Two $\mathrm{CaMn}B\mathrm{Sb}{\mathrm{O}}_{6}$ ($B=\mathrm{Cr}$ and Fe) high-pressure double perovskites are reported. Spins in $\mathrm{Ca}\mathrm{Mn}\mathrm{Cr}\mathrm{Sb}{\mathrm{O}}_{6}$ order below ${T}_{\mathrm{C}}=49\phantom{\rule{0.16em}{0ex}}\mathrm{K}$ into a collinear ferrimagnetic arrangement with spins the $xy$ plane. $\mathrm{Ca}\mathrm{Mn}\mathrm{Fe}\mathrm{Sb}{\mathrm{O}}_{6}$ ...

The syntheses, structures, and magnetic properties of compounds of formula [Fe(III)(5-Clsal(2)-trien)][Mn(II)Cr(III)(ox)(3)]·0.5(CH(3)NO(2)) (1), [Fe(III)(5-Brsal(2)-trien)][Mn(II)Cr(III)(ox)(3)] (2), and [In(III)(5-Clsal(2)-trien)][Mn(II)Cr(III)(ox)(3)] (3) are reported. The structure of the three compounds, which crystallize in the orthorhombic P2(1)2(1)2(1) chiral space group, presents a 3D ...

The insertion of a [Fe(sal2-trien)](+) complex cation into a 2D oxalate network in the presence of different solvents results in a family of hybrid magnets with coexistence of magnetic ordering and photoinduced spin-crossover (LIESST effect) in compounds [Fe(III)(sal2-trien)][Mn(II)Cr(III)(ox)3]·CHCl3 (1·CHCl3), [Fe(III)(sal2-trien)][Mn(II)Cr(III)(ox)3]·CHBr3 (1·CHBr3), and [Fe(III)(sal2-trien)...

Carbon has been proposed as a potential light element in planetary cores, included in models of planetary core formation, and found in meteoritic samples and minerals. To better understand the effect of C on the partitioning behavior of elements, solid/liquid partition coefficients (D = (solid metal)/(liquid metal)) were determined for 17 elements (As, Au, Co, Cr, Cu, Ga, Ge, Ir, Ni, Os, Pd, Pt...

The generalized stacking fault energy (GSFE) is a material property that can provide invaluable insights into describing nanoscale plasticity phenomena in crystalline materials. Lattice strains have been suggested to influence such phenomena. Here, the GSFE curves for sequential faulting pathways dual phase [face-centered cubic (fcc) and hexagonal close-packed (hcp)] ${\mathrm{Cr}}_{20}{\mathrm...

Ternary intermetallic A–B–C systems sometimes have unexpected behaviors. The present paper examines situations in which there is a tendency to simultaneously form the compounds ABx, ACx and BCx with the same crystal structure. This causes irregular shapes of the phase homogeneity domains and, from a structural point of view, a complete reversal of site occupancies for the B atom when crossing t...

Various pollutants (e.g. boron and hexavalent chromium) are introduced into the aquatic environment from a variety of industrial operations causing damages to environment and affecting human health. Boron in irrigation water is of particular interest because it can have beneficial or toxic effect on plants, depending on its concentration. Pollution of the environment with hexavalent chromium (C...

Abstract (Cr,Fe) 7 C 3 ternary carbides constitute the majority of eutectic in abrasion-resistant white cast irons. Density functional theory models have predicted these to a combination metallic, covalent and ionic bonding, proportions depending on carbide’s Cr:Fe ratio. However, experimental research validate predictions has been lacking. This study investigates characteristics as function ra...
