    Notes: Summary The properties and preliminar applications of porous-silicon (p-Si) microcavities are here reported. These structures are based on a planar resonator formed by two narrow-band high-reflectance distributed Bragg reflectors separated by a thin active optical layer, all of which are made of p-Si layers. The accurate control of the electrochemical dissolution of Si lets us realize p-Si multilayers with the desired refractive indices sequence. Large improvements of the emission properties of p-Si microcavities with respect to standard p-Si samples are observed: 1) increased emission intensity, 2) spectral narrowing of the emission band, and 3) high directionality in the emission pattern. Resonant-cavity light-emitting diodes with higher efficiencies and stabilities with respect to standard p-Si/metal devices are demonstrated. Reflectivity changes due to absorption saturation have been observed.

    Notes: Summary We present a theoretical study of two infinite wires of Si with a different lateral size. The analysis is based on the linear muffin tin orbitals method in the atomic sphere approximation (LMTO-ASA). We consider free, partially and totally H-covered [001] Si quantum wires with rectangular cross-section. The results of this investigation prove the quantum wire nature of porous Si and interpret many of its physical features. In particular we show thata) as expected quantum confinement originates the opening of the LDA gap;b) the gap opening effect is asymmetric: 1/3 of the widening is in the valence band, while 2/3 in the conduction band;c) the near band gap states originate from Si atoms located at the center of the wire;d) the confinement is enhanced in the case of free surfaces;e) the imaginary part of the dielectric function shows a low-energy side structure strongly anisotropic, identified as responsible of the luminescence transition;f) the presence of dangling bonds destroys the luminescence properties;g) in spite of featurec), all Si atoms are collectively involved in the luminescence transition;h) the shift detected by the Si L2, 3VV Auger signal is due to H-interaction effect and is not a measure of the quantum confinement effect;i) the Si atoms probed by the Si L2, 3VV Auger are bonded with H and H2.

    Notes: Summary In this work we demonstrate that efficient light emission at 1.54 μm can be achieved when Er ions are incorporated into crystalline Si or in heavily oxygen-doped amorphous and polycrystalline Si films (SIPOS). We have found that temperature quenching of photo- and electroluminescence, which is the major limitation towards the achievement of room temperature luminescence, can be strongly reduced by codoping these films with oxygen. This impurity is already present in as-prepared SIPOS and it is introduced by ion-implantation in crystalline Si. Er luminescence is obtained under both optical and electrical excitation and we demonstrate that excitation occurs through a carrier-mediated process. Electrical excitation is obtained by incorporating Er in properly designed device structures. It is found that this excitation can occur both through the recombination of hole-electron pairs and through impact excitation of the Er ions by hot electrons. These two mechanisms have different efficiencies and impact excitation is shown to prevail at room temperature. These data are presented and possible future developments are discussed.

    Notes: Summary The striking optical properties of porous silicon (PS) show a twofold aspect typical of an ordered and a disordered material, respectively. Raman, electron microscopy, and resonant photoluminescence studies indicate that the light emission originates from crystalline regions. On the contrary, several features, like the non-exponential decay of photoluminescence (PL), the broad emission spectrum, the photoluminescence fatigue under light exposure etc. are typical of a disordered material and reminiscent of similar effects founde.g. in amorphous semiconductors. These twoapparently conflicting aspects have for a long time hindered the understanding of the basic light emission mechanism. In this paper we report new optical data showing that disorder in porous silicon leads to strong carrier localisation. Light emission in PS is suggested to occur through transitions involving localized states.

    Notes: Summary Porous silicon is an attractive material for silicon optoelectronics. The great advantage of porous silicon lies on the simple way of production which makes silicon nanostructures easily available. After several papers have been published on this topic, we are able to identify some disadvantages connected to the porous nature of the material and to the method of fabrication. Other dry processes can be used to produce Si nanostructures. In this paper we present a method fully compatible with the standard semiconductor technology. The optical and structural properties of the nanocrystalline films so far obtained are presented, together with some promising results indicating good electrical properties.

    Notes: Summary We report room temperature time-resolved photoluminescence (PL) and temperature dependence of continuous wave (cw) PL studies of high fluence (from 3·1016 to 3·1017 cm−2) Si+-implanted thermal SiO2 layers after annealing at high temperature (T=1000°C). Such measurements were related to TEM analysis of samples. Nancocrystals were observed at TEM only a samples implanted at higher fluence. In these samples a near infrared PL signal peaked at approximately 1.5 eV with decay time of about 100 μs is present. Besides, in all samples a light emission is present in the green region of the spectrum. The intensity of the emission shows large variations with ion fluence, and is characterized by 0.4, 2 and 7 ns decay times.

    Notes: Summary The high-energy heavy-ion irradiation of magnetic materials induces not only amorphous matter in the ion tracks but also improvement or even creation of new magnetic properties in a stressed shell surrounding the track core. Two examples are presented in this paper: magnetization creation in the spinel ZnFe2O4 after Kr, Xe and Pb irradiations and trapping of magnetic domains in another spinel, the magnetite Fe3O4, after lead irradiation.

    Notes: Summary In the present work we report an investigation on cultures of the human osteosarcoma cell line «MG-63» and the human osteoblastic cell line «HOBIT». We have examined the combined effects of hematin and 14.4keV gamma-radiation from a Mössbauer source. Preliminary results seem to confirm the trend already observed for the bone marrow system. Different degrees of growth inhibition were observed when hematin alone and hematin plus gamma-rays were administered to the cultures. It was previously found that hematin has no toxic effects on normal cells up to a concentration of 10−4 M, but the same concentration produces various degrees of inhibition on cultures of tumor cells. While no significant effect could be attributed to irradiation alone, hematin plus irradiations show a larger inhibition than that expected for pure additive effects.

    Notes: Summary The phonon energy spectra of a polycrystalline α-Fe foil were observed at 150 K and 300 K by using the nuclear resonant scattering of synchrotron radiation. In each spectrum, inelastic scattering was observed at both sides of the elastic peak. It was found that the ratio of the elastic-scattering component and the asymmetry of the intensity of the side bands observed at 150 K are larger than those observed at 300 K, respectively. The observed temperature-dependent spectra are in good agreement with the spectra calculated from the phonon energy distribution function. One of the advantageous features of this method is that the excitation of only a specific element is possible. Our results show that this method is applicable to the study of lattice dynamics and opens a new field of the nuclear resonant scattering spectroscopy.

    Notes: Summary Mössbauer spectroscopy is well known to be a very sensitive technique for studying small magnetic particles: small variations in the dynamic properties often manifest themselves as rather large changes in the spectra. However, anay detailed investigation is limited by the complexity of the phenomena and also by the line shape problem. As a result, variations in Mössbauer features between samples can always be interpreted in several ways. Utilization of other techniques to support the conclusions in indispensable. This will be emphasized in the case of γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles, the dynamic properties of which have been studied over a very wide time range using measurements of the zero-field-cooled magnetization, thermoremanent magnetization, and a.c. susceptibility at various frequencies, in addition to Mössbauer spectroscopy. After a survey of the basic laws of superparamagnetic relaxation and the effects of interparticle interactions, this paper will show how the approximations usually made for interpreting Mössbauer data can lead to misinterpretation of the phenomena.

    Notes: Summary The final product of the gamma-radiolysis of tetralithium iron (III) trioxalate chloride nonahydrate has been identified by Mössbauer spectroscopy as FeC2O4·2H2O. The radiolytic decomposition proceeds as a first-order process due to the original compound depletion and to the radiolytic stability of the ferrous compound. Chemical calibration of the relative peaks areas of the two iron species indicates that the correspondingf-factors ratio is unaffected by the radiolysis.

The Mössbauer spectra are electric-quadrupole doublets for all the specimens, indicating a non-magnetic character. The quadrupole splitting decreases with the increase in tellurium concentration. FeTe2 has also been studied in external magnetic fields up to 6T. These experiments show that the electric-field gradient in this alloy is negative and has an asymmetry parameter of η ≈0.7.

    Mössbauer studies related to the solid-state dynamics of C60 (1996)

    Notes: Summary C60 (Buckminsterfullerene) is isolated from organic solvents above 260 K as an f.c.c. solid with complete orientational disorder. The rotational dynamics are diffuse and isotropic, with a short (12 ps) correlation time at 300 K. Below 260 K, the solid forms in a simple cubic lattice withPa3 symmetry. The librational motion occurs by activated jumps with a correlation time of about 60 ns at 200 K. To gain further insight into the dynamics of C60, the compound C60Fe(CO)4 (I) (generously made available to us by A. Stephens and M. Green of Oxford University) has been studied by57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy. As expected, the resonance at 90 K consists of a doublet with an isomer shift (relative to metallic iron) of 0.034(1) mm s−1 and a quadrupole splitting of 1.607(5) mm s−1. There is no significant temperature-dependent, intensity asymmetry of the doublet. The temperature dependence of the effect magnitude is well fit by a linear regression over the range 85〈T〈210 K. To elucidate the relationship of these results to the effect of the C60 moiety in I, further lattice dynamical Mössbauer studies have been carried out on (maleic anhydride) Fe(CO)4 (II), one of the few isolatable tetracarbonyl complexes of iron. For (II), the quadrupole splitting is 1.371(5) mm s−1 at 90 K, and the temperature, dependence of the isomer shift is smaller than it is for (I), while the temperature dependence of the recoil-free fraction is significantly larger in (I) than in (II).

In the case of the tin thiospinel, a reduction process from SnIV to SnII is obvious till an amount of 8 inserted Li. For the iron thiospinel a migration of iron atoms from the octahedral to the tetrahedral sites is observed. In the region of higher lithium amounts (10– Li), in both spinels a further environment appears indicating an increase of covalency.

    Notes: Summary We report the observation of strong red- and blue-light emission in free-standing porous-silicon samples prepared fromn + substrates at different anodization current densities. The surface morphology of the free-standing samples has been analyzed by means of atomic-force microscopy. Upon excitation with nanosecond pulses at room temperature, both blue and red luminescence bands appear, peaked around 3.2 and 2.0 eV, respectively. An extensive study of the time-resolved behavior of the photoluminescence signal reveals different dynamical features for the two spectral regions. The observed long decay time (several μs) of the red band reflects the predominant effect of non-radiative processes and is consistent with models based on excition diffusion through the interconnected silicon nanocrystals (quantum dots) skeleton. The relatively fast blue-band decay time (≈400 ns) is shown to be related to non-radiative recombination through trap states at the silicon nanocrystal surface.

In this work optical and electrical properties of the resulting films are discussed as a function of process parameters. Porous-Si films have been shown to be able to reduce surface reflectance to 3% in 350–700 nm wavelength range and their application in anti-reflection coating of photovoltaic solar cells has been demonstrated, obtaining (10×10) cm2 multicrystalline Si solar cells with efficiency approaching 12% under standard AM 1.5 simulated sunlight.

    Notes: Summary A first structural investigation, carried out by transmission electron microscopy on porous-silicon samples fromp +, 〈111〉-oriented substrates is presented. The samples, which show intense visible room temperature luminescence, are composed by an interconnected network of crystalline nanostructures. Evidences of the pores propagation along the 〈100〉 directions are provided. The optical and morphological characteristics of the investigated samples are found to be much similar to those of samples coming fromp-type, non-degenerate, 〈100〉-oriented substrates rather than those obtained from 〈100〉 substrates with comparable resistivity. This striking effect is explained by invoking different etch-limiting mechanisms during pore formation. Their relative weights are proposed to depend on the crystallographic orientation of the silicon specimen subjected to etching.

    Notes: Summary Mössbauer measurements have been made on two kinds of spin-glass (SG) systems: one is the magnetically non-diluted mixed compound Fe0.5Mn0.5TiO3 with the SG-freezing temperatureT SG=21.5K, and the other is the diluted one Fe0.2Mg0.8TiO3 withT SG=6K. We have shown that the temperature variation of the Mössbauer spectrum of Fe0.2Mg0.8TiO3 above and around itsT SG is essentially different from that of Fe0.5Mn0.5TiO3: the former is typical of a cluster-glass and the latter of an ordinary spin-glass. The present work has clearly demonstrated that the Mössbauer spectroscopy is the most useful and unique technique to distinguish a cluster-glass from an ordinary spin-glass.

    Notes: Summary Sediment cores with different sub-bottom depths (I: 45 cm and II: 700 cm) from the Peru Basin have been investigated. From the depth profile of the relative amount of Fe(II) a redox zone is obtained which correlates with the organic carbon flux into the sediment (core I). Mössbauer parameters suggest that the iron in the sediments is mainly contained in clay minerals and to varying extent also in goethite.

    Notes: Summary We have studied the time dependence of Mössbauer absorption in a magnetically soft sample of Fe18Ni82 permalloy under the influence of a radio-frequency (r.f.) magnetic field. Absorption was measured as a function of the r.f. field phase at specific gamma-ray energies. We have shown that measuring the time dependence of absorption makes it possible to differentiate between purely magnetic and magnetoacoustic modulation mechanisms even in cases where clear distinction is not visible in conventional energy domain spectra.

    Notes: Summary Most previous studies of magnetism in various compounds under extreme conditions have been conducted over a wide pressure range at room temperature or over a wide range of cryogenic temperatures at pressures below 20 GPa (200 kbar). We present some of the most recent studies of magnetism over an extended range of temperatures and pressures far beyond 20 GPa,i.e. in regions of pressure-temperature (P-T) space where magnetism has been largely unexplored. Recent techniques have permitted investigations of magnetism in selected 3d transition metal compounds in regions ofP-T where physical properties may be drastically modified; related effects have often been seen in selected doping studies at ambient pressures. We present57Fe and129I Mössbauer isotope studies covering the range 300–4 K to sub-megabar pressures in compounds such as Sr2FeO4, LaFeO3 and FeI2, representative of a broad class of 3d transition metal compounds. At ambient pressure the electronic structure of the transition metal atom in these antiferromagnetic insulators extends from 3d 4 to 3d 6 and has a distinct influence on the pressure evolution of their magnetic properties. Mössbauer studies of these compounds are considered in conjunction with available structural and electrical transport data at pressure.

    Notes: Summary The synthesis of a new BCT Fe phase was performed in Fe/Ir(100) superlattices grown by MBE. Magnetic properties of57Fe/Ir(100) superlattices with 4 ml Fe and variable Ir thickness (2–30 Å) are investigated by57Fe conversion electron Mössbauer spectroscopy in the 4.2–300 K temperature range. Two spectral components are evidence, related, respectively, to Fe atoms involved in the central part of the iron layers and at the interface between iron and iridium layers. The appearance of a high magnetic hyperfine splitting in the iron BCT structure above a volume threshold of 12 Å3 is evidenced. Marked differences are observed between the mean magnetic properties and the local ones suggesting strong relaxation effects.

    Notes: Summary A thermodynamic calculation of the Fe−Cr−Ni phase diagram suggests that the composition 30 at.%Cr-5 at.%Ni is expected to be found inside the spinodal line, whereas 16 at.%Cr-5 at.%Ni is expected outside at 723 K. These two alloys have been thermally aged for time periods up to 40 minutes at 723K. A significant broadening of the magnetic-hyperfine-field distribution indicates that Fe-30 at.%Cr-5 at.%Ni undergoes typical spinodal decomposition in agreement with the calculation. Spinodal decomposition is distinguished from nucleation-growth by a detailed analysis of the magnetic-hyperfine-field distribution.

    Notes: Summary Man-made low-dimensional magnetic systems including surfaces, interfaces and multilayers, have attracted a great amount of attention in the past decade because, as expected, the lowered symmetry and coordination number offer a variety of opportunities for inducing new and exotic phenomena and so hold out the promise of new device applications. Local spin density functional (LSDF)ab initio electronic-structure calculations employing the full-potential-linearized augmented-plane-wave (FLAPW) method have played a key role in the development of this exciting field by not only providing a clearer understanding of the experimental observations but also predicting new systems with desired properties. One of the striking successes of theory in the last decade has been the calculation of hyperfine fields at surfaces and interfaces. Concurrently, several groups have followed the pioneering work of Korecki and Gradmann and have measured hyperfine fields at surfaces and interfaces. In this paper, we review new features of hyperfine-interaction investigations in man-made materials which emphasizes how the close interplay of theoretical determinations and experiment are essential because the hyperfine field is not proportional to the magnetization and so interpretations of experiment are totally dependent on theory.

    Notes: Summary Experimental results are presented on the study of Sb-H complexes in crystalline silicon, employing119Sb→119Sn source Mössbauer spectroscopy and a low-energy H implantation technique. In addition to a visible component, we observe a large decrease of the Mössbauer intensity associated with the trapping of hydrogen, even at low temperatures. This is interpreted as the formation of a component with a negligible recoilless fraction. The different Mössbauer components were studied as a function of H dose, H-implantation temperature and annealing temperature. The data show that the visible component is associated with the well-known SbH complex, whereas the invisible component is associated with the formation of SbH n (n≥2) complexes. We show that these complexes are in thermal equilibrium with a larger hydrogen reservoir (H 2 * ), which governs their thermal stability. No Sb-H complexes are observed inp-type Si after H-implantation, in agreement with the current belief that hydrogen has a deep donor level in the gap. The microscopic structure of the various Sb-H and Sn-H complexes was studied with first-principles calculations using the pseudopotentialdensity-functional approach. The structure of the Sb-H complex is found to be similar to the P-H complex, with the H in an antibonding site of a Si atom neighbouring the Sb impurity. For SbH2 three configurations are found with energies differing by less than ≈ 0.1 eV. We find that the reaction SbH+H≠SbH2 is exothermic. We argue that the SbH2 complexes are shallow donors, irrespective of the structure. Therefore, the formation of SbH2 may depassivate the sample.

    Notes: Summary In this paper we report on the frequency dependence of the AC conductivity of porous silicon in the range 10 Hz-100 kHz. Two types of testing devices have been fabricated on three different series of samples formed electrochemically using as a starting materialptype,n −-type andn +-type silicon substrates. For frequencies less than 20-40 kHz the conductivity is found to follow a sublinear frequency dependence. This behaviour is typical of a carrier transport mechanism determined by an anomalous diffusion process. At higher frequencies we find that surface states influence the transport mechanism. This suggests a double-channel transport mechanism: one related to porous-silicon “volume” properties and the other more connected to the “surface” itself.

In particular, the measurements on metal/ free-standing porous-silicon film/metal devices confirmed the result, already obtained, that the metal/poroussilicon interface plays a crucial role in the transport of any device. Four-contacts measurements on free-standing layers showed that the current linearly depends on the voltage and that the conduction process is thermally activated, the activtion energy depending on the porous silicon film production parameters. Finally, annealing experiments performed in order to improve the conduction of rectifiyng contacts, are described.

    Notes: Summary Point defects in annealed B2-phase FeAl samples in the range 47–53 at.% Fe were studied using57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy. Spectra were analyzed using local environment models according to which point defects in atomic shells close to probe atoms induce shifts in the nuclear monopole interaction. For well-annealed samples, better results were obtained assuming only the presence of FeAl antisite and VFe vacancy defects, and not of AlFe antisite defects. Monopole interactions of57Fe probes on the Fe and Al sublattices having no defects in the first two shells were about +0.27 and −0.03 mm s−1, respectively, with respect to Fe in alpha-Fe metal. The shifts induced by FeAl and VFe defects in the first shells of Fe probes on the Fe and Al sublattices were −0.15 and −0.24 mm s−1, respectively, and, in the second shells, +0.06 and +0.011 mm s−1. In addition to structural defects needed to accommodate deviations from stoichiometry, annealed samples were found to contain several percents of FeAl and VFe defects due to lattice disorder, with greater disorder in Fe-deficient alloys.

    Notes: Summary The Nuclear-Resonance Beamline at ESRF is dedicated to the excitation of nuclear levels by synchrotron radiation. The source of radiation and optical elements are optimized to provide an intense, highly monochromatic, collimated and stable X-ray beam of small cross-section at the Mössbauer transition energies between 6 keV and 30 keV. The set-up of the beamline allows to perform studies in diffraction, small-angle scattering, forward scattering and incoherent scattering. Equipment is available to maintain the sample at variable temperature and magnetic field. Fast detectors and timing electronics serve to separate the delayed nuclear scattering from the «prompt» electronic scattering and to measure the time spectra of nuclear radiation with sub-nanosecond resolution. The general layout and the parameters of the beamline are reported. Typical domains of applications are discussed and illustrated by first experimental results.

    Notes: Summary A self-consistent description of the EPR spectra and of the Mössbauer spectra of the natural superoxide dismutase fromPropionibacterium shermanii with ferric iron as an active centre is presented. The spectra were measured atpH 6.5, 7.8 and 9.4. The theoretical approach is based on the use of the complete crystal field Hamiltonian for the high-spin ferric complexes with due regard for the terms of the fourth power of the electronic spin. It is shown that a SOD molecule can exist in two conformations. The low-pH conformation has predominantly trigonal symmetry, while the high-pH conformation has the symmetry close to the «extreme rhombic». This interpretation is in full agreement with EXAFS structural data.

    Notes: Summary The composition of differently prepared Langmuir-Blodgett multilayers of ferric arachidate has been investigated by means of absorption Mössbauer spectroscopy and heavy-ion-induced mass spectrometry. We found that the iron concentration in qualitatively good films is 3.5 times higher than the stoichiometric value. Antiferromagnetic ordering in this two-dimensional model substance can be observed when the Fe−Fe distance in the layers is about 0.3 nm or below. The area density of the iron atoms in the planes decreases with decreasingpH values of the subphase which also leads to a disappearance of the long-range magnetic ordering and to a decrease of the Debye temperature of the films which is linearly dependent on the iron concentration in the films.

    Notes: Summary The use of synchrotron radiation to excite low-lying nuclear resonances is a rapidly developing field showing great promise for hyperfine spectroscopy, phonon spectroscopy and kinetic studies, crystallography, and fundamental physics experiments. Recent technical advances in synchrotron sources, optics, and fast detectors have drastically increased signal rates and expanded the range of samples that can be studied. A typical experiment today uses a high-brightness synchrotron source having X-ray pulses well-separated in time, a meV-bandpass monochromator using perfect crystals of silicon or germanium, a sample containing resonant nuclei, and an avalanche photodiode timing detector. Both coherent and incoherent scattering can be observed; the coherent scattering is used for hyperfine spectroscopy and studies of diffraction interference phenomena, and the incoherent-scattering signal promises to be very useful for phonon spectroscopy and other studies of excitations in condensed systems. At this point seven nuclear isotopes have been used to resonantly scatter synchrotron radiation, but the number is rapidly increasing.

    Notes: Summary Magnetic properties of Fe nitrides have been re-examined by57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy. Hyperfine magnetic fields for α″-Fe16N2 are 30, 31 and 39T at 298K, but the averaged hyperfine field is 33T and nearly equal to the value of pure α-Fe. σ-Fe2 N is an antiferromagnet below 9K having a small magnetic moment less than 0.1 μB, although γ′-Fe4N and ε-Fe3–2N are ferromagnets. ZnS-type FeN is non-magnetic at 4.2K. Mössbauer spectra obtained from NaCl-type FeN are complex and some Fe atoms in this nitride show a surprisingly large hyperfine magnetic field of 49T.

    Notes: Summary Iron particles, encapsulated by graphite layers, were produced by means of the Kratschmer arc discharge method in an iron pentacarbonyl atmosphere. The Mössbauer effect is dominated by the vibration of the particles as a whole. Superparamegnetism is dominant for iron oxide particles. No endohedral iron fullerenes were observed, contrary to a previous report.

    Notes: Summary Dilute57Fe Mössbauer-spectroscopy studies of RMn2X2 (X=Si and/or Ge, R=La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu and Gd) at 4.2 to 650 K yield the following results: Fe in RMn2X2 does not carry a magnetic moment. It reveals the magnetic order in the Mn and R sublattices through transferred hyperfine fields (∼100 kOe). The compounds LaMn2Si2, LaMn2Ge2, CeMn2Ge2, PrMn2Ge2, NdMn2Ge2 and SmMn2Ge2, known to be ferromagnets withT c=300–350 K, are antiferromagnetically ordered above their correspondingT c. TherT N values extend from 385 K (SmMn2Ge2) to 470 K (LaMn2Si2). At the ferromagnetic-antiferromagnetic phase transition, a sharp reorientation of the Mn magnetic moments relative to the crystalline axes occurs. In RMn2Si2−x Ge x with intermediatex values, the Ge is much more dominant in determining the magnetic properties of the Mn sublattice. While PrMn2Si2 is an antiferromagnet (T N=365 K) and PrMn2Ge2 is a ferromagnetantiferromagnet (T c=328 K,T N=415 K), we find that in PrMn2SiGe, the magnetic behaviour is similar to that in pure PrMn2Ge2,T c=305 K andT N=395 K.

    Notes: Summary Dynamic properties of ultrafine clusters of γ-Fe2O3 (ferric oxide, FO) were studied by Mössbauer spectroscopy and by thermodynamic analysis. The data obtained for FO clusters allowed the conclusion that dynamic properties of clusters as well as the decrease of melting point and the appearance of a gap between freezing and melting points depend on intracluster atomic mobility. Intracluster atomic mobility in FO clusters was shown to increase by the action of surfactants which decrease intercluster interactions. The increase in intracluster atomic mobility was suggested to proceed via formation of a solid-liquid state.

    Notes: Summary We have shown through Mössbauer spectroscopy that the electric field gradient (EFG), associated with an atomic defect, is sensitive to the bending of ultrathin Si crystals. The changes in the EFG depend on the bending direction. A direct application is the derivation of the orientation of defects that are located in the crystal’s surface region. We have used this observation for determining the configuration of Co dimers in Si. Based on the bending experiments, the pair axis is found to point in the 〈110〉 direction with respect to the host lattice.

    Notes: Summary Surface chemical states of57Co2+ and119Sb5+ ions adsorbed on γ-Fe2O3 and NiFe2O4 were studied in the presence of the aqueous phase using the magnetic interaction between the substrates and57Fe2+ or119Sn4+ arising from the adsorbed species. Two chemical forms were observed for the57Co2+ adsorbed on γ-Fe2O3; one giving a peak in the high-field region and another giving a broad distribution in the lower fields, which were attributed to57Co2+ at surfaceB sites of the spinel structure of γ-Fe2O3 and57Co2+ species weakly bonded to the substrate, respectively. In case of the NiFe2O4 substrate, the latter species was dominant and was converted to the former by heating. Most of the119Sb5+ ions adsorbed on the γ-Fe2O3 and NiFe2O4 particles were found to have a certain magnetic interaction with the magnetically ordered ions of the substrates.

    Notes: Summary A series of ultrathin Fe/Pt multilayers, prepared by magnetron sputtering, were studied by CEMS and transmission MS. The Fe-layer thickness varied from 3 to 12.5 Å and that of Pt from 5 Å to 39 Å. The 3 Å/9 Å Pt sample displays magnetic hyperfine structure at RT, while the 3 Fe/19 Pt sample is paramagnetic at RT, demonstrating the effect of interlayer interaction. Both samples display out-of-plane magnetic anisotropy with 39° angle with respect to the vertical for the former and nearly 0° angle for the latter. The analysis of the spectra of samples with thickness larger than one monolayer of Fe is done with components assigned to individual Fe monolayers. In all these cases a component appears with a hyperfine field larger by ∼ 10% at RT and 17% at L.He than the corresponding values of α-Fe. This component is attributed to the first monolayer below the Fe/Pt interface in accordance with similar results in the Fe/Pd system and with theoretical predictions.

    Notes: Summary The characterization of the corrosion products formed on an57Fe film onto a low alloy steel disc after 4 h and 8 h exposure to an artificially SO2-polluted atmosphere has been carried out by ICEMS/DCEMS. The corrosion products found are FeSO3·3H2O, FeSO4·nH2O, a third unidentified Fe2+ species, an amorphous Fe3+ oxyhydroxide and a second Fe3+ species which could correspond to superparamagnetic α-FeOOH or ferrihydrite. Although the DCEM spectra recorded at different electron energies do not show dramatic differences in the relative concentrations with depth, the results suggest that FeSO3·3H2O is preferentially located in the inner part of the corrosion layer whilst the outer part is richer in FeSO4·nH2O and Fe3+ species.

    Notes: Summary This paper describes a preliminary investigation of the mechanisms of Fe(II) oxidation and storage of Fe(III) in the bacterioferritin ofEscherichia coli (EcBFR). Using Mössbauer spectroscopy to examine the initial oxidation of iron by EcBFR we have confirmed that this ferritin exhibits «ferroxidase» activity and have shown that dimeric and monomeric iron species are produced as intermediates. We compare the characteristics of ferroxidase activity in EcBFR with those of human H-chain ferritin (HuHF) and discuss the different Mössbauer parameters of their dimeric iron with reference to the structures of their di-metal sites. In addition, we present preliminary findings suggesting that after an initial «burst», the rate of oxidation is greatly reduced, possibly due to blockage of the ferroxidase centre by bound iron. A new component, not found in HuHF and probably representing a small cluster of Fe(III) atoms, is reported.

    Notes: Summary The classical model system poly-L-glutamic acid (poly-Glu), was investigated in a disordered coil state (atpH=7.0) and in helix state (atpH=2.0) by the RSMR technique. By considering that the coil state of poly-Glu models unfolded (random coil) state and α-helix state models the fluctuating secondary structure (during consequent folding of protein), a comparative analysis of the dynamical properties of poly-Glu in different states with the dynamical properties of different proteins in the native state (α-helical myoglobin and HSA, partially β-sheet lysozyme) and in intermediate (molten globule) state (α-lactalbumin) was performed. This comparison brings some unpredicted results: native α-helical proteins behave close to random coil, native partially β-sheet proteins behave close to fluctuating secondary structure (α-helix) and the dynamic behaviour of molten-globule state (partially β-sheet α-lactalbumin) is not different from the behaviour of lysozyme and much more rigid than that of native α-helical proteins.

    Notes: Summary Coordination compounds of transition metal ions with open-shell electron configurations may exhibit dynamic electronic-structure phenomena, depending on the nature of the coordinating ligand sphere. The change of spin state with temperature («thermal spin-crossover»), light-induced electron transfer processes leading to long-lived metastable charge and spin states (e.g., «LIESST» effect), are some of the fascinating electronic games encountered in transition metal compounds, which are presently under extensive study by chemists and physicists. Mössbauer spectroscopy plays a dominant role in the investigation of such phenomena in iron compounds, as will be demonstrated in this paper. This work will focus on selected examples of «thermal spin-crossover» in iron(II) complexes and switching between different spin states by irradiation with light of different wavelength (LIESST effect), demonstrating that Mössbauer spectroscopy besides other physical techniques proves to be a highly elegant tool for following the spin state conversion and the concomitant changes of molecular and crystal structure properties. Finally, Mössbauer emission spectroscopy, both time integral and time differential, has been employed to generate and identify long-lived excited spin states by making use of the nuclear disintegration of57Co as an intrinsic molecular light source (NIESST=nuclear decay-induced excited-spin-state trapping). Lifetime measurements by optical techniques on LIESST states and by time-differential Mössbauer coincidence spectroscopy on NIESST states prove that the relaxation pathways in the mechanisms for LIESST and NIESST are identical.
