Magnetic properties of CoO nanoparticles
The magnetic circular X-ray dichroism (MCXD) of CoO nanoparticies was measured at low temperatures and in high magnetic fields. The particles show a superparamagnetic behaviour at room temperature, and a large...

The structure of vanadium oxide species on γ-alumina; an in situ X-ray absorption study during catalytic oxidation
The mechanism of catalytic oxidation reactions was studied using in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAFS) over a 17.5 wt% V2O5/Al2O3 catalyst, i.e., at reaction temperatures and in the presence of reactants. ...
