Mackinawite,tetragonal FeS, has been synthesised by reacting iron with Na2S solutions. A Rietveld structure refinement of X-ray powder diffractipn data, recorded using X-rays monochromated from synchrotron radiationwith a wavelength of 0.6023 A, has been performed. The structure has been refined in the tetragonal sJ'.!lcegroup, P4/nmm, and has the following cell parameters: a = 3.6735(4), c = 5...

Vacuum-deposited CsBr needle plates doped with Eu2+ have been investigated with Q 34 GHz and W 95 GHz band electron paramagnetic resonance in a large temperature interval 4 K: room temperature . At low temperatures 35 K , two Eu-related centers were found with different symmetry tetragonal and orthorhombic , while in earlier studies at room temperature only one center was found with tetragonal ...

We investigate by angle-resolved photoemission the electronic structure of in situ grown tetragonal CuO, a synthetic quasi-two-dimensional edge-sharing cuprate. We show that, in spite of the very different nature of the copper oxide layers, with twice as many Cu in the CuO layers of tetragonal CuO as compared to the CuO(2) layers of the high-T(c) cuprates, the low-energy electronic excitations ...

Schreyer has proved that the graded Betti numbers of a canonical tetragonal curve are determined by two integers b1 and b2, associated to the curve through a certain geometric construction. In this article we prove that in the case of a smooth projective tetragonal curve on a toric surface, these integers have easy interpretations in terms of the Newton polygon of its defining Laurent polynomia...

Tungsten trioxide (WO3) nanobelts in tetragonal structure were grown on Si substrates by a hot-wall chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method without using catalysts. The products were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Raman spectroscopy, and photoluminescence (PL) spectrum. The width of the nanobelts is in the ran...

Propagation of flexural localized vibration modes along edges of anisotropic wedges is considered in the framework of the geometrical-acoustics approach. Its application allows for straightforward evaluation of the wedge-mode velocities in the general case of arbitrary elastic anisotropy. The velocities depend on the wedge apex angle and on the mode number in the same way as in the isotropic ca...

A reversible switching of the easy axis of magnetization for Ni on Cu(001) from in plane to out of plane is found by changing the partial pressure of hydrogen in the gas phase around the sample, allowing even for oscillations of the magnetization direction. A quantitative low-energy electron diffraction study of the diffracted intensity versus electron energy [I(E)] shows that the hydrogen-indu...
