چکیده
these Newsletters as he is the Technical Consultant to ITIA and has contributed no less than 11 articles, beginning in 2003. This time, together with his colleague Matthias Weil of the Vienna University of Technology, he has been prompted by the spectacular colours of tungsten oxides to delve deeper into the science behind the phenomena.

Mixed-Metal Tungsten Oxide Photoanode Materials Made by Pulsed-Laser in Liquids Synthesis.
Globally scalable sunlight-driven devices that convert solar energy into storable fuels will require efficient light absorbers that are made of non-precious elements. Suitable photoanode materials are yet to be discovered. Here we utilised the timesaving nature of pulsed-laser-in-liquids synthesis and prepared a series of neat and mixed-metal tungsten oxide photoanode materials to investigate t...
متن کاملAn innovative approach to structural instabilities in tetragonal tungsten bronze crystals through the concept of rigid unit modes
Tetragonal tungsten bronze (TTB) oxides are one of the most important classes of ferroelectrics. Many of these framework structures undergo ferroelastic transformations related to octahedron tilting deformations. Such tilting deformations are closely related to the Rigid Unit Modes (RUMs). This paper discusses the whole set of RUMs in an ideal TTB lattice and possible crystal structures which c...
متن کاملGrowth of Thin Films of Molybdenum and Tungsten Oxides by Combustion Chemical Vapour Deposition using Aqueous Precursor Soluti
Using combustion chemical vapour deposition, layers of molybdenum and tungsten oxides have been deposited on glass and silicon at low temperatures. Inexpensive ammonium salts of molybdate and metatungstate ions were used as precursors and were delivered to the coating flame as an aqueous solution using a nebuliser. The resulting films were analysed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy ...
متن کاملSeed growth of tungsten diselenide nanotubes from tungsten oxides.
We report growth of tungsten diselenide (WSe2) nanotubes by chemical vapor deposition with a two-zone furnace. WO3 nanowires were first grown by annealing tungsten thin films under argon ambient. WSe2 nanotubes were then grown at the tips of WO3 nanowires through selenization via two steps: (i) formation of tubular WSe2 structures on the outside of WO3 nanowires, resulting in core (WO3)-shell (...
متن کاملTransition Metal Complexes of Diazenes, XVIII [1] Reactions of 1,2-Diazetines and 1,2-Diazetine-N-oxides with Chromium and Tungsten Carbonyls
Chromium and tungsten carbonyls react with 3,3,4,4-tetramethyl-l,2-diazetine (1) or its mono-N-oxide (2) to form complexes (l)M(CO)5, (l)2M(CO)4, (l)M2(CO)io, (l)2M2(CO)8, (l)3M2(CO)6 or (2)M(CO)5 and (2)2M(CO)4, resp. In the reactions of 2 some deoxygenation affords complexes of 1 as by-products. The stability of these and other complexes of the N = N group is related to the ring size of the c...
