YSZ-based SSOFCs. The results demonstrate that the performance of SSOFCs is enhanced when a buffer layer is added, with the highest performance achieved using Ce0.8Gd0.2O2-delta (GDC20) as the buffer layer. This suggests that the use of GDC series buffer layers is an attractive strategy to optimize performance loss due to electrolyte-electrode interactions.

Summary: This study investigates the influence of aspect ratio and quantum confinement on the single-photon and two-photon absorption cross-section of perovskite CsPbI3 nanorods. Experimental data shows that CsPbI3 nanorods have an extremely high two-photon absorption cross-section, significantly surpassing organic chromophores and other CsPbBr3 nanocrystals. Moreover, adjusting the aspect ratio can significantly enhance the absorption ability. Additionally, the study also reveals a moderate quantum confinement effect on the single-photon and two-photon absorption cross-section of the nanorods.
