Magnetism of F centers; indication of an antiferromagnetic phase transition in potassium-electro-sodalite*
نویسنده
چکیده
Temperature-dependent EPR data of potassium-electro-sodalite (PES), K8[Al6Si6O24](e-)2, are consistent with the occurrence of an antiferromagnetic phase transition at 71±2 K. PES is a Mott insulator which contains an unpaired electron in every sodalite cage. The same transition in sodium-electro-sodalite occurs at a considerably lower temperature (42 K), indicating that the exchange interaction among localized electrons is stronger in PES. PES is obtained by the inclusion of one potassium atom in every cage of potassium sodalite. The 27 Al MAS NMR resonance of PES is shifted downfield in respect to diamagnetic potassium-sodalite, K6[Al6Si6O24]. The NMR shift is due to unpaired electrons and is caused by hyperfine Fermi contact interaction.

Neutron scattering is proved to be a vital probe in unveiling the magnetic properties of high temperature superconductors (HTSC). Detailed information about the energy and momentum dependence of the magnetic dynamics of HTSC have been obtained directly by this technique. Over the past decade by improving the crystal growth methods, large and high quality single crystals of HTSC, which are ess...
متن کاملSynthesis of nano-porous molecular sieve from some natural materials
Zeolites due to their structures can be used as molecular sieves for purification of materials and solutions. Zeolites with PHI and SOD structure are so common and applicable for this purpose. Hydroxy sodalite and phillipsite are the more abundant members of zeolites which display good selectivity for very small molecules and some ions such as Sr, Pb, Zn, Cu and Rb. There is not any pure natura...
متن کاملA thermodynamic framework for a system with itinerant-electron magnetism
Thermodynamic fluctuation among many electronic states in systems with ‘itinerant-electron’ magnetism is addressed with a first-principles formulation of the Helmholtz energy. The Ce γ –α phase transition is used as an illustrative case. The kB ln(2J + 1) form for the magnetic entropy that is commonly found in the literature is replaced with an expression that is derived from configurational fl...

متن کاملDensity Functional Studies on Crystal Structure and electronic properties of Potassium Alanate as a candidate for Hydrogen storage
Potassium Alanate is one of the goal candidates for hydrogen storage during past decades. In this report, initially the Density Functional Theory was applied to simulate the electronic and structural characteristic of the experimentally known KAlH4 complex hydride. The relaxation of unit cell parameters and atomic positions was performed until the total residual force reduced less than 0.001ev ...
