a facile co-precipitation method for the synthesis of well-dispersed ndfeo3 nanocrystals is developed in the presence of octanoic acid as surfactant. co-precipitation can produce fine, high-purity, stoichiometric particles of single and multicomponent metal oxides. the product is characterized by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ft-ir), x-ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron microsc...

Transition metal oxides host a wealth of exotic phenomena ranging from charge, orbital and magnetic order to nontrivial topological phases and superconductivity. In order to translate these unique materials properties into device functionalities these materials must be doped; however, the nature of carriers and their conduction mechanism at the atomic scale remain unclear. Recent angle-resolved...

Carbothermal reduction is among the oldest chemical processes, commonly used in the production of metals from the corresponding metal oxides or ores (e.g., iron from iron oxides). By using carbon as a reducing agent, decomposition of metal oxides at temperatures much lower than their typical decomposition temperatures can occur. However, a detailed fundamental understanding of such a reaction p...

Here we report that ternary metal oxides of type (Me)2O3 with the primary metal (Me) constituent being Fe (66 atomic (at.) %) along with the two Lanthanide elements Tb (10 at.%) and Dy (24 at.%) can show excellent semiconducting transport properties. Thin films prepared by pulsed laser deposition at room temperature followed by ambient oxidation showed very high electronic conductivity (>5 × 10...

Transitional metal oxides hold great potential for high capacity anodes. However, the low electron conductivity of such materials leads to poor cycling stability and inferior rate capability. We reported herein the use of a novel hydrogen plasma technology to improve the conductance of metal oxides, which leads great success in improving the rate performance of CuO nanotube based anodes. This m...

Hydrogen in metal oxides usually strongly associates with a neighboring oxygen ion through an O-H bond and thus displays a high stability. Here we report a novel state of hydrogen with unusually high mobility and reactivity in metal oxides at room temperature. We show that freshly doped hydrogen in Nb₂O₅ and WO₃ polycrystals via electrochemical hydrogenation can reduce Cu²⁺ ions into Cu⁰ if the...
