A series of core-shell type nanoparticle samples of MnxZn1-xFe2O4 were prepared by auto-combustion technique with x=0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 1.0. Subsequent to the structural and electrical property investigation the samples were ...

Germanate glass has been synthesised keeping Al2O3 fixed at 10mol percent with Neodymium oxide and Praseodymium oxide varying from 5 mol percent to 10 mol percent. The effect of the rare-earth inclusion on the structure ...

We investigate zero temperature and finite temperature properties of the Bose Hubbard Model in the hard core limit using Random Phase Approximation (RPA) and Cluster Mean Field Theory (CMFT). We show that our RPA calculations ...

A new red-emitting long-lasting phosphorescence (LLP) material useful as biomarker for small animal in vivo imaging is presented. X-ray irradiated MgGa(2)O(4):Cr3+ is shown to be a suitable persistent phosphor emitting in ...

We combine first-principles calculations with EXAFS studies to investigate the origin of high oxygen storage capacity in ceria-zirconia solid solution, prepared by solution combustion method. We find that nanocrystalline ...

Dielectric constant epsilon' and dielectric loss epsilon" were measured in the frequency range of 500 Hz-3 MHz from room temperature (RT) to 350 degrees C for CoWO sub(4) and CoWO sub(4)/PbWO sub(4) nanocomposites sintered ...

We report results of the first studies on the thermoelectric power (TEP) of the magnetic heusler alloy Ni(2.19)Mn(0.81)Ga. We explain the observed temperature dependence of the TEP in terms of the crystal field splitting ...

Nanoparticles of ferrite materials comprising the metal ions of Manganese and Zinc were chemically synthesized by co-precipitation method. The designated ferrite X- ray diffraction peaks and characteristic ferrite absorption ...

CaMgSi(2)O(6):Mn diopsides are used for in vivo long-lasting phosphorescence (LLP) imaging. Trapping defects involved in the LLP mechanism were investigated. On annealing Mn-doped diopsides at 1100 degrees C in an Ar-H-2 ...

Temperature-dependent synchrotron x-ray diffraction and extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) studies were performed to understand the role of structural characteristics in driving the magnetoelectric multiferroic ...
