  2. 1. Structure and Dynamics in Transition Metal Perovskites — An Optical Spectroscopy Study

    Author : Johan Bielecki; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; multiferroics; colossal magnetoresistance; magnetism; proton-conduction; spin-state transition; structure; Ultrafast spectroscopy; high temperature superconductivity; dynamics; Raman;

    Abstract : Transition metal oxides with the perovskite structure exhibit a vast number of exotic properties due to the large number of competing degrees of freedom at the Fermi surface. Together with couplings between and correlations within these degrees of freedom, this class of materials is of high interest from both a practical and theoretical point of view. READ MORE

  4. 2. Electronic structure investigations of transition metal complexes through X-ray spectroscopy

    Author : Meiyuan Guo; Marcus Lundberg; Hélène Bolvin; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; transition metal complexes; x-ray spectroscopy; electronic structures; Kemi; Chemistry;

    Abstract : Catalysts based on the first-row (3d) transition metals are commonly seen in chemical and biological reactions. To understand the role of the transition metal in the catalyst, the element specific technique core level spectroscopy is used to probe the electronic structure and geometric properties centered around the metal site.
