Density Functional Study of FeO 2 , FeO + 2 , and FeO − 2 ALFONSO T . GARCÍA - SOSA , MIGUEL CASTRO

The lowest energy structures of FeO2 were determined by means of density functional theory techniques as implemented in the program DGauss 3.0.1. The calculations performed were of the all-electron type using two levels of theory, namely the local spin density approximation with the use of the Vosko–Wilk–Nusair (VWN) functional and the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) in the form of the...

Equations of state of FeO and CaO

New shock-wave (Hugoniot) and release-adiabatic data for Feo.940 and CaO, to 230 and 175 GPa (2.3 and 1.75 Mbar) respectively, show that both oxides transform from their initial B1 (NaC1-type) structures at about 70 (* 10) GPa. CaO transforms to the B2 (CsC1-type) structure and FeO is inferred to do the same. Alternatively, FeO may undergo an electronic transition, but it probably does not disp...

Bacterial ferrous iron transport: the Feo system.

To maintain iron homeostasis within the cell, bacteria have evolved various types of iron acquisition systems. Ferric iron (Fe(3+)) is the dominant species in an oxygenated environment, while ferrous iron (Fe(2+)) is more abundant under anaerobic conditions or at low pH. For organisms that must combat oxygen limitation for their everyday survival, pathways for the uptake of ferrous iron are ess...

Vibrationally resolved photofragment spectroscopy of FeO

We report the first vibrationally resolved spectroscopic study of FeO. We observe the 0←0 and 1←0 bands of a S←X S transition at 28 648.7 and 29 311 cm. Under slightly modified source conditions the 1←1 transition is observed at 28 473 cm. In addition to establishing an upper limit D0 (Fe1–O!<342.7 kJ/mol, our results give the first experimental measurements of the vibrational frequencies in bo...
