The effect of La alloying on the crystalline characteristics, electrochemical capacity and activity of AB2 type Zr-Cr-Ni hydride electrodes was investigated. It was found that La alloying was able to shorten the activating process from 15 cycles of La-free alloy to 2 cycles, and that the main phase shifts from C14 to C15 by XRD analysis. It may be attributed to the modification of surface chemical states and change in internal microstructures. However, the cycling stability was also found to degrade severely for La-containing hydride electrode because of the collapse of its distorted lattice.

Explanations of the optical spectra and g factor for V3+ ions in ZnX (X = S, Se, Te) crystals

Physica B-Condensed Matter

This paper presents a cluster approach for the calculations of the absorption band positions and the g factor of d(2) tetrahedral cluster. In the approach, the different modifications of e and t(2) orbitals of d electrons and the contribution from the spin-orbit coupling of ligands to the EPR g factor due to the mixing of d(2) ions with the ligands are considered. The calculated band positions and g factor for ZnX : V3+ (X = S, Se, Te) crystals show good agreement with the observed values by using only two adjustable parameters. The contribution from the spin-orbit coupling of ligands to the g factor is discussed. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

INVESTIGATIONS ON THE g FACTORS AND THE SUPERHYPERFINE PARAMETERS FOR THE TETRAGONAL Pd(3+) CENTERS IN AgX (X = Cl, Br)

International Journal of Modern Physics B

The g factors and the superhyperfine parameters for the tetragonal Pd(3+) centers in AgX (X = Cl, Br) are theoretically investigated from the perturbation formulas of these parameters for a 4d(7) ion in tetragonally elongated octahedra In the calculations, the related molecular or coefficients and the unpaired spin densities of the ligands are determined quantitatively from the cluster approach in a uniform way. Both centers originate from substitutional Pd(3+) on Ag(+) site in AgX, with no charge compensator (silver vacancy) nearby. The [PdX(6)](3-) clusters suffer a relative elongation of 0.01 angstrom (or 0.06 angstrom) along [1 0 0] (or C(4)) axis for X = Cl (or Br) due to the Jahn-Teller effect The calculated g factors and the superhyperfine parameters based on the above Jahn-Teller elongations show good agreement with the experimental data.

Theoretical investigations of the g factors and the local structure for the trigonal Zr(3+) center in X-ray irradiated YSZ

Journal of Alloys and Compounds

The electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) g factors g(parallel to) and gperpendicular to and the local structure for the trigonal Zr(3+) center in X-ray irradiated yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) are theoretically investigated from the perturbation formulas of the g factors for a 4d(1) ion in trigonally distorted octahedra. Based on the studies, in this trigonal center (characterized as [ZrO(6)](9-) cluster associated with two oxygen vacancies V(o) along the [ 111] axis), the O(2-) ions in the ligand triangles are found to displace towards the neighbouring Vo by about 0.42 Angstrom due to the electrostatic attraction of the V(o). The above displacement is comparable with that (approximate to 0.36 Angstrom) obtained from neutron diffraction measurements and those (approximate to 0.24-0.37 Angstrom) based on the optical spectral analysis and crystal-field calculations in the previous works. Particularly, partial quenching of the spin-orbit (SO) coupling interaction (i.e., gamma(SO) approximate to 0.44) due to the dynamic Jahn-Teller effect (DJTE) and its influence on the g factors, which were ignored by the previous authors, are taken into account in the present work. The validity of the results is discussed. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Calculation of EPR parameters g factors for Ce3+ ion in YBa2Cu3O6+x superconductor

International Journal of Modern Physics B

The perturbation formulae of EPR parameters g factors g(x), g(y) and g(z) for the lowest Kramers doublet of 4f(1) ion in orthorhombic symmetry are established. In these formulae, the contributions of the covalency effects, the admixture between J = 7/2 and J = 5/2 states as well as the second-order perturbation (which is not considered in the previous works) via crystal-field and orbital angular momentum interactions are all included. According to these formulae, and by using the superposition model, the g-factors g., g(y) and g(z) for Ce3+ center in YBa2CU3O6+x superconductor are calculated. The results are discussed.

Investigations of the g factors for the orthorhombic Co2+ center in YBa2Cu2.7Co0.3O7-x at room temperature

Physica C-Superconductivity and Its Applications

The anisotropic g factors g(x), g(y) and g(z) for the orthorhombic Co2+ center on the Cu(l) site in YBa2Cu2.7CO0.3O7-x at room temperature are theoretically investigated from the perturbation formulae of the g factors for a 3d(7) ion having low spin (S = 1/2) under octahedra with orthorhombic distortion. In these formulae, the contributions to the g factors from the orthorhombic crystal-fields as well as the ligand orbitals and spin-orbit coupling are taken into account based on the cluster approach. This center may be attributed to Co2+ located in a moderately compressed oxygen octahedron with additional orthorhombic distortion. The significant decline (characterized by the reduction factor y approximate to 0.13) of the energy separations due to the Jahn-Teller effect is suggested, by analyzing the experimental g factors. The calculated g factors based on the above contributions show good agreement with the observed values. In addition, the pronounced decrease in the intensity and the remarkable nonlinear increase in the g, of Co2+ EPR spectra as the temperature is lowered from room temperature to 150 K are also mentioned, in view of the opening of the spin gap due to antiferromagnetic interactions.

Investigations on the EPR g factors for the six-coordianted Cu2+(1) site in YBa2Cu3O6+x

International Journal of Modern Physics B

The EPR g factors g(//) and g(perpendicular to) for the six-coordinated Cu2+(1) site in YBa2Cu3O6+x are theoretically investigated from the perturbation formulas for a 3d(9) ion in tetragonally elongated octahedra. The related tetragonal crystal-field parameters Ds and Dt are determined from the superposition model and the structural data for the Cu2+(1) site, by considering the effective elongation of the oxygen octahedron due to the Jahn-Teller effect of the Cu2+ cluster. Based on the calculations, the effective elongation (= 15%) of the ligand octahedron is obtained for the signals at 100K. As for the EPR signals at room temperature, the elongation declines to merely 4%, corresponding to the smaller anisotropy Delta g (=g(//) - g(perpendicular to)). The theoretical results for the g factors are in good agreement with the observed values, and the local tetragonal distortion due to the Jahn-Teller effect is discussed.

Investigation of the EPR g factors and defect structure for the Cu2+-V-Na center in the X-irradiated NaCl: Cu+ crystal

Physica B-Condensed Matter

The g factors of a tetragonally-compressed Cu2+ center in NaCl: Cu+ crystal X-irradiated at room temperature are calculated from the high-order perturbation formulas based on the two-mechanism model. In the model, the contribution to g factors from both crystal-field (CF) and charge-transfer (CT) mechanisms are included. The calculations are based on the defect model that the tetragonally-compressed Cu(2+)center is assigned to the Cu2+ ion (which is caused by Cu+ ion (at the Na+ site) irradiated by X-ray) associated with a nearest Na+ ion vacancy V-Na along C-4 axis due to charge compensation. From the calculations, the g factors g(parallel to) and g(perpendicular to) are explained and the defect structure (charactering by the displacement Delta Z of the Cl- ion intervening in Cu2+ and V-Na) of the Cu2+ (or Cu2+-V-Na) center is obtained. The results are discussed. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
