New Ni3TeO6-type (NTO) and double perovskite (DPv) polymorphs of Co3TeO6 are synthesised at pressures 15 GPa.

We performed laboratory experiments to study the photochemical evolution induced by long-UV irradiation of benzene ices in Titan's atmosphere. The aim this was investigate whether photo-processed could lead formation aerosols analogs those observed stratosphere. Prior that, spectroscopic properties amorphous and crystalline were studied as a function temperature, using infrared spectroscopy. UV...

We have measured thermoelectric properties of Ta2PdX6 (X=S, Se) around room temperature using single crystal samples. find that the power factor is relatively high from middle-low to temperatures, and notably Ta2PdSe6 shows largest among materials with an electrical conductivity 10-2 {\Omega}cm at 300 K. Ta2PdS6 will be a possible candidate for Peltier cooling material if lattice thermal reduce...

A giant barocaloric effect (BCE) in a molecular material Fe3(bntrz)6(tcnset)6 (FBT) is reported, where bntrz = 4-(benzyl)-1,2,4-triazole and tcnset 1,1,3,3-tetracyano-2-thioethylepropenide. The crystal structure of FBT contains trinuclear transition metal complex that undergoes an abrupt spin-state switching between the state which all three FeII centers are high-spin (S 2) electronic configura...
