The recent discovery of ferromagnetism above room temperature in low-temperature-processed MnO(2)-ZnO has generated significant interest. Using suitably designed bulk and thin-film studies, we demonstrate that the ferromagnetism in this system originates in a metastable phase rather than by carrier-induced interaction between separated Mn atoms in ZnO. The ferromagnetism persists up to approxim...

Cooling rates of 10 -3 K/yr. permit naturally occurring Mn-Zn ferrites (franklinltes) to be in thermodynamic equilibrium at ambient temperatures with respect to both electrostatic and elastic energies. The elastic strain energy resulting from the occupancy of the A sites by ions of differing sizes is minimized by clustering of.Mn and Zn in different regions of a D/ crystal. Using Fe NGR, these ...

The present study aims to identify the impact of polluted aquatic body i.e. River Hindon on two selected riparian flora i.e. Azadirachta indica and Acacia nilotica. During the course of study the average concentration of different metals in river water was found as Iron (Fe) 11.27ppm±3.50, Manganese (Mn) 4.00ppm±1.26, Cadmium (Cd) 0.08ppm±0.07, Nickel (Ni) 0.63ppm±0.17 and Zinc (Zn) 1.46ppm±0.3...

In the present investigation flocculation of dissolved Cu, Zn, Pb, Ni and Mn in a series of mixtures with salinities ranging from 1.5 to 9.5% during mixing of Talar river water with the Caspian Sea water was studied. The flocculation trend of Zn (87.22%) >Mn (45.31%) >Pb (39.09%) >Cu (36.58%)>Ni (12.70%) indicates that Cu, Zn, Pb and Mn have non-conservative behavior and Ni has relatively conse...

Concentrations and bioconcentration potential of nine elements (Ca, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Na, P, and Zn) in ten species of wild edible Boletus and the corresponding underlying soils were analyzed. The analyses were performed using inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrophotometer. Boletus showed relative abundant contents of P, K, Fe, Mg, Ca, and Na and less of Zn, Cu, and Mn. Caps comp...

Binary and ternary separations of heavy metals, e.g. Zn–Bi, Mn–Pb, Cd–Pb, Mn–Bi–Mo, and Cr–Pb–Bi on columns of titanium(IV) tungstosilicate and Zn–Ni, Mo–Pb, Hg–Pb, Zn–Cr–Bi, and Zn–Ni–Bi on titanium(IV) tungstophosphate, have been demonstrated. The adsorption and elution of important metal ions such as Mo, Al, and As on titanium(IV) tungstosilicate and Hg, Fe, and Cr on titanium(IV) tungstopho...

A growth experiment with 108 lambs (breed: German Merino Landsheep) was carried out to examine the effect of gender, body weight (BW) and feeding intensity on the deposition of Fe, Zn, Cu and Mn in the empty body (whole animal minus contents of the gastrointestinal tract and bladder). The lambs (50% female and 50% male animals) were fed at three feeding levels ('low', 'medium' and 'high' by var...

in order to study concentrations of soil micro and heavy metal elements in some saffron planting regions of birjand province, an experiment was performed as factorial layout based on a completely randomized block design with three replications at year 2013. treatments were three field ages (annual, triennial and quinquennial) and five saffron regions including aryan shahr, hosseinabad, khosef, ...
