Structure determination of gas-phase niobium and tantalum carbide nanocrystals via infrared spectroscopy.
Niobium and tantalum carbide clusters have been isolated in the gas phase and irradiated with intense tunable infrared (IR) light. Stable neutral clusters are selectively ionized and subsequently detected in a mass spectrometer. By tuning the IR frequency, infrared multiphoton absorption spectra are obtained for a whole range of clusters. These mass-selective IR spectra lead to insights into th...
متن کاملProbing the electronic and structural properties of the niobium trimer cluster and its mono- and dioxides: Nb3On- and Nb3On (n = 0-2).
We report a photoelectron spectroscopy and density functional theory (DFT) study on the electronic and structural properties of Nb(3)(-), Nb(3)O(-), Nb(3)O(2)(-), and the corresponding neutrals. Well-resolved photoelectron spectra are obtained for the anion clusters at different photon energies and are compared with DFT calculations to elucidate their structures and chemical bonding. We find th...
متن کاملNew synthesis of nanosized niobium oxides and lithium niobate particles and their characterization by XPS analysis.
This work presents a new synthesis of nano-sized lithium niobate particles by a low temperature three steps procedure. The complete protocol implies a LiH induced reduction of NbCl5 followed by in situ spontaneous oxidation into low valence niobium nano-oxides. These niobium oxides are exposed to air atmosphere leading to pure Nb2O5 formation. Finally, the stable Nb2O5 is converted into lithium...
متن کاملCompetition between linear and cyclic structures in monochromium carbide clusters CrCn- and CrCn (n = 2-8): a photoelectron spectroscopy and density functional study.
Photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) is combined with density functional theory (DFT) to study the monochromium carbide clusters CrCn- and CrCn (n = 2-8). Well-resolved PES spectra were obtained, yielding structural, electronic, and vibrational information about both the anionic and neutral clusters. Experimental evidence was observed for the coexistence of two isomers for CrC2-, CrC3-, CrC4-, and ...
